本文在分析近百年來課程研究的三個發展時期,即「科學實證典範」到「再概念化運動」及「後現代多元主義」的發展,從中評析每一時期課程研究(包含理論架構和方法論)的特性及其限制。然後分別從課程概念,以及理論內涵及方法論來說明未來可能研究的重點。在概念擴展方面提出「再建構」(restructuring)機制的建立,以及注重「在地知識」(local knowledge)、「留白課程」、實踐活動的意義和價值;在理論與方法論方面,則認為「生態取向」、「美學經驗」的詮釋與理解、「巨型-微型」研究的對話,都可以朝「理論化」(theorizing)的方向建構較佳的課程研究典範。
This study is to analyze three developmental stages of curriculum study in the last century, including scientific empirical paradigm, reconceptualization movement, and post-modern pluralism. First, the characteristics and limitations of the study of curriculum in the different stages will be examined deeply. Next, the study will elaborate the key points of a future study in perspective of curriculum concepts, theoretical framework and research methods. As to the concept elaboration, the ”restructuring” mechanism set-up, the caring of local knowledge, the ”blank curriculum” and the meaning and values of praxis will be proposed within. On the behalf of a theoretical framework and research methods, it will be suggested that the annotation and comprehension of ”ecology-oriented” and ”aesthetic-experienced” approach, and the fusion between the researches of ”macro-micro” are encouraged to direct toward theorizing the construction of a better curriculum study paradigm.
