選擇台灣兒童美語補習班之關鍵因素探討 / Taiwanese Children’s English Cram Schools:吳曉怡, Wu,Hsiao Yi Sylvia Unknown Date (has links)
選擇台灣兒童美語補習班之關鍵因素探討 / We all know that English is the most spoken language all over the world. Students in Taiwan are required to learn English in elementary school. Parents notice the importance of English and start sending children to English cram schools. However, how should parents pick a school that is suitable for the children? The objective of this research is to indentify the key factors that influence parent’s decision while picking English cram schools for children in Taiwan. The methodologies used in this research are focus group, mystery shopper, and online survey. The goal of the focus group is to find out what factors parents consider while choosing English cram schools. The mystery shopper would visit different schools and act as a parent searching for school for the child. To verify the analysis one step closer and to find out the public’s recognition of English cram schools, an online survey was conducted. After analyzing the data, this research indicates a conclusion that the main factors that influence parent’s decision are the learning environment, teaching quality and attitude, long-term management and commitment, and price. Bigger chain stores have strong marketing positioning and brand recognition, however, that doesn’t mean better service and quality or the final decision to pick the cram school. In the short run, large chain stores not only gain the business opportunity, but also earn the profit as they wished. Nevertheless, in the long run, parents would notice the inconsistency and unsatisfying services and eventually switched to a smaller privately owned schools that hires experienced and professional teachers. The relationship between the cram schools, parents, and teachers are very important. Therefore the best outcome for the children and for the parents to find the best school is to get a balance of all these factors. This research pointed out problems that most parents might not have noticed before. Parents put a lot of effort in their children’s education and a large portion of the household income goes to the children’s tuition. There is a big market for English cram schools in Taiwan, and large chain schools have done well on marketing the school. In order to keep and maintain the walk-in customers’ business, the larger chain stores could focus more on the quality control and provide a survey or questionnaire for the parents periodically to get their feedback or suggestions. Thus for the smaller privately owned schools to differentiate themselves and get the public’s attention, they could spend more on advertising and selling the school by showing parents that they only hire experienced and professional teachers from North America or Canada. Then the children and the parents will get the best outcome in learning English and getting the services and quality they paid for.

補教業從業人員勞動權益之研究-以台北市升學文理補習班為例彭佳文 Unknown Date (has links)
我國補教業,無論是文理補習班,抑或是技藝補習班,皆與許多民眾的求學、考試、工作、就業,乃至於休閒、娛樂等,發生直接或間接關係,其對整體社會發展的影響可說既廣且深。本研究欲透過文獻探討與個案訪談進一步分析補教業從業人員勞動權益之問題,以及瞭解補教業在教育改革政策下的發展現況為何。
