反思「臺北市終身學習運動」——兼論21世紀成人基本素養

Reflctions on Taipei City Government Lifelong Learning Movement In Taiwan: The discourses of Adult Basic Literacy in the 21st Century

國家與民間社會、公部門與私部門合力推展的終身學習運動搭起21世紀的教育橋樑。本文主要目的在檢討台北市政府推動終身學習運動的成效，並論述國家在終身學習社會中的角色，以及民眾所應具備的基本素養。台北市終身學習運動的特色是官辦為主，兼及公設民營；以培養民眾的基本生活和職業知能為主，並輔以藝術欣賞和藝能訓練，至於帶動「全人學習」的社區大學剛起步。當社會邁向全球化，公民社區生活、經濟生活和媒介文化生活均發生質變，因此，成人應具備多重素養（世界公民素養、政治與經濟素養、工作素養、家庭素養和媒介╱科技素養等），素養內涵是：多元知識領域、學習如何學習和批判思考技巧，以及尊重文化差異、環境倫理和生命意義等價值觀。

Lifelong learning will provide educational bridge to the 21 century.The principle concern in this article is that governments need to emphasizelifelong learning through fostering regional and transnational alliances andbuilding relationships with private and the third sectors in order to contributeto the large learning networks.　　At first, I present an overview on the lifelong learning programs ran beTaipei City Government from 1997 to the present. Then multiliteracies pedagogyincluding civic literacy, political and economic literacy, work literacy, familyliteracy, information and media literacy, ABE/literacy with health education aresuggested in order to account for both radical changes occurring in the natureof public community and economic life, and growing a variety of text formsassociated with information and multimedia technoogies. Under the conditionsof a risk society, I argue that lifelong education has its own specific missionto foster a variety of knowledge, a critical attitude and a value in the creationof human potential.
