摘要 近年來，「生命教育」逐漸成為華人地區教育領域的熱點議題，對個體生命的尊重亦成為教育界的關注焦點.在中國內地，伴隨中國新一輪基礎教育改革的進程,生命教育亦逐漸受到地方教育行政當局的重視。生命教育的出現，既是對現實社會問題的回應，更是對教育價值定位的重新審視。生命教育是一個具有相當情境化的教育理念，那麼，在中國大陸的生命教育和其他國家的地區有何不同？中國教育的價值導向和生命教育理念之間的關聯如何？為什麼生命教育如此重要，但為何在中國卻姍姍來遲且進程緩慢？要對於這些問題做出回答，需要對中國大陸的教育基本理念、社會文化、環境脈絡等方面問題進行深入了解和剖析。 本研究採用質性研究取向，從政策分析的觀點切入，講教育法律法規視為文本與論述，探討文本中所隱含的內顯意義，並配合時空脈絡的理解，針對其條文內容背後隱藏的知識、權力觀點進行論述分析，並在此基礎上探討法律法規中內顯意義、價值取向與大陸生命教育話語之間的關聯，並嘗試提出大陸生命教育內容的建構方案。 關鍵詞：教育法規 生命教育 論述分析
