「批判思考教學師資培訓」模式之探討

A Study of Models for

為瞭解臺灣地區國民中學特殊教育資源分配之現況，本研究以臺灣地區二十三縣市官方統計資料為分析對象，進行實證分析。所使用之統計方法，除了九個公平量數外，尚包括集群分析、區別分析、單因子變異數分析及Bowker’s 對稱性卡方考驗等方法。研究結果如下：一、各縣市國民中學特殊教育資源分配現況具有不同之類型，且縣市六年間在特殊教育資源分配呈現相當穩定之狀態。二、國民中學特殊教育資源分配確實不符合水平公平之精神，且不公平的程度因特殊教育資源指標與公平量數之不同 而有所差異。三、各縣市國民中學特殊教育資源分配之現況，並不符合教育機會均等之精神。最後分別就教育行政機關與後續研究二方面提出建議。

The major purposes of this study were to find out the “best-fit ” model for teacher-training in critical-thinking instruction and， accordingly， suggest an effective training model for critical-thinking instruction. Seventy-five preservice teachers participated In this study. The employed instruments were a computer-simulation program and two Likert-type questionnaires. The applied analyses included descriptive analysis， Hotelling’s T2， and Structural Equations Modeling（SEM）. The major findings revealed that （a）an effective program for teacher training in critical-thinking instruction involves at least four factors：training-involvement level， professional knowledge， personal teaching efficacy， and teaching behavior related to critical-thinking；（b）the preservice teachers’ “training-involvement level” directly influenced their improvement in professional knowledge and teaching behavior， but indirectly enhanced their personal teaching efficacy for critical thinking；（c）the preservice teachers’ change in personal teaching efficacy was a mediator of their change in professional knowledge and teaching behavior during critical-thinking instruction.
