英文摘要 |
In recent years, scholars have gradually introduced concepts of a philosophy of music education originating in North America into the Taiwan music education system without thoroughly investigating their meaning, methodology, and implications. While these concepts have enriched the scholarship of music education in Taiwan, their adoption as the standard of the practice and research has been perhaps premature, and it has occurred despite the fact that the academic community has never critically examined the validity of its fundamental premises. The purpose of this study is to consider the following questions: first, what are the meaning and implications of the philosophy of music education in its current state; second, should a music education philosophy with a more appropriate set of paradigms be developed; and third, does a philosophy of music education have inherent limitations? |
