受到學界的積極倡議與政策的頒佈實施,學校本位課程發展除吸引學者的投入研究外,也帶動了教育現場的實際行動。一時之間,有關學校本位課程發展的研究與論述大量湧現且成果豐碩,這些研究成果不但說明了學校本位課程發展的風潮盛況,提供了學校本位課程的理念指引,加速學校的經驗分享,更開展了國內課程改革的新氣象。惟檢視這些文獻仍可發現,有系統而全面的學校本位課程評鑑仍付諸闕如。而伴隨著學校本位課程發展的勢在必行,如何避免學校本位的課程發展流於標新立異、移植抄襲或忽略學校自身的需求,以落實學校本位課程發展,已成為社會各界關切的議題。這其中固有賴法令的配套與各級教育主管機關、學術團體對學校本位課程發展的評鑑,但如何讓學校建立自發的評鑑機制,強化學校的課程發展監控系統,以提高學校課程發展過程與成品的品質,更是不可忽略的一環。本文即在強調學校本位課程評鑑的重要與必要,提供學校本位課程評鑑的理論與實務,希望藉此促進學校成員對評鑑的覺知,協助教師、行政人員、社區人士、家長等共同建構學校本位課程評鑑的行動藍圖,以針砭學校的課程發展方向,保證學校本位課程發展的品質,永續學校的課程發展與改革。
As the educators advocate and the proclamation of the ”Nine-year Articulated Curriculum Guideline”, school-based curriculum development (SBCD) has started to ”become a movement” which engages the energies of curriculum specialists and educators. In spite of the reports and actions of SBCD springing up, the concept and practice of evaluating SBCD still has not received much attention. This paper intends to focus on the school-based curriculum evaluation (SBCE) and articulate four main points. First, the meaning of SBCE is presented. Second, we argue the case for the SBCE and consider SBCE as an approach of enduring SBCD. The third section of the paper provides the procedure, evaluation indicators and participants involved. Finally, the guiding principles of implementation which have attempted to illustrate the contexts and consideration of forms which help determine SBCE are discussed. To introduce the SBCE at the institutional level of school might not be an easy task, however, it should not be separated from the SBCD. SBCE should, moreover, be regarded as the approach of implementing and enduring SBCD.
