「班級經營」為教師專業知能中的主要項目之一，既有研究指出了許多班級經營的指標或向度，大多以少數人理論、教學經驗或教室觀察為研究依據，而未有一致性的量化指標，本研究以實務界的角度出發，分析胡悅倫（2007）在教師甄詴口詴現場所蒐集的853道「班級經營」相關詴題，以重新建構班級經營的專業能力指標，藉此編製一份國中英語教師班級經營效能量表，作為教師專業評量之輔助工具。 研究顯示，班級經營包括五大主要項目：（1）班級實務、（2）和諧的人際互動、（3）課堂管理、（4）多元化班級經營、（5）英語教學品質。根據分析結果，本研究提出以下七點結論： 一、本研究自編量表教師效能之效標關聯效度達0.797，英語教學成果之效標關聯效度達0.605，雙尾檢定達.01的顯著水準，表示本研究自編量表可測得所欲測之特質。 二、本研究自編量表各分量表與總量表的相關介於0.86~0.95之間，顯示本研究自編量表具有良好的內在一致性。 三、研究各分量表之Cronbach’s α係數介於0.686~0.929之間，且在內部一致性團體對照法之t考驗中，各題高低分組之差異皆達顯著水準，顯示本研究具有可接受的合理信度。 四、驗證性因素分析顯示，本量表之模式為合理適配，五個分量表「班級實務、和諧的人際互動、課堂管理、多元化班級經營、英語教學品質」彼此顯著相關，且背後可萃取一個更高階的潛在因素—班級經營效能。 五、判別分析Hit Ratio值為0.86，代表本研究自編班級經營效能量表能有效區別出高效能與低效能之英語教師。 六、不同性別、年齡、學歷背景、特教背景、英語教學研習時數、服務年資、導師年資、導師態度之英語教師，其班級經營效能有顯著差異，包括以下數點： （一）女性之英語教學品質顯著優於男性； （二）年紀較長、服務年資、導師年資較資深者之班級經營效能各量表皆顯 著優於年紀輕、服務與導師年資較資淺者； （三）一般大學畢業之教師，其班級實務優於師範大學畢業者； （四） 有基礎特教背景之教師，其班級人際互動顯著優於無特教背景者； （五）參加較多次英語研習之教師，其班級經營各量表皆顯著優於參加較少 次者； （六）越喜歡瑝導師之英語教師，其班級經營各量表表現越優異，且導師態度 可預測11.5%的班級經營效能。 七、不同學校地區、班級人數、每週授課節數之班級，其英語教師之班級經營效能有顯著差異，包括以下數點： （一）台北縣之英語教師，其班級經營各量表皆顯著優於台北市英語教師； （二）人數在21~35人之班級，其教師之人際互動、課堂管理皆顯著優於人數 35人以上之班級； （三）每週授課節數在3~4節最佳，其教師之人際互動、課堂管理、多元化班 級經營皆顯著高於7節以上之班級；而每週授課5~6節之班級，其教師 之人際互動、課堂管理亦顯著優於7節以上之班級，但多元化班級經營 則顯著低於3~4節者。 根據上述結論，本研究提供五點建議：（1）班級教師應正視班級內學生的多樣性、（2）班級經營的各影響面向皆應受到重視、（3）本量表可作為英語教師增進班級經營效能之參考、（4）教師應不斷自我精進、（5）學校班級應控制班級人數與每週上課節數。 / "Classroom management" is a main dimension of teacher’s professional knowledge. Most dimensions that former researches demonstrated are based on educational theories, teaching experience and classroom observation from few researchers. Therefore, this study goes from a practical perspective. By analyzing 853 classroom management related items, which were collected from junior high school teacher selection interviews, a measurement of classroom management of English teachers in junior high school can be made as an effective tool for evaluating teacher’s professional knowledge. Classroom management can be organized into five dimensions, including classroom practice, harmonious relationship among students, parents and teachers, classroom discipline, diversified classroom management, English teaching quality. According to the study, there are seven findings as follows: (1) The criterion-related validity of this research for teacher efficacy is up to 0.797, and for English learning achievement up to 0.605. It reaches .01 level of significance under 2-tailed test, which shows the self-establishment classroom management efficacy measurement can examine the attributes that we want to find out. (2) The correlative coefficient of the sub-scales and the scale from 0.86 to 0.95 shows very good coefficient value and good internal consistency of the self-establishment classroom management efficacy measurement. (3) The subscale of internal consistency Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the self-establishment classroom management efficacy measurement ranges from 0.686 to 0.929. According to the t-test of internal consistency group comparison, the high score group and low score group reaches a significant difference. The two result shows reasonable reliability of the measurement. (4) The model confirmatory factory analysis shows that the model of this study is reasonably fit, with five dimensions including classroom practice, harmonious relationship among students, parents and teachers, classroom discipline, diversified classroom management and English teaching quality. We can even extract one latent variable from the five dimensions—classroom management efficacy. (5) The hit ratio value of discriminant analysis is 0.86, which shows that using this self-establishment classroom management efficacy measurement, we can distinguish high efficacy English teachers from low efficacy English teachers. (6) The junior high school English teachers’ background demography including gender, age, educational background, special education background, English teaching improvement courses, teaching age, class teacher age, and class teacher attitude reach a significant difference, which shows as the following: (a) Females’ teaching quality is better than males’ (b) Those with older age, longer teaching age, longer class age are better in all subscales than others. (c) Those graduated from normal university are better in class practice than others. (d) Those with basic special education are better in harmonious relationship among students, parents and teachers than others. (e) Those who attend