我國社區大學自1998年成立以來，即積極的推動社區成人學習，促進社區教育的發展，然而，由於未能與區域性大專校院建立策略聯盟機制，進而有效的進行社區學習資源的整合，以至於未能全面發揮推動社區終身學習的功能。本研究旨在探討社區大學與區域性大專校院策略聯盟的合作機制與具體作法，研究目的包括下列各項：（一）建立社區大學與區域性大專校院之合作機制；（二）研議社區大學與區域性大專校院合作之項目及相關規範；（三）研議大專校院承認社區大學學分之基準要件、問題與因應途徑。 為達以上研究目的，本研究採用文獻分析、訪談法與焦點團體法，針對迄至2004年已經向各縣市政府立案之八十餘所公辦民營社區大學進行研究，經資料分析與歸納結論後，提出以下社區大學與區域性大專校院進行策略聯盟的具體建議：（一）我國社區大學與區域性大專校院建立合作機制有助於成人終身學習網絡的建立；（二）我國社區大學與區域性大專校院建立合作機制可採多種模式並行的原則；（三）社區大學須在體制、法源上進行重整，方能與區域性大專校院建立平等互惠的合作機制；（四）促進區域性大專校院與社區大學共同規劃開設學分課程；（五）鼓勵區域性大專校院教師擔任社區大學的學分課程師資：（六）促進區域性大專校院與社區大學共同設計與研發教材；（七）建立區域性大專校院學生與社區大學建教合作之機制；（八）推動區域性大專校院與社區大學進行社區推廣服務；（九）鼓勵區域性大專校院積極從事社區大學相關研究；（十）積極推動區域性大專校院與社區大學共享設備資源；（十一）透過合作備忘錄或契約書強化社區大學與區域性大專校院的合作關係規範；（十二）積極推動社區大學與大學校院發展熱絡的策略聯盟關係。

Community colleges have been playing an important role in promoting adult learning in community since 1998 in Taiwan. However, in the course of development, community colleges have faced many challenges and dilemmas. Four-year universities also meet a changing competitive environment of higher education. The purpose of the study is therefore, first, to explore the mechanism of forming a strategic alliance between community colleges and local universities; second, to analyze the way the two kinds of institutions can cooperate; and third, to find out the possibility of universities awarding credits to community college students. Literature review, interviews, and focus group were employed in this study. It was found that strategic alliance based on cooperation between community colleges and local universities can allow each institution to be more successful in providing good quality of learning environment. Several conclusions and suggestions are generated.
