有關台灣教育改革的新書 2012/7/3

有鑑於國內學術界在論文指標的政策引導下，

國際上的台灣專書出版無論在數量或品質上都日漸萎縮。

五年前哈佛大學燕京學社圖書館華人館員親口向作者反映此事，

希望台灣的學術社群可以繼續寫與台灣有關的專書 發揮國際影響力。

因此，作者等不揣淺陋，花了近三年的時間，完成以下作品，向您推薦。

Taiwan Education at the Crossroad examines the processes of schooling in Taiwan amidst the social, cultural, economic, and political conflicts resulting from local and global dilemmas and issues. The book opens with an introductory chapter detailing the recent world-wide phenomenon in education, i.e. globalization and localization, followed by parts one through five to showcase the different perspectives of Taiwan's education. Collectively these sections offer a panoramic and in-depth glimpse from the past to the future of educational trends in Taiwan, and the ongoing educational exchanges with China and the world.

(書中除了廣泛探討全球化與本土趨勢下的台灣教育改革外，

也特別發展出一個試圖超越全球與本土的 「兩岸化」概念模式 (cross-straitization)，希望能為衝突地區 (如：南北韓 、以阿、東西德， 甚至美、日等) 的文教與學術交流，提出海峽兩岸的特殊模式與經驗。書中並包含最近台灣的學術界SSCI爭議，與招收國際學生及陸生等政策討論。本書是作者花了將近三年才完成的新作，歡迎批評指教)
