Introducing a new subject: The case of environmental education in Taiwanese junior high schoolsYueh, Mei-Chun (Michelle) January 2007 (has links)
The introduction of environmental education in schools has been the focus of a long campaign worldwide since the late 1960s. The difficulties in teaching environmental education, including the choice of curriculum models, and the obstacles to changing contemporary schooling patterns have been well documented. The traditional process of new subject emergence has been detailed in the literature; whether or not environmental education should or could follow this traditional pattern of subject emergence in schools is the focus of this thesis. In Taiwan, the introduction of environmental education in junior high schools occurred as part of a nationwide curriculum change in 2002. This research used an interpretive approach to explore the views and practices of staff in three typical Taiwanese junior high schools at this time. The focus of the research was to study what happened at the level of classroom teaching and school development. The research program was designed to interview both administrators and teachers before, during and after the first year (2002 school year) of curriculum implementation in each of the three case study schools. Three rounds of interviews were conducted over a period of three years (Sept. 2001 - June 2004). As well as interviews, national and school documents were collected; and announcements and decisions from the Ministry of Education and schools were documented. Also, because the reform encouraged the development of school-based curriculum, a questionnaire was given to the one school which chose environmental education as their school-based curriculum in order to better understand the emergence of environmental education in this school. The findings show a paradox in Taiwanese junior high schooling: although each school placed considerable value on environmental education, the data showed that the introduction of environmental education via an infusion strategy during a time of national curriculum change had minimal impact in the three Taiwanese case study schools. A cross-case analysis indicated the reason for this failure was the lack of effectiveness of eleven supporting themes often discussed in the emergence of a new subject: the possibility of gaining external examination credit and entry to a university department; the prioritising of the subject in school timetabling and programming; the development of a systematic syllabus; the presence of proactive support from central government leadership; the provision of teacher professional development; the inclusion in the informal as well as the formal curriculum in a school; the inclusion of environmental education in non-formal education in society; the presence of clear subject characteristics and definition; the presence of substantial school-based material interests; the gaining of support from an external constituency, especially parents; and the presence of an emergence process that couples internal value evolution with external compulsion. The Taiwanese case studies raised three particular and additional themes for the emergence of environmental education, specifically: the need to set up long-term partnerships with local groups that have an interest in or responsibility for the local environment (e.g. societies, agencies and non-governmental organisations) to achieve local environment involvement; the need for a whole school approach through curriculum integration to achieve the transformative nature of environmental education; and the need to build up a sound cooperative network that includes people at all levels of the education system and society to achieve a national cooperation network. These three particular themes derived from the nature of environmental education as a holistic, integrative and interdisciplinary subject. In summary, the findings not only confirmed the themes important for the emergence of environmental education and other contemporary school subjects, but they also raised particular themes pertinent to the emergence of environmental education. When these three particular themes are not taken into account, the effective emergence of environmental education in contemporary schooling, as exemplified by Taiwanese junior high schools, will be difficult to achieve in mainstream education.

