An Influence of Ideology and Hegemony on the Core Curriculum and Instruction of Industrial Design Education in Taiwan Wen-Jun Cheng Abstract The purpose of this dissertation was an attempt to discourse the potential influence of ideology and hegemony on the core curriculum and instruction of Industrial Design Education in Taiwan. The research methods used include both theoretical study and positive study. For the theoretical study, the textbooks, papers and journals related to the subject of ideology and hegemony were studied using analytic and concluding methods. By studying the literature, one can immediately gain the basic concepts. With the knowledge of the basic concept, one can use the discipline of industrial design to explore the significance of the subject through the use of hermeneutic and critical method. Ultimately, one can explain the principle of the study and lead to a conclusion. Follow the completion of the theoretical study, initially, a qualitative research was initiated and conducted through observation and interviewing of a selected group of tutors. Following by the qualitative research, appropriate questionnaires were generated based on the results of the qualitative research. A general survey of students with the questionnaire was conducted and a conclusion of the study was derived. In summary, the influence of ideology and hegemony on the Industrial Design Education deserves more attention. Furthermore the tutor of core curriculum has to make an attempt to understand the feeling and expectation of the students on the influence of ideology and hegemony in order to improve the learning effectiveness of students. Finally, the tutor should apply the skills of communication with an open-minded attitude in order to encourage a better interaction with the students. For a better Industrial Design Education, it would be beneficial for tutors to adopt the strategy of using encouragement, respect and trust instead of inspiration supervision and constraint. By respecting the differentiation of each individual student, the tutor could provide wider alternatives for each student to become successful. If the strategy as recommended by this dissertation can be adopted by all tutors, the ultimate goal of industrial design education of not duplicating the concepts of tutor, but incubating the mature character of each student can then be achieved in Taiwan. Keywords: industrial design education, core curriculum, ideology and hegemony.
