Royce, Richard James. "Paternalism, poverty and education : an argument for compulsory education." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1989. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10019726/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an inquiry into whether the compulsory education of children is justifiable, and it considers arguments relating to education for both the good of the individual and the good of others. I begin with a discussion of paternalism and proceed from an examination of previous attempts at formulating an acceptable understanding of it to the construction of a view which I believe overcomes the shortcomings existing accounts are seen to possess. Following this, theories purporting to justify paternalism are inspected and a start is made on the task of identifying versions of pa te rnalist action and the justifications they require. In an effort to delve closer into just what individual well-being might comprise, this task is interrupted by an investigation into the post-reflective desire-satisfaction theories of John Rawls and J. P. White, and the view of an individual's good each defends. This line of thought in turn develops into a discussion of education for the good of those other than the individual and a resolution is suggested for the problem of weighing the individual's against others' good. This part of the debate borrows from and adapts Peter Singer's argument concerning an obligation to assist those in absolute poverty. It is useful because people living in poverty make demands upon our time, energy, and resources which must be ranked against any alternative preferred use of them in other outlets, including some education. A revised argument is presented and defended and linked to the earlier debate on paternalism to furnish simultaneously an overriding condition to be met by all justifiable paternalist activity, together with a means thought to be defensible of locating some compulsory education in efforts to combat absolute poverty throughout the world.

Matheson, David J. "Post-compulsory education in Suisse romande." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1992. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3591/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis sets out to describe and discuss, to analyse and criticise post-compulsory education in the francophone part of Switzerland, or Suisse romande. A further object is to see whether this part of the oldest confederation in the world might have lessons on the educational front to offer the European Community or indeed whether there might be practices in the EC whose adaptation to Suisse romande's situation and circumstances might be beneficial. The remaining object is to propose a series of models for educational structures - autonomous, synthetic and pluralist - and to determine which model fits which part of Suisse romande's post-compulsory education. After describing the rationale behind the work, the thesis moves on to set out the historical, geographical, economic and cultural background to the area in question in order to provide a context for the main body of the discussion. This reduces the need for tangential digressions to explain particular aspects of education in Suisse romande. The main text covers post-compulsory school (with a description of the end of compulsory school), vocational training, adult education and higher education with a concluding chapter devoted to drawing together some of the threads spun in the course of the thesis. The writer found that Suisse romande in particular and Switzerland in general have much experience which the EC might do well to examine. There is, for example, the creation of national certificates in vocational training which, although of equal value throughout the country, bear the clear stamp of their Canton of origin. Autonomous structures have been brought together, in the case of schools, by negotiation between Cantonal authorities (with the encouragement of Federal government).

Dan, Jau-Wei. "Rights, children's rights and compulsory education." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1991. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3862/.
Full textAbstract:
The ideas of children's rights, children's right to education and compulsory education are widely accepted nowadays, if only in general terms. This thesis is concerned to explore and offer possible reasons for the acceptance of these ideas, and, particularly, to clarify the relation between the ideas of `lq children's right to education and `lq compulsory education. First, however, it is necessary to consider the general features of rights-talk, on the grounds that the denotations and connotations of rights-talk have some significant bearings on the central issues of the thesis. Thereafter, the emphasis is shifted to the question of children's rights. Certain writers' theories - namely, Hobbes', Mill's and Hart's - were once assumed to be contradictory to the idea of children's rights, but it is argued that these writers' theories have been misunderstood. Apart from clarifying these writers' theories in relation to children's rights, the thrust of this thesis is to offer a convincing justification for the idea of children's rights in general, and children's rights is rationally acceptable and practically necessary in maintaining satisfactory relationships between children and other parties for people who are rational, self-interested, just and benevolent. It is also argued that children's right to education is justifiable on the grounds that it is an essential good for both children and society as a whole. The issue of children's right to education is tackled within the framework of liberal democracy; hence the form of education proposed is also geared to the cultivation of persons who can play a part in a liberal democracy. The issue of compulsory education is discussed. It is argued that compulsory education can be justified and that its justification is mainly based on paternalism and children's obligation to undertake education. In the concluding chapter, it is argued that children's right to education can indeed be used to justify compulsory education, but this line of reasoning should be based on paternalism, which in turn should be rights-based. The thesis finally reaches the conclusion that the option-rights tradition and the claim that rights-talk is not self-referring should be rejected.

