本文主要在探究十二年國民基本教育課程的願景與理念，以做為未來課程綱要研擬的參考依據。透過對於當前國民教育的課程理念進行檢視與討論，並參酌相關教育法令、重要教育政策之建議、國際趨勢以及國民中小學相關基礎性研究，提出十二年國民基本教育「成就每一位孩子～適性揚才‧終身學習」的課程願景。課程理念係從Dewey的經驗哲學、後現代教育的主體性、複雜思想，以及各階段學生所需具備的核心素養研究等論述予以型塑，不僅需涵蓋個人自我實現、國民基本素質，更應廣及身為地球公民的責任與倫理，於此，本文提出「自發」、「互動」、「共好」的課程理念。

This study probed the curriculum vision and core idea of 12-year compulsory education, which will serve as a frame of reference for the development of curriculum guidelines. We have reviewed and discussed the current curriculum idea of compulsory education and deliberated on relevant educational laws and regulations, the directions of important educational policies, international trends, as well as related basic research on elementary and high schools. The curriculum vision of 12-year compulsory education, “Every child will achieve their goals: talent-praising well and lifelong learning”, was brought forth. The core idea was shaped by such discussions as J. Dewey’s experiential philosophy, the subjectivity of post-modern education, complex thought, and the key competencies essential for students of every stage. The curriculum idea encompasses not only an individual’s self-realization and a national’s basic qualities but also a global citizen’s responsibilities and ethics. We put forward spontaneity, interaction, and common good as the curriculum idea of 12-year compulsory education.
