本研究的主要目的為：(1)探討印刷業印前電腦科技現況及其未來
發展趨勢；(2)探討國內電腦化印前從業人員職業訓練的現況為何；(3)
確認電腦化印前從業人員所應具備的能力內涵，並建構課程內容大
綱，以供職訓主管當局和相關單位作為課程規劃之參考。
本研究採用文獻分析、專家訪談及問卷調查等方法，分析電腦化
印前從業人員所應具備的技術能力內涵，將所得資料採用次數、百分
比、平均數、及斯皮爾曼等級相關係數等統計方法，分析上列各項技
術能力之「重要性等級」、「學習需要性」、「學習難易度」，藉以
規劃電腦化印前從業人員職業訓練課程之教材大綱。
本研究所獲得之結論為：(1)電腦化印前作業是必然的發展趨勢
且為印前作業標準化的生產模式。(2)電腦化印前課程大綱，依作業
方式之不同，共分為印刷工業概論、電腦概論、版面資料輸入、版面
資料處理、版面資料輸出、工業安全與環保等六單元。教學內涵應著
重影像處理、工業安全與環保、圖文整合、文字編排等能力項目。最
後，並對職訓主管當局、企業界、擔任印前課程的教師及後續研究提
出具體建議。

The purpose of this study was to: (1) exploring the general situation and future trends of pre-press computer science and technology in the printing industry, (2) exploring the general situation of the vocational training curriculum for computerized pre-press workers in Taiwan, and (3) identifying the technical competencies necessary for computerized pre-press workers, and organizing an outline of the curriculum. So that serve as reference in curriculum-planning for the vocational training agency and related institutes.
According to the study the framework, the research methodology includes literature review, interviews with experts and a questionnaire survey to analyze the technical competencies necessary for computerized pre-press workers. The data analyzed through several statistical methods including Frequency analysis, percentage, arithmetic mean, and Spearman rank correlation. To analyze the importance Level, Future needs, and Difficulty of Learning, of duty/task technological competencies. The conclusions were made for the curriculum-planning of the vocational training curriculums in computerized pre-press workers.
The conclusions of the study were summarized as follows:
(1) The computerized pre-press operation is the future trends and become the production model of the standardize the pre-press operation.
(2) According to the results of survey, the outline of computerized pre-press curriculum can categorize the introduction of printing, the introduction of computer, image input, processing and output, safety and environment protection. Take the Imaging process, graphic assembly, safety and environment protection, character arrangement for priority in the content of instruction.
Finally, several suggestions were made for the vocational training agency, teachers, employers as well as for further research.
