The Industrial Schools Act introduced State coercion into the ‘childcare’ of the colony, and industrial schools became legal enforcers for other welfare institutions. This thesis provides an account of two industrial schools in nineteenth and early twentieth century New South Wales, focusing on the children and the lives they lived within the institutions and relying heavily upon primary sources. NSS Vernon enrolled destitute, neglected and delinquent boys. The curriculum, combined with an elaborate system of rewards, proved effective as reformative agents and after 1911 the ship’s coercive function was taken over by other reformatory schools and by a system of probation. About one third of girls admitted to ISG Newcastle were older, sexually delinquent girls. Inappropriate site, inadequate preparation, insufficient and untrained staff, lack of suitable curriculum and denial of support from the Colonial Secretary led to total failure of the school. Physical and verbal abuse was in evidence at Newcastle and resurfaced after the change of enrollments to mostly older girls about the time of the school’s transfer to Parramatta in 1887. After 1905 committals were aimed at maintaining street order and parental authority, to house the ‘uncontrollables’ and ‘incompetents’ and to provide a lock hospital for the control of venereal disease. The expressed purpose of the school to provide ‘good useful women’ dovetailed neatly with the introduction of probation, mostly for boys, which was enforced ‘through the mother’ / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

本研究旨在瞭解國民小學校長營造學習共同體與教師教學效能之間的關係。除瞭解國民小學校長營造學習共同體及教師教學效能之現況，分析不同背景變項在校長營造學習共同體及教師教學效能之差異情形外，亦探究校長營造學習共同體與教師教學效能之相關程度，以及探討校長營造學習共同體對教師教學效能之預測情形。 本研究採問卷調查法，研究對象為宜蘭縣國民小學主任、組長、級任教師及專任教師，共發出300份問卷，有效問卷計258 份，可用率達86%，問卷回收後分別以描述性統計、t 考驗、單因子變異數分析、Pearson 積差相關、多元逐步迴歸分析等統計方法進行研究。根據研究結果與分析後歸納之結論如下： 一、國民小學校長營造學習共同體表現為中高程度，其中以「學生學習共同 體」之知覺程度最高，「家長學習共同體」之知覺程度最低。 二、學校教育人員知覺教師教學效能為高程度，其中以「教學評量」之知覺 程度最高，「教學計畫」之知覺程度最低。 三、宜蘭縣國民小學以偏遠地區、學校規模在12班以下之學校教育人員知覺 「校長營造學習共同體」的程度較高。 四、宜蘭縣國民小學以偏遠地區、學校規模在12班以下之學校教育人員知覺 「教師教學效能」的程度較高。 五、不同程度之國民小學校長營造學習共同體在教師教學效能上有顯著之差 異。 六、校長營造學習共同體與教師教學效能有顯著之正相關，知覺校長營造學 習共同體程度愈高，則教師教學效能則愈高。 七、校長營造學習共同體對教師教學效能具有正向的預測力。 最後，本研究根據研究結果，提出相關建議，俾提供教育行政機關、國民小 學校長以及未來研究參考。 / This study aims at discussing the relationship of principals’ reform schools into learning community and teachers’ teaching effectiveness of elementary schools.The first is to expore the reality for principals’ reform schools into learning community and teachers’ teaching effectiveness.Second, investigating the differences of background variables among principals’ reform schools into learning community and teachers’ teaching effectiveness.Third, to analyze the relationships among principals’ reform schools into learning community and teachers’ teaching effectiveness.Finally, researching predictive power of principals’ reform schools into learning community on teachers’ teaching effectiveness. The research adopts the questionnaire method. The main participants of the questionnaire survey are administrators in elementary schools inYilan County. The total number of questionnaires that were distributed to school is 300, and 258 of which are valid. That is, the percentage of availability is around 86%. The collected data is analyzed through the statistical method of descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and Multiple stepwise regression analysis. The findings of the study are as follows: 1. Principals have medium-high performance on pricipals’ reform schools into learning community. The score is the hightest in the dimension of “students’ learning community " and the lowest in the dimension of " partents’ learning community." 2. Administrators in Yilan elementary schools perceptions the teachers’ teaching effectiveness as high. The score is hightest in the dimension of “instructional assessment " and the lowest in the dimension of “instructional plan." 3. Administrators in Yilan elementary schools where in remote districts, or scale under (including) 12 classes,perceive principals’ reform schools into learning community higher than others. 4. Administrators in Yilan elementary schools where in remote districts, or scale under (including) 12 classes highly perceive the teachers’ teaching effectiveness. 5. Principals’ reform schools into learning community in Yilan elementary schools with different dgree on the teachers’ teaching effectiveness is significantly different. 6. The relationship between principals’ reform schools into learning community and teachers’ teaching effectiveness is positively correlated.The higher principals’ reform schools into learning community is, the higher perceptions of the teachers’ teaching effectiveness. 7. The principals’ reform schools into learning community have the positive predictive power on teachers’ teaching effectiveness. According to the above conclusions, the research is to provide some suggestions as future references for the institutions of education administration and schools.