Full textAbstract:
Is it possible to educate for capability as a goal, not a by-product, of education? This thesis addresses this research question by presenting a model to support the implementation of a person-centred approach to teaching and learning in post-compulsory humanities education. This is based on a new methodological framework employed within the Project module in the Philosophical Studies programme at Newcastle University. Here, learners apply a project-based, context-driven approach to develop an understanding of conceptual themes set out in lectures within the context of a personal interest (the Project). The model puts the learner at the centre of the process and develops students' knowledge and understanding of course content alongside the development of individual competences; that is, a capacity for learning. The model is based on my own experience of the methodology as a learner and tutor, as well as practical research and delivery. It draws on Problem-Based Learning theory to offer a vocabulary to support dialogue between students and tutors to enhance the learning experience. The model of Project Practices seeks to bridge the gap between the personal and private with the academic and theoretical, by supporting a dual approach to learning. It may be used to enhance the delivery of the context-driven methodology and its effectiveness in supporting skills development alongside knowledge acquisition by acting as a planning and dialogue tool. It may also offer the potential to apply the object-based context driven project methodology in other educational contexts or levels where appropriate. Placed within the context of the growing literature on this subject, this thesis offers one alternative to traditional approaches to teaching and learning which is grounded in and responds to the increasingly complex nature of life and work in the twenty-first century. This model responds to the research objective by integrating a person-centred approach to teaching and learning alongside traditional delivery methods in order to educate for capability. It offers an original model to support person-centred learning alongside traditional delivery methods within Higher Education.

Potjiri, Elizabeth Tello. "Free and compulsory primary education in Lesotho : democratic or not?" Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/49968.
Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The central question of this thesis is whether free and compulsory primary education
in primary government schools of Lesotho has the potential to be thickly democratic. I
hold that the Free and Compulsory Primary Education (2000) policy is a less
democratic project because it is characterised by principles of thin democracy. My
claim is that free and compulsory primary education in Lesotho can be more
democratic if there is balance in the demand for equity of access in the FPE (2000)
project.
I hold that in order to succeed in further democratising the Free and Compulsory
Primary Education (2000) programme, the whole process, but primarily the structures
of education, should be anchored within thick democratic principles. Although
primary education is regarded to have changed, this change has been illusory or
superficial (meaning that it is still essentially the same as the colonial one), as it did
not affect the structure and value systems governing the delivery of education. The
reported conflicts that have come to the fore after independence have been mostly on
matters of strategy rather than differences in terms of the values that drive the delivery
of education in Lesotho. The focus of Lesotho's education has remained on an elitist
and outwardly looking minority. This powerful minority remains geared towards the
acquisition of a Western type of education driven by Western values. Lessons and
opportunities that could have been learnt from Sotho (pre-colonial) educational
experiences and which were regarded as democratic have been lost. I contend that a
democratically driven education system has to draw its inspiration from the principles
of thick democratic education.
An effective and transformational educational system requires the commitment of
those in political leadership as well as those in charge of education. This commitment
must include a desire to implement an education system that transforms people's
worldview qualitatively to put them at the service of their nation. I hold that the value
of education in Lesotho can be successful when it is capable of producing men and
women of the highest integrity, honesty, tolerance, responsibility and accountability. The education system should produce individuals who are hard working, patriotic,
well mannered and committed to serving their society. Education should be able to
equip each and everyone to contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation.
Finally, the teaching of thick democratic attributes must be founded on the bedrock of
a successful education system in Lesotho from the lowest classes or grades.
