國家教育研究院

　　本研究計畫旨在針對生命教育融入國中階段課程的核心素養與組織方式進行研究。為此，我們首先檢視現行國中階段課程裡生命教育的理念、融入方式與推動策略，繼而探究國中階段學生應該具備的生命教育核心素養及其內容，並指出國中階段生命教育課程應該採取的適當方式。本研究所採用的方法是：文獻分析、專家會議、焦點座談及分區座談等。本研究的結果是：國中階段乃是生命教育實施之至為關鍵的階段；生命教育對於國中階段之青少年的重要性，乃是在於培養他們獨特的「個體性」；與團體中的成員共榮的「群體性」；以及自決、自主的「主體性」；國中階段之青少年所需要的生命教育之核心素養有「方法與基礎」、「人生三問」兩大面向，再開展出五大層面，包括「哲學思考」、「人學圖像」、「終極關懷」、「價值思辨」、「靈性修養」；「融入」之作為國中階段之生命教育的課程組織方式並不足夠，毋寧應該採取單獨設科的方式。

　　The aim of this project is to identify the key competences of life education in junior high school and to explore how life education should be adequately organized into the curriculum. To this purpose, this project begins with an examination of the idea of life education reflected in the common sense, how life education is currently organized into the curriculum, and how it is promoted. The research methods on which the project is based include literature review, panel meeting, focus group interview, and regional forums. The results are as follow：(1) the junior high school is the key stage for the implement of life education. (2) The importance of life education for junior high students consists in the cultivation of individuality, sociability, and subjectivity. (3) The key competences of life education consist of 5 core competence dimensions (i.e. Philosophical Thinking, Profile of Human Being, Ultimate Concerns, Value Assessment, Spiritual Cultivation). (4) "Integration" is not sufficient to provide an adequate way of organizing life education curriculum in junior high school, rather, there should be a separate subject devoted to life education.
