碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 公共行政與政策學系 === 101 === The main purpose of this study is to research the result of efforts in the University of Aboriginal Tribe. First, according to documents, university of aboriginal tribe has existed for ten years by overcoming a great deal of difficulties since being first established in 2002. The university has been holding an important position in reviving the culture and passing down the education; moreover, guiding nations to the responsibility of lifelong learning. In addition, to encourage nations in the tribe to participate in learning movement, the spirit of traditional mechanism of “tribes restoring” is been called. Based on this, the tribal university is devoted to managing the education of local culture and engaging in combining the information from every society. This approach is expected to integrate and operate efficiently to practice the hinge of adult education in regional aboriginal and lifelong learning. The basis for the subject of the issue is to construct the aboriginals’ lifelong learning plan in the University of Aboriginal Tribe in Taichung. The research includes in-depth interviews on the topic of five practical aspects in the University of Aboriginal Tribe. First of all, when it comes to the function and the goal of education, the differences between society colleges and aboriginal colleges is the conscious of culture. Besides, in point of effective results and advance course learning, tribal society through assistance by the overall efficiency is not significantly obvious. The university creates the individual tribal characteristic at the first, and put efforts to the individual functional development for trainees gradually. It naturally become vice learning effect. Second of all, Curriculum planning and implementation of teaching are also discussed. The university has started learning the view of cultural heritage. The lecturer should have inner sight of cultural heritage, involving in the integration the context of teaching and the traditional culture. It is to strengthen the connection with tribes. Then, the movement stimulation for the aboriginals to pursue further education is not quite many because professors’ quality is not equal. In response to the "Glocalization" trend, curriculum design and teaching methods have to be taken actions that suit for the circumstances, associating with the thinking of metro and rural areas. For example, the metropolitan area of culture and creation can be a transformation as a modern mode. Aboriginal social rights, public participation, community development and civil society awareness are the impacts on the long-term future. Third of all, being mentioned about the operation of school affairs and the publicity, university of aboriginal tribe has proposed five perspectives. The first one is that they carry out BOT (Build-operate-transfer) annually. This plan will lead educational development to uncertainty. The second point is that structural and learning coherence causes a phenomenon which is the mainly trainees are females or former members. The third is the purpose of university of aboriginal tribe to become a regional aboriginal lifelong learning resource center influences operation model of BOT. Tribal University conducts a strategic alliance, but if the city and county chief administrative officer as president framework doesn’t want to change his means, it will become one of political and administrative organizations’ deformation. The last, the advantages of tribal university in Taichung is they possess abundant information for education and students have highly motivation in learning. Opportunity is a role to promote the fusion of metropolitan and rural areas. On the other hand, threaten lies in the breakthrough of original viewpoint for the aboriginals. Then, the operation and the circumstances of the tribal university is also an important issue. Administrative staffs are employed frequently so they couldn’t accumulate their working experiences. Also, the environment in tribes is humble and simple. The key of this problem is they don’t have sufficient funds. The last one is about the vision of future and sustainable development. The tribal university has to present the cultural characteristics of the old times, practice multi-function, and try to innovate bravely so that they can have more chances to extend the future. To conform to the trendy of "Glocalization", curriculum planning should head to regional system and systematic design. It is not only the heritage of traditional culture but also the junction of local and modern information. Based on the finding, we provide some suggestions as references: First, the recommendation for aboriginal education authorities is to advocate perspectives of lifelong learning. It can also foster the aboriginals’ studying passion. Second, integration of national education institution is also a must. This is a road to ideal university. We also have to strive for adequate funds and optimize the environment in tribal area so that we can promote the quality of learning. The organization also has to be institutionalized so people will value greatly the suggestions of teaching system. In addition, professors should be commended and encourage to inspire their innovative learning potential. Second, the suggestions for tribal university can be divided into four points. First, highlighting the knowledge development of professors is a way to increase their competitiveness. Second, they can also unify courses to an advanced field and extend the value of culture. Then, they can manifest features of tribal culture by getting learning certification. The last one is allow tribes to participate in educational decision policy to promote the efficiency of organization. Third, the advice for the aboriginals can be said in several ways. I think confidence is one of movements to recognize their own culture. They have to believe that education is the most useful investment for their area. It is an indispensable strategy on this project. Moreover, the old wisdoms are the treasure of historical culture and the heritage of experiences. They should also restore ethical organizational functions so that residents can be put in an appropriate position. Last of all, there are some suggestions for future research. Council of Indigenous Peoples “The Third Term in Experimental Tribal University” has been set up gradually since 2012. The main idea of the organization is to enhance the competitiveness of the aboriginals, preserve theist local culture and lengthen the knowledge of culture. If this idea will be accomplished, we can research by advocating sustainable development in the future.
