大學教師甄選是否應更透明揭示國際經驗的重要性

Quick Look

文章探討大學專任教師甄選過程中,海外博士背景和國際計畫經驗是否應該在徵才公告中明確揭示,以確保應徵者在資訊對等的情況下競爭,並反思台灣博士培育政策與大學人才評價標準的匹配度。

Why It Matters

大學面臨國際排名、研究績效、雙語教學、國際合作與競爭型計畫等多重壓力,教師招聘愈來愈重視國際研究能力,海外博士訓練、國外博士後經歷、國際合作網絡和參與國際研究計畫成為重要考量。

每年都有許多博士投入大學專任教師甄選。研究成果、教學能力、專長領域與博士學位,通常清楚寫在徵才公告中。然而,真正值得高等教育界討論的是:決定一名學者能不能進入面試、甚至獲得聘任的條件,是否全部都寫在公告裡?

近年大學面臨國際排名、研究績效、雙語教學、國際合作與競爭型計畫等多重壓力,教師招聘自然愈來愈重視國際研究能力。海外博士訓練、國外博士後經歷、國際合作網絡,以及參與國際研究計畫,成為重要考量,本身並沒有問題。

真正的問題是「透明度」。

如果某些系所實際高度重視海外博士背景,或者把國際計畫經驗視為重要的篩選條件,那麼這些要求是否應該更明確地呈現在徵才公告中?

對應徵者而言,準備一份教師甄選資料並不是填幾張表格而已。研究計畫、教學理念、課程規劃、代表著作、推薦資料,以及面試與試教,都需要投入相當時間。如果公告呈現的是一套資格,但真正具有決定性的卻是另一套沒有明確揭示的條件,問題就不只是「最後誰被選上」,而是所有參與者是否在資訊相對對等的情況下競爭。

海外學歷當然具有價值,但國外博士並不必然等同於較強的研究能力;國內博士也不代表缺乏國際競爭力。真正值得比較的,應該是研究品質、獨立研究能力、教學表現、國際合作成果,以及未來能否建立具有特色的研究方向。

國際計畫也是如此。

一名年輕研究者能不能參與大型國際計畫,有時不只取決於能力,也受到既有職位、研究團隊與學術網絡影響。如果「已經擁有國際計畫經驗」逐漸成為取得大學職位的重要前提,可能產生一個值得注意的循環:先取得資源的人,更容易累積下一項資源;尚未進入正式學術體系的人,則更難取得證明自己的機會。

這也讓台灣博士培育政策面臨一個值得思考的問題。

政府與大學長期投入大量資源培養博士,要求研究生發表國際論文、參與國際研討會並建立研究能力。如果到了教師招聘階段,學歷取得地點或既有國際資源仍然具有遠高於其他能力的實質影響,那麼我們也應該重新思考:大學究竟希望培養什麼樣的人才,又準備如何評價自己所培養的人才?

大學當然需要選才自主。不同系所有不同發展方向,也不可能以完全相同的標準招聘教師。但「自主」不等於「不必透明」。

如果海外經歷非常重要,可以明確說明;如果國際計畫能力具有高度權重,也可以列入條件;如果學校真正需要的是全英語授課、跨國研究合作或特定國際網絡,更應讓應徵者事先知道。

這不是要求大學放棄專業判斷,而是讓選才制度更加成熟。

真正具有競爭力的大學,除了有能力找到最好的人,也應讓所有應徵者清楚知道:這場比賽究竟是在比什麼。

當大學不斷要求人才走向國際,我們也應該問一句:教師聘任中那些真正重要的條件,是否都已經誠實地寫在徵才公告?

這或許才是台灣高等教育人才競爭真正需要面對的問題。

Minister of Education Cheng Yingyao caused controversy by saying that hiring teachers is the responsibility of local governments. Experts pointed out that education governance needs to clarify the division of labor between the central and local governments.

Minister of Education Cheng Ying-yao said that hiring teachers is the responsibility of each county and city government, which triggered criticism. The article analyzed that Taiwan’s national education is decentralized between the central and local governments. The problem of teacher shortages involves staff flexibility, the impact of declining birthrate and teacher training policies. It emphasized that the central and local governments should each take their own responsibilities instead of passing the buck to each other, and called for a detailed review of the causes of the shortage rather than simple blame.
