女性主義認識論與婦女學習

Feminist Epistemology and Women' s Learning

本文旨在探討女性主義認識論與女性主義教育學的發展，對於婦女學習所具 有的理論意涵。首先，說明立基在現代認識論基礎之上的各種成人學習理論，忽 視了源自於不同歷史、社會與文化脈絡的學習者，其經驗與自我所具有的差異性。相對地，女性主義認識論則是明白指陳知識建構背後所隱含的知識與權力關係，強調知識生產者所處社會位置對於知識建構所產生的影響，並說明女性經驗與知識的合法性。最後，在女性主義認識論的立論基礎之上，女性主義教育學強調具有女性主義關懷教學互動歷程的重要性，期望能藉由女性發聲、以及經驗意義與自我重構的學習歷程以達到女性增能的目標。

This article aims to explore women’s learning in the perspectives of feminist epistemologies and feminist pedagogy. It begins by indicating that the adult learning theories based on the foundation of modernist epistemology ignore the historical, social and cultural differences of the experiences and selves of learners. Instead, feminist epistemologies disclose the power relation behind the construction of knowledge that is influenced by the social position of the knowledge producers, and verify the legality of women’s experiences and knowledge. Based on the foundation of feminist epistemology, feminist pedagogy emphasize the importance of teaching and learning process with feminist care, expect to approach the aim of women empowerment by the learning process of giving voices and reconstructing the meanings of experiences and selves.