國中教師之激勵方式重要性與實現可能性認知研究-兼論其對服務士氣影響 / The importance of junior high school teachers' inspiration ways and realizing possible cognition--discuss their influence toward working attitude江聖祺 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在藉由國中教師之激勵方式重要性與實現可能性認知兼論其對服務士氣的影響之實證研究,以期瞭解教師與行政間之激勵與保健因素措施最佳認知內涵取向。
本研究採取量化研究,以文獻分析法及問卷調查方法為主,受試為桃園縣54所國民中學中,經分層隨機取樣,依比率抽取學校樣本22所,其次再以簡單隨機取樣抽取教師樣本,總共調查問卷對象計1200人。每位受試均以編製之「國民中學教師教學工作調查表」內含「教師理想的工作」、「工作士氣問卷」測試。正式施測,有效樣本1075份,分別以描述性分析、t考驗、單因子變異數、二因子變異數等統計方法進行研究分析。
研究結果顯示:
一、由國中教師之激勵方式重要性認知分析:國中教師在「學校規模」、「性別」、「年齡」、「職務」、「任教科別」、「年資」上有顯著差異。亦即:學校班級在61班以下、女性、年紀愈輕者、專任、不同領域課程、服務5年以下之教師,都認為工作激勵重要。
二、由國中教師「激勵保健」因素重要性認知得知:以「教學環境讓人覺得愉快」、「學校能尊重教師專業權威」、「教學擁有專業自主」、「能讓教師獲致自我成長的機會」、「工作職位能有適切之保障」、「同事間擁有良好的關係」等,為教師激勵方式重要性認知指標。
三、由國中教師之激勵方式實現可能性認知發現:國中教師在「職務」、「任教科別」方面對激勵方式實現可能性認知感受有顯著差異。顯示:兼任行政及專任、健康教育與體育、社會科之教師認為理想工作較有可能實現;而私校、偏遠地區之教師則認為理想工作較不可能實現。
四、由國中教師「激勵保健」因素實現可能性認知顯示:以「教師具有崇高的責任與使命感」、「教師有機會充分發揮自己的能力」、「工作職位能有適切之保障」、「同事間擁有良好的關係」、「教學擁有專業自主」、「能讓教師獲致自我成長的機會」等,為教師之激勵方式實現可能性認知指標。
五、在整體工作士氣的分析得知:桃園縣國中教師在「學校性質」、「年齡」、「職務」、「學歷」、「年資」上有顯著相關。意指:公立國中、年紀愈大、專任、研究所四十學分結業者、年資11-15年及20年以上之教師整體士氣表現較佳。
本研究之成果可為行政運作上提出有效激勵方式,以激勵教師潛能,滿足教師個別需求,提昇服務士氣之參考。 / The purpose of this empirical research is to find out the best way to inspire teachers and administrators through finding out the importance of teachers' inspiration ways, realizing the possibility of cognition, and knowing the influence of working atmosphere.
This is a quantitative research using data-analysis and questionnaire. The subjects are 1200 teachers randomly picked out from 22 junior high schools in Tao-Yuan County. Each subject has taken the “junior high school teachers' teaching investigation list” which includes “teachers' ideal work” and “teachers' working attitude questionnaire”. After the test taking, there are 1075 valid samples. Descriptive analysis, T-test, one-way ANOVA, and two-way ANOVA are used to analyze the data in this research.
The outcome are as followed:
1.The cognitive analysis of the importance of junior high school teachers' inspiration ways shows that there are significant differences on variables including “the scale of the school”, “gender”, “age”, “position”, “the course they teach”, “the years being teachers”. This means that teachers in a school scale under 61 classes, young female teachers, teachers teaching in different course fields, and being a teacher under five years all agree the importance of providing inspiration during working.
2.Analyzing from the middle school teacher' understanding of the significance of the cause,” motivation-hygiene“:using “Teaching environment will make teacher feel pleased” ,”The school will esteem the teachers' professional authority”, ”Teaching will be acted on its own and be professional”, ”Offering teachers the opportunities of self-development”,”Teaching positions should be guarauteed properly”and “Keeping good relationship among the colleagues”,as the norm of teachers' understanding.
3.The cognitive feelings about realizing junior high school teachers' inspiration ways have significant differences on “position” and “the course they teach”. This shows that teachers who teach health, physical, and social science, and teachers who also do administration jobs and full-time teachers think that it's more possible to bring their ideal jobs out to lives. Besides, teachers in private schools, and teachers who teach in remote areas think that bringing out ideal jobs is not an easy thing.
4.The analysis through the factor of middle school teachers ” motivation-hygiene“ to achieve the possible understanding:using “Teachers posses the esteemed responsibilities and missions”,”Teachers coudle elaborate their abilities and talents sufficiently ”,” Keeping good relationship among the colleagues”, ”Teaching will be acted on its own and be professional”,and ”Offering teachers the opportunities of self-development”,as the cxiterion of teachers' accomplishing the possible understanding.
5.Analyzing from the whole working atmosphere shows that junior high school teachers in Tao-Yuan County have significant differences on variables such as “the school type”, “age”, “position”, “record of formal schooling”, and “years of being a teacher”. This means that teachers in public junior high schools, older teachers, full-time teachers, teachers with master degrees, being teachers more than 20 years and from 11-15 year have better working performance.
The outcome of this research can provide effective inspiration ways on administation operating to encourage teachers' latent energy, to satisfy teachers' individual needs, and to promote their working atmosphere.

