高品質的幼兒園對幼兒發展具有重大影響，且幼兒園品質的意義隨著時代思潮的演進，其所指涉的範圍愈來愈寬廣，並有由內部導向的幼教歷程，擴展至外部導向的全面品質之趨勢。因此，幼兒園品質衡量之探討，便成為一個理論和實務兼具的重要課題。 本研究發展幼稚園品質問卷，為台北市347所幼稚園的園長與教師進行問卷調查，並利用SPSS13.0套裝軟體進行統計分析，旨在探究幼兒園品質信念與幼兒園品質之構面、園長與教師幼兒園品質信念與幼兒園品質之關係，及其相關因素之影響，並比較園長與教師在內、外部導向幼兒園品質信念差異情形。 本研究之結論如下： 一、本研究發展出幼稚園品質問卷，包含幼兒園品質信念與幼兒園品質兩量表。 二、台北市幼稚園幼兒園品質信念與幼兒園品質之現況佳。 三、教師與園長在幼兒園品質信念的差異，係受到個人特徵的「教育程度和幼教服務年資」之交互影響。 四、「幼稚園屬性」是形成教師的幼兒園品質信念差異之主要的幼兒園特徵；而「生師比」是形成園長的幼兒園品質信念差異之主要的幼兒園特徵。 五、教師、園長的幼兒園品質信念與幼兒園品質之相關均不高。 六、教師與園長在內、外部導向幼兒園品質信念之差異，僅表現在外部導向幼兒園品質信念之差異上。 七、教師與園長的內、外部導向幼兒園品質信念之一致性，與幼兒園品質無關。 八、幼兒園品質的差異，係受到「幼稚園屬性與幼稚園規模」之交互影響，以及「幼稚園規模與生師比」之交互影響。 最後研究者根據結論，就幼兒園品質之實務面與後續研究方向提出具體的建議，以期對未來幼教的發展有所助益。 / Research has shown that high ECE program quality has great effect on children’s developmental outcomes, and the concept of ECE program quality evolving over time has extended its contents from internal-oriented to external-oriented. As a result, defining and measuring ECE program quality has become an important issue, both in theory and practice. The purpose of this study is fourfold: (a) to identify the dimensions of both ECE program quality belief and ECE program quality, (b) to examine the relations between directors’ and teachers’ ECE program quality belief and ECE program quality in their own kindergarten programs, (c) to ascertain the influence of related factors, and (d) to compare the difference between directors and teachers’ ECE program quality belief, both in internal-oriented and external-oriented ECE program quality belief. For achieving this purpose, this study developed the ECE program quality questionnaire to conduct mailed surveys in a sample of 347 kindergartens in Taipei city, and the data was analyzed with SPSS 13.0 to find possible significances. The conclusions are as follows: 1.This study developed the ECE program quality questionnaire which included both ECE program quality belief and ECE program quality scale. 2.This study revealed that both ECE program quality belief and ECE program quality in Taipei kindergarten programs were good. 3.This study showed that when it came to staff characteristics, the interaction of education level and staffing experience had effects on the difference in both directors’ and teachers’ ECE program quality beliefs. 4.This study indicated that the program attribute was the main program characteristics in the difference between teachers’ ECE program quality beliefs; but to directors, the child: teacher ratio mattered in the difference between directors’ ECE program quality beliefs. 5.This study demonstrated modest relations between both directors’ and teachers’ ECE program quality belief and ECE program quality in their own kindergarten programs. 6.This study showed that teachers and directors had differences in external-oriented ECE program quality beliefs, but not in internal-oriented beliefs. 7.This study showed that the consistency of both directors’ and teachers’ internal and external-oriented ECE program quality belief had no relations with ECE program quality. 8.This study showed that both the interaction of program size and program attribute, and the interaction of program size and child: teacher ratio had effects on the differences in ECE program quality. Overall, findings from this study pointed to several relevant implications for the early childhood education practice and follow-up ECE program quality research.

教育改革近年來在世界各國蔚為風潮，而藉由市場的力量促進學校間彼此競爭是其中一項重要的理念，但促使教育市場化的結果，衍生出許多的爭議和問題。本研究以學校競爭、幼兒園品質、組織創新為主要變項，希望透過本研究來釐清三個變項間之關係，並瞭解學校競爭影響幼兒園品質、組織創新之情形。 本研究以台北市文山區和萬華區兩區立案之公私立幼兒園為實徵研究之對象，有效樣本共81份。並以描述統計、獨立樣本t考驗、單因子變異數分析及相關分析等方法來分析並驗證本研究所提出之各項假設。 本研究之主要發現如下： 一、本研究釐清學校競爭之概念內涵，並與幼兒園品質、組織創新作相關連結。 二、文山區和萬華區之幼兒園競爭程度分佈不均。 三、文山區之幼兒園競爭程度較萬華區高。 四、文山區和萬華區之幼兒園園長認為自身園所幼兒園品質之現況佳。 五、文山區和萬華區之幼兒園園長認為自身園所知識活動品質之現況尚待加強。 六、文山區和萬華區之幼兒園園長認為自身園所採用組織創新之現況佳。 七、學校競爭與服務品質呈中度正相關。 八、教學創新與行政創新呈中度正相關。 九、公立幼稚園採用行政創新比私立托兒所多。 最後研究者根據研究結論，就實務面和後續研究方向提出具體的建議，以期對未來幼教的發展有所助益。 / Educational reform has been a trend in western countries. School competition is one of the concept in market-oriented reforms. Yet, evidence on the actual benefits of market-oriented reforms is at best mixed. The purpose of the article is to integrative school competition and the relationship between ECE program quality and organizational innovation in kindergarten. A questionnaires survey are adopted for the study and were distributed to 153 kindergartens in Wenshan district and Wanhua district of Taipei City. The number of valid return rate was 54.2%. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Person correlation, t-test, and ANOVA. The results were as follow: 1. This study investigated the concept of school competition, and linked up school competition with ECE program quality and organizational innovation. 2. This study revealed that the degree of competition between kindergartens was not equal. 3. This study showed that the competition in Wenshan district was higher than in Wanhua district. 4. This study indicated that ECE program quality was good in Wenshan district and Wanhua district. 5. This study showed that knowledge activity quality of kindergarten needed to strengthen in Wenshan and Wanhua district. 6. This study indicated that organizational innovation of kindergarten was good in Wenshan district and Wanhua district. 7. This study demonstrated a positive relationship between school competition and service quality. 8. This study showed a positive relationship between instruction innovation and administration innovation. 9.This study revealed that administration innovations in public school were adopted more than in private school. Overall, findings from this study pointed to several relevant implications for the early childhood education practice and follow-up research.
