台灣地區廣播電視教育之回顧、現況、前瞻

The Development of the Broadcast Education in Taiwan

本文旨在分析與探討廣播電視教育在台灣地區的發展，並提出若干未來發展應重視之問題。廣播電視教育在台灣地區乃根本於早年之高職及專科的技職教育，逐漸結合棲身於高等教育中新聞或傳播系所之廣播電視組，隨著電子媒介的發展而共同成長，而後成為今日獨立之學術領域。其人才培育也由傳統的廣電新聞及節目製播，擴展至媒介管理及生態研究；更因為相關研究所之投立，日益重視理論及文化之研究。然如廣電研究所之設立、高級師資之強化、本土化研究之推動、實習情境之建構、以及各校專精領域之區隔，研究者認為是未來發展要解決的重要課題。

This study describes and discusses the development of broadcast education in Taiwan. From the analysis of available data, three developmental stages are identified. The first stage was the origin of broadcast education at the technical-oriented vocational education level. It emphasized on the skills and technical trainning of production. At the second stage, broadcast education started to develop in the journalism or the mass communications departments at the higher education system. It had not yet been recognized as an independent academic area. Broadcast education was either a sub-division or a sub-program that attached to these well-established academic programs or departments. Broadcast journalism and Radio/TV programming were the sole concentration. At last, the stage of maturity came. Broadcast education became an independent area at the higher education level with the establishment of Radio/TV Department of National Chengchi University in 1988. The curriculum covers media management and media ecology besides the traditional broadcast journalism and pregram production. Few existing graduate programs in communications also have devoted their studies into the telecommunication related fields. Theoretic and policy studies have become popular and helpful to this area. However, issues as to elevate the quality of faculty, to promote more studies in local setting or industry, to provide effective learning environment for learners, and to establish graduate programs with diversified concentrations are critical features to the future development of Taiwan's broadcast education.
