隨著世界思潮的演變及知識經濟時代的來臨,再加上國內教育改革政策廣設高中、大學,擴增學生普通教育的升學管道,在在使得我國技職教育扮演的功能與角色受到質疑,改革的呼聲隨之而起,甚而受到排擠,日益萎縮。然而反觀世界其他國家其技職教育之理念、目標、形式、內涵因能隨著社會及經濟情勢的改變而有所變革,反不見衰退。以和我國同文同種且技職教育發展情況類似的中國大陸為例,近三十多年來不斷強調技職教育的重要性,並且全力發展技職教育。鑑於中等技職教育乃是整個技職教育體系的基礎,是技職教育體系非常重要的組成部分,而課程與教學又是中等技職教育成效的核心,因此欲從探索改進課程與教學著手進行研究。 本研究的主要程序乃在於嘗試比較海峽兩岸中等技職教育之課程與教學內涵,從探討影響海峽兩岸中等技職教育課程與教學內涵的因素、海峽兩岸中等技職教育的現況與學制到比較海峽兩岸中等技職教育課程與教學內涵的差異(針對教育目標、類科設置、課程架構、課程發展、教材編製及教學方法)等,並分成現況、特色、問題及發展四個面向加以並列比較,進而從中獲得對我國中等技職教育課程與教學改進的啟示。 而將上述獲得的啟示,分別對課程結構、課程發展、課程實施、課程修訂、課程教學及課程教材提出建議,使職業學校教育更具效率、更貼近行業企業用人單位脈動,符應社會經濟的需求。尤其值此高職99新課綱實施之際,進而使技職教育的改革更趨完善,發揮技職教育應有之角色與功能。
