臺灣地區之技職教育指標建構研究

A Study on the Constructing Indicators of the Technology and Vocational Education in Taiwan

技職教育在教育指標系統中顯示出它的重要性了，本報告將針對該議題進行探討，進而建構出一套有系統的技職教育指標。本報告目的希望提供教育決策者於制定教育決策時能有所依據，並希望提供相當的評鑑資訊與預測功能。它的分析架構是建立在四大範疇上，包括背景指標、輸入指標、過程指標、輸出指標，再依據上述範疇進行細部分析。本報告所依據的學校機構包括科技大學、技術學院、職業學校與綜合高中，寄發學校總計287所，回收237所。本報告最後提供教育決策者，人力資源規劃者與納稅人有更明確的技職教育訊息，也指出技職教育是需要更多的關心與資金投入。而當從事成本效益分析時，這投資的水準更需提供給納稅人與社會大眾有所瞭解。

Technological and vocational education in Taiwan is becoming an important area for the analysis of educational indicators. This project examines aspects of that analysis. It is attempted to construct a set of well-organized indicators of technological and vocational education in Taiwan. Meanwhile， those indicators can be regarded as means for monitoring the education accountability， assessing the education policies and forecasting future educational problems. Four domains this project focused on are ＂context＂， ＂input＂， ＂process＂， and ＂output＂. These domains become the main research issues while creating the indicators of technological and vocational education. The vocational schooling system is concerned in this project as well， say， universities of technology， polytechnic colleges， senior vocational schools and comprehensive schools. The total data of 287 schools were targeted as the samples sent， afterwards the data of 237 schools were returned. This paper refers that educational policy-makers and government must provide technological and vocational education and training in institutions in order to meet manpower needs. However， such training usually means a tremendous input of both efforts and high unit cost. The level of investment is always the main concern when cost-effectiveness analysis is undertaken by policy makers but also for taxpayers and other members of the public.
