校本課程評鑑之真義：從關懷教師作為課程發展者的觀點出發

The Essence of School-based Curriculum Evaluation: From the Perspective of Caring about Teachers as Curriculum Developers

學理上，課程評鑑是串起課程發展、設計與實施整個過程的那條主軸；實際上，部分學校現場可能視其為課程實施後再額外進行的龐雜工作。本文從「課程評鑑如課程發展」、「教師作為課程發展者」的觀點，分享我們透過多場工作坊與高中教師協作設計校本課程評鑑的工具，之後我們多次與教師互動發現，課程評鑑能幫忙學校教師的課程發展定位與定向，教師們能成為課程評鑑的主動參與者與受益者，進而豐富並提升教師專業發展與學生學習。文中探討問題包括：課程評鑑實施如何幫助教師們進行課程對話？教師們如何考慮脈絡來共構精進？課程評鑑的設計若提供教師們原則與方針，也提供教師選擇的空間，將能激發彼此從學生學習角度出發的課程對話，進行課程調整或尋找資源支持等行動，讓學校教育更好。

In theory, curriculum evaluation is integral to the entire process of curriculum development, design, and implementation; however, in reality, some educators perceive it as extra work to be done after implementing a curriculum in a school. This article, based on the perspectives of “curriculum evaluation is like curriculum development” and “teachers are curriculum developers,” is intended to share our reflection of hosting workshops in which we co-designed curriculum evaluation tools with high-school teachers. Our findings, based on the interviews with the teachers in several events, show that (1) curriculum evaluation may help teachers situate themselves, with respect to progress made and necessary work to be done, in the process of curriculum development; (2) teachers may be active participants in curriculum evaluation, deriving benefit therefrom; and (3) curriculum evaluation can serve to enrich and enhance teachers’ professional development and student learning. In this article, we address two questions: How might curriculum evaluation help teachers structure conversations about curriculum? How might teachers construct knowledge and collectively improve curriculum given the unique contexts in which they teach? If some principles and guidelines of curriculum evaluation design can be offered to teachers, with some space left for professional decisions making by teachers, they may engage in valuable actions, such as engaging in conversations with other teachers from a student learning perspective, making changes to curricula, and searching for supportive resources, all of which will ultimately result in better education.
