自傳文本的課程論述與批判

Autobiography Text: Curriculum Discourses and Criticism

課程領域自再概念化學派發展以來，其理論建構取向與論述層面便愈來愈多樣，充斥著不同的聲音。這些不同聲音的崛起自然是有其背後因素與理論依據。課程從原先想單純的建立一套具體而有效的理論，到後來受到抱持不同哲學立場的課程學者，對課程概念不斷加以省思和批判。「課程」這個領域顯然愈來愈不容易以一個單一的大型理論闡釋清楚。自傳文本乃延續再概念化學派所發展出來的立種獨特課程研究方法，其研究持質與質性研究派典息息相關。本文主要目的在於探究自傳文本的課程意涵，透過其理論基礎的分析，具體提出自傳文本的課程訴求與批判。在理論基礎方面，自傳文本乃值基於現象學與存在主義，講求人的主體性與經驗的反省。其體現在課程上的訴求為：強調人的主體性、重現意義的理解、尋求自我的認同與闡釋課程即經驗。
