校園符號與社會變遷關係之研究

The Study of the Relationships between School Symbols and Social Changes

人類的社會似乎是一個充滿符號的世界，也可謂是各類「符號互動」的綜合展現。自有人類以來，「符號」即逐漸廣泛被應用於生活各面向，其中「符號」與語言文字、藝術、政治、文學、傳播媒體等相關領域之深入研究頗多；而「符號」與「教育」相關議題雖亦曾有人觸及，但於「校園符號」層面，卻仍乏人深究。歷經研究者以小學為樣本，築基於「符號學」相關理論為基礎，透由「質的研究」，發現「學校基本符號」與「社會變遷」間具有密切關係；本研究最後並配合結論提出合理性建議，冀期於「實務層面」能妥善靈活、巧妙應用符號於學校教育，以直接間接、有形無形提昇學校教育效能；且期同步於「理論層面」能為未來「教育符號學」之可能性奠基。

The human society seems to be regarded as a “symbolic world.” The social phenomena should be seen as the interactions of various kinds of symbols. It seems to be viewed as symbolic interactions for the educational processes in the school. After using theoretical insights drawn from semiology to examine the school symbols in primary school by means of “qualitative research method”. Many close relationships between school symbols and social changes are found. Finally some possible directions to enhance the educational effects of school in “practical areas” and to build the bases of “semiology of education” in “theoretical fields” are also recommended besides the conclusions.
