摘要

在快速變遷的社會中，高等技職教育課程也在不斷地調整，以提供國家經建發展所需適質適量的人力資源需求。教育部在各大學所系的調整與規劃中，對所系之調整必須針對產業所需，做了很明確的規範。但所系調整後，只是儘可能地，在整體人力資源供給面上對照了產業結構與需求，可是就學生個人而言，仍有學習的興趣和修課的藩籬待解決。在當前的制度下，進入大學後即受限於系的修課規範，學生修課的彈性與自由受到了限制，也成了各系無形的疆界，實施學程制的聲音在學制改革座談會中時有所聞，而爲了增加升學及學習彈性，教育部技職司也針對此提出學群學程制(Cluster Curriculum)。本文係針對技職院校實施學群學程制之適切性，以及在擷取學程之精神，兼顧在當前環境下之可行性措施，就課程學程化設計以效益模式提出探討。研究發現，確實在主、副學程分離均衡(Splitting Equilibrium)的學程設計，將優於現階段一貫學程(Disperse Curriculum)的混合均衡(Pooling Equilibrium)。

Due to the rapid change in the world technology and the growth of national economy, the traditional curriculum design in vocational education system is difficult to meet the industrial demands. Cluster curriculum, originally proposed to enhance graduate student's employment capabilities by researchers and promoted by the Ministry of Education, integrates limited educational resources and provides students with more flexible study environments without unnecessary restrictions across the departments. As part of our previous reports in this topic, this research evaluating students' future income by an economic model and conducting a significance analysis by a questionnaire survey, is aimed to implement the cluster curriculum design in vocational and technological universities. It is found that the cluster curriculum design with separating major/minor courses is superior to the current one, disperse curriculum with all courses pooling together. Examining a case study at Shu-Te University of Science and Technology in Taiwan and using descriptive statistics and correlations, we describe the characteristics of the cluster curriculum as well as suggest the three factors contributing to the major dimensions of the curriculum design for further analysis.
