| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 商業設計研究所 === 97 === In year 2001, Taiwan’s junior high and elementary schools were joined together to complete a 9-year-run schooling system. To better prepare junior high school graduates for the upcoming high school curriculum, a general guideline has been designed since then.
In January of 2005, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education had revised another guideline for high school art textbooks. Yet, there came six eligible publishers for textbook publication. My research is primarily based on bibliographical references and curriculum analysis along with interviewing publishing experts. Furthermore, I weigh each publisher’s copy with an analytical comparison upon percentages on applied-art-related material. Thus, we can verify any differences on course design among candidates.
My paper classifies the applied-art subject into seven categories according to the applied-art dictionary and college’s design guide on applied-art textbooks while comparing the above two references to six copies from the eligible publishers. Also, I look up the National Institute of Compilation and Translation’s standard on textbook design for applied-art back in the 70s. As a result, I find that the 70s’high school art textbooks emphasize on hands-on trainings in fundamental design such chromatic study and visualization design in a primitive chapter-by-chapter fashion. In contrast, the recently published guideline focuses on architecture, interior, visualization and handcraft design rather than on the fundamental design. Yet, this new guideline approaches applied-art through students’ daily life and living environment as well as modern pop art with its applications on the markets in a various ways such as case-study.
After additional interview with publishing experts, it is known that every publisher mostly follows the guidelines from Ministry of Education and invites famous education experts to wrap up the whole book. Though the backbone is basically the same, we can conclude that the lesson design within the textbook content still draws a big difference from one publisher to another.
