  • Taiwan Universities: Where to Go?
    humanities Article Taiwan Universities: Where to Go? Yu-Ying Kuo Department of Public Policy and Management; Office of Research and Development, Shih Hsin University, Taipei 116, Taiwan; [email protected] Academic Editor: Satoshi P. Watanabe Received: 1 June 2015; Accepted: 21 January 2016; Published: 4 February 2016 Abstract: The dramatic expansion of Taiwan universities/colleges from about 100 to 160 from the late 1980s has encountered problems due to social and global changes. What should Taiwan universities move toward and how? This research relies on secondary data to explore the issues Taiwan universities currently face—a low birth rate and global competition. The decreasing number of incoming students will result in a lower registration rate and less tuition revenue, which will make some universities struggle to survive. Hence, government policies, proposed by the Ministry of Education, have been implemented to assist Taiwan universities to adjust to external changes. The Innovative Transformation Policy, adopted in 2015, consists of strategies for university–industry cooperation, university mergers, university closures, and a re-shaping of the university paradigm. This policy has begun to be implemented and its initial outcome will be continually evaluated. In accordance with the Innovative Transformation Policy, this study encourages Taiwan universities to improve governance, set prominent unique characteristics of development, and enhance global competitiveness. Keywords: higher education; Taiwan university; enrollment; globalization 1. Introduction In Taiwan, encouraged by the philosophy of neo-liberalism and the expansion of universities, higher education was requested to provide more educational opportunities to the general public from the late 1980s. With the massification and popularity of higher education, university governance, teaching excellence, and students’ learning quality have also become matters of sincere concern.

  • Impact of Journalism Educators on Media Performance and Journalism Practice in Taiwan
    International Education Research Volume 2, Issue 3 (2014), 01-13 ISSN 2291-5273 E-ISSN 2291-5281 Published by Science and Education Centre of North America Impact of Journalism Educators on Media Performance and Journalism Practice in Taiwan Huei Lan Wang1* 1Department of communication, Nanhua University, Chiayi, Taiwan *Correspondence: Department of communication, Nanhua University, Chiayi,Taiwan. Tel: 886- 933-269-035; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study examines the role of journalism educators in Taiwan in shaping their students’ views of the profession, and the extent to which the ethics and values taught at university are practiced in the newsroom. Interviews were conducted with educators and journalism graduates from National Chengchi University, a public institution recognized as setting the standard for journalism education in the country, and Nanhua University, a private institution. The study indicates that an individual educator’s attitudes and opinions on concepts such as public service, news value, and news ethics have an impact on the views of students, although business and political pressures, as well as Taiwan’s highly competitive media market, may compromise journalistic values and ethics. Keywords: Taiwan, journalism education, journalism profession, journalism educators 1. Introduction 1.1 Theme of the Study How do journalism educators assess journalistic practice and media performance in Taiwan’s highly competitive media market? For this study, 12 journalism professors and 12 of their former students, currently working as journalists, were interviewed. Six professors and six journalists were from Chengchi University in northern Taiwan, ranked number one by reputation in journalism in the country; the others were from Nanhua University, a private institution in south Taiwan (See Appendix 1, 2, 3).

  • The Rankings of Research Funding Among Universities in Taiwan
    Mar. 2010, Volume 7, No.3 (Serial No.64) US-China Education Review, ISSN 1548-6613, USA The rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan WANG Ru-Jer (Department of Education, Graduate Institute of Educational Policy and Administration, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan) Abstract: With the current trend that universities around the world have gradually stepped into higher education systems of popularization, there has been more diversity in universities; hence it has become necessary to increase the transparency of university governance. Since that university classification or university ranking is a powerful mechanism to demonstrate the diversity of an institute, the rankings of research funding have become desirable and also of great value. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan, and make relevant suggestions based on the findings. A secondary data analysis was conducted on the data obtained from the database of National Science Council, in order to develop the rankings of research funding among 164 universities in Taiwan. Based on the results, the conclusions are as follows: (1) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best overall strength were National Taiwan University, National Cheng Gung University, and National Chiao Tung University; (2) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best average faculty strength were National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Taiwan University. It is suggested that, when rating the strength of a university to win the research funding, both overall strength and average faculty strength should be considered to avoid the unfairness towards universities of smaller scale.

  • Voices of Atayal People: Indigenous Cultural Memory in Modern Taiwan Society
    Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal – Vol.6, No.3 Publication Date: Mar. 25, 2019 DoI:10.14738/assrj.63.6314. Thao, Y. J. (2019). Voices of Atayal People: Indigenous Cultural Memory in Modern Taiwan Society. Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 6(3) 141-158. Voices of Atayal People: Indigenous Cultural Memory in Modern Taiwan Society Yer J. Thao Full Professor at Portland State University, College of Education, USA. ABSTRACT When talking about Indigenous culture in the 21st century, it is important to understand the Taiwan Indigenous People and their ways of cultural practices. This study used ethnographic inquiry as a qualitative approach for a total of 11 people from an aboriginal tribe called, Tayal (Atayal) in northern Taiwan. Data sources include: (1) Tape-recording in Mandarin Chinese, Tayal language, and English from the research participants; (2) Community event observations; and (3) one-on-one interviews. This study revealed that preservation of Tayal heritage, language, culture and social lifestyle structure in the 21st century and beyond is a major concern and deeply important to Tayal communities and individuals. An effort to construct an authentic Tayal traditional culture education program seems to have significant benefits for not only Tayal children, families, communities, but for the Taiwanese society as well. Keywords: Indigenous, Aboriginal, Oral Culture, Diversity, and Taiwanese. INTRODUCTION This study examines how the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples maintain their oral culture knowledge and identity amidst an evolving modern society. Currently, the Taiwan government has recognized sixteen Aboriginal tribes. “Atayal” is the official term recognized by the Taiwanese government for the Atayal Nation.
