This paper is practitioner’s tentative study to think reflectively on the present anti-reform in Taiwan’s universities. After several years’ participation （1990-1997） in education reform, the author proposes the study of the antagonistic forces in education reform as an important issue. Ideal types of “problematic student”, “problematic teacher” and “problematic interaction” are constructed to explain the antagonism. Teaching performance evaluation, curriculum reform, and promotion of students’ life quality in those universities are described and analyzed critically. To avoid controversy, most part of the paper is documented as a pretended conversation with a respectable professor who passed away fifteen years ago.
Keywords: education reform, teacher-student interaction, ideal type, learning attitude
