研究發現台灣公共行政學門教育隨著時代的發展 而有相當明顯的成長，台灣公共行政學門在三個時期中 各有不同的特色與差異：傳統時期公共行政學門尚屬附 著在政治學系之下；拓展時期開始出現公共政策、行政 管理、公共事務管理、公共政策與管理等系所；多元領 域蓬勃發展時期則是呈現傳統與新興並存、各自發展的 情形。 The thesis is to study Taiwan’s public administration education during the past six decades in terms of developmental process by means of multiple data gathering, inductive and analytical methods. It is asserted by this thesis that Taiwan’s public administration education during the past six decades can be divided into three distinct periods, i.e., the Tradition Era, the Progressive Era, and the Multiple-Flourish Era.
It is also found that these three eras display different traits and developmental patterns. Taiwan’s public administration education in the Tradition Era was unique in that it was initially a subfield of political science; the Progressive Era witnessed a variety of new fields such as public policy, administrative management, and public management; the Multiple-Flourish Era was characterized by a coexistence of tradition and new fields.
