台灣教育制度中的傳統社會文化慣性探索

Study of Cultural Inertia in Traditional Society in Relation to Taiwan's Education System

從台灣戰後繁雜多樣教育理念與目標的爬梳整理，以及參考教育現場中的制度運行方式，發現台灣的教育仍一直受到傳統文化慣性的支配，至今難以有真正的改變。經由各種教育文獻資料與有關教育現場之經驗研究的整理分析，本論文試圖指出台灣教育制度所展現的中央集權與為考試所宰制的特質，其實主要和其背後存在但隱而不顯的家父長心態與科舉文化及名實分離習性等傳統社會文化慣性有密切相關。依據本論文的探討，我們可以發現若不能在這些基礎觀念上有所改變，即很難在台灣教育制度的設計與執行上有真正創新的可能。

By analyzing educational ideas and goals and by observing the practice of education in Taiwan, this study verified that Taiwan's education system is still dominated by the cultural inertia of tradition, and no avenues for change are evident. Through an analysis of various educational archives and empirical research findings regarding the field of education, this study investigated the characteristics of the centralization of Taiwan's education system and the characteristics of the dictation of examinations. This paper indicates that these characteristics are based on a patriarchal mentality, the culture of imperial examination, and the custom of separating concepts and realities. The author argues that if the basic aspects of traditional cultural inertia cannot be changed, it will not be possible to integrate real innovations into the design and implementation of a new education system in Taiwan.
