綜合高中實施現況之分析 / Analysis for the Comprehensive High School in Tawian莊耿惠, Chuang, Keng-Hui Unknown Date (has links)
自民國85年開始試辦綜合高中,至今已有5年的歷史,本研究藉由「台閩地區高級中等學校概況統計」以及教育部技職司所進行第一屆18所綜合高中評鑑資料,分析綜合高中在我國辦理的概況,進以檢測與綜合高中理念之差距。再以辦學績效為效標,探求何種學校型態最適合轉型為綜合高中,以提供主管行政機關在政策執行過程之參考。
本研究藉由單因子、雙因子變異數分析以了解目前綜合高中辦理概況;採群集分析以分辦各校辦學績效(包括:升學率、就業率、每生平均考取證照數)之差異;經迴歸分析了解導致綜合高中辦學績效良好之原因。
研究結果顯示,18所辦理綜合高中的學校中10所學校提早在高一先行分化學術或職業學程,有違延緩分化的理念。在18所學校中以巿區均設職業及普通類科的公立學校辦學績效較佳。分析有利綜合高中辦學績效的原因包括:(1)學生參加校內競賽愈多或生師比愈高(指大班級)則升學率愈高(可能因為巿區學校多有較高的生師比),而學生加註主修職業學程愈高則升學率愈低;(2)擁有第二專長的教師比率愈高或學生加註主修職業學程愈高則就業率愈高;(3)學生參加校內競賽次數愈多、網路查詢電腦數愈多、教師著作比率愈高則學生考取證照愈高,但是平均每生補助款愈高,學生考取證照比率卻愈低,值得政府注意。因此,建議教育主管機關,不應多以獎勵補助的方式來協助現有高中職轉型,更應嚴格限制受補助學校的資格要求,以避免申辦學校僅為補助而非為實現綜合高中之理念。 / Comprehensive high school(CHS) has been formally established in Taiwan since 1996. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the profile of CHS in Taiwan and examine the disparity between the practical and ideal models based on High Schools Statistic Compilation in Taiwan Area」 and the evaluation reports of the 18 CHSs gathered by the Ministry of Education. Moreover, taking the school achievements as criteria, this research suggests which format of high school is more suitable to be transformed to CHS. Thus the result could be the reference to our Ministry of Education during the executive process.
This research uses one-way and two-way ANOVA to interpret the CHS general situations and Cluster Analysis to determine the achievement levels of 18 CHSs including the proportion of students entering school in higher level, employment rate, and the average rate of getting technical certificate per student. Also, the Regression Analysis is utilized to analyze the characteristics of higher performance CHSs.
It is found that 10 of the 18 CHSs have devided students separately into academic-oriented and vocational-oriented groups in tenth grade which basically against the spirit of the comprehensive high school. The public schools in urban area applying both vocational and academic programs have better achievements. The reasons for better achievements of CHS include:(1) The more willingly the students join inner-school contests and the higher student-teacher rate a school has, the more students enter higher education level. It might be the urban schools normally with higher student-teacher rate. On the contrary the more students major in vocational program, the less the proportion of students enter higher education level. (2) The higher rate of teachers equipped with second speciality and the students majoring in vocational program, the higher the employment rate. (3) The more students take part in contests, the number of computers a school has for students to surf on the Internet, and the number of literature of teachers have published, the higher rate of getting technical certificate per student is. Conversely the more subsidy for each student doesn't guarantee higher rate of getting technical certificate per student. Therefore, the Ministry of Education should not use the subsidy as the main way to assist schools to transform, furthermore it ought to confine closely the qualification of the subsidized school to avoid those schools only looking for the subsidy but not the ideal of CHS.

The Study for the benefit of the senior high school student nearby school enrollment policy--An example of the north districts of Kaohsiung CityChen, Chang-jui 17 July 2008 (has links)
Taiwan has enforced the educational reforms since the academic year of 1994. One of the policies is expand the chance for further education by means of increasing the senior high schools and launching the comprehensive high schools. From academic year of 2001, the policy of high school integrating with local community was undertaken, the core objectives are balancing the gaps between the urban and country districts and promoting the educational quality of the general and vocational high schools. Therefore the government encouraged the students attend the nearby schools to save the social costs and set up the fundamental for the 12-Year Compulsory Education. The enrolment rate of the junior student graduates have been over 96% in the recent years. If the student has the will for further education, the chance is almost 100%. However, the pressure of enrolment has never eased off or calmed down. Because the pursuits for the ¡§elite school¡¨ have never faded off among the mind of the general public. The expectation for entering the ¡§elite senior high school¡¨ for the students and their parents is to seek a better opportunity for superior social class. They do not understand the objectives of diversified social values and hindered the students to seek for their best development by their talent and orientation.
