摘要

本文重點意欲探討自一九八四年各大學推動「通識教育」課程，至今（一九九九年）將近十五年來，在認知與實踐上，究竟呈現何種實績？在試驗與摸索中，將如何開展未來的方向？
簡言之，本文從批判與反思的觀點，論述台灣地區實施通識教育的變遷，以歷史發展為主軸，描述了通識教育緣起的兩個源頭，指出通識教育的背景及目的。再從通識的「正規課程」和「潛在課程」的情境配合，來呈現通識教育的當代意義及內涵。至於變遷軌跡的批判與反思主要集中在下列五個要點：
一、意識形態的變遷
二、課程的變遷
三、師資的變遷
四、學生學習態度的變遷
五、通識行政的變遷

The paper intends to answer the following questions: (1)Since the general education courses initiated in colleges and universities at 1984, what is the performance of general education in Taiwan? (2)Through a series of error and trial, how to improve the quality of general education in the future?
The purposes of this paper are to explore the performance of general education since the general education courses initiated in universities at 1984 in Taiwan and to discuss the future of general education through a series of error and trial.
Simply, from the perspectives of critique and retrospect, in this paper I discuss the development of general education from the historical aspect, describe the two origins of general education, and indicate the background and purposes of general education in Taiwan. I further discuss the contemporary implication and content of general education from the interaction of ”formal course” and ”hidden course”. The critique and retrospect for the transition of general education focuses on the following five points:
1. the transition of ideology
2. the transition of courses
3. the transition of teacher's quality
4. the transition of student's attitude
5. the transition of general education administration