KEYWORDS: Free and compulsory education, democratic education, quality
education, equality in education, thick and thin democracy in Lesotho.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die belangrike vraag in hierdie tesis is of gratis en verpligte primêre onderwys in
primêre skole in Lesotho die potensiaal het om "dik" demokraties te is. Myns insiens
is die beleid van gratis en verpligte primêre onderwys (2000) 'n minder demokratiese
projek aangesien dit deur die beginsels van onvoldoende ("dun") demokrasie
gekenmerk word. Ek voer aan dat gratis en verpligte primêre onderwys in Lesotho
meer demokraties kan wees indien daar 'n balans in die vraag na gelyke toegang in
die Gratis Primêre Onderwys-projek (2000) bestaan.
Ek meen verder dat die hele proses, maar hoofsaaklik die onderwysstrukture, in
demokratiese beginsels veranker behoort te wees ten einde die verdemokratisering
van die program vir gratis en verpligte primêre onderwys (2000) suksesvol deur te
voer. Alhoewel daar gereken word dat primêre onderwys verander het, was hierdie
verandering denkbeeldig of oppervlakkig (waarmee bedoel word dat dit steeds
wesenlik dieselfde is as die koloniale onderwysstelsel), aangesien dit nie 'n invloed
gehad het op die struktuur en waardestelsel wat die lewering van onderwys beheer
nie. Die konflikte wat aangemeld is ná onafhanklikwording het meestal te make gehad
met kwessies ten opsigte van strategie eerder as verskille met betrekking tot die
waardes wat die lewering van onderwys in Lesotho beheer. Die fokus op onderwys in
Lesotho het gerig gebly op 'n elitistiese en uitwaartse invloedryke minderheid wat
ingeskakel het by die verwerwing van 'n Westerse soort onderwys wat deur Westerse
waardes gedryf word. Lesse en geleenthede wat uit prekoloniale Sothoonderwyservaringe
geleer kon word en wat as demokraties beskou kon word, het
verlore gegaan. Myns insiens moet 'n demokraties-gedrewe onderwysstelsel sy
inspirasie uit die beginsels van demokratiese onderwys kan put.
'n Doeltreffende en transformasionele onderwysstelsel vereis die verbintenis van
diegene aan die roer van sake ten opsigte van leierskap in die gemeenskap sowel as
diegene in beheer van onderwys. Hierdie verbintenis moet getemper word deur 'n
behoefte aan die implementering van onderwys wat mense se wêreldbeskouing op
kwalitatiewe wyse transformeer ten einde hulle in diens te stel van hulle nasie en die
mense. Die waarde van onderwys in Lesotho kan slegs gesien word wanneer dit in
staat is om mans en vroue van die hoogste integriteit, eerlikheid, verdraagsaamheid, verantwoordelikheid en aanspreeklikheid te lewer - hardwerkende, patriotiese,
goedgemanierde mense wat daaraan toegewy is om hulle samelewing te dien.
Onderwys behoort in staat te wees om 'n ieder en 'n elk toe te rus om op
betekenisvolle wyse tot die ontwikkeling van die nasie by te dra. Laastens, die
onderrig van "dik" demokratiese eienskappe moet gebou word op die basis van 'n
suksesvolle onderwysstelsel in Lesotho vanaf die laagste klasse of grade.
SLEUTELWOORDE: Gratis en verpligte onderwys, demokratiese onderwys,
kwaliteit onderwys, gelyke onderwys, "dik" en "dun" demokrasie in Lesotho.

