陳岡﹕國教科重價值判斷 通識科只重知識？

Created: 27 September 2012

【明報專訊】教育局長吳克儉9月19日在交流會上，被問到通識科中已有現代中國的主題，不明白當局為何要另設德育及國民教育科。報載吳局長解釋說，德育及國民教育科有助學生主觀的價值判斷，通識科的現代中國部分則是在知識層面了解國家，兩者並不相同。這種說法會誤導公眾，以為通識科只需學生學「硬知識」，不重視價值判斷，而學生在國家事務上做價值判斷時不需要運用知識。

在通識科，我們經常問學生「你是否同意」或「你在多大程度上同意」某種說法，然後請學生解釋立場。考評局所擬的通識科公開試試題，也經常這樣問考生（曾任考評局主席的吳局長應該很清楚）。這不是價值判斷是什麼？要作出這種判斷，知識不重要嗎？舉例說，要學生判斷中央政府現時處理與日本釣魚台衝突的政策是否恰當，學生是否應先對中日關係的歷史、東亞的地緣政治、中日的經貿關係等（還有其他方面的）知識有基本了解，才能作出具有識見的判斷？吳局長的言論將價值判斷與知識割裂，與一些只有民族主義激情的「主觀價值判斷」有什麼分別？

通識科的學習成果和評估目標同時包括「在研習當代議題時能應用相關的知識」和「運用批判性思考能力……從多角度考慮作出判斷」等目標（課程文件第97頁），就是顯示知識、思考能力和價值判斷之間不可切割的關係。「德國科」的課程宗旨，亦包括「發展批判性思考能力，以客觀（筆者按：並非「主觀」）和理性態度……作出合情合理的判斷」（課程指引第2頁）。正因為「德國科」內的知識內容、思考能力和價值判斷等等都在通識科及很多初中學科中同時存在，所以「德國科」根本毋須獨立成科。吳局長當初堅持獨立成科，與他不了解學習知識與價值判斷的關係，不了解通識科和「德國科」的課程宗旨，不無關係。
