本研究主要探究臺北市國民小學「試辦教師專業發展評鑑」的方案改變理論的概念架構,透過以方案理論為基礎的評鑑來評鑑試辦學校的實施成效。
本研究採用文件分析和訪談法,歸納臺北市國民小學「試辦教師專業發展評鑑」的方案改變理論。研究者自編「臺北市國民小學試辦教師專業發展評鑑實施調查問卷」,以臺北市國民小學96學年度31所參與試辦的教師為研究對象,共發出778份問卷進行調查,回收之問卷採用SPSS for Windows 12.0版統計套裝軟體進行統計分析。
本研究根據實徵研究資料,獲致以下結論:
一、執行理論的「教師討論方案」面向落實情形最佳。
二、執行理論的落實情形介於「大多落實」至「全部落實」之間。
三、具不同任教身份、參與教師專業發評鑑的經驗和評鑑身分的教師,對執行理論的落實情形之知覺程度有顯著差異情形。
四、教師對方案理論「有助於教師進行教學反思及瞭解教學得失」的知覺程度最佳。
五、教師背景變項中的「任教年資」和「學校規模」對整體方案理論「協助教師專業成長」具顯著的預測力。
六、執行理論面向中的「教師專業成長活動」和「教師討論方案」對整體方案理論「協助教師專業成長」具顯著的預測力。
七、執行理論題項中的「學校評鑑人員根據專業發展評鑑結果,依教師整體需
求安排研習和進修活動」對整體方案理論「協助教師專業成長」具顯著的預測力。
基於上述結論,本研究對主管教育與學校行政單位、國民小學教師及後續研究提出下述建議:
一、對主管教育行政機關的建議
(一)協助學校發展專業社群,提升教師專業發展的成效。
(二)整合教師專業發展評鑑、教學輔導教師制度和發展性輔導系統的課程。
(三)提供法制面和實務面的支持,鼓勵學校持續參與試辦。
二、對國民小學行政單位的建議
(一)加強落實學校試辦經校務會議通過的程序。
(二)善用教師專業發展評鑑結果,妥善安排學校教師的進修或研習活動。
(三)加強落實評鑑規準的討論和編訂,凝聚教師對專業標準的共識。
(四)增進教師實師自我評鑑和觀察前會談的機制和知能。
(五)鼓勵學校評鑑人員運用學生或家長對教學反應的評鑑方式。
三、對國民小學教師的建議
(一)認識並接納教師專業發展評鑑的助益。
(二)參與試辦教師專業發展評鑑的討論和決策。
四、對後續研究的建議
(一)探究試辦個案學校的方案改變理論
(二)發展不同階段或形式的方案理論評鑑架構
The main purposes of this study were to analyze the program theoretical logic of the trial implementation of “Teacher Evaluation for Profession Development” in the elementary schools of Taipei City. The research had been done through theory-based evaluation to evaluate the implementation, the process and the outcome of the experimented schools that put the project into practice.
Documentary analysis of qualitative data and interviews were conducted in this study for formulating the program change theory. Questionnaires targeting at the teachers of the 31 trial schools at 96 Academic Year in Taipei City were designed and 778 questionnaires were distributed to carry out the investigation. Data from the questionnaires were statistically analyzed with SPPC for Windows 12.0 packaged software..
According to the findings of the study, conclusions are synthesized as follows:
I. The implementation of implement theory “teachers’ discussion on program” works the best.
II. The implementation of implement theory is between “majority” and “all”.
III. There is a significant difference in the teachers’ perceptions of implement theory in trial schools due to the differences of the participants’ position, the experience of the program, position in the program.
IV. Teachers have the highest perception of program theory “being contributive to teachers’ reflection”.
V. There is a significant correlation among “teachers’ work seniority”, “school size” and the program theory “facilitating teachers’ professional growth”.
VI. There is a significant correlation among “teachers’ professional growth activities”, “teachers’ discussion on program” and the program theory “facilitating teachers’ professional growth”.
VII. There is a significant correlation between “evaluators at school arrange teacher in-service according to the whole teachers’ demand based on the outcome of professional development evaluation” and the program theory “facilitating teachers’ professional growth”.
Based on the above-mentioned findings, several suggestions are offered for the authorities of educational administration, elementary schools, and future research.
