本論文旨在探究在台灣社會變遷的整體脈絡下，幼兒園教師身份認同境況與轉化的可能性，期能為台灣幼教體制的改革，提供倫理、社會與政治性層面之參考，並實踐批判教育學的核心目標：個體自我與社會集體的增權益能。 論文分為五大章節：第壹章從研究者身為一位師培者的經驗做為出發點，針對台灣教育改革與幼教現場特有的文化現象，以及在此現象中幼兒園教師的存在境況進行文化反思。第貳章分別從「認同的意義與基本性格」，「論述、權力與身分認同間的辯證關係」，以及「批判教育學的宗旨」等理論蘊意與相關學術研究與普查資料，耙梳幼兒園教師認同危機之可能的路徑，尋求出路。第參章則概述目前相關研究狀況，並說明「批判論述分析」之理論基礎與具體研究策略。第肆章為資料分析。經文本分析產出：「為什麼幼教要做到這個樣子」、「幼稚園變成我的興趣 就是我的工作」、「想要『真的』去帶班」、「在那邊 我會覺得說 好像被綁手綁腳的」、「『它不我要的』生活」與「想『回家』的代課老師」等六種幼師身份認同圖像。然後從「幼兒園組織氛圍」、「師資培育課程架構與施行方式」、「幼兒教育政策體制」與「傳統文化價值觀」等面向，分析潛藏於這六教師身份認同圖像底層的論述秩序與意識型態，以凸顯幼師主體權能與社會文化脈絡間的辯證關係。最後，第伍章則從今試從「重建幼兒園師資培育課程架構與施行方式」、「尋找國家介入的合理基點」與「啟動各階層間的『對話』機制」等三個觀點進行討論與建議。 / This dissertation attempts to fully describe Taiwanese preschool teachers’ identity and explores the possibility of their transformation in a changing society. It is hoped that this study provides ethical, social and political information for the reform of early childhood policy and achieves the core objectives of critical pedagogy, that is, the empowerment of individuality and society. This dissertation includes five chapters. The first chapter starts with the researcher’s personal experience as a teacher trainer, followed by her cultural reflections on being a preschool teacher under the educational reform movement and from the preschool site. The second chapter explains the theoretical framework from the perspectives of “the meaning and significance of identity”, “the dialogue among discourse, power, and identity”, “the political implications in education”, “the development of early childhood education in Taiwan”, and “the objectives of critical pedagogy”. Chapter Three reviews the related literature and explicates the theoretical frameworks of critical discourse analysis and specific research strategies as well. Chapter Four delineates data analyses and highlights the dialectical relationship between the subjectivity of preschool teachers and sociocultural context of Taiwan. Six modes of preschool teachers’ identity were emerged from text analysis. They were: (1) Why is the preschool education so tough? (2) Preschools interest me and so I work there. (3) I want to be a devoted teacher, (4) At the current workplace, I don't feel as carefree as I did at the previous workplace. (5) I don’t want to live this way, (6) Substitute teachers want to go “home”. These six modes were then analyzed in terms of different dimensions including “the organizational climate of daycare center”, “the framework and implementation of curriculum for preschool teacher education”, “the policy of early childhood education”, and “traditional cultural values”. The analysis was to explore the order of discourse and ideology underlying the preschool teachers who narrated their stories. Finally, Chapter Five presents discussions and suggestions for educational practice with three issues, namely, “reconstruction the framework and implementation of teacher education curriculum”, “the role of government in early childhood education”, and “activation of the mechanism for dialogue between all classes”.
