摘要

本文旨在比較臺灣與英國中小學階段的科技教育課程，臺灣方面以民國90年教育部公佈的九年一貫課程綱要中之「自然與生活科技」學習領域爲依據，英國方面則以1988年後實施之國定課程中之(Design & Technology) D&T的課程架構爲基礎。採用Bereday之描述、解釋、並排與比較的比較教育研究方法與步驟，對兩國科技教育的課程定位、課程目標、課程綱要、學習節數、能力指標、學習評鑒等專案分析其異同，以做爲臺灣國中小各校進行九年一貫課程有關科技教育之課程設計的參考。
比較分析結果，本文獲致下列結論與建議爲：(1)臺灣與英國皆重視科技教育，但英國更為積極與明確。(2)臺灣與英國皆重視能力標凖，但英國較具連續性、統整性與順序性。(3)臺灣與英國皆強調多元評量，但英國較爲嚴謹與落實。(4)臺灣的科技教育已逐漸接納英國系統之設計與科技課程。(5)臺灣修訂中之高中課程總綱應重視科技課程。

The purpose of the study is to compare the differences of the curriculum of technology education at primary and secondary stages between Britain and Taiwan. The curriculum of technology education in Taiwan is based on the ideas of the learning domain---Science & Living Technology in the outline of the Nine Year Joint Curriculum released by the Ministry of Education in 2001. As for the curriculum of technology education in Britain, it is based on the curricular structure of Design & Technology (D&T) in the British National Curriculum since 1988. Borrowing Bereday's descriptive, interpretative, juxtaposition, and comparative educational research methodology, the researchers analyze the similarities and dissimilarities of curriculum positioning, curriculum goals, curriculum outlines, frequency of classes, ability index, and learning evaluation. The results of the analysis may act as a reference for Taiwan's primary and secondary schools to conduct curriculum design for technology education.
According to the results of the analysis, the following conclusions and suggestion have been made:
1. Both Britain and Taiwan put a high premium on technology education; however, the former is more active as well as definite.
2. Both Britain and Taiwan look highly on ability standards; however, the standards of Britain are more continuous, integrated, and sequent.
3. Both Britain and Taiwan emphasize diverse evaluation; however, the evaluation system of Britain is more severe, rigid, and implemented.
4. The technology education in Taiwan has gradually adapted British design and technology curriculum.
5. Taiwan should place a greater importance on technology curriculum when amending the general curriculum principles for senior high schools.
