摘要

在2001年9月至2005年8月間，國內各大學法律教學者共同完成「法律人法意識之建構—台灣法學基礎教育現況之檢討與前瞻」研究計畫，親屬法亦列為子計畫之一。本文除透過計畫執行所得之實證資料，分析我國親屬法基礎教育的未來走向與興革之道外，亦嘗試在教學理念上提出若干研究者個人的觀察與思考所得。此外，對於四年來親屬法基礎法學教育之研究成果，本文也嘗試歸納整理原始資料，以表列方式呈現過去至今所累積的經驗。筆者立於傳承並前瞻的現在，還與讀者分享個人累積十年親屬法教學經驗的省思。對於未來，本文也企圖提出一個「民法親屬課程」的另類模型。相較於主流大學親屬課程，筆者之「個人權益模式」身分法教學體系從「出生」開始去討論個人身分權益的法律保障，從人性尊嚴的價值理念出發，首先在個人「成長發展」階段解析親子關係之成立、效果與變動以及以「子女最佳利益」作為立法原則的身分秩序，隨後進入「婚姻」階段，討論以「兩性平等」為基礎的結婚、離婚法律規範。這樣一個在理念與架構上都別於民法編制的課程設計，希望可以邀請前輩與同好一起來檢驗。

This paper is a condensed account of a four-year research outcome concerning the reform of family law education in Taiwan universities. The research findings are based not only on literature reviews but also on quantitative and qualitative analyses of organised field surveys including questionnaires, in-depth interviews, expert consultation meetings and focus group interviews. After a brief introduction to the purposes and execution of the four-year research project, this paper follows to summarize the accumulated results of each year, based on which the author proposes her own ideal pathology and a model teaching programme for Taiwan university family law courses.
It is argued that the teaching in family law courses, though based on Book IV of the Civil Code entitled Relatives, shall go beyond the Code to trace upward to the Constitution for its jurisprudential origin. The family law shall be aimed to protect an individual's right to the family and family life. Thus instead of the traditional university lectures on ”Law of the Relatives” starting from definitions of relatives in law, the author's ideal is to commence the course with the birth of a person into a nuclear family within which the best interests of the child is the first and paramount legal consideration. The course then moves into the stage of marriage between two persons in which sexual equality is the guiding principle of legislation. In both parts, proper connections of a child or a spouse to relatives outside of the nuclear family will be made in topics including guardianship, financial support, and the family council for dispute resolution.
