臺灣教科書版本與內容單元變動對學習連貫性、家庭經濟與教育公平性的影響

The Impact of Changes in Textbook Versions and Content Units on Learning Continuity, Family Economics, and Educational Equity in Taiwan

臺灣自1996年實施教科書審定制，民間出版社依教育部課綱編寫教材並經審查通過。本研究探討教科書版本與內容單元變動對學生學習連貫性、家庭經濟負擔及教育公平性的影響，並提出政策建議。透過文獻回顧、55份問卷調查及質性訪談，研究發現頻繁變動（34.5%每學年變動）擾亂知識銜接（均值4.31），增加教師負擔（均值3.96）與家庭支出（均值3.91），尤對低收入家庭造成負擔，加劇城鄉與社經差距（均值4.09）。
108課綱實施後，變動頻率上升，違反教育公平的「共同課程」原則（Coleman, 1966），可能促成階層複製。現行審查機制缺乏明確標準，損害教育穩定性。建議制定變動規範、強化審查機制、提供經濟補助及推廣數位教材，以提升教科書品質，促進學習連貫性與教育公平。
本文的價值在於從學習連貫性、經濟負擔與公平性三面向分析，提供新視角與實證，揭示教科書管理制度的不足。現行制度缺乏明確變動標準，導致不必要更新，損害教育穩定性。建議教育部制定清晰變動標準，減少非必要更新，確保教育意義；加強審查機制與課綱規範，避免混亂；考慮學生與家庭需求，提供補助或二手書機制，減輕經濟壓力；推廣數位教材，縮小資源差距。這些措施旨在提升教科書品質，促進學習連貫性與教育公平，為教育改革提供方向。

Since 1996, Taiwan has implemented a textbook review system, allowing private publishers to develop textbooks based on the Ministry of Education’s curriculum guidelines. This study explores the impact of textbook version changes and content adjustments on learning continuity, family financial burden, and educational equity, proposing policy recommendations. Through literature review, 55 questionnaires, and qualitative interviews, the findings reveal that frequent changes (34.5% annually) disrupt knowledge continuity (mean=4.31), increase teaching burdens (mean=3.96) and family expenses (mean=3.91), particularly affecting low-income families, and exacerbating urban-rural and socioeconomic disparities (mean=4.09).
Post-2019 Curriculum Guidelines (108 Curriculum) increased change frequency, undermining the“common curriculum”principle (Coleman, 1966), potentially reinforcing social stratification. The current review system lacks clear standards, harming educational stability. Recommendations include establishing change regulations, strengthening review mechanisms, providing subsidies, and promoting digital textbooks to enhance quality, continuity, and equity.
The study’s value lies in analyzing continuity, cost, and fairness, revealing flaws such as unclear revision standards that cause unnecessary updates, and providing evidence for reform. It recommends clear revision criteria to limit changes, stronger review processes, subsidies or used-book options to ease costs, and digital textbooks to reduce disparities. These measures aim to improve quality, continuity, and equity in education.