Even thought, can the ¡§elite senior high school¡¨ guarantee a ticket to the higher education? The study focus on the junior high school graduates with the same score level of the basic competence test comparing the differences on their academic performances, motives for further education and their reception of education according their different choice of attending schools 3 years after the graduation.
The major findings are as listed below:
1. The students who chose the nearby schools they have better grades for the Academic Attainment Testing for university than the students who attend the schools located on different districts.
2. Most of the senior high school students choose their attending school on the preferences of the conventional social values (according the traditional ranking of high schools). The second consideration is the traffic, the reputation of school and the faculties. The incentive of high scholarship is the latest consideration of choosing school. The key for the student chose to attend the schools nearby is on the schools¡¦ high quality educational environment and their good tradition and the word- of- mouth reputation.
3. Most of the students¡¦ satisfaction for the attending schools lied on the ¡§non-academic performance¡¨ and the second lied on the ¡§teacher¡¦s caring on students¡¨ and ¡§good school reputation and tradition¡¨. The least items lies on ¡§high scholarship¡¨ and the ¡§academic performance¡¨.
The study concluded with some suggestions on the enforcements of the ¡§academic district allocation¡¨ and ¡§nearby school enrollment¡¨ for the 12-Year Compulsory Education.
Key words: nearby school enrollment; cross academic district enrollment; comprehensive high school

最後,本文依據研究結果,提出老師英語教學上之應用及未來研究之建議。 / The purpose of this study was to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by comprehensive high school students in Taiwan. There were three questions focusing on the differences of use frequency of vocabulary learning strategies between academic-oriented and vocational-oriented students, the strategy use rank between these two groups of students, as well as the relation between vocabulary achievement and vocabulary learning strategy use frequency.
A total of 648 students in Taipei City and Taipei County participated in the study. A vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire and a vocabulary achievement test were applied as instruments to obtain the data needed. Data from the students’ responses were computed and analyzed by means of independent-sample t-tests, descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s rank correlation.
The findings of this study were summarized as follows.
1.There was a significant difference in vocabulary learning strategy use frequency between academic-oriented students and vocational-oriented students. The former applied more determination strategies to discover the meaning of a new word, and more memory strategies to consolidate the words encountered.
2.The ranking order of use frequency in vocabulary learning strategies by academic-oriented and vocational-oriented students was identical. In Part 1 (discovering the meaning of a new word), determination strategies were used most frequently, then followed by social strategies. In part 2 (consolidating the words encountered), cognitive strategies were used most frequently, followed by memory strategies, metacognitive strategies, and the last, social strategies.
3.There was a significant difference between good learners and poor learners in vocabulary learning strategy use frequency. Good learners applied more vocabulary learning strategies than poor learners to know an English word’s meaning.
Based on the above results, some pedagogical implications for English teachers were developed and suggestions for future research were provided at the end of the study.

綜合高中分流政策對學生學習成就的影響 / Effects of comprehensive high school policy on students’ achievement: evidence from taiwan education panel survey李敦義, Lee, Duen Yi Unknown Date (has links)
我國自1996年起開始試辦綜合高中,迄今已有十餘年。試辦綜合高中的目的在於促使我國後期中等教育能在高中、高職之外,提供另一條不同的選擇進路,俾使學生得以適性發展,學得多方面的知識,達到適性教育的目標。過去國內關於綜合高中分流政策的研究,大都集中在探討綜合高中的辦學績效和實施困難,而非該政策對學生學習成就的影響之探討。有鑑於此,本研究進一步探討:(1)哪些因素會影響國中畢業生選擇就讀普通高中和綜合高中學術導向組;(2)就讀綜合高中的學生,其學生學習成就是否優於就讀一般高中或高職;(3)綜合高中的課程分流政策是否能減少教育階層化的產生。
原始資料取自臺灣教育長期追蹤資料庫(Taiwan Education Panel Survey)公開使用版中的第一波到第四波國中追蹤樣本資料,並使用傾向分數配對法(Propensity Score Matching)探討上述三個研究目的。研究結果發現:(1)控制其它相關因素之後,過去學習成就和家庭社經背景愈佳者,愈有可能就讀普通高中及綜合高中學術導向組;(2)在學生學習成就表現上,就讀綜合高中的學生並不比就讀一般高中或高職的學生來得好;(3)綜合高中分流政策和制度性分流一樣,都會產生教育階層化現象。最後,本研究說明本研究結果對綜合高中分流政策的意涵,及提出研究建議供後續研究之用。 / Since 1996, Taiwan government launched the policy of Comprehensive High School (CHS) to relax the traditional system of curriculum tracking at the level of the senior secondary education. A number of studies and on-site evaluation reports on CHS have been made. So far, these studies and reports focused on exploring the performance of comprehensive high schools and difficulties in implementation of the policy. No evaluation of the impacts of the CHS policy on student achievement has yet been done. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the CHS policy on students’ achievement in the upper secondary education in Taiwan. This study attempts to answer the following research questions: (1) What factors influence junior-high school graduates’ decision on attending general high schools, and the academic track in comprehensive high schools? (2) Do students enrolling in comprehensive high schools perform better academically than those enrolling in general or vocational high schools? (3) Do curriculum tracking in comprehensive high schools enhance or reduce inequality in educational achievement?
