本文採理論探討方式，企圖釐清教育、教學和課程三者的關係。依次分析說明教育與教學、教育與課程以及教學與課程之關係後，我們可以描繪出教育、教學、課程三者關係的演變。大體上人們多半接納教育包含教學和課程的觀點，但長久以來亦有一些教學和課程觀點卻支持相反見解。課程與教學的關係較為複雜，至今仍未有定論，整體而言較傳統的觀點是教育包含教學、教學包含課程，但今日的觀點較支持課程包含教學、決定教學以及課程有一部分不屬於教育領城的主張。根本原因在於我們對教育、教學、課程三者概念的把握一直出現混淆與不固定的現象，因此教育人員有必要自行建立一套言之成理的觀點，並且隨時反省及修正，而不必執著於建立放諸四海皆準的觀點。