研究發現補教業人員乃適用勞動基準法。本文則針對以下幾點勞動權益的核心問題加以探究:部份工時人員與童工問題、兼任教師之契約關係、工時與工資問題、勞動契約終止與退休問題、勞工保險問題、集體勞資關係等,並就此提出對勞、資、政三方之建議。而研究更發現近年來投入補習班經營者愈來愈多,補教市場不僅蓬勃發展且競爭相當激烈,但未來補教業更要面對的問題是少子化所帶來的衝擊,良好的勞資關係與人力運用將成為永續經營上的關鍵因素。

台灣補習教育經驗之研究 / A Study of Cram School Experience in Taiwan欣怡, Rebecca Gourrier Unknown Date (has links)
一國如在教育上過度強調以學業為導向,就會出現具有雙刃劍角色的補習現象通常會,一方面幫助學生在學術能力測驗中取得高成就,另一方面限制了學生的創造性發展。部分學生因為在普通學校中無法取得足夠的知識和技能,故而轉向補習班為測驗做準備。尤其在英語科目成為主要考核科目之後,補習班的項目也因此更加多元。本研究旨在關注台灣補習教育何以在1990年代教改之後,依然擴張的現況,補習班如何從日常學習的補充角色,轉向台灣中學生教育中的必要部分。研究者針對補習班英語教學方法進行探討,透過對補習班經營者、教師和補習學生進行深度訪談,來瞭解他們的相關經驗。研究結果發現,補習班經營者意透多元與另類等途徑,聘請英語教師,來提升教學的創意。至於教師的訪談發現,英語教師通過嘗試新的教學方法來幫助學生在學業方面取得更好的成績,但是這種方式存在一定的局限性。本研究印一步發現補習班教師包括來自英語國家的和非英語國家,即使某些補習班老師並未取得教師資格證書,但在學生看來比一般學校的英語任課老師更加優秀。值得注意的是,大多數學生認為補習班的教學方法與一般學校相差無幾,但是學生滿意度明顯高於主流學校英語教師。本研究進一步確認補習班因商業利益等考量,許多訊息備受保密,使得研究者難以獲得一套完整的教學方法和學生經驗。 / In an academically oriented nation, there is a realization that attending a cram school can be double-edged, as they often offer great outcomes in students’ academic achievements especially with their test scores but they can also limit students’ creative development. Unable to obtain sufficient knowledge and skills for tests in mainstream schools, students have commonly turned to cram schools for examination preparation. Educational reforms enforcing English as a main examination subject greatly diversified the possibilities for tutoring and in fact helped cram schools’ diversification. The study focuses on the phenomenon of the influx of cram schools, and how it’s no longer a supplement, but instead a necessity of a secondary student’s education in Taiwan. This study starts with investigating the cram school phenomenon, as well as to discuss the teaching methods used in English classes. Finally, data has been collected through in-depth interviews among cram school owners, teachers and former attendees to look at their experience in cram school . The results of the study shows that the cram school owners approved the necessity to enhance creative teaching through alternative methods so as hiring teachers with supplementary talents. The teacher interviews revealed that trying new approaches to teaching have helped students achieve better outcomes academically, but sometimes only to a certain extent that is why cram schools can be double-edged. The paradox of this study is the cram school teachers’ qualifications for both native and English speakers. In fact, even though they may not have any teaching qualifications, cram school teachers are described by students as being better teachers compared to the ones in regular school. Significantly, the study discovered that a majority of students find cram school teaching methods in general so as the overall experience to be more satisfactory than with mainstream school The study finally showed that gaining information about cram schooling can be difficult as there is some secrecy surrounding it. This prevented the researcher from gaining a complete picture of cram school teaching methods and students’ experience.

補習班成人學生之內外控人格特質、不確定感、社會支持、考試因應策略與生活適應關係之研究成靜傑 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討補習班成人學生之內外控人格特質、不確定感、社會支持與考試因應策略對生活適應影響的歷程。
研究樣本係自台灣北、中、南區補習班抽樣512位至21至48歲的成人學生。以「簡式內外控量表」、「準備考試不確定量表」、「社會支持量表」、「考試壓力因應行為量為」和「生活適應量表」為研究施測工具。所得資料以次數分配、相關分析、徑路分析等統計方法處理。
