「九年一貫課程改革」為我國教育史上最重要的改革之一,影響至深且鉅。為求實施之審慎周延,教育部決定在九十學年度全面實施之前,進行為期兩年的試辦計畫。此一重大教育改革的試辦計畫,具有關鍵性指標作用,誠為當前重要研究議題。學校本位課程是九年一貫課程改革的核心理念之一,本研究旨在探討參與試辦的學校其學校本位課程發展的歷程與模式。研究討象包括三所參與試辦計畫的國民中學。研究者採取合作式行動研究,以質化方法蒐集相關資料,包括學校文件、相關人員訪談、教學及重要會議觀察紀錄等,所得資料用內容分析、編碼、軼事敘述法、多重角度比對等方法進行分析。研究發現為:(1)課程發展組織:各科內部教師間深厚的專業對話基礎為全校性課程組織得以健全運作的前提;(2)課程發展範圍:初期各校均以小範圍、外加式、非正式課程與課程調整的方式進行課程發展;(3)課程發展歷程:集中焦點、逐漸引導、由上轉下為較有效的發展策略;(4)課程發展動力:在由上而下的行政主導和由下而上的教師自主發展之間,共有四種推動模式。研究結果對民國九十一學年度國中全面實施九年一貫課程可提供重要啟示。
The ”Nine-year Curriculum Program for Compulsory Education (NCPCE)”, a landmark in Taiwan's educational reform, emphasizes school-based curriculum and integration among different subject matters, with the goal of cultivating ten basic competencies for all citizens. This study focuses on understanding the patterns of school-based curriculum development of the schools participating in an experiment project of NCPCE. The sample subjects include three experimental schools in Taipei City. This study takes the collaborative action research approach to gather qualitative data from school documents, interviews and classroom observations. Analytical methods include content analysis, coding, narrative summary and triangulation.Research findings include: (1) Building professional dialogue among teachers is the prerequisite for establishing a well-functioning school-wide curriculum development organization; (2) All three experimental schools start their experiments with small-scale readjustment of their informal curriculum;(3) The most effective strategy seems to be the one with a focused theme developed by a core group of teachers under a balanced leadership; (4) The dynamics between the top-down versus bottom-up endeavors produces four motivating patterns for school-based curriculum development. These findings provide important insight for the implementation of NCPCE by all the junior high schools in Taiwan in 2002.