Full textAbstract:
Educational achievement is of major societal interest and is crucial to students themselves, as academic achievement during compulsory education propels young individuals to different life-long trajectories. Research has shown that individual differences in educational achievement are to a substantial extent (around 60%) explained by inherited differences in children’s DNA sequence. However, most of the research to date has focused on reading and mathematics achievement during primary school education. Much less is known about the genetic and environmental underpinnings of educational achievement in secondary school across the various subjects children study. Furthermore, even less is known about educational achievement after compulsory education. It is imperative to understand why individuals differ so widely in educational achievement, to understand the causes and correlates of scholastic achievement and to inform evidence-based educational policy. The current project seeks to increase understanding of the aetiology of individual differences in educational achievement at the end of compulsory schooling and beyond. This thesis explores the genetic and environmental underpinnings of educational achievement in the UK, focusing on achievement at the end of compulsory education, and educational attainment in Estonia. I use data from the UK representative Twins Early Development Study (TEDS), and the Estonia representative adult sample from the Estonian Genome Centre University of Tartu (EGCUT), to investigate the following: the aetiology of educational attainment during the Soviet occupation and post Soviet era in Estonia (Chapter 2); the relationship between first and second language achievement, and general cognitive ability (Chapter 3); the proportion of heritability of educational achievement that can be explained by cognitive and non-cognitive factors at age 16 (Chapter 4); the prediction of exam results from personality (Chapter 5); and the aetiology of subject choice after compulsory education, and achievement in these chosen subjects at age 18 (Chapter 6). The thesis provides evidence that i) genetic factors explain a larger proportion of educational attainment in a more meritocratic society, where selection to educational and occupational positions is based more on merit and ability than environmentally-driven privilege; ii) educational achievement in second language learning is highly heritable and this high heritability is only partly explained by first language achievement and intelligence; iii) the high heritability of academic achievement is explained by non-cognitive as well as cognitive factors; iv) the popular concept of Grit (perseverance and passion for long-term goals) adds little to the prediction of exam performance beyond the ‘Big Five’ personality factors; v) genetics affects both aptitude (cognitive ability) and appetite (subject choice) for learning. I conclude the thesis with a discussion about implications of the work and suggestions for future directions (Chapter 7).

Full textAbstract:
The thesis addresses the paradigm shift of education governance in China through a study of the policymaking process of two legislation episodes in China: the 1986 Compulsory Education Law and the 2006 Compulsory Education Law Amendment. The research started with two broad initial research questions: how was the Compulsory Education Law made and amended? Why was the Law made and amended? Using ethnographic interviews and documentary analysis as the main research methods, more specific questions on the 1986 and 2006 legislation were later delved into as the research evolved in depth: What were the driving forces behind the 1986 and 2006 legislation? What values of compulsory education were assumed in the central decisions of the 1986 and 2006 legislation? What was the institutional rationale underpinning the 1986 and 2006 legislation?
The data was collected through ethnographic interview with some forty informants involved in the policymaking process. The research findings were analyzed and presented on three levels. First, the findings were presented on the basis of narration analysis. Second, the policymaking process of the legislation was analyzed from three paradigms: agenda-setting, decision-making and organizational behavior. Finally, by examining the results of the previous stages of analysis and further comparing the two cases, the research arrived at a theoretical framework for education governance that embraces three essential elements: political ideology, perceived value of education, and institutional rationale.
The analysis of the two legislation episodes identified that the political ideology, which shifted from efficiency-oriented economic well-being to equity-oriented social cohesion, steered the agenda-setting of the compulsory education legislation. The perceived value of education reflects the role that education plays in development, changing from economic value to social value. The institutional rationale essentially determines strategies by which compulsory education materializes, with a variance from governing by goal and mobilization to governing by accountability and regulation. In conclusion, education governance in China witnessed a paradigm shift from “economic instrumentalism” toward “social rationalism” over the twenty-year period from the mid-1980s to 2006.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Education<br>Doctoral<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
Labour force in the art sector is characterised by high qualification, but low income for those people who perform the core contribution in art, i.e. the artists. As artists are typically self-dependent in managing their business, they should have managerial skills besides those skills necessary to perform their artistic core activities. If the lack of managerial skills is a reason why artists fail to make a living from their talent, then this chain of cause and effect could be ruptured by adequate educational opportunities. This paper analyses the curricula of a wide range of institutions offering art education programmes and identifies their managerial learning content. In doing so, we focused on German-speaking countries, the so-called DACH region (i.e. Germany, Austria and Switzerland, whereas D, A and CH are country codes). We identified and analysed 159 course syllabi of 81 art universities, schools and academies. The results of our study indicate a lack of managerial learning contents: a vast majority of institutions follow a rather traditional approach to art education, focusing solely on artistic competences. We suggest the implementation of managerial learning contents to better prepare art students for successful careers in the arts.