"Man kan ju klara allt bara man vill" : en kvalitativ fallstudie om framtidstro och studiemotivation i årskurs nioWinberg, Maria, Erlandsson, Jenny January 2011 (has links)
Vi har gjort en kvalitativ fallstudie på en skola och vårt syfte är att undersöka hur framtidstron och studiemotivationen ser ut hos elever i årskurs nio på en mångkulturell skola med lågt meritvärde. Våra frågeställningar är: vilka faktorer anser elever i årskurs nio på den valda skolan kan tänkas påverka deras framtidstro och studiemotivation? Hur ser sambandet ut mellan framtidstro och studiemotivation hos elever i årskurs nio på den valda skolan? Vad anser elever i årskurs nio på den valda skolan själva att man kan göra för att förbättra sin framtidstro och studiemotivation? Vi är inspirerade av fenomenologisk forskning och har en induktiv ansats. Empirin har vi samlat in genom kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer med åtta elever i årskurs nio. Vi bearbetade empirin genom att först transkribera intervjuerna, sedan sammanfattade vi varje intervju och letade efter teman utifrån våra frågeställningar. Därefter sammanförde vi de gemensamma nämnarna utifrån frågeställningarna och gjorde en sammanställning. Vi analyserade med hjälp av begreppet KASAM och dess komponenter hanterbarhet, begriplighet och meningsfullhet. Resultatet visade att alla informanterna var studiemotiverade och hade en god framtidstro. Det var mycket som kunde tänkas påverka deras motivation och framtidstro, bland annat familj, vänner, lärare och förebilder. Med hjälp av begreppet KASAM och dess komponenter kunde vi se ett samband mellan deras studiemotivation och framtidstro. Informanterna behöver förstå varför de studerar för att kunna känna studiemotivation (begriplighet). De behöver känna att de har de resurser som krävs för att nå de resultat de vill och de mål de har (hanterbarhet) och de behöver ett mål med studierna så att de känner att det är värt att investera i studierna (meningsfullhet). De kunskaper vi tycker är viktiga att ta med sig från vår fallstudie för att kunna arbeta här och nu med ungdomar i skolåldern är att förstå att skolresultaten hänger ihop med elevernas syn på framtiden. Även att tänka på att vardagen måste vara både begriplig, hanterbar och meningsfull för att ungdomen ska må bra och fungera. / We have performed a qualitative case study at a school of substandard merit. Our purpose was to examine to what ninth graders had a sense of confidence about their future success and academic motivation. The questions asked were: Which factors do the ninth graders deem influential for their own sense of confidence in future prospects, as well as what affects their academic motivation? What is the relationship between confidence in future success and academic motivation at the school? What do the students feel, can be done to improve their own beliefs about future prosperity as well as improve academic motivation? We have been inspired by phenomenological research and have used an inductive approach. We collected our data via semi structured qualitative interviews with eight ninth grade students. We processed the data by first transcribing the interviews, then we summarized each interview looking for key themes related to our original queries. Finally we consolidated the common denominators into a compilation. We did our analysis using the concept of KASAM, or ”sense of context”, as well as its' components, those being; manageability, comprehensibility, and relevance. The results revealed that all the informants were academically motivated and they each felt confident in their future outlook. There seemed to be a lot of factors that influenced both their motivation and their outlook, amongst these were family, friends, teachers, and roll models. Using the KASAM, or ”sense of context” concept, and its' components we could see a relationship between their academic motivation and their beliefs about their future. The informants first need to comprehend why they need to study, in order for them to feel a sense of educational motivation (comprehensibility). They need to feel that they have the resources needed to attain the desired results and goals that they have (manageability) and they need a goal with their studies so that they feel it is worth investing in the studies (relevance). The most important revelation that we have gleaned from our study and that we feel is of most value when working with school age youth in the here and now, is to understand how academic performance is directly related with the students perception about their future. Even everyday life needs to be comprehensible, manageable, and have relevance, in order for youth to thrive and function.

An Examination of Reading Assignments in the Secondary ClassroomLeer, Rachel Elizabeth 01 August 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this research study is to examine reading assignments given in the secondary classroom of a rural secondary school. The intention is to analyze student readiness to handle complex text found in post-secondary education and/or the workforce, based on current reading trends within the school. The research questions guiding this study focus on the average amount of reading students are expected to complete in a week, what strategic support is being provided to students to enhance comprehension of text, the methodology behind how teachers select both reading assignments and reading strategies, and finally the methodology behind how teachers assess student content learning through assigned text.
