澳門近代教育發展的研究史料分析

The aim of this article is to explore the useful first-hand sources for the study of the history of modern Macau education. The history of education is a sub-discipline of History, and also a branch of the social foundations of education or educational foundation disciplines. The study of the history of Macau education commenced from the beginning of this century initiated by the Faculty of Education, the University of Macau. However, lack of sufficient first-hand sources is still one of the main obstacles for studying Chinese education in Macau. Three kinds of sources were introduced, which may be helpful for the study in the future. Firstly, the China Educational Year Book published by the Ministry of Education KMT government. Secondly, national archives. There are twenty-three volumes of national archives on education stored by National Archives Administration relating to Chinese schools in Macau 1937-1949. Thirdly, Journals and books published by western protestant missions, such as The Chinese Repository and the Missionary Herald.
