摘要

技職教育體系在我國經濟發展過程中扮演極重要的角色，隨著國家整體發展之轉變，技職體系所面臨之壓力亦迥異以往，而技職校院未來之永續經營關鍵，則實在於學校競爭力之高低。本研究之目的在於以實證分析方式，探討我國技職校院學校競爭力之內部及外部決定因素。研究結果顯示學校競爭力之內部條件中，公私立校院並無太大差異，均以教師教學表現及課程規劃爲最主要決定因素；而外部條件中，公立校院視政府獎補助經費爲最主要決定因素，然私立則視未來人口成長率爲最主要決定因素。此外，就未來之發展而言，若政府減少法規上對於技職校院之干預，似對於提升學校競爭力較具正面之影響。

The purpose of this research is to examine the determinants of competitiveness with a focus on Taiwan's HTVE system. Determinants of internal and external factors were identified. Results found that faculty teaching performance and completeness of Curriculum design were the major determinants of internal factor. Financial support from government was the most influential determinant of public institutions in external factor, yet private institutions considered population growth rate was the most important one.
