本研究旨在探討教育機會均等的理念與實施概況,藉由探訪偏遠地區國中發展特色課程的過程,了解偏遠學校教育資源分酣的概況,以反映教育機會均等理念的落實情形。首先,探討教育機會均等概念的內涵和教育資源分配對偏遠學校的影響;其次,透過實地走訪一所偏遠地區的學校個案,探究學校發展特色課程的緣起、過程與成果,了解過程中遭遇的問題和解決途徑,以及反映偏遠學校的教育資源分酣困境。綜合來看,本研究發現學校特色課程的發展係源於實際問題的解決,在校長的領導下結合校內外資源,推動球隊、龍隊和合作學習等特色課程,有助於改善學校課程發展和實踐的困境;不過,它也反映出人力和經費不足的嚴重問題,進而影響其課程實踐的品質。最後,提出本研究的建議和後續研究的方向。
