本研究旨在探討有關宜蘭縣國民中、小學校長科技領導、教師資訊科技素養與教師教學效能的現況，並分別針對教師個人背景變項與學校環境變項在校長科技領導、教師資訊科技素養與教師教學效能的差異情形加以探討，再加以分析三者相關情形，最後則探討其線性關係。 本研究採問卷調查法，以宜蘭縣公立國中、小教師為研究對象，利用「國中、小校長科技領導、教師資訊科技素養及教師教學效能」線上問卷進行調查，抽取92所國民中、小學579位編制內教師為樣本。將蒐集的資料以描述性統計、t考驗、單因子變異數分析、Pearson積差相關分析及結構方程模式等統計方法進行分析。研究結果如下： 一、宜蘭縣公立國民中、小學教師知覺校長科技領導現況是屬於中上程度。 二、教師知覺校長科技領導會因年齡、擔任職務、學校類別與學校所在地不同，而有顯著差異。 三、宜蘭縣公立國民中、小學教師資訊科技素養現況是屬於中高程度。 四、教師資訊科技素養會因年齡、教育程度、擔任職務與學校類別不同，而有顯著差異。 五、宜蘭縣公立國民中、小學教師教學效能現況是屬於中高程度。 六、教師教學效能會因性別、年齡、任教科目與學校類別不同，而有顯著差異。 七、校長科技領導、教師資訊科技素養與教學效能之間有顯著正相關。 八、校長科技領導與教師資訊科技素養能影響教師教學效能。 依據上述研究結論，對學校行政領導與教學及未來研究者，提出具體建議。 關鍵詞：科技領導、資訊科技素養、教學效能 / This study aimed to explore the current condition of Yilan County public junior high school and elementary school principals’ technology leadership, teachers’ information technology literacy and teachers’ teaching efficiency, and aimed at discussing each individual teacher’s background variables and school environmental variables under the differences of principals’ technology leadership, teachers’ information technology literacy and teachers’ teaching efficiency, and I further analyzed the relationships of these three, then finally, to explore the linear relationship. In this study, I adapted a questionnaire survey method, using Yilan County public junior high school and elementary school teachers as studying object. I applied the “Principals’ Technology Leadership, Teachers’ Information Technology Literacy and Teachers’ Teaching Efficiency Questionnaire” as the online questionnaire to survey samples from 92 junior high schools and elementary schools’ 579 certified teachers. After data collected, I used descriptive statistics, t test, one way analysis of variance, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and structural equation models for analysis. The results of research are as follows: 1. Current Yilan County public junior high school and elementary school teacher’s perception on principals’ technology leadership is above average. 2. Teacher’s perception on principals’ technology leadership differs significantly because of the age, position, type of school and school location. 3. Yilan County junior high school and elementary school teachers’ information technology literacy is high. 4. Teachers’ information technology literacy differs significantly because of age, education level, position and type of schools. 5. Current Yilan County junior high school and elementary school teachers’ teaching efficiency is high. 6. Teachers’ teaching efficiency differs significantly by gender, age, teaching subjects and type of schools. 7. There is a significant positive correlation between principals’ technology leadership, teachers’ information technology literacy and teachers’ teaching efficiency. 8. Principals’ technology leadership and teachers’ information technology literacy influence teachers’ teaching efficiency. Based on the above research conclusions I submitted specific recommendations on school administration leadership, teaching and future researchers. Keywords: technology leadership, information technology literacy, teaching efficiency

The aim of this study is to investigate four teachers’ ideas and experiences of Information and Computer Technologies (ICT) in the early years of learning to read in the lower grades of school. This is done with the aid of qualitative interviews. The results of the interviews are then discussed on the basis of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. The informants work in three different municipalities in southern Sweden. The study presents research that is both positive and negative to the use of computers or tablets instead of pen and paper in the teaching of writing. The study also aims to elucidate the informants’ perception of advantages and disadvantages of ICT in teaching. The result shows that the informants have a positive view of ICT as a complement in their teaching. The informants, however, are limited by external factors such as access to technical tools and Internet connections, which causes frustration and has the effect that they get relatively little actual experience of it. The teacher’s technical competence and the age of the pupils also affect the working methods and the pupils’ assignments. / Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka fyra lärares föreställningar om och erfarenheter av IKT i den tidiga läsinlärningen, för skolans yngre årskurser. Detta görs med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet från intervjuerna diskuteras sedan utifrån Vygotskijs sociokulturella teori. Informanterna arbetar i tre olika kommuner i södra Sverige. I studien presenteras forskning som är både positiv och negativ till att använda dator eller surfplatta istället för penna och papper i skrivundervisningen. Studien syftar även till att belysa informanternas upplevda för- och nackdelar med IKT i undervisningen. Resultatet visar att informanterna är positivt inställda till IKT som ett komplement i undervisningen. Informanterna begränsas dock av yttre faktorer som tillgång på tekniska verktyg och internetuppkoppling, vilket dels skapar frustrationer, dels leder till att deras erfarenheter är förhållandevis få. Även lärarens tekniska kompetens och elevernas ålder påverkar arbetssätt och uppgifter.
