Phillip Brown對家長主義教育觀的省察及對臺灣十二年國教的借鑑

Abstract

本研究檢視政府推動十二年國教之教育理念、政策及教育現狀落差時，發現近年臺灣的教改困境，與英國學者Phillip Brown所關注的家長主義（parentocracy）教育現象相仿，因此試圖藉由探討Brown對家長主義教育觀衝擊教育體系之省察，反思十二年國教下臺灣之教育機會均等的發展困境。本研究回顧Brown所謂家長主義教育觀在英國的形成背景、梳理Brown對家長主義教育觀的理解與反思歷程、探討Brown回應家長主義的「理想教育觀」及其思想淵源。並藉由Brown對家長主義教育觀之反思論點，解析十二年國教下臺灣之教育機會均等的發展困境與家長主義教育觀之關聯，並提出具體的改革建議。The study aims to explore the disparities between the educational ideologies, policies, and current educational status in Taiwan's implementation of the 12-year National Basic Education program. It has been observed that Taiwan's recent educational reform dilemmas bear semblance to the educational phenomenon of "parentocracy" highlighted by British scholar Phillip Brown. Consequently, this study attempts to scrutinize Brown's reflections on the impact of parentocracy on the education system, thereby reflecting on the developmental challenges faced by Taiwan in achieving equality of educational opportunity within the framework of the 12-year National Basic Education.This study delves into the contextual backdrop of parentocracy as articulated by Brown within the British context. It aims to dissect Brown's comprehension and reflective journey regarding parentocracy, exploring his envisioned educational perspective and its ideological origins. Furthermore, through Brown's critical viewpoints on parentocracy, the study seeks to investigate the interconnectedness between Taiwan's challenges in fostering equality of educational opportunity within the 12-year National Basic Education system and the concept of parentocracy. Ultimately, the research endeavors to propose specific reform recommendationsin light of these findings.