The review of the literature of perceptual demographic variables of adult attainment: age, prior education, subordinate responsibility, child-age dependent care, marital status, job stability, and home ownership. The analysis compares the data of participants and non-participants of non-compulsory adult education using binomial logistic regression analysis with tests, for a 95% confidence level and .05 significance. Included is a discussion of how appropriately aligned development opportunities and experiences may further increase education effectiveness and performance outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Further Education (FE) is almost a new venture on the Maltese Islands particularly for UK NVQ Levels 1 and 2. In 2001 the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST)introduced the Foundation Certificate: A Further Education (FE) access course without entry requirements. Drawing mainly on the study by Ball, Maguire and Macrae (2000), Bourdieu’s habitus and structure (1977; 1990; 1993) as well as Evans’ bounded agency (2002; 2007) and Evans and Heinz’s (1993: 1994) transition types, this thesis explores the transitory experience of eight female students from Compulsory to Further Education. Between 2007 and 2010 these students narrated their experiences prior to entry at MCAST, as students on the MCAST campus, during their work placements as well as on their workplace. Findings indicate that FE and work were chosen by elimination of the academic path even though it seems that school did not prepare the participants for these routes. The MCASTBTEC formative assessment system was deemed harder to get used to but fairer than the exam-based system. At MCAST students felt free to make their own choices and were treated as adults. Work placement experience for students seems to influence course choice. Full-time workers ex-students) indicated that they were given a lot of training, and that work was an alternative learning environment. This was important to retain their job and to further their studies. This thesis identifies three transition trajectories as well as a model for understanding the self in transition to FE within the Maltese context by identifying theories which are adaptable to this particular scenario. It also provides key learnings for policy makers and practitioners within the Maltese educational context. These include the exposure of students to MCAST, in-service training for subject and guidance teachers at service in secondary schools and guidelines for standardized induction as well as monitoring programmes aimed at increasing student retention. These strategies would ease the transition period making both MCAST and secondary schools more inclusive learning environments.

Full textAbstract:
During a period of unprecedented rapid urbanisation and social transformation in China, this thesis considers the children of internal rural migrants and their access to compulsory education in the regions where they settle. There are currently 38 million such children. Institutional and systemic challenges often bar them from receiving an education of adequate quality, equal to that of their peers. The thesis reviews the legal and regulatory framework covering childrens’ right to education at both international and national domestic levels. It then describes the actual experience of internal migrant children attempting to access schools, and analyses the main factors barring them from the education they are entitled to. These barriers are categorised in a ‘4-A’ conceptual framework – Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, Adaptability. The research draws on a range of secondary data, supplemented by interviews conducted with personnel engaged in education in Beijing. The main findings are that, though the legal framework of rights is generally sufficient, inadequate institutional and normative arrangements and lack of government accountability (at all levels) work together to hinder proper implementation of relevant laws and regulations. The problem is exacerbated by the institutional barrier of hukou-based enrolment and registration, and deepened even further by the current cadre and local governance arrangements, with the information asymmetry they engender. The thesis concludes that, at central, provincial and municipal levels, adequate funding for the education of migrant children must be assured, especially in the dense receiving regions. A new enrolment system is required based on a child’s current place of residence. Finally, a reform of the current civil service and cadre management systems is needed, with a move away from current growth-oriented development strategies that impose policy burdens and subordinate the children’s good to the pursuit of economic targets.

