N. Postman的科技與教育觀點及其在教育上的啟示
The Technological and Educational Views of N. Postman and Their Implications in Education
摘要
本研究旨在探討Neil Postman科技與教育觀點及其在教育上的啟示。Postman主要的學說論述係源自對當時美國社會現象的觀察，並承接Munford、Ellul、Innis和McLuhan等人之科技思想，從而開展出媒體生態學學說論述。Postman此一媒體生態學觀點主要從歷史的角度來探究科技媒體之發展，並分析其對人類社會文化的影響。Postman側重探討科技媒體對社會文化以及教育之影響的負面結果，因而主張學校教育應進行改革以作為平衡文化趨勢的手段。透過對Postman科技與教育觀點之詮釋，本研究從學校教育之本質與內涵、兒童教育、我國當前科技媒體教育之課程三方面，來思考其啟示。
