摘要

美感教育之良窳，與國民活力、創造力、社會治亂息息相關，緊密相連，因為美感素養是看不見的競爭力。在知識教育不斷傾向世俗化、功利化、商業化之際，探詢美感議題，實有其合理性、必要性，更有其迫切性。有人提出「美感可教嗎？」之疑慮，點出了美感教育推動之困難度。人類不斷在演化，人性也不斷在重新模塑，唯有推動美感教育，才能扭轉反文明的困局與危機，才能提昇人之品質，讓人性作向上向善的改變，由向外追求改為向內探詢。教育是一種充滿價值理想的事業，教育不僅在於滿足社會之所欲，也要提供社會之所需，我們社會所需的就是「唯知識至上」以外的情感、感性、人性之教育，美感教育正是此種取向，能提供當前社會之所需求。美感教育能夠促進人性開展、人心發朗、情感和暢，是人性的點滴工程。美感素養不是人生的附屬，而是與生命的本質意義一體同根。美感教育的落實，除了藝術領域的學科之外，尚要由其他課程、相關活動及日常生活中去達成，本研究即是由協同、統整的觀點提出落實美感教育的七個重要途徑：注重群性培育、厚植人文涵養、道德教育的陶成、加強情意教育、深化藝術素養、從事自然體驗、內在精神的豁醒。本研究由此七個層面來反省、詮釋有關美感教育之種種問題。探詢所依循之理路，除了教育的原理原則外，也掌握教改理念及時代思潮，並運用教育哲學的思辨、分析、批判，俾發現問題及提出可行之芻議，竊盼經由本研究能引發政府機關、教育人員對美感教育之種種，從事更多之關注、對話與行動，冀期能展現美感教育新風貌，回歸生活化、適性化、多元化的教育本質。

Since the quality of aesthetic education has a great deal to do with the vitality and originality of citizens, one's disposition of aesthetics is becoming more crucial. It is reasonable, urgent, and essential that the issue of aesthetics education be deeply concerned when educational system tends to be secularized, utilitarian, and commercialized. Some may raise a doubt that whether aesthetic sensibility can be taught, which points out the difficulty of promoting aesthetic education. Because human beings are constantly in the course of evolution, human nature is also moldable as well. Only by boosting aesthetic education can people in this globalized era reverse the trend of anti-civilization. The human nature is thus on a higher and better level.Education, a career filled with value and ideal, provides the society with what it needs. What our society needs is the education of humanities besides the knowledge-based education. Therefore, aesthetic education falls exactly into the realm of what our society needs. It not only can encourage and enlighten a person but is a long-term construction project itself. One's disposition of aesthetics is not affiliated to the life but rooted in the life instead.To put aesthetic education into practice, there should be seven ways to be adopted besides ordinary subjects of arts: strengthening humanistic quality, intensifying a holistic education, prospering moral education, reinforcing affective education, enriching one's artistic disposition, emphasizing naturalistic experience, and reviving one's inner spirit. Based on the seven aspects, this study sets out to inquire and explore various elements of aesthetic education.In addition to the pedagogical principles, the notion of educational reform and an ideological trend are also taken into consideration to find out, think over, analyze, criticize certain issues, and make proposals on the basis of pedagogical philosophy. As a result, the purpose of this research is to launch the concern, dialogue, and action between the government and teachers about aesthetic education.