Wootton, Sally Anne. "An inductive inquiry into managing tutorial provision in post-compulsory education." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2007. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/20569/.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores aspects affecting the management of tutorial provision in post-compulsory education. The inquiry has been designed to inductively explore tutorial provision using grounded theory methodology. The research participants were either students or tutors in post-compulsory education, as they were in a position to contribute their personal experiences and perceptions in relation to the research phenomena. Three aspects of tutorial provision were explored during this study. Firstly, the nature and purpose of tutorial provision was explored to ascertain the participants' perceptions of tutorial needs and expectations. The rationale for this was to address the low profile tutorial provision suffers at national and institutional levels across the sector, and because the confusing range of definitions imply a need for the objectives of tutorial provision to be more clearly articulated. Secondly, the personal tutoring role was explored in order to understand what students' and tutors' perceived the key aspects of the role to be, and to understand the value placed upon it by the students, the tutors and the institution. The rationale behind this aspect was to address the lack of confidence and commitment many tutors demonstrate when undertaking the role, due in part, to arbitrary recruitment and insufficient personal tutor training. Finally, a third aspect emerged during the inductive inquiry, which led to the exploration of feelings and emotions at play within the tutoring relationship. From this research, three contributions to knowledge have emerged. Firstly, a 'Heuristic Framework for Tutorial Provision' contributes to clarifying the nature and purpose of tutorial provision, whilst acknowledging its complexity and the need for flexible and differentiated provision. Secondly, an 'Archetype of the Personal Tutoring Role' acknowledges the various 'Functions' tutors believe they are undertaking as personal tutors, the attitudes that underpin their view of the personal tutoring role, and a description of tutors' skills, knowledge and personality the participants deem necessary to develop a successful tutoring relationship. Finally, a Theoretical Model of Tutoring Styles' has been developed, based on the inquiry's emergent themes in relation to the tutoring relationship. The model is presented as a tool to enable tutors to understand the impact of their tutoring practice by exploring their ideology of teaching and style of interaction.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This multi-modal dissertation examines the historical hegemonic making of U.S. education, and how compulsory schooling has framed acceptable notions of culture, language/literacy, and knowledge production. Through this criticism of colonization and education, theoretical and practical alternatives are explored for the opportunities outside mainstream schooling in the US. In examining the literary work on decolonizing education, these efforts can engage in unlearning of coloniality by finding examples from a time before colonization. In contemporary society, the practice of de/unschooling can hold the possibilities for decolonizing education. To demonstrate how families of color in the U.S. engage with unschooling, interview questions serve as the sharing of knowledge and experience so as to ground the research in lived reality. A brief survey of critical education and critical pedagogy broadens those already critical of schools and/or receptive to the criticism of schools and the un/deschooling alternative then places student and family/community as the center of learning and teaching.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks insight into the use of visual aids in contemporary post-compulsory teaching. The importance of the study is linked to the large number of students who enter Higher Education; many of whom regularly receive lectures supported by visual displays which comprise textual summaries of a lecturerâs speech. This thesis comprises a two-part study and employs a mixed methods approach. The first part inquires into teachersâ and lecturersâ practice with regard to their visual aids, and the second compares the effectiveness of text, images and imagery displayed in support of a lecture. The investigation into lecturersâ practice found many post-compulsory teachers and lecturers had received no training in the design and use of visual aids during their initial teacher training. It is suggested this privation may underpin a de facto choice of projected text as a visual aid, the use of which is not clearly supported by contemporary models of memory and mental processing. In a comparison of visual modalities, an increase in learner engagement was recorded for the display of carefully designed images, and also for directed imagery. No positive impact was recorded for text summaries of 50-64 words displayed concurrently with speech, although recall was improved when text was restricted to five words or fewer. The conclusion is drawn that the display of this modality without temporal pauses may offer limited educational advantage to students, and a method of planned apportionment of speech and text is proposed in which contemporary theories of memory and processing are taken into account. These observations have significant implications for a lecture environment in which such text summaries are often relied upon for visual support. The findings of the thesis are combined to propose a principle of Visual Working Memory Utilisation (VWMU), upon which future research into visual aid design and use in post compulsory education might be based.

Dyke, Martin. "Reflective learning and reflexive modernity as theory practice and research in post-compulsory education." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2001. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2732/.
