Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 日本研究所碩士班 === 93 === Education for girls in Taiwan was officially started after the Kokugo Daiichi Gakkou Fuzoku Joshi Bunkyojo (the First Japanese Language School Girls’ Brunch) was established by the Government-general of Taiwan at Shi-Ling in 1897. At that time, it was difficult to recruit students to the newly opened girls’ school. In order to appeal the importance and excellence of education in the school, art works made by the students were displayed at exhibitions. Therefore, it is safe to say that, in the first stage of girls’ education in Taiwan, the art education in school served as a bridge between Taiwan’s traditional families and modern education in Taiwan.
In the girls’ school in Taiwan, a traditional art education handed down form Chinese Shin era was a center of school curriculum before 1910s. However, after the late of 1930s, a Western dressmaking also started to be included in the school curriculum. After Japan-China War in 1937, since imperial curriculum was imposed, students had to spend more time on making Western clothes as well as traditional Japanese kimono. During the Japanese colonial period, students in Daisan Koutou Jogakkou (The Third Girls’ High-School in Taiwan) were role models for most of the Taiwanese girls.
In this study, both what the real purposes of education in modern girls’ schools established by the Government-general of Taiwan during Japanese colonial era were, and how those purposes were realized through the school curriculum in Daisan Koutou Jogakkou, are discussed focusing on the school curriculum and educational contents of Dsaisan Koutou Jogakkou at that period, especially the art education in the school.