研究結果發現,在補習班成人學生的生活適應方面,內控傾向較高、社會支持較多及採取問題導向因應策略者其生活適應狀況較佳,而不確定感較高及採取情緒導向因應策略者,其生活適應較差。在壓力因應策略的使用方面,內控傾向較高和社會支持較多者較傾向採取問題導向因應策略,不確定感較高者較不傾向使用問題導向因應策略。而內控傾向較低、個人內在不確定感較高和工具性社會支持較高者,則較傾向採取情緒導向因應策略。
其次,以徑路分析解釋內外控傾向、社會支持、不確定感和壓力因應策略對生活適應之影響的研究結果指出,工具性社會支持和個人內在不確定感會透過問題導向因應策略而影響學習適應。內外控傾向、工具性社會支持、情緒性社會支持和個人內在不確定感會透過情緒導向因應策略而影響身心適應。此外,影響補習班成人學生學習適應的主要因素是個人內在不確定感和工具性社會支持,而影響身心適應的主要因素則是情緒導向因應策略和個人內在不確定感。亦即個人內在不確定感較低以及工具性社會支持較高的補習班成人學生在學習適應方面的狀況較佳,而較不採取情緒導向因應策略以及個人內在不確定感較低的補習班成人學生在身心適應方面的狀況較佳。顯見不論是在學習適應方面或身心適應方面,個人內在不確定感在影響補習班成人學生的生活適應上扮演著重要的因素,此發現可供往後在壓力或生活適應方面的相關研究加以繼續進一步探討。
針對以上結果,提出綜合討論及後續研究在對象、方法、工具以及變項上的建議,並對補習班學生之壓力因應及生活適應、補習班對學生之服務、教育主管行政機關之管理等方面提出建議。

英語教師如何於正規及非正規專業發展領域發展個人職能概念:一位教師的敘事研究 / Developing professional identity as an English language teacher in formal and informal professional development contexts: a narrative inquiry李星瑩, Lee, Sin Yin Unknown Date (has links)
本質化敘事研究旨在探討英語教師如何於正規及非正規專業發展領域中發展個人職能概念。研究對象為一位擁有多年補教與國高中教學經驗的英語教師。研究方法主要包含研究對象的口說敘述及半結構式訪談,目的在於完整記載研究對象之動態專業發展歷程。資料分析方式採用¬「整體─內容」分析法 (Lieblich, Tuveal-Mashiasch, & Zilber, 1998)與「關鍵事件」方法 (Webster & Mertova, 2007)。研究結果顯示,研究對象之教師發展出自於其主動作為並連結至其認為之與教學相關之要務。其中引領研究對象教師發展之關鍵為其個人與其所在之補教或學校場域的互動關係。也就是說,她如何看待及解讀場域中有關於教學與教師之價值,並以此價值為基礎發展個人職能概念。此外,研究對象之教師職能概念為一螺旋型過程,其過程強調一學習過程之結束引領另一新的學習發展;於專業發展領域之互動中動態發展。另一方面,藉由研究對象於正規與非正規學校場域中發展職能概念之經驗對照,本質化個案研究對於宏觀之正規及非正規教育系統在協助教師發展的設計,目前所面臨的兩難獲得更深入的了解。本研究期許針對教師教育、甚至於教育政策持續改善,提供可能之方向,使其更能符合教師於個人職能發展的實際需要。在本研究最後,針對於研究結果提出教學與研究上之建議做為參考。 / This study explores the development of an English teacher’s professional identity across formal and informal educational contexts. The informant invited in the study is an English teacher who has cross-contextual professional development experience. Data collection methods primarily included an oral narrative and semi-structured interviews in order to document the dynamic professional development trajectory of the teacher informant. The data collected were analyzed with a holistic-content method (Lieblich, Tuveal-Mashiasch, & Zilber, 1998) and a critical events approach (Webster & Mertova, 2007). The findings of the study indicate that teacher development is undertaken by the teacher herself and her concerns. What is really critical in guiding teacher development is the interaction between the teacher and her contexts; namely, how the teacher perceives and interprets the value of teaching and the meaning of being a teacher from the contexts, which is the basis to develop her professional identities. Furthermore, teacher professional identity is constructed dynamically as a spiral process in interaction with contexts. A better understanding of the tensions existing in the macro-level formal educational system is also obtained in the comparison with formal and informal professional development experience of the English teacher in the study. The study provides a possible direction for further improvement of teacher education program and for educational policy reforms to better take care of the actual professional development needs of teachers. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications as well as suggestions for future research are also provided at the end of the thesis.

