碩士 / 淡江大學 / 教育政策與領導研究所碩士在職專班 / 101 / Abstract:
Among them all, textbook reform policy has the greatest influence and prevalence. To compare with the policies which are accepted passively by the populace such as the policy of national education and the system of entrance examinations. ‘Textbook’ itself somehow contains the options due to the students and parents literally. Furthermore, it is connected with some operation situations of the publishing companies. All of these make the subject of textbook reform policy much more complicated. And that’s what makes me the author do this research.
This research analyzes the laws, the personnel, the organization, the procedure, and the criteria of the process of selecting the textbook based on the segment of editing, examining, selecting, implementing, and evaluating in the textbook reform policy. Based on the reason that both Taiwan and China are now practicing Grade 1-9 education, and both have similarities in the cultural background and geopolitics, thus I decided to choose the selected system of the textbook in junior high school between Taiwan and China as my topic of the research. Also, I set China as the comparison, using comparison research method, document analysis method and interview method to interview the administrators, experts, school staffs, and publishers in Shanghai, China.
Following are the purposes of the research:
a. To investigate the background and evolution of textbook reform policies among junior high schools between Taiwan and China.
b. To compare the selected system of textbook among junior high schools between Taiwan and China.
c. To conclude the result of research, come up with the idea to improve the current national textbook selected system.

Some findings of this research after interviewing and comparing:
a. Politic policies result in the differences of the textbook selected system (Taiwan emphasizes on teacher’s professional autonomy whereas China put emphasis on administration.)
b. The main reasons of the reform of the curriculum and teaching material are different.(politics and technology)
c. The programming of education, curriculum, and teaching material are different.(due to the limits of authority, autonomy, and the different roles of the teachers)
Suggestions according to the results of this research:
a. Set the proper law for textbook selected system.
b. Specify the procedure of selecting textbooks.
c. Administrative organizations should set consulting teams to provide relevant courses and resources.
d. Textbook selecting procedure should combine the application of information technology to make it fair and transparent.
e. After the revision of Compulsory Education Law, take selecting textbooks across the schools into consideration.