more English teaching improvement courses are better in all subscales than others. (f) Those who are more willing to be class teachers are better in all subscales than others. The class teacher attitude can expect classroom management efficacy by 11.5%. (7) The junior high school background demography including school location, class scale, course number within one week reach a significant difference, which shows as the following: (a) English teachers in Taipei County are better in all subscales than English teachers in Taipei City. (b) English teachers with classes of 21~35 students are better in harmonious relationship and classroom discipline, than English teachers with classes of more than 21~35 students. (c) English teachers with 3~4 courses for one class within one week are better in harmonious relationship, classroom discipline, diversified classroom management than others. Building on the above results, this study made the following four suggestions: (1) class teachers should pay more attention to the diversity within students; (2) all dimensions of classroom management should be taken seriously; (3) this measurement is an effective reference and tool for English teachers; (4) teachers should always keep learning and improving; (5) student number within one class and course number within one week should be moderately limited to a proper one.

本研究目的為檢驗在低結構化口試情境中，應試者的人格特質，如五大人格、自我監控、自我效能與口試結果之關係。 本研究採取問卷調查法進行，分成研究一與研究二，研究場域為北部某縣市高中職教師甄選，研究一的研究對象為該場教師甄選的口試委員，共27名，所採用的研究工具為「中等學校教師甄選口試現況調查問卷」；研究二的研究對象為參加教師甄選第二階段口試的應試者，共216名，有效問卷214份，研究工具為「性格自評量表」、「自我監控量表」、「一般自我效能量表」。 研究結果指出在本研究場域教師甄選口試屬低結構化狀態，應試者自評的五大人格、自我監控、自我效能分數與口試結果未達顯著相關。 研究建議在辦理教師甄選實務工作上，朝提高口試結構化方向努力；在未來研究上，應注意社會期許效應的控制、擴大樣本的特性及人格測量方法的檢證。 關鍵詞：口試結構化、教師甄選、人格特質、口試結果 / The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the interviewee’s interview outcome and his/her personalities presented in such measures as Big Five, Self-Monitoring, and Self-Efficacy. The interview in which the interviewees are involved is a low-structured situation. The data of the research are collected from a senior/vocational high school teacher test in one of Taiwan northern counties. The research is divided into two sub-researches—Sub-research 1 and Sub-research 2, and different questionnaires are used to collect research data in the sub-researches. The subjects of Sub-research 1 are 27 committee interviewers, who are asked to do the “Questionnaire for investigating the applicants’ interview performance in the senior school teacher test.” The subjects of Sub-research 2 are 216 applicants, who are approved to interviews. The measures used in this sub-research include “The Scale of Big Five,” “Revised Self-Monitoring Scale,” and “General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale.” Of all the applicants, 214 samples are collected. The findings show that in the low-structured interview situation there is no significant relation between the interviewee’s interview outcome and his/her scores gained from the chosen measures. For the future programs in selecting new teachers, a high-structured interview is suggested. For the future research on this topic, the effects of the social expectation, the characteristics of the subjects, and the personality measures should be paid attention to. Key word：structured interview、teacher selection、personality、interview outcome

本研究目的旨在探討國中教師甄選口試，背景變項（口試委員特徵、應試者特徵、應試者學經歷）及口試委員心理因素（應試者儀容舉止、應試者受喜愛程、應試者教師專業、口試委員類我效應），如何影響國中教師甄選口試評價結果以及這些因素與口試評價結果間的因果關係模式。 本研究採用問卷調查法進行，研究工具為「口試評量表」。資料蒐集的對象以93年度台北縣、台北市及桃園縣擔任國中教師甄選之口試委員為對象。參與本研究之口試委員共78位，每位口試委員口試應試者的人數3至23人不等，共回收口試評量表883份，有效量表844份。每位口試委員填答之量表以10份作為本研究原始資料選取之基準，共選入有效量表570份進行資料分析。 根據資料分析的結果，本研究獲致結論如下：（1）口試委員口試經驗、教育程度、職務，應試者教育背景、任教領域等背景變項對口試評價結果有顯著影響。（2）本研究建構之「國中教師甄選口試決策模式」，獲得實證資料驗證。模式中各心理因素對口試評價結果之總效果以口試委員類我效應最強，其餘依次是應試者受喜愛程度、應試者教師專業、應試者儀容舉止。 / The purpose of my study aimed at investigating how the background variables (interviewer characteristics, applicant characteristics, the educational background and past experience of the applicants), the interviewer’s psychological factors (the appearance and behavior of the applicants, the likability of applicants, teacher specialty of the applicants, and the perceived similarity of the interviewer), influence the interview assessment of the teacher selection in junior high school. And how the relations of cause-effect modeling between those mentioned-above factors and the result of interview assessment are formed. The survey is used and the instrument is the Interview Assessment Form. The objects of data-gathering are those who are the interviewers of junior high school teacher selection in Taipei County, Taipei City, or in Taoyuan County, in 2004. A total of 78 interviewers participate in my research, and each interviewer has 3 to 23 interviewees. Thus, a total of 883 Interview Assessment Forms are collected, 844 of which are effective forms. The average ten Assessment Forms answered by each interviewer are chosen as the standard of the choice of original data, and a total of 570 effective Assessment Forms are selected for data analysis. According to the result of data analysis, the conclusions of my research are as follows: (1) Such background variables as the interviewer’s interview experience, level of education, job position, the educational background of the applicants, and teaching fields have significant influences upon the result of interview assessment. (2) The decision model of the interview of junior high school teacher selection well developed in study is verified by well-examined data. From the analysis of Structural Equation Modeling, the strongest influence of the psychological factors upon the total effect of interview assessment is the interviewer’s perceived similarity, followed by the likability of applicants, teacher specialty of the applicants, and the appearance and behavior of the applicants.

As in the case of many other local and overseas teacher-training institutions the Postgraduate Certificate of Education programme (PGCE) at the University of Pretoria is a model rich in experience. In this model 60% of the time is devoted to a school-based programme and 40% to the university-based programme. The school-based programme is presented in association with schools. The student teacher is placed in a school for a period of seven weeks and assigned to a teacher who acts as the mentor teacher. The mentor teacher serves as a the link between teaching theory and subject content and also plays a major role in the contextualisation of the classroom learning experiences. The university prescribes various tasks: mentor teacher have to stimulate the inquiry skills and reflective practices of student teachers, manage meta-communication across situation and role, manage learning tasks and create a safe and challenging learning environment to the students. The mentor teacher should therefore not only be a subject specialist in his or her field of specialisation but should also create the opportunity for student teachers to maximise their potential. In this study the focus is on the experience of the teacher taking up the role of a mentor teacher. To fulfil the role of mentor teacher implies that an exchange of identity needs to take place from teacher identity to mentor teacher identity. This prompted the following research question: What is the identity image of a mentor teacher? With subsidiary questions as <ul> <li>What are the identifying characteristics of a mentor? </li> <li>What are the identifiable dynamic processes or stressful situations that have an impact on the identity formation of a mentor?</li></ul> The research could be identified as qualitative in the interpretative paradigm. Data were collected by means of open-ended questionnaires and in-depth interviews with selected mentor teachers and student teachers. The student teachers assigned to the selected mentors were automatically included in the study. The study was repeated for over a period of three terms, each term with two different teachers and student teachers. To analyse the data, Gee’s (2000-2001) four perspectives of identity, namely nature-identity, institution-identity, discourse-identity and affinity-identity, were used as analytical framework. The results disclosed many indicators supportive of mentor-identity but no fixed mentor-identity emerged. However, the characteristics, functions and responsibilities of a successful mentor in this case study were identified. These characteristics, functions and responsibilities defining the identity of a mentor teacher, could support the school in selecting teachers to take up the role of mentor teachers. In an extended school-based teaching practice the quality of the experience, in most cases, depends on the mentor teachers' beliefs and attitude towards the task. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted
