摘要

二十世紀的科技高度發展帶來文化、經濟、政治的全球化現象，形成所謂的後現代社會，後現代社會的主要特質便是追求卓越、創意、多元價值。人類社會可說正處於現代化轉變為後現代價值觀的時期，後現代價值觀持續對現代化的價值觀、態度、科學和制度進行反思與批判；進而期待能在現有的經濟、文化結構中，以創新概念來創造個人與國家的競爭力。 台灣面對全球化的挑戰，正持續以創造力與創意來創造奇蹟，不論政府或企業組織皆積極地投入創新行列，企圖以創新的思維和行動，為自己、為後代子孫、為生活、為社區打造一個可永續發展的未來。教育單位有感於社會變遷急遽所造成的社會價值混淆與迷惑，而對國人的通識能力培育日漸重視，積極在各大學院校發展通識教育課程，以培育能因應新世紀挑戰能力的現代公民，並於民國83年創立中華民國通識教育學會，把通識教育列為大學教育課程的獨立領域，喚醒各大學院校體認通識教育的重要性，目前各大學專院校對通識教育可說已相當普遍，但是重要是如何「深化」教學內容、提升教學品質。站在通識教師的立場，本文期望能藉由系統觀點與投資觀點的匯合創造性理論探討，而對通識教育的內容深化、品質提升，能有所助益；本文首先介紹通識教育基本理念，然後分析新世紀社會特質，再引介匯合創造性理論，及探討創造性在新世紀對通識教育的啟示，最後提出結語。
