To meet the need of the national situation, the R.O.C. Government initiated the Military Training System in the period of Political Tutelage several decades ago. The system arranged military officers as instructors in high school and college campus. As time lapses, Taiwan has transformed its political systems from authoritarian to democratic regimes. In this course of democratization, the massive student movements in the 1980s have targeted uniformed soliders in the campus which symbolized the legacy of authoritarian rules. The question whether the campus military training system and personnel should be maintained therefore aroused enthusiastic debates. The discussion faded, however, when the University Law was amended to legalize the position of military instructors in campus. The purpose of this research fries to explore the role of the military instructors in each historical stage, and how they adjust their self-image and functions followed the processes of democratic developments. Actually, military training instructors have fare amazingly well in the course of transition. Via intensive interviews and participatory observation, it is found that military training instructors can manage to adapt themselves to the need of society, changing their initial role of administrator to that of instructor (in military training education), student consultant, service provider, and military service agent. All four functions have been well acknowledged by school colleagues, parents and students. To make the system sustainable, we need to modify the title of military training instructor' and improve their academic profession to make them qualified teachers. |
