不同地區是否有差異？國民教育幼兒班實施在地文化課程之現況

Are there Differences in Various Regions? Implementation of Local Cultural Curriculum in Indigenous Area and Offshore Island Preschool Programs

本文探究國幼班教保人員實施在地文化課程的意願、方法和困境，並比較地區差異。研究對象為全台14縣市國幼班教保人員，回收有效問卷647份。研究發現，（一）教保人員大多願意提升自己的專業知能以實施在地文化課程，不想實施的主因是缺乏協同教師，自覺無力規劃在地文化課程以及不熟悉在地文化；（二）實施課程領域主要是自然人文、藝術和語言領域，內容著重於當地美食、特色節慶、自然人文景觀及農特產品；課程主要以主題教學融入在地文化或直接以在地文化為主題；主要應用資源是家長人力、社區發展協會、老舊照片或影片、當地植物；（三）最常遇到的困境是信心不足，認為自己的在地專業知能有待加強、無法即時蒐集在地資訊，或幼兒混齡年紀差距大、經驗不足。不同地區的實施意願和困境差異不大，實施方法的差異反映各地教保人員對當地特有資源的應用。