This study is broken down into three major components: teacher-completed reading logs, student surveys, and two case studies. This mixed methods data collection process revealed that students are typically assigned less than two reading assignments per class per week, however nearly half of these students indicate that they read all of an assigned text. Case study data concluded that teachers are not consistent in their methodology neither in selecting reading assignments nor in utilization of reading strategies. Finally, based on the data, it is reasonable to conclude that students in this setting may not be prepared to handle complex texts found in post-secondary education and/or in the workforce.

The data was collected by means of questionnaires, and the participants were junior high school students in Kaohsiung area. The employed instruments were to reorganize questionnaires of other people. A questionnaire including basic data, scale of online game experiences, scale of online game participation motive, scale of self-concept, scale of life adaptation, and scale of well-being was implied to the studnets of 10 junior high schools in Kaohsiung area and 887 effecitve paritcipants were obtained. Finally, the data was analyzed with the methods of Chi-square test, Independent t-test, MANOVA, Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of this study were as following:
1. At present, 68.5% of junior high students participate in online games. Among them, most students choose to play free online games at home.
2. In the online gaming participation rate, player experiences, everyday average time of playing online games and participation motive, boys are significantly higher than girls.
3. Parents don¡¦t restrict children to play online games, and then children spend longer time playing online games and the motive in playing online games is stronger.
4. Compared with the non-experience, students who have online gaming experiences have poor ¡§family self¡¨, but have better ¡§physical self¡¨.
5. Compared with students of having online gaming experiences, students who don¡¦t have online gaming experience have better ¡§life adaptation¡¨.
6. ¡§Self-assurance¡¨ dimensions, ¡§social interaction¡¨ dimensions and ¡§recreation amusement ¡§ dimensions of the online gaming participation motive toward self-concept, life adaptation and well-being are low explanation. That shows other important factors need exploring.
Finally, some practical suggestions based on the results of this study were provided to those related education organizations, teachers, parents, and researchers as the references in the future.

A Survey of the Current Organization and Training of String Orchestra at the Elementary and Junior High Schools in KaohsiungHuang, Mei-hui 08 July 2011 (has links)
To increase the trend of placing more importance on arts and humanity in the current wave of educational reform, Ministry of Education endeavors to promote the "one school, one art group" project to realize the education of the arts and humanity and to urge the necessity of interdisciplinary teaching in the art category, in combination with the "One person, one musical instrument" project to pursue a wider range of learning. In an environment that art subject and after class activities used to be neglected but now attract more attention, string orchestra is gradually being developed.
The members of junior high school and elementary school string orchestras are mostly the basic members of senior high school orchestras and even the music majors in universities. The promotion of basic string education will be beneficial to a higher level of the string music. The first chapter mainly researches into the motivation, purpose, objects, scope and method of this study. The second chapter primarily focuses on the understanding of the development of string orchestras in other countries, and the approach of development, function and meaning of string orchestras in Taiwan. The third chapter introduces string orchestras in junior high school and elementary school, including the preparation of the string orchestra, the recruitment of members, the training and the teaching materials applied in an orchestra, and so on. The fourth chapter explores the current situation of the junior high school and elementary school string orchestras in Kaohsiung city, including current teaching conditions, practicing repertoires, teaching materials, the problems encountered, and so on. Conclusion and suggestions are proposed in the fifth chapter .The development of string orchestras in Taiwan have gradually matured with an effort from many forerunners and string teachers in recent years. As a music educator, I hope that more relevant information about the teaching situations in junior high school and elementary school string orchestras in Kaohsiung City can be acquired through this study and that I can make a contribution to string music.

Elementary School and Junior High School Teachers¡¦ Social Values and Cognitive Judgment on the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Policy AdministrationLan, Wang-Feng 08 May 2007 (has links)
The Grade 1-9 curriculum policy has changed the traditional curriculum rationale and curriculum design. The large scale and profound influence of this change can be considered a revolutionary transformation during the educational process in Taiwan. The policy implementation has particularly focused on the elementary school and junior high school teachers, which involves not only the change in teachers¡¦ instructional patterns, but also teachers¡¦ professional roles as well as the transformation of their values.
