臺灣教育史研究的回顧與展望（2020-2021年）

Research on History of Education of Taiwan (2020-2021): Retrospect and Prospect

本文旨在回顧2020-2021年關於臺灣教育史之研究成果。近兩年在臺灣刊登或出版的臺灣教育史之新研究成果計有62篇／本。2020年發表之研究成果43篇／本，2021年發表者19篇／本，兩年度發表數量略有懸殊。就出版形式觀之，期刊論文或專書論文24篇、碩博士論文15篇、專書23本，以期刊或專書論文居多。就斷代觀之，清領時期5篇／本、日治時期28篇／本、戰後時期25篇／本、跨時代4篇／本。顯然的，近兩年的研究成果中，日治時期和戰後依然是熱門的研究主題，尤其是碩博士論文15篇中，以日治時期為主題者4篇，以戰後為主題者9篇，跨時代主題者2篇，年輕的研究者似乎偏向以戰後作為研究課題。清領時期的研究成果5篇，均係沿襲向來的研究傳統，探討臺灣科舉制度或儒學設施。日治時期的臺灣教育史研究成果，主要集中各級學校教育、學科教育史及學校生活與校園文化等之課題。至於戰後臺灣教育史研究，不僅數量增加，且研究課題多樣化。總之，近兩年的臺灣教育史研究顯示研究課題多元，並力求新史料之突破，以及新研究觀點之利用，使研究成果更加豐富周延。惟不少新課題之探討不過開其端緒，仍有待日後周延地爬梳史料，從事嚴謹的論證分析，方可望提高研究價值。

This article provides a review of research on Taiwan’s history of education from 2020 to 2021. In total, there were 62 research articles published, 43 in 2020 and 19 in 2021, showing a stark difference in the number of publications between these two years. Among them, 24 were journal articles, book chapters or proceedings, 15 were master or doctoral theses, and 23 were monographs, with 5 studies covering the Qing Dynasty; 28, the Japanese colonial era; 25, post-world war II, and the remaining 4 covering more than one period of time. Apparently, topics related to the Japanese colonial era and post-world war II were more popular. In particular, for the 15 master and doctoral dissertations, 4 were about the Japanese colonial era; 9 on post-world war II, and 2 covering two time periods, indicating the preference of young scholars towards research on post-war topics.
In line with traditional research, the 5 works on the Qing Dynasty explored the Qing Imperial Examination System and Confucius institutions in Taiwan. Studies covering the Japanese colonial era focused mainly on discussing school education at all levels, history of school subjects as well as campus life and culture. With regard to research on post-war history of education, not only did the number of studies increase, the topics also became more diverse. In conclusion, research on Taiwan’s history of education between 2020 and 2021 showed a wide variety of topics with breakthroughs in applying new historical materials and novel research perspectives, thus yielding richer and more comprehensive outcomes. However, many new research studies have just begun. Fruitful research outcomes would require thorough examination of historical archives and rigorous logical analysis.
