台灣新移民子女教育課題與方向一多元文化教育概念之重建

早期的台灣是以移民所組成的社會。從明、清到戰後的五O 年代，人口不斷地從外移入台灣。近年來，隨著婚姻移民來台的人數逐漸累增，快速組成台灣人口結構中不可小覷的一部份，甚至繼「原住民」「本省籍」、「客家人」、「外省族群」之後，儼然成為台灣的第五大族群。事實上，移民，不論是自然形成的現象，還是政策的有意規劃，均是世界普遍存在的人口遷移樣態。然而，對移入國而言，移民的出現也可能改變其經濟、社會、文化與政治現況，帶來資源的重分配、文化的衝突、價值的分歧，甚至是政治權力的轉移，不但對本土居民帶來衝擊，也會衍生出新的社會課題。因而，教育上如何因應並適切規劃移民及其子女的教育政策，便成為教育研究的重要議題之一。本文旨在探討台灣新移民子女教育的課題與未來發展方向。全文共分四部分，首先說明台灣新移民社會的形成；其次，剖析新移民子女教育的問題；之後，檢視移民教育的相關學理論述，最後，提出改進台灣新移民子女教育的具體措施。
