理想與現實之間：台灣社區大學的社會分析

Abstract

台灣的社區大學是個特殊的教育體制，自1998年籌組推動以來，至今全台已有八十餘所社大。社大倡議者與相關研究者常將社大理念視為現實，佐以社大數量的增長，視為台灣公民社會的茁壯。本研究透過歷史考察，指出社區大學與社區發展政策的親近性。社大自身內隱的路線差異，隨著政治氛圍的藍綠對峙而激化矛盾，社區大學漸顯其保守性格的一面。本文期望藉此反思社區大學的理念宣稱與自我發展，並提供其相關研究的另一種視角。

Taiwan Community University (CU) is a unique educational system. Since its initiation in 1998, there are already more than 80 CUs in Taiwan. The advocators and the related researchers of the CU often see this ideal as reality and see the growth of the number of universities as the strengthening of the civil society in Taiwan. This research points out, through historical investigations, the closeness of CUs and the community development policies. Although the different paths of the CUs seem concealed, but with the political opposition of the Pan-Green and Pan-Blue coalitions becoming more extreme and contradicting, the CUs gradually displays its conservative side. This thesis hopes to rethink the ideal and the self-growth of the CUs, and to provide a different lens for the related researches.
