香港教育歷史書寫以教育政策史為核心，一直缺乏有關鄉村學校的研究。本地教育史研究者多數將鄉村學校納入傳統中國學塾的想像，或簡化成一種過渡式的教育模式。在殖民管治新界的歷史時空下，鄉村學校的具體面貌，及其在不同階段的轉型和社會功能都被忽略。本研究以有別於主流教育歷史研究的書寫方式，嘗試將鄉村學校與新界殖民管治、新市鎮規劃、鄉村社群與城市文化拉扯等範疇連結起來，多角度重塑新界鄉村學校與整體社會脈絡的互動。本研究透過說明新界鄉村學校的歷史發展過程，目的是為了突顯鄉村學校並非鐵板一塊。鄉村教育與鄉村社區文化緊密結合，學校的發展形態多樣而且教學生活化。 ; 本研究先從描繪鄉村學校與新界殖民歷史的關係出發，指出鄉村學校的興起與戰後殖民政府改變新界管治方針，普及教育的政治功能，以及現代教育體制的建立有密切關係。為強調鄉村學校的地緣特色，本文會以兩所新界鄉村學校為個案研究對象。本文藉著訪問、挖掘學校文獻、整理現存的口述歷史研究報告及相關歷史資料，介紹兩所新界鄉村學校的辦學理念、發展沿革、教學特色。本研究最後將提到1997 年後鄉村學校面臨大規模結束的困境，當中反映政府及民間社會對鄉村學校的不同理解和定位。本地教育史研究以線性叙事磨平地區發展差異和鄉村學校的多義性，因此本研究通過探討新界鄉村學校在本地教育史中的位置為鄉村學校研究補遺，並進一步批判以城市價值為核心的單一教育模式。 ; The writing of Hong Kong education history has always focused on the side of education policy. The majority of the studies describe village schools in the New Territories as traditional and transitional form of education, which makes village school unnoticed in the academic field. It is important to review village schools differently in each historical era, and to rethink its intersection with the colonial policy, urban and rural tension, and its significant position in the process of education modernization. Unlike the mainstream education policy studies, this study relate education development with colonial governance, urbanization and evolvement in local education model. With these angles, this study will provide both macro and micro perspectives to understand how the social and cultural environments reshape village schools in the New Territories in the post-war era. ; This study will first pointed out the closely linkage between village school in New Territories and the colonial rule of New Territories. The rise of village schools in the post-war period is much related to the changing ruling principle in New Territories. The political purpose of promoting mass education and the establishment of the local education system also provide a favorable environment for the booming development of village schools. ; In order to emphasize how geographical factors affect village schools, this study will use two village schools in New ...
