The Proper Strategies for Influences of Few-Generating on the Development of Elementary School Education

這些年來，臺灣整體人口結構發生了重大改變，少子化現象正衝擊國小教育發展。因此，進行少子化現象影響之探討與研究，具有相當的緊迫性及重要性。準此，本研究主要在於探討少子化現象，對國民小學教育推動之影響層面，並擬出因應之策略方向。本研究發現學齡人口減少對國小學校班級人數減少、小班小校、師資超額及校舍空間閒置等皆有影響，因此針對這些現象作深入探討；同時本研究也進一步對教育單位在因應少子化現象時，提供一些政策上的反思，最後針對國小教育發展研擬具體因應措施與建議。