平衡閱讀教學對英語初學者字母知識、語音覺識 、及閱讀態度之影響-以台灣補習班 / The impact of BRI on the letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and attitude of EFL beginners in a Taiwan cram school.王寶佳, SHIRLY Unknown Date (has links)
視英語為第一外語的學習,一直是學生生活中一個重要的課題。英語的使用變的更為普遍,以位於東亞國家的台灣來說,就已經開始重視英語的教學。然而,大部分的家長仍不滿意孩子們的英語能力,因此,而產生了所謂的補習班。為了增進學生的閱讀能力與態度,任何一種有效的教學策略都是值得探討的。本研究的主要目的之一,便是了解平衡閱讀教學的出現,如何增進國小學生英語學習的效能。而實施行動研究的目的,主要是為了確認平衡閱讀教學的效果。在為期五個月的前導研究完成後,其研究成果便成為正式研究的基礎架構。本研究之對象為15位台北市國小一年級參加補習班的學童。研究結果顯示,平衡閱讀教學對於增進學生字彙的認知能力、語音覺識與技巧有所幫助,同時,也能大幅增進學生學習英語的自信心。除此之外,平時就有參加補習班的學童進步的程度也明顯大於未參加的學童。然而,為了增進教學的效能,系統化的發音教學範例在幫助教師制定更為合適的教學計畫與學習內容上,是極為必要的。
關鍵字:平衡閱讀教學、字母知識、語音覺識,閱讀態度,英語初學者。 / English language learning as the first and foreign language has always been an important factor in a child’s life as a student. As the usage of the English language becomes ever more apparent, East Asian nation like Taiwan has started to place much focus on its teaching. However, many parents in Taiwan are still unsatisfied with their children’s English abilities where they gained from formal school, hence the so-called cram school. In order to improve student reading ability and attitude, any effective teaching strategies are worth exploring. The main objective of this study is to determine how balanced reading instruction will enhance English learning effectiveness among EFL beginners. An action study was done in order to identify teaching effects of a balanced reading instruction. A pilot study was first accomplished, which later served as the backbone of the formal study. Participants were fifteen first graders at an English cram school in Taipei. Data collections were gained from abecedarian reading assessment, reading attitude questionnaires, observations, interviews and recordings methods. Results showed that balanced reading instruction is helpful in enhancing students’ letter knowledge, phonological awareness and increasing the students’ reading attitude. In addition, students who attended class in the cram school regularly improved better than those who did not. However, in order to improve teaching efficiency, more systematic phonics teaching are needed in order to help teachers make appropriate teaching plans for the EFL beginners.
Keywords: balanced reading instruction, letter knowledge, phonological awareness, reading attitude, EFL beginners

台灣私立幼教機構外籍英語教師任職動機之研究 / The motivations of foreign English teachers in Taiwan's private preschools湯培睿 Unknown Date (has links)
在國際化趨勢中,台灣政府推動英語教學,來提升國人成為 「終身學習者」。為了達成上述目標,台灣政府允許公立與私立學校聘用以英文為母語的外籍教師,尤其在私人的學前教育機構與補習班等,經常可看到這些外籍教師。由於家長對於子女提前接受英語教育的期望,造成市場的需求,導致政府英語教學政策和民間需求,存在著相當的落差,導致許多私立學前教育機構為了維繫市場競爭力,規避政府的法規,聘請英語非母語的外籍教師任教。本論文旨在探討為何許多來台外籍人士,無論本身是否具有合格師資與英語母語條件,在台灣冒著被驅逐出境的風險,以學前教育工作為首選,從事合法及非法打工,而非選擇其他的工作機會?本研究以英語外籍教師為主要對象,採用質性研究法,運用「計畫行為理論」作為研究架構,先透過12個先導性調查,進行初步資料分析,再經由10次深度訪談,以及80份問卷調查,了解外籍教師的看法。本研究根據計畫行為理論中的變項,包含:態度、主觀規範,以及認知行為控制等項目,分析在台外籍人士何以選擇到學前教育機構,任教英語的行為動機,及其背後原因。本研究發現,學前教育備受來台外籍人士歡迎的原因,包括:台灣學前教育階段英語教師市場需求大,教學資格門檻不夠嚴格、入行容易,薪資待遇佳,尤其是學前教育階段特殊的教學方式,能夠提供較具彈性的上班時間與生活方式,都是造成學前教育機構吸引來台外籍教師任教的原因。研究進一步發現,台灣的教育政策至今仍缺乏對於學前教育機構外籍英語教師聘用等方面,有效的管理與輔導。本論文最後建議,台灣公部門必須對於所有相關機構與個人,諸如:學前教育單位、英語為母語及其他外籍教師、與學生家長等,進行明確的規範,落實學前教育英語教師的任教資格、加強本地雇主與外師之間勞資雙方工作條件的透明度、甚至落實對非法雇主的取締及違法者處分等,都是改善台灣學前教育英語學品質,保障學童受教權及外籍教師工作權的重要途徑。
