本文旨在探討，如何透過戲劇欣賞實施美育教學，主要採取詮釋學的立場，研究歷程長達五年。訪談對象包括賴聲川、丁乃竺、金士傑等人，訪談大綱歷經四次修訂；聚焦《暗戀桃花源》這部戲劇經典，輔以研究者長期教學經驗的省思；企圖融合「教育學者」與「劇場導演」兩種視野，進而嘗試提出一個教學架構，作為教師從事美育教學的參考。研究結果發現，實施戲劇欣賞教學，不可或缺的三個環節：第一是欣賞前應進行創作理念的分析，第二是欣賞中應專注美感經驗的知覺，第三是欣賞後應討論作品意義的詮釋。

The purpose of this research was to construct a concept framework about appreciation teaching for aesthetic education. Firstly, the researchers analyzed the art theory of a current popular artist, Sheng-chuan Lai, with his creative experience. Secondly, two principles for drama appreciation were proposed: 1) open your mind; 2) keep whole awareness. Finally, the authors suggest that an art teacher has to encourage his students to interpret the meaning of life and implement the theatre to enlarge students’ vision for aesthetics.