¡@¡@Ideas of the Grade 1-9 curriculum policy have conveyed certain concepts. However, when the policy is implemented, a lot of details are involved, such as instructional plan, instructional method, action research, which require teachers¡¦ abilities for preparation, accompanying measures related to administration, or even the general public¡¦s and parent¡¦s questions about and support of the policy. All these have caused a lot of difficulties during the process of policy administration. Among them, the key point is whether the elementary school and junior high school teachers can identify themselves with the ideas of the curriculum reform, and dedicate themselves to implement this policy goal, which is closely tied to the substantial outcomes of this policy. Based on the context of this problem, it is worthy of a study on understanding this problem, and even resolving the problem.
¡@¡@An educational philosophy works as a basis to form a policy, and does not happen independently in the system of an educational structure. In turn, it is a response to the social context at that time, and is related to the social value system then. When the policies and ideas are implemented, a critical examination of social habits should not be ignored. In order to emphasize the policy analysis of curriculum reform implementation, if the society is considered the conceptual background of policy analysis, the policy formation can be more correctly and comprehensively understood, and can work as a basis to explain the problems due to the policy administration.
¡@¡@On these grounds, this study is based on the social concepts of the Grade 1-9 curriculum policy, and attempts to investigate the correlation between grassroots teachers¡¦ social values and the reform of the Grade 1-9 curriculum policy. The purpose is to explain the relationship between different teachers¡¦ social values and the policy of the curriculum reform, to understand cognitive differences as well as to test and verify the applicability of the methods to reduce the cognitive differences and resolve the cognitive conflicts.
¡@¡@In terms of the research method, the researcher first has referred to Inglehart¡¦s hierarchy of needs (1990:25) to measure the priority of the value index in the social values, and categories the teachers in the study into two different social value groups: materialism and post-materialism. The quasi-experimental method of the Social Judgment Theory (SJT) is applied to judge and analyze the study. The concept of ¡§V.C.S. Strategic Triangle, ¡¨ is applied to define the three indices, value-capacity-support (V.C.S.), in the Grade 1-9 curriculum policy implementation. The function and application of the lens model in the SJT, thus, are verified. It is hoped to test, verify and explain the different cognitive judgments on the beneficial results of the curriculum reform and V.C.S. policy implementation made by the teachers with different social values (criteria, cues, function form, weights, judgment policy and cognitive feedback).
¡@¡@Among the above-mentioned methods, the cognitive feedback model is especially applied to present the subjects¡¦ internal cognitive judgment on policy reference variables, for the purpose of helping the subjects to judge their level of cognitive change after they directly understand and compare their interpersonal learning with others.
The findings are as follows:
1. Teachers with different social backgrounds and conditions have different value orientations.
2. Based on the SJT method, two groups with different social values have different cognitive levels of the curriculum policy reform¡¦s beneficial results.
(1) The criteria of the curriculum policy reform¡¦s beneficial results among the subjects with different value orientations are very inconsistent, which indicates the cognitive differences between these two groups.
(2) Groups with different social values cause different function form models and weights of the three policy reference variables: ¡§V¡¨ ¡§C¡¨ and ¡§S¡¨. Materialists tend to identify themselves with the variable, ¡§S¡¨ while the post-materialists with the other two variables, ¡§V¡¨ and ¡§C¡¨.
(3) The three policy reference variables; namely, ¡§V¡¨ ¡§C¡¨ and ¡§S¡¨ among groups with different social values show lower similarity in the judgment policy.
3. After experiencing the interpersonal learning of cognitive feedback, groups with difference social values will make cognitive changes, which result in the narrowed cognitive differences between these two groups.
(1) After the cognitive feedback, the cognitive consistency with the subjects will increase.
(2) After the cognitive feedback, the actual value and estimated value of the test results among groups with different social values will have higher agreement.
(3) After the cognitive feedback, the three function form, and weights, namely, ¡§V¡¨ ¡§C¡¨ and ¡§S¡¨ among groups with different social values have been adjusted toward the cognitive orientation different from theirs
(4) After the cognitive feedback, the three cues, namely, ¡§V¡¨ ¡§C¡¨ and ¡§S¡¨ among groups with different social values show higher similarity in the judgment policy.
4. The results of the questionnaire found that groups with different social values and social attributes (such as social conditions during the growing process, family¡¦s social-economic status, age and educational background) have different levels of identification with the three indices, namely, ¡§V¡¨ ¡§C¡¨ and ¡§S¡¨ Materialists tend to identify themselves with the variable, ¡§support,¡¨ while post-materialists with the other two variables, ¡§V¡¨ and ¡§C¡¨. The research results are identical with the research results of the SJT.