Full textAbstract:
To what extent does reflective learning in education meet the needs of learners in a reflexive modern society? The thesis constructs a late-modern case for reflective learning in post-compulsory education. It is argued that reflective learning connects with a key concept in contemporary social theory - that of reflexivity. The arguments are developed through the following key questions. • To what extent does reflective learning in post compulsory education correspond with the needs of learners in late-modernity? • What are the key characteristics of late-modernity? • Can the application of reflective learning by practitioners improve student learning in post-compulsory education? • What are the conclusions for teaching and learning in post-compulsory education that flow from this analysis of social theory and educational practice? Enlightenment and contemporary modernity is explored through a review of literature on social theory and philosophy. The second part of the thesis is concerned with praxis the testing of theory in action. Case studies in action research are used to examine how teachers seek to promote reflective learning in their practice. This exploration of theory and practice is then used to present the overall conclusions and make recommendations for future action. In many ways this thesis revisits the territory and thinking of John Dewey, It seeks to connect educational praxis to the wider social context, but from a late-modern perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to write a comprehensive historical analysis of compulsory education in the United States from its inception in the colonies through 1984. The study attempts to analyze the elements of the origin, developments, and trends. The majority of the primary sources of this historical study were literary and were taken from numerous sources including United States Supreme Court decisions, congressional legislation, opinions of the Attorney Generals of the United States and various states. Some of the major conclusions derived from this study were as follows: (1) There had been numerous laws passed to put the issue of compulsory education on a national scale. (2) The courts became more involved and influential in the interpretation of compulsory education laws. (3) Wars and depressions had not had significant effect on compulsory education. (4) Compulsory education laws were used as a means of providing social, economic, and political freedom. (5) The promise of compulsory education to narrow the gap between the poor and wealthy was rarely achieved. Public education did not always afford equal opportunity. For example, per capita expenditures on public education vary from state to state and county to county. Some of the major recommendations as a result of this study included: (1) The role of the Federal government in public education should be limited. (2) Courts should act in an advisory capacity to constantly review and revise laws relative to education. The role of the courts should be watched carefully so they will not interfere with state laws. Some of the major findings as a result of this study include: (1) The desire for political freedom had been one of the leading, if not the original motivation, for compulsory education. (2) The 1954 case (Brown v. Board of Education) revealed that compulsory education must be carried out in an atmosphere of equality for all races. (3) Court decisions such as the Pierce Case which upheld dual school systems and the Brown Case which promoted the principle that separate does not mean equal upheld some aspects of the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>美術學系<br>101<br>If we consider which areas may be improved in general art education in the current model for compulsory education in Taiwan, it is crucial to find appropriate areas from which we can begin to look for the key elements of improvement and from which will we find improvement strategies that are concrete, actionable, and that reach educational objectives. The objective of this study is aimed at this very problem.
In 1998, the Ministry of Education (MoE) published the “General Guidelines of Grade 1-9 Curriculum of Elementary and Junior High School Education”, which integrated music, visual arts, and performance arts into one academic area—“Arts and Humanities.” Many scholars believed that this new set of guidelines was an important milestone in the development of compulsory education in Taiwan. It was also a crucial point where Taiwan’s compulsory education took on a new form. Furthermore, it was a paradigm shift in the core value and meaning of education.
I just happened to be serving at the MoE affiliated National Taiwan Arts Education Center at this crucial point in time, where there was much discussion and research over a range of fields concerning the results of the important changes to the educational system. During this period I participated in the 2002 study on compulsory education in the arts for grades 1 to 9 performed by the National Hualien University of Education, regional public hearings and reviews at the 2005 National Arts Education Conference, and the MoE art-policy specialist advisory conferences held at the “Taiwan Art Education Association” from 2009 to 2012. In the process of these meetings, there were several topics worth discussing and researching in regard to Taiwan’s general art education model, to list a few of them generally: regulations, systems, administrative-level issues, educators, curriculum, and educational facilities and resources. There were even suggestions to begin new discussions of the objectives to be set in art education.
Based in a practicable framework and set of objectives, this research paper will sift through each important element concerning policy management blueprints from the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission’s “Taiwan 2010”; I will use these elements as an important point of reference while surveying and assessing the issues I raised above. I will also provide important reference structures, comparative theories, and feasible theories for counter strategies.
