本研究旨在探討新北市特色小學之經營效率，本研究使用資料包絡分析法對於新北市47 所特色小學的經營效率進行分析，投入指標與產出指標係來自文獻探討及專家審題後取得。投入指標包括師生比、職生比、用人經費與資本門經費四項投入項；在產出指標的選取上，本研究選用遊學人次、參訪人次、特色學校課程與活動時數與媒體報導次數四項產出項。本研究期望描繪出最真實的新北市特色小學經營成果現況，並了解新北市特色小學在各投入指標與產出指標之績效變化。此外，本研究運用Mann-Whitney 檢定，探討新北市特色小學依背景變項分類為偏遠小學及一般小學後的經營差異。 本研究之五項重要實證結果如下： 一、新北市特色小學中有17所總技術效率屬相對有效率 在99學年度新北市特色小學資料中，在研究樣本的47所小學中，共有17所學校在效率值上達到相對有效率境界。 二、新北市特色小學總體經營無效率同時受規模因素、技術因素影響 以資料包絡分析法所定義的兩大效率來源論之，新北市特色小學總體經營無效率，同時受於「規模因素」與「技術因素」影響。 三、職生比為影響經營績效的關鍵因子 在投入變項中，「職生比」的敏感度最高，為影響經營效率之關鍵因子。 四、特色學校對於每一個產出項都應重視 在產出變項中，「媒體報導次數」的敏感度最高，為影響經營效率之關鍵因子，但其他三項產出指標對於效率值影響也很大。 五、一般學校與偏遠學校經營表現無明顯差異 在99學年度新北市特色小學經營效率分析中，可發現一般學校與偏遠學校在經營表現尚無明顯差異之處。 最後依上述研究結論，提出具體建議，以作為新北市特色小學、新北市教育局及教育行政機關參考運用。 / The purpose of this study is to explore the operational efficiency of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was conducted to analyze the operational efficiency of 47 featured elementary schools in New Taipei City. The input indicators and output indicators were obtained from literature review and expert review. The four input indicators were teacher-student ratio, staff-student ratio, human resources budget, and capital budget; the four output indicators were study tour person/times, visitor person/times, specialty school courses and activity hours, and media report instances. The findings can be used to accurately depict the operational conditions of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City, and understand the performance changes in input indicators and output indicators of these schools. In addition, Mann-Whitney test was conducted to examine operational differences of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City, as classified according to background variables into remote elementary schools and general elementary schools. The five important empirical results are described as follows: 1. The total technical efficiency of 17 featured elementary schools in New Taipei City is relative efficiency. The data on featured elementary schools in New Taipei City for 2010 academic year, suggest that among the 47 elementary schools in the research sample, 17 schools reached relative efficiency. 2. The overall operational inefficiency rate of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City is simultaneously affected by size factors and technical factors. According to the two main sources of efficiency as defined by DEA, the overall operational inefficiency rate of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City are simultaneously affected by “size factors” and “technical factors.” 3. Staff-student ratio is a key factor that influences operational performance. Among input variables, “staff-student ratio” has the highest sensitivity, and is the key factor that influences operational efficiency. 4. Specialty schools should emphasize each output indicator. Among output variables, “media report instances” has the highest sensitivity, and is the key factor that influences operational efficiency, but the other three output indicators also have major influence on the efficiency value. 5. There are no significant differences between the operational performance of general schools and remote schools. The analysis of operational efficiency of featured elementary schools in New Taipei City for 2010 academic year found that, it is possible to find that there are no significant differences between general schools and remote schools in terms of operational performance. Finally, suggestions are proposed based on the above research conclusions, to serve as a reference for featured elementary schools in New Taipei City, Bureau of Education in New Taipei City, as well as educational administrative authorities.
