「美感是一種競爭力。」歐盟把文化表達能力列為學生未來的關鍵能力之一。所謂文化表達能力包含了能夠欣賞創意、體驗美術、音樂、文學、藝術⋯各種美感經驗,進而融入、落實於日常生活之中。教育部有鑑於此國際潮流,將民國103年定為「美感教育年」,連續十年推動兩期的美感教育計畫,讓美感教育的內涵更為多元、創新,並積極與國際接軌。中國大陸、日本與臺灣地緣相近,在歷史、文化上的相互影響更是難以切割,而在教育制度的規劃與實施上,更有諸多相似之處,研究者以文化相關連的角度切入,深入瞭解、比較這三個國家在小學階段實施美術課程的現況,並擷取各國的優點與特色,在觀念、行政作為、課程規劃、教師專業、課程教學等方面提出相關建議,做為彼此觀摩、借鑑時的參考。
"Aesthetics is a competitive edge". The European Union has identified cultural expression as one of the key competencies for the future of students. Cultural expression includes the ability to appreciate creativity, experience art, music, literature and other aesthetic experiences, and then integrate them into their lives and practice them in daily life. In view of this international trend, the Ministry of Education designated the year 103 as the year of "Aesthetic Education" and promoted two phases of this program for ten consecutive years, making the content of Aesthetic Education more diversified and innovative, and also actively aligning it with international standards. The researcher takes a culturally relevant perspective to understand and compare the current situation of the implementation of art curriculums in elementary schools in these three countries. The researcher extracts the advantages and characteristics of each country to propose relevant concepts, administrative actions, curriculum planning and teaching. The researcher will then also take these advantages and characteristics and make relevant suggestions in the abovementioned areas as a reference for mutual observation and learning.
