宏觀鑑定自 1990年代開始發展，迄今已有加拿大、荷蘭、澳洲、紐西蘭等國採行，可知此種鑑定方法已受到國際上重視。本文以宏觀鑑定適用於國內中央政府層級機關為探討重點，並以行政院之下的教育部為例。首先透過文獻分析，了解加拿大與澳洲實施宏觀鑑定的情況，並採用訪談法與焦點團體法，邀集學者專家與中央層級政府機關檔案管理人員，共同討論宏觀鑑定在臺灣政府機關實施之可行性與問題。

The macroappraisal approach has been developed since 1990. So far, several countries have adopted this method, such as Canada, Netherland, Australia, New Zealand, etc. This paper focuses on macroappraisal in the governmental institution, with special reference to the Ministry of Education of Taiwan as an example. It starts with a literature review, which shows the implementation of macroappraisal approaches in Canada and Australia. This is followed by interviews with scholars and staff of governmental archives, using the focus group approach as the research method. The interviews will be discussed to evaluate the extent to which macroappraisal is applicable in Taiwanese governmental agencies, as well as potential problems.
