後現代與全球化的知識課題及其在大學課程發展上的蘊義

The Knowledge Task of Post-modern Era and Globalization and its Implication on the Development of the Undergraduate Curriculum

本文旨在了解全球化與後現代知識處境下新的知識課題，及其在大學課程發展上的蘊義。在理念建構方面，本文從後現代知識論與研究典範的觀點出發，指出未來社會的知識特性及大學課程上的因應－跨越學科疆界，並以通識教育為主軸的可行性如述：一、全球化思潮中關於知識的論述，宜走向「統整型符碼」的趨勢；二、就知識經濟的觀點，科際整合的知識與通識教育才是二十一世紀競爭力之關鍵；三、從後現代科學典範轉移及課程理念分析，科際整合的課程與學術研究興起；四、大學內可推動各種知識上科際整合的措施，以利大學生培養科際整合學習之能力。在實施建議方面，本文也析論近年來大學課程改革中科際整合的相關實踐，以做為未來大學課程改革、提升大學生通觀知識及全人素養之參考。
