Summary:博士 === 國立體育大學 === 體育研究所 === 106 === Based on the critical theory of the Frankfurt school, this study explores the policy of college physical education evaluation in Taiwan. The core of the research method is the policy process. Through a literature review and in-depth interviews, it probes into various aspects of the policy. The subjects include decision makers of governmental sectors, evaluation members, and the schools that were evaluated. Through the results of the interviews, the study aims to recognize the respective positions and “local knowledge” of the schools evaluated. According to the research findings, the policy of college physical education evaluation is one of the measures of the government for controlling physical education development in colleges. However, the construction of the policy is based on measures of imagination in the models, instead of seeking the profound content and value of physical education at colleges. The “top to bottom” policy characteristic is relatively significant. The measures of college physical education evaluation are the directions designated by governmental sectors regarding the development of college physical education, and they are operated by an evaluation mechanism. The output of knowledge can help decide the standard and also reinforce its model. Finally, it provides a situation in which everyone agrees with the truth determined. This study suggests that policy planning should invite stakeholders and students to first discuss the evaluation purposes, measures, and methods. The implementation of the policy should then establish measures from the attributes and scales of schools. One example is to replace the grading system by an accreditation system. Lastly, policy assessment should regularly evaluate the overall policy; otherwise, when it lacks any connection between the cause of policy change and policy effect, the policy will become more unreliable.
