台湾における大学教員資格審査制度の変容

Abstract

This paper discusses changes to the system of faculty qualification assessment in Taiwan. We analyzed the background and reasons for adopting diverse standards into qualification assessment of faculty promotion. The adoption of these standards at each type university were analyzed, and a case study was performed based on the analysis. The results of the analysis indicated that the Taiwanese government has gradually deregulated the authority of faculty qualification assessment to more universities. However, diversity is still emphasized by the government. This characteristic has become more definite after adopting the diverse standards into faculty qualification assessment. Originally, the universities considered the role of faculties regarding research, education, and social contribution with research as the central role. After adopting diverse standards, universities began to consider the role of faculties with other than education or social contribution as the central role. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the role of faculties by allowing them to decide their role based on their own characteristics.