Some of the focal areas of this thesis will be centered on the objectives set for national art education, and much of my argument will use theories describing arts appreciation events. I will especially stress the close relationship between aesthetic experiences and the basic concepts in the compulsory education curriculum in shaping the artistic interests of the public, realizing their creative potential, and fostering individual growth. Arts appreciation events have a specific history, are meaningful because of the people participating in them, and have internal and external elements that influence each other, thus they are rich cultural experiences and are full of variety, in turn these events:
I. Sculpt an interest in the arts in addition to immediate aesthetic pleasure;
II. Reach deep into the thoughts of the entire world and bring out creative potential;
III. Influence life in a very real way since art appreciation is a representation of the entire character of the individual.
Art appreciation not only satisfies the three educational standards as according to the British philosopher R.S. Peters—“worthwhileness,” “cognitiveness,” and “voluntariness,” it can also reach the ultimate objective of the basic concepts of the compulsory education curriculum, namely the full development of the individual. From this basis, I will then look at each influential regulation and improvement strategy in art education practice and raise my own suggestions.

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>臺灣研究英語碩士學程<br>97<br>The purposes of this master thesis “The Study of 12-Year Compulsory Education in Taiwan” are to retrospect Taiwan’s education systems, to study the detail measures about 12-year compulsory education policy and to explore compulsory education systems in advanced countries such as the United States, Finland, Japan and Germany and see if we are able to imitate the merits to apply to our education system. The paper also attempts to observe the possible impacts on the society and to evaluate how to carry out the policy that really improves our nation’s competitiveness. Furthermore, through the observation, hope to offer some suggestions to the related authority.The study finds that there are several problems existing in the present systems, chief of which are the gap between city and rural, uneven education qualities, uneven distribution of resources and excessive pressure from seeking further education. To solve these problems, it is necessary to lengthen the compulsory education in Taiwan. Based on the study, we acquire the knowledge about complete education system in Finland, the effective education reform in the United States, the sophisticated vocational system in Germany and the holistic-person education ideas in Japan. Meanwhile, the 12-year compulsory education policy is processing according to the plan step by step in Taiwan now.While implementing the policy, now there are many measures are on the way. The authority announced that by 2018, almost 90% of the policy will be performed. According to my study, the abundant budget for the education policy is an important promise and the legal education law is convincible for the nations. Besides, the government should shorten the years implementing policy. Also, I suggest the government should establish teachers’ life-long training system and cautiously plan the elite system in secondary school.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>法律學系<br>101<br>In political, social, economic, and even educational sphere, indigenous peoples have been in comparative inferior status due to the colonial governance. The Education Act for Indigenous Peoples had been enacted on 17th, June of 1998, but the substantive equality in educational environments for indigenous peoples could be ensured or not is still uncertain. In fact, examining the related compulsory-education regulations, we can see that the mainstream culture still dominates the design of school systems and the contents of education, that there is a lack of consideration of the cultural differences of Austronesian. The school education lacking of consideration toward cultural differences might lead to the collapse of indigenous peoples’ culture and the obstruction of the formation of indigenous peoples’ character. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider whether the existing educational system is suitable for indigenous peoples’ children or not. To solve the problem, we must construct the picture of education for indigenous peoples under the Constitution. First, to draw the picture of education for indigenous peoples, this essay starts with principles of the Constitution - the principle of democratic state; the principle of rule of law; the principle of social state; the principle of pluralistic culture. Second, compared to the national obligation to build up educational environment for indigenous peoples, whether they have corresponsive fundamental right? For that matter, which one is the basis of fundamental rights for indigenous peoples’ education, the academic freedom of Article 11 of the Constitution, the freedom of religion of Article 13 of the Constitution, the fundamental right of education of Article 21 of the Constitution, or the general fundamental rights of Article 22 of the Constitution? This study tries to find out the basis of fundamental rights for indigenous peoples’ education through the legal dogmatics. Last, this study tries to review the indigenous education in the compulsory education with the fundamental rights for indigenous peoples’ education. In fact, the protection of indigenous peoples’ education under the Constitutional law is not merely norms, but, most importantly, should be implemented in schools. In promoting the education of indigenous people under compulsory-education system, we should always bear in mind that helping them achieve self-actualization is the first priority. In addition, while we reconsider the current educational system, we should also avoid creating a pro-mainstream culture system, that would confine the development of their self-actualization.
