摘要

隨著民國七十六年政府解嚴，人民自主意識逐漸高漲，各界對於教科書統編制度的批判甚囂塵上，認為其不符合開放社會的精神，而應擴大基層教師的課程決定權，以提昇教師之課程專業自主權。在一陣教育改革的聲浪中，民國八十三年六月，教育部即宣佈自八十五學年度開始，國小教科書全面開放審定制。於是民間各出版社競相投入教科書市場，許多優秀的國小教師紛紛受到網羅，加入編輯行列，基層教師進漸漸成為教科書編輯的主流。本文旨在闡述教科書開放審定制，象徵著課程政策自由化、課程權力重新分配，尤其對於教師課程專業自主權的擴大具有重要意義。連帶地，亦將促使教師在不斷反省、思考與學習中獲得專業成長。同時，根據二十三位參與各出版單位教科書編輯的國小教師之訪談結果，從其參與動機、權限與困擾，探討參與教科書編輯對於教師專業自主的意義。最後提出若干建議，期有助於解決教師在教科書編輯中的困擾，進而提昇教師之專業自主權，促進教師之專業成長。
