日治時期的蕃童教育所學藝會的創辦與發展

Gakugeikai of Primary Indigenous Educational Institution in Japanese Colonial Period

日本人為臺灣原住民族帶來全新的教育方式，也帶來新的「學校行事」，其中「學藝會」對於原住民而言，是未曾經歷過的嶄新經驗。「學藝會」除了是學校行事活動的一環外，重要的是殖民者透過如此的活動，進而掌握原住民學習的狀況。此外，這活動所匯集的眾多參加人數，以及跨部落的集會活動，讓原住民的心理空間隨之加大，不再侷限於部落之內。本研究發現對於殖民者而言，學藝會具有多面向的規訓功能；對原住民而言，學藝會影響他們的認知世界。

Japanese gave indigenous people new educational institutions and activities, and established new school schedule. Among these activities Gakugeikai was a new experience for the indigenous children. Gakugeikai was a part of the school schedule, it meant for Japanese colonizer to grasp the real situation and effect of the education set by them. Besides, it could assemble masses of pan-tribal indigenous people by Gakugeikai, and enlarge their cognitive space, no long limited in a tribal society. This study found that for the colonists, Gakugeikai would be geared towards a multi-dimesional functions of discipline; for indigenous peoples, Gakugeikai would affect their world-view.
