本研究透過民國39年至90年出版之小學低年級國語教科書政治主題插畫形式分析，了解各時期插畫家面對政治主題課文內容所呈現的插畫 表現特色。研究參考伊斯頓（D.Easton）之政治系統理論，訂定本研究「政治主題」之分類項目，並依據「藝術社會學」理論精神，透過相關 歷史文獻蒐集，推測形成「政治主題」的可能因素。研究中統整出民國39年至90年期間出版之小學低年級國語教科書「政治主題」插畫形式特 色，整理出七項主題，敘述如下：（一）、「反共抗俄」主題：只出現在早期版本，民國46年版本插畫內容以血腥、殺戮的圖像強調共產黨對 人民的迫害，以傳達「反共抗俄」的意識。（二）、「捐獻救國」主題：僅出現於早期版本，插畫家透過寫有「獻機報國」字樣的捐獻箱、軍 備、以及手持金錢的兒童圖像，傳達此意指。（三）、「中華民國國旗」主題：透過繪製國旗正面造形、放大國旗圖像並配置於版面最上方等 手法突顯國旗造形，並描繪兒童向國旗敬禮，或以立正、目視國旗等姿態表示對國旗的尊敬。（四）、「使用國貨」主題：插畫家於場景中突 顯「改良工業、提倡國貨」之標題字樣，傳達其訴求。（五）、「政治領袖」主題：插畫家針對蔣公生平主題結合攝影肖像，以加強領導者形 象之塑造。（六）、「保衛國家」主題：早期版本，插畫內容戰爭意味濃厚，插畫家以戰場、兒童兵之圖像，宣揚兒童保家衛國之強烈意識。 中期至近代版本，插畫中漸漸少了作戰氣氛。（七）、「國慶日」主題：各時期版本皆以國旗、雙十圖紋做為該節日之代表，但有不同之訴求 重點，早期民國46、55年版本.插畫情境表現嚴肅、呆版，課文內容訴求反共復國意識。中期版本透過攝影照片宣揚國軍戰備，彰顯國家富強形 象。近代版本以慶祝活動的歡樂氣氛為表現重點。插畫中軍事化、政治化訴求逐漸減少。研究顯示，政治主題主要集中於早期版本，然而自民 國84年版本教科書編輯權開放後，政治主題的表現除了「國慶日」主題之外，其他「政治主題」幾乎已全面退出。小學低年級國語教科書雖以 培養學童語文、閱讀、寫作能力為目標，然而因著時代與政治環境的影響，國語教科書的內容確實也滲透了許多兒童文學以外的特殊因子，因 著意識型態而產生，並成為該時代背景下最珍貴的歷史紀錄。

Takes the theories of Sociology of Art as the basis, this study probes into the political propaganda in lower grades text book’s illustrations of the primary schools through out 1950 to 2001. Also determines the relationships between illustrations and by which the political propaganda are conveyed in different period of time through Literature Investigation methods. The study can reveals that, the key characteristics and the main political message of the textbook propaganda in between 1950-2001 as follows: 1. --" Promoting anti-communist, and anti Russia spirit": the earlier versions (textbooks of 1957) in Taiwan, featured bloody scenes to demonstrate the wickedness and the cruelty of the communists 2. --"Promoting donations for national armament": The textbook versions in 1950, 1957, and 1966 incorporated graphs of children waving money, donation boxes, and military equipment to signifying the vivid message of "donating to your Country". 3. --To promote "the spirit of guarding and defending of home country": The early versions textbooks of 1950, 1957, and 1966 marked the implications of wars, the illustrators sends the messages of defending the country by graphs of battlefield, and child soldiers.
