The decree 4/98/M, namely the “Law of Art Education” in this thesis, was officially issued in 1998. It puts art education in Macau under supervision and protection and provides legal reference for the implementation of art education. In the past six years, there was not a systematic norm for art education in terms of the application, supervision or training of teachers and other instructional resources. Therefore, the quality of art teaching dramatically varies. Inquiring into the current law of art education in Macau and its implementation as well as the problems confronted by practitioners, the researcher examines present art education in Macau and in turn provides some reference for government’s policies to help support further developments of art education. Adopting structured interview methods, the researcher interviewed many related practitioners at different levels in the education system. The researcher hopes to draw the attention of people in the education field to this Law of Art Education and to give art education its deserved position in the education system.

一九九八年，4/98/M號法令正式頒布，本文稱之為「藝術教育法」。澳門的藝術教育法頒布後，標誌著澳門在藝術教育範疇受法律的監管及保護，使藝術教育的實施及推行有所依據。回顧過去六年，澳門藝術教育，特別是美術教育，無論是師資、教學資源的運用、監管、培訓均沒有一個系統的規範，故此，美術教學質量相當參差。 本研究旨在探討現階段的藝術教育法在澳門施行情況的發展特質及藝術教育工作者所面對的問題，以了解澳門藝術教育的現況，並作為未來藝術教育政策發展的參考，藉此可為藝術教育的資源尋求支援，使藝術教育在本地得以成長。 本研究採用結構性訪談方式，對各階層的美術教育工作者作深入面談。研究員希望透過本文，喚起教育界及社會各界人士對藝術教育法的關注，並提升美術教育在教育體系中應有的地位。 關鍵字：藝術教育、美術教育、法令宣傳