Using the data from the public released core panel data of the Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS) in 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2007, this study employs the method of propensity score matching (PSM) to estimate the average treatment effect of CHS policy on student achievement. All results of PSM analysis indicate that (1) all else being equal, students with higher prior student achievement and better socio-economic backgrounds have more opportunities to enroll in an academic track, including senior high schools and the academic track in comprehensive high schools, than those with lower level of prior achievement or socio-economic backgrounds; (2) for those enrolled in comprehensive high schools, there is virtually no gain in student achievement from the CHS policy; and (3) tracking in comprehensive high schools produce inequality in educational achievement, which is similar to tracking between general and vocational high schools.
Finally, the present study discusses the implications of the CHS policy and suggests directions for future research.

完全中學圖書館服務品質評量之研究-以台中市為例 / Service quality assessment of comprehensive high school libraries : Taichung City case studies羅玉青, Lo, Yu Ching Unknown Date (has links)
本研究採用問卷調查法了解完全中學學生使用圖書館之期望與實際感受之服務品質,藉以瞭解學生對圖書館的滿意度,作為圖書館改善服務之參考。研究首先透過文獻分析,參考圖書館的服務品質評量工具LibQUAL+,並研究國內針對高中職圖書館之相關理論,修改發展出適合高中生與國中生之圖書館服務品質評量指標,並經與學校圖書館人員及使用者進行共三場焦點團體訪談後修正指標並進一步發展為問卷。本問卷以抽樣之台中市四所完全中學學生為實證研究對象,共發出1,142份問卷,回收1,138份,回收率高達99.64%,其中有效問卷1,133份。本服務品質評量問卷共分為「空間環境」、「館藏資源與利用」、「圖書館服務」及「圖書館教育與推廣」等四大構面,共有29項指標,並採用期望服務品質及感受服務品質兩種滿意度評分差距。
本論文研究結果顯示:(一)完全中學學生期待圖書館有更豐富的館藏及提供電子資源。(二)學生到館頻率每週少於一次的高達57.8%,顯示完全中學圖書館的利用率偏低。(三)學生對圖書館感受之服務品質平均值大都在3.5以上,顯示學生對圖書館的服務大致可接受,但均未達優質服務。國中生及高中生均對「圖書館所在便利性」最不滿意。(四)不同性別對圖書館感受服務品質差異性較小,國中生及高中生對圖書館感受服務品質差異性大;國中生感受的服務品質大都高於高中生。(五)完全中學圖書館需針對國中生及高中生提出不同的服務策略。
根據上述研究結果,本論文提出以下建議:(一)運用圖書館服務品質評量加強圖書館評鑑,做為圖書館經營管理之參考。(二)加強推展圖書館利用教育,發揮圖書館功能。(三)擴充圖書館編制提升專業形象,並擴大服務範圍。(四)提昇圖書館軟硬體設備,發揮圖書館資訊服務的功能。 / This study uses the method of Questionnaire to measure the expectations and degrees of satisfaction of comprehensive high school students toward libraries. Using the method of literature review, also taking reference from Library Service Quality Assessment LibQUAL+ and relevant theories concerning high school or professional high school libraries, this study comes up with a revised index of service quality assessment suitable for junior and senior school students. After conducting three focus group interviews with school librarians and users, the researcher then revises the above-mentioned index and transformed it into a Questionnaire. This study, using students from four comprehensive high schools in Taichung City as subjects of empirical studies, issued 1,142 questionnaires, among which 1,138 were returned (the return rate was as high as 99.64%), and effective ones amounted to 1,132.The questionnaire consists of four aspects: space and environment, library resources and usages, library services, and librarian education and promotion. It includes 29 indicators, and is rated by the expected and perceived service qualities.
The study shows the following results:
1.Comprehensive high school students look forward to more comprehensive library resources as well as resources in electronic forms.
2.The percentage of students visiting libraries less than once in a week is as high as 57.8%, meaning the usage rate for comprehensive high school libraries is low.
3.The perceived quality for library service, on average, is generally above 3.5 points in a score ranging from 1-5, but not reaching the expected service qualities. Such result manifests that students find the library service mostly acceptable, but not preferable. Both junior and senior high students find ‘the accessibility of libraries’ most unacceptable.
4.Gender has relatively little effect on the difference of perceived quality of service, whereas there’s a big gap between junior and senior high school students. Junior high students tend to score higher than senior high students on perceived service quality.
