本研究將1989年以後中、日兩國高工機械類課程的發展做描述與
解釋，然後再做教育目標、課程、設科、專業科目及內容做比較，發
現其異同最後歸納研究發現，提出結論與建議提供我國高工課程改革
之參考。
本研究透過相關文獻探討，據以了解中、日兩國現行課程的內容
特點，經過比較分析後獲致之主要結論如下︰
一、在教育目標上兩國皆強調專門技術與知識，我國注重良好的工作
習慣與職業道德及創造進取；日本注重理解本身的社會角色及解
決問題的能力與實踐的態度。
二、在課程架構上日本學校有較多的課程安排權力，而且在一般共同
必修學分佔較高的比重。我國則在專業課程上佔較高的比重。三
民主義與軍訓護理為我國之特色，但也增加了學生功課負擔。
三、在設科上日本機械類設有機械科、汽車科、機電科，我國除上以
上三科之外，尚設有模具、製圖、鑄造、板金、配管、機械木模
、重機科。足見我國設科較多，因而專業課程重疊性高，日本設
科較少，相對的專業課程之間各有特色。
四、在專業科目上日本有不分學科別的共同必修及選修科目，注重工
業通才教育，並提供彈性選課的升學與就業兩種課程。我國各學
科專業科目多，彼此重疊性高，注重各科專精教育，課程不夠彈
性。
五、在專業科目內容上日本採取大架構綱目式，廣 且富彈性；加強
工業基礎、工業數理、專題研究三科目，並且注重實務；我國採
取特定範圍的詳細說明技能項目，雖重點分明，脈絡有序，但缺
乏彈性；並且實務與學理並重。

In this study, I will first try to describe and explain the development of mechanical curriculum in vocational industrial high school of Taiwan R.O.C. and Japan. I will then try to compare the educational object, course of study, course design, professional courses and their contents between these two countries. According to what I have found out, I will try to draft a conclusion and make a few suggestion to improve the course of study design in our vocational industrial high schools.
After studying through related documents about the present course of study in our country Taiwan R.O.C. and Japan. I draft down a few points as following:
1. In educational object respect, our country and Japan are both concentrated in professional technique and knowledge. However our country is more emphasized it training our student to have a good working habit, professional moral, creativity and aggressiveness. Japan is more emphasized at helping student to find out what roles they are acting in the society, assisting then to gain a special problem-solving skill and adjust their attitude when applying such skills.
2. In the course of study structure respect, Japanese schools have more power to arrange their course of studies. And their common required subjects gain higher weight, however in our country, professional subjects gain higher weight. The Three People's Principles, military training and nursing are the required subjects in our country and they are parts of our country's characteristics. However, they are also extra burdens to our students.
3.On course design respect, the faculty of mechanic in Japan is consisted of mechanic, automobile, electronic-mechanic. However, besides the above three courses, we also have die, draft, casting , sheet metal, pinping, mechanical wooden mold and large worker machine courses in the faculty of mechanic in our country. We can see that we have more courses than Japan, and our professional courses overlap with each others. In Japan, they have less course designs. However each of their course designs has its own unique characteristics.
4.On professional courses respect, they have designed common required subjects and electives subjects in Japan and they are emphasized on general industrial education. They also provide courses for their student to get higher education or get a job. In our country, we have more professional courses and they overlap with each others. We are more emphasized on special course education and they are lack of flexibility.
5.On the content design of professional courses, they adopt more wide and more brief outline in Japan. It is more flexible. They emphasize on fundament of industry, physics-mathematics of industry and professional problem study subjects and inclining to practical side. In our country, we emphasize in detailed explanation of a special technique in contained area. However, It lacks of flexibility. Also, We put theory and practical on the same weight.
