戰後初期之臺灣省立臺北高級中學研究（1945-1949）

Research of Taiwan Provincial Taipei Senior High School, 1945-1949

「臺灣省立臺北高級中學」乃由日治時期「臺灣總督府臺北高等學校」改制而來，臺北高校創立於大正11年(1922)，為日治時期臺灣唯一一所「舊制高校」，舊制高校的特色在於，學生原則上得以免試直升帝國大學，並具有優於全島的課程、師資以及獨特的「自由自治」校風，該校培育的校友多為日本、臺灣社會各領域中的領導者。戰後，國民政府接收臺灣，並帶來與日治時期截然不同的學制，民國34年(1945)11月，臺北高校改制為臺北高中，並於民國35年(1946) 6月起，與「臺灣省立師範學院」共用同一校地，卻在民國38年(1949) 7月決議停辦，與師範學院合併，校地與校產皆歸師範學院所有，就此消失於臺灣人的記憶中。
臺北高中僅於歷史上存在的短短五年時間，正面臨新舊政權的交接之際，隨著新政權而來的新學制、語言與文化，改變了臺北高中的命運。本文旨在研究臺北高中的成立與廢校過程、學制、課程、學風等，期以建構臺北高級中學的全貌，並探討隨著新政權而來的劇烈制度丶語言、文化改變，對於臺北高中的影響。

Taiwan Provincial Taipei Senior High School is the successor of Taihoku Higher School which was the only“old system higher school”established in 1922 during Japanese colonial period. The feature of“old system higher school”was that in principle higher school students were able to enter the Imperial University with exam-free admission. Additionally, this school was superior in school curriculum and the quality of teachers and equipped with an unique atmosphere of“liberty and autonomy”. Last but not least, the alumni of this school had mostly become leaders in different fields of expertise in the society of both Japan and Taiwan.
After the war, the Nationalist government took over Taiwan and introduced a new education system which was totally different from Japanese system. Taihoku Higher School had transformed into Taiwan Provincial Taipei Senior High School. In November, 1945, and shared the campus with Taiwan Provincial Teachers College since June, 1946. However, Taipei Senior High School was closed down in July, 1949 and merged with Provincial Teachers College. As the possession of the campus and all the property were taken by Provincial Teachers College, Taiwanese people’s memory of Taipei Senior High School faded away.
Due to the transition of the old and new regimes and new education system, language and culture brought by new regime, the destiny of Taipei Senior High School had changed. The thesis aims to investigate the establishment and abolition of Taipei Senior High School. The education system, curriculum and atmosphere of Taipei Senior High School would be discussed. Furthermore, how the dramatic transformation on system, language and culture caused by new regime affected its students in school would also be demonstrated.
