摘要

本文主要的目的是藉由愛爾弗雷特•諾思•懷海德(Alfred North Whitehead, 1861-1947)的哲學思想與教育理念來探討大學教育的重心，以為大學教育實施的借鏡。由懷海德對教育的意義及職能、教育的目的、方法與課程的闡釋，提出對大學教育的建議。首先大專以上的教育應兼顧專才與通才，同時重視美感教育及知識的創新；其次，教師應重視學生自我發展與教育的節奏，並學習引起學生的動機與興趣；最後，學生必須將知識學以致用，並珍惜從實際的觀察與體驗中所得的知識，才不致使所學淪為惰性知識。

It was been a long time debatfe that the college should train for a specialist or a generalist. Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) had discussed deeply in 'The Arms of Education and Other Essays'. This study treats Whitehead's thinking and education theories. From them, we can find some edifications in our current collegiate education.
First, the college should both treat for a specialist and a generalist, and the teacher must respect student's self-development and the rhythm of education. Second, the student should learn how to use his learning from school in the society. He has to treasure the knowledge from experience and observation. Last, the teacher has to raise student's interests and motivations. At the same time, he should pay more attention to esthetics and innovation. Whitehead's thinking is large and scholarly. It would be a good reference not only to our collegiate education but to teachers, parents and the society.
