摘要(中文): 本研究旨在深描一所社區高中學校轉型經驗,應用活動理論分析與詮釋組織
轉型之歷程。個案學校藉由與大學合作,組成核心小組,運用變革實驗室和活動
理論的資料驅動探索模式,回應學校轉型的變革挑戰。研究為期將近兩年,資料
蒐集方法包含訪談、參與式觀察和文件分析。研究發現可從個案學校轉型的兩種
動力來說明:一為教師社群擴增所激發的組織動能,二是促進學校轉型的展化學
習循環;兩種動能機制促發學校系統的持續轉變。個案學校轉型歷程從單點課程
的試作,到跨領域課程的設計與創新,再到「一生一課表」的提案,呈顯了組織
變革的學習循環,以及「點—線—面」的學校地景變化。在此過程中,教師經由
教學研究會和課發會的擴大參與,教師的角色不僅限於課堂內的教學事務,也擴
及學校前景發展的探討與擘劃;另一方面,個案學校在現狀與未來之間的拉扯帶
出學校變革的衝突與擾動,但也因此引發學校成員的深層對話,展開了水平式的
聯繫與學校轉型的探索歷程。學校轉型的進程揭示了集體探究循環和共享決策的
學校轉型路徑,經由集體行動所生成的集體智慧,提供了豐富的研究資料,可以
捕捉學校系統多年轉型的動態變化,進而分析和梳理變革中的複雜因素之交織和
相互影響之路徑。
摘要(英文): This study explored in length a high school transformation, using activity theory
to analyze and interpret the entire changing process. School improvement takes itself
as an “object” of organizational change. With enactment of organizational capacity and
engaging conversation, the school tackles on systemic learning and goes through an
organizational change journey. In response to the challenges of educational reform, the
high school collaborated with the university to take on the intervention study of activity
theory and Change Laboratory. The intervention study lasted for almost two years,
using methods including interview, participant observation, and documentary research.
Findings of the study can be explained by the dynamic of the school transformation:
organizational dynamic inspired by the expansion of teachers’ group and the expansive
learning cycle. Firstly, this process resulted in the practice of a particular curriculum,
then the design and innovation of interdisciplinary curriculum, and finally a proposal of
“one student, one curriculum timetable” for school transformation. The transformation
signified the changing school landscape from small parts to the whole school. Through
the entire process, most of the school teachers engaged in school future search discussion
and planning via instructional study meetings and school-based curriculum committees.
Thus, the roles of teachers are not limited to the teaching affairs in the classroom, but
the decision making of the school development. Although the teachers had to face with
the disturbances derived from the gap between status quo and future vision which aimed
for school transformation, the chasm stimulated teachers to open up deep dialogue,
lateral conversation and the inquiry regarding school improvement. The cycle of school
transformation uncovered the path of collective inquiry cycle and shared decision
making. The collective agentic action of school members somewhat displayed the
emergent of collective intelligence of the school. The process therefore provided the
length and depth of understanding regarding the dynamics and interaction of varied
forces within the process of school transformation.
