少年矯正學校課程模式之研究——以明陽中學為例

The Curriculum of the Juvenile Correctional School in Taiwan: A Case Study of Ming Yang High School

少年矯正學校的成立，是為了改善收容在少年矯正機構中學生的處遇，給予他們真正適合其所需的教育。本研究針對目前國內唯一一間收容少年受刑人的少年矯正學校——明陽中學，探討其課程規劃的模式，採質性研究取向的個案研究法。透過大量的文件蒐集、深度訪談以及觀察等資料蒐集方式，將取得的資料加以整理，以正式課程、抽離式課程與非正式課程的架構分析，歸納出明陽中學的課程模式，提供相關課程研究、規劃和實施的參考。 相較於一般學校以學術性向為主的教學模式，明陽中學的課程試圖以不同型態的方向發展，包括正式、非正式課程的規劃，讓學生有更多類別的選擇，依個別的意願與性向鎖定學習的主軸。無論是正式班級、社團的選擇，乃至於臨時班、個別學習或班級活動的參與，都只是學習的工具或手段，讓學生了解自己的優勢能力與缺陷，透過訓練或在活動準備的過程，發覺自己的不足和需要，自願性地讓自己主動學習增能，達成自我成長的目標。明陽課程模式的特殊性，就是在原本認定最需要被規格化的監獄中，施以最大的彈性：不管學什麼，都只是一個途徑或介面，讓學生充分自我探索、訓練思考、培養各種能力，並且學習建立人與人之間的良好關係，培養未來社會所需公民的能力與態度。 The juvenile correctional schools in Taiwan were established to improve the original treatments of the students in the correctional institutions, providing them the proper education they truly need.
