3. Technological and Vocational Teacher Education in Taiwan, R.O.C.

- Abstract
According to Taiwan's Teacher Preparation Law, anyone who has met the following requirements must pass certification examinations and internship to become a qualified vocational school teacher: graduation from a normal university or teacher college or other college or university with a major in a program designed to train vocational school teachers. A transcript evaluation approach is also in use. The preservice teacher preparation curriculum has three principal components: general/liberal coursework, technical/specialty coursework, and pedagogical/professional coursework. To help inservice vocational teachers develop their competencies, educational authorities offer many inservice professional training and development opportunities. In recent years, vocational teachers have been encouraged to make industry visits during summer breaks and take skill tests. Some problems confronting technical/technological and vocational education (TVE) teachers and vocational teacher education have been identified. The problem of an overabundance of qualified teachers in public vocational schools but a shortage in private vocational schools must be solved. More rational accreditation or evaluation of teacher preparation programs should be sought to ensure the high vocational teacher quality. TVE teachers must be required to have work experience in their specialization area to reflect industry and business needs effectively. (A Chinese version is attached.) (Contains six references.)

4. Curriculum Standards of Technological and Vocational Education in Taiwan, R.O.C.

- Abstract
In Taiwan, curriculum standards for senior vocational schools and junior colleges are administered and promulgated by the Ministry of Education approximately every 10 years. Curricula for institutes of technology are principally school based. As a result of critiques of the current top-down or administration-based approach system of curriculum standard revision, five technological/technical and vocational education (TVE) curriculum development centers have been established. Senior vocational curriculum standards are under revision to reflect the need to strengthen students' basic academic skills by expanding the provision of basic skills courses; relieve students' study load by lessening the number of required courses; and encourage school-based curriculum development by allowing schools to design a part of their curricula to meet local needs. Current junior college curriculum standards have been in effect since the 1995 school year. The main ways in which relevance of the TVE curriculum and its development can be ensured areas follows: critical exploring or planning processes must be completed before every curriculum standard revision; performance standards should be developed to guide TVE curriculum development; criteria must be set and evaluated conducted to guarantee effective curriculum development; a school-based curriculum should be implemented; and greater involvement of industry and inclusion of work-based learning should be pursued.

It is widely recognized that Taiwanese democrat Wan-chu Lee, a so-called half-mainlander who spent a good part of his career in China, was in general in favor of democracy in his coping with the national issue. However, this paper argues that his understanding of the Chinese nation is primarily a cultural nation and he gave this cultural identity an authentic reading that is not to be transcended by his promotion of democracy. Despite that the prospect for democracy was aborted by the actual development in China, his identification with cultural China never faded away. This paper traces the evolution of his cultural identity and how he was able to stay with it throughout his career. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, more universities are establishing translation departments or centers and the Taiwan government is also paying more attention to translation work and internationalization, such as setting up Chinese-English bilingual websites, road signs and floor plans for public buildings, translating documents, publishing translated books, and launching standard certification examinations for professional translators and interpreters. Some common problems in Taiwan translation development have been frequently discussed. For example, what is the current translation situation and what are the problems? What is the national translation policy? How should government resources for translation be allocated? How can the resources be integrated to achieve better performance? How should professional translators be qualified? These issues will eventually affect the knowledge power and competitive edge of the nation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current translation work done by different government divisions in order to explore issues in Taiwan translation development. Some possible proposals for Taiwan translation development include: developing a national translation policy, translation databases, and translation quality assurance mechanisms, differentiation of translation professions, a credit system for academic translators, the promotion of academic and cultural achievements, the use of technology, and conducting fundamental research on translation development.
