博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業科技教育研究所 === 93 === The high applicability to Human Resource in the fields of management , education and business leadsto the prompt need of applying its theory in practice. Therefore, how to produce useful and localized results was the basic concern of this study. The researcher believed that the attitude of “research infers practice” creates usefully localized knowledge. For that reason, this study adopted the qualitative research approaches of critical practice method and Cultural Studies, which are based on Anthropology as Cultural Critique, to study the knowledge community of Digital Arts in Taiwan. Meanwhile, this study was grounded on the operational principle that is “the researcher is the instrument”, and was undertaken into three phases. For the first two phases, the“dual-reading tactical design”developed by Barthes and Derrida in Deconstructist was employed. In the first phase, Grounded Theory was applied to establish the readable texts. which is the absic theory for the knowledge field of Digital Arts. In the second phase, the interviewees of the first phase were invited to be the readers to deconstruct the established theory of the previous phase. The outcome of this phase was scriptable texts. Following the analysis of the texts of the former two phases, the discourses were presented in the third phase as the founding engine for the knowledge community of Digital Arts in Taiwan. Further, in this study, intervening strategies are mapped out by referring the principles of community-founding, ethnicity-forming and Organization Development, and to be the reference framework of critical practice physically, as well as to found the digital art knowledge community. Till this thesis is written, the outcome of critical practice is not to gain a conclusion or to develop a great theory but to starts a movement that triggers self-conscious of the knowledge community of Digital Arts in Taiwan. In light of the foregoing, it’s beyond question that the accomplishment of the critical practice is the process of rooting the theory.
