摘要

公民資質的良窳乃攸關民主制度穩固的關鍵，尤其台灣地區正值邁向民主社會之際，其公民尚存自由開放但自律不足、爭取權益但過於功利、追求民主但法治不彰、享受富裕但缺乏禮節、多元尊重但認同分歧、價值多元卻流於真空、民間力量興起但易過熱等特點，故形塑當代社會的理想公民資質，並進而建構公民社會實乃重要課題。基此，本研究乃以台灣地區為對象，藉理論探討、焦點座談及德懷術等研究方法，探討並建構理想的公民資質，在理想公民特質方面，共計三十三項，分為「人與己」、「人與人」、「人與社會」、「人與國家」、「人與世界」及「人與生態」等六個主軸；在公民資質內涵方面，乃以「公民知識」、「公民德行」及「公民參與能力」三者為其重要層面。此套理想公民資質的特色分別呈現了多重角色的公民特質、認知情感行動兼顧的公民內涵、普世價值與儒家價值並融的公民資質觀、一般與專業公民德行兼重的公民資質觀、本土觀與世界觀兼具的公民資質觀，以及意識型態淡化與多元民主的公民資質觀。關於理想公民特質的建構，可作為公民教育目標訂定的參考，而理想公民資質內涵的建構，亦可作為公民教育內容的依據，故願藉此成為台灣地區邁向成熟公民社會願景的努力標竿。
