新竹縣中小學參與學習共同體試辦計畫之研究──以國中小各一所學校為例

The Study of Promoting Learning Community Pilot Program in Hsinchu Count

日本佐藤學教授推動「學習共同體」的教育理念，在近年來受到東亞和歐美許多國家的重視，在臺灣也已經成為教育領域研究的一門顯學，究其原因有二：其一，「學習共同體」之「同時追求品質（quality）與平等（equality）」是教育根本原理的改革理念，符應21世紀社會及公民的需求；其二，「學習共同體」主張保障每一個孩子學習權的教育精神，符合十二年國民基本教育當中所倡導的有教無類、因材施教、適性揚才及成就每一個孩子之教育理念。「他山之石，可以攻錯」，當前臺灣教育正面臨重大變革，許多學者專家亦期盼「學習共同體」能成為改善現況的良方，而新竹縣也趕上這班教育改革列車，自102學年度起推動「班級課室觀察及學習共同體」的教育研究試辦計畫，本研究旨在探討新竹縣中小學參與試辦學習共同體的現況歷程、實施成效、問題和改進建議。

The educational concept of ''learning community'' proposed by Prof. Sato Manabu has not only gained overwhelming attention in the Ease Asia, Europe, and US, but also become a noted subject in the field of education in Taiwan. The underlying reasons for its popularity are: First, “the simultaneous pursuit of quality and equality” in “learning community” is the fundamental reformation concept in education, conforming to the needs that 21st-century societies and citizens have. Second, “learning community” claims the guarantee of the right to learn for each child, meeting the education philosophies proposed by the 12-year Basic Education (i.e., education for all, education tailored to the individual, education to cultivate an understanding of one's self and the job market, and education to reach achievement). As the proverb goes, “An advice from others may help one's defects”. The current education in Taiwan has been experiencing major transformation and many scholars have been expecting “learning community” to be an effective strategy for improving the current educational condition. Keeping up with the educational transformation, Hsinchu County has promoted the preliminary research entitled as “Classroom observation and learning community” since the 2013 Academic Year. The current study aimed to investigate the status quo, problems and implementation effectiveness faced by elementary and secondary schools in Hsinchu County while participating in the preliminary plan of “learning community”.
