本研究旨在探究課程慎思應用於教室層級課程實施的價值,藉以提供我國小學課程與教學革新的建議。透過文獻探討,分析課程慎思的義涵與重要性,探究課程慎思在教室層級課程實施的應用途徑,以及語文教學的概況、發展與相關議題;最後,綜合相關研究的探討,選擇小學語文教學作為研究主題。因此,採取質的個案研究方法,探索三位小學低年級教師的語文課程實踐;透過教師訪談與教室觀察,自2000年進行至2001年,藉以深入理解個案教師的課程構思、實踐與反省的內容,分析個案教師的慎思特質,探討相關的影響因素、以及課程慎思發揮的功能。綜合研究討論結果,獲得以下結論:一、課程慎思即實踐藝術的應用,折衷藝術為關鍵的要素;二、課程慎思為Schwab倡議,能提升課程發展與實踐的品質;三、教室的課程實施為實踐問題,適於個人課程慎思的應用;四、課程慎思在語文教育的應用,重視過程導向的實踐活動;五、教師具有不同程度的慎思特質,賴以處理教室實踐活動;六、教師的課程慎思受教師、內容、學生與情境等因素的影響;七、應用課程慎思的課程實施,能發揮由內而外的改革效果。所以,本研究就語文課程與教學的經營、教室層級的課程發展、教師課程慎思知能的提升、課程政策的實施、與後續研究的方向等方面,提出相關的建議。
The purpose of this study was to explore the application of curriculum deliberation in classroom curricular implementation. The review of literature included three parts: (1) its origin in history, connotation and significance; (2) the function of curriculum deliberation, and its application in classroom curricular implementation; (3) the recent development and issues of language arts in the elementary education. The field study was to investigate the language arts (Mandarin Chinese) teaching of three case elementary teachers in their classrooms. The methods applied in this study included the classroom observation and in-depth interview. There are seven conclusions resulted from this study, which were as follows: (1) curriculum deliberation is as the application of practical arts, inseparable from eclectic arts; (2) the perspective of curriculum deliberation was initiated by J. Schwab, which could improve the quality of curriculum development and practice; (3) the task of classroom curricular implementation is practical problems, which would be dealt properly with the application of curriculum deliberation; (4) the application of curriculum deliberation in language arts practice would be process-oriented; (5) the three case teachers had the characters of curriculum deliberation to some degree; (6) the curriculum deliberations of teachers were influenced by the practical perspectives of themselves, the interactions of the students, general and specific, and the classrooms situation; (7) the application of curriculum deliberation could encourage the curricular and instructional reform within classrooms. Drawn from the study experience, there are some implications provided for structuring the language arts practices, classroom as a curriculum-developing occasion, fostering the capacities of curriculum deliberation, the implementation of curriculum policies, and further research.
