教育組織是一個極度複雜的系統，其中利益團體互相對抗，各次級系統交錯其間，變革若要成功，則天時、地利、人和諸變項皆須齊備。「幼兒教育及照顧法（以下簡稱幼照法）」在幾經波折與折騰下，終於在2011年6月29日經立法院三讀通過後，於2012年元旦正式實施，並將分屬教育、內政兩部門的幼稚園與托兒所整合為教育部主管的「幼兒園」，提供2-6歲幼兒教育及照顧服務。幼托整合後的首波幼兒園評鑑於2013年9月正式施行。依據幼照法第四十五條第四項規定，直轄市、縣（市）主管機關應對幼兒園辦理檢查、輔導及評鑑。
本研究目的乃為瞭解幼兒園領導者對於幼兒園之評鑑，應如何從不同之領導理論提升園務領導效能，經整理相關理論與實證研究後，以文獻探討方式瞭解隨著幼托整合，幼兒園評鑑指標的再建構，領導者應如何提升其領導效能，帶領教學與行政團隊重新調整評鑑的方式。

Educational organizations involve extremely complicated politics of power. Groups with various conflicting interests stand in opposition to one another within a complex number of subsystems. To successfully implement educational reform, favorable circumstances such as timeliness, practical necessity, and mutual cooperation must coincide. After a period of contention and various difficulties, the “Early Childhood and Education Act” (hereinafter referred to as ECEA) finally passed the third reading in the Legislative Yuan on June 29, 2011 and was officially implemented on January 1, 2012. “Kindergartens” and “nurseries,” two types of childcare institutions that had respectively been subject to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of the Interior, were integrated and categorized under the name of “preschools.” Preschools are now under the authority of the Ministry of Education, and are defined as institutions that provide education and care to children aged 2 to 6 years. The first official preschool appraisal after the integration of kindergartens and nurseries was implemented in September 2013. According to Paragraph 4, Article 45 of the ECEA, competent municipal, county (city) authorities must perform inspections of, provide assistance to and conduct evaluation of preschools within their jurisdiction.
This study aims at understanding how, in terms of preschool evaluation, preschool directors may enhance their leadership effectiveness by employing a variety of leadership theories. Upon the compilation and organization of relevant theories as well as the implementation of empirical studies, the researcher intends to explore the re-construction of the evaluation indexes after the integration of kindergartens and nurseries through literature review. The researcher also seeks to understand how preschool directors should enhance their leadership effectiveness and how they should redirect the teaching approaches and administrative management methods of their institutions to better fulfill current standards of evaluation.
