Textbook Research in Taiwan for Half a Century:Background,Overview and Trend

此研究探究台湾55年来（1956--2010）与教科书有关的博硕士论文1 263篇,整理其社会背景、研究概况与趋势,期藉此建立教科书研究发展史的基本资料,并寻找对教科书理论与实务有意义的启示。发现1990年代后期起的教科书研究蓬勃发展,与教育主管部门对教科书采取松绑政策有密切关联。这波教改的特征有四：（1）政治自由化在前,教育自由化在后,教科书编审选用的自由度大增;（2）改革推动力量来自教育界内外、学界与民间,包括许多与教科书研究相关的新设机构/学会/期刊/奖项;（3）课程改革是这波教育改革的核心,教科书编审选用受到关注;（4）教育主管部门负责人更换频繁,不利改革成效,教科书的许多争议点成为研究焦点。自1984年起台湾教科书研究可谓迈入专业化阶段,因与过去相较,这类论文所采方法更严谨、有系统──清晰说明分析架构与类目、信效度等,以达科学研究的要求。而1999年起教科书相关论文大量涌现,缘由有三：（1）教科书自由化政策;（2）研究法引介;（3）学界新力量共同推动。此外,此研究梳理了55年来的研究趋势,分由学习领域、学制阶段、研究主题、研究方法等面向说明1。
