摘要

台灣高等技職教育改制原計劃將五轉體系改制成技術學院或進而為科技大學，這項高教改制急速地增加了教師現有工作負荷的責任與義務。教師之回應顯示由1996年教育部主導之高教改制在教育理念原則下已經有正向的影響。但大多數老師對教改是否基於優良研究品質，及對台灣教育發展卻未持正向態度。不過，教師較關心能獲得更多財務補助，大多數老師並表示不考慮提早退休。整體而言，教師對教改的態度是正負向相當的。本研究發現在多原預測值基礎下，教師在決定性回答中有強烈的正向態度，但沒有一致性的預測值。

Taiwan's higher technological and vocational education (HTVE) reforms were intended to convert all traditional junior colleges into institutes of technology or universities of technology. Reforms increased instructors' responsibilities and obligations rapidly on their present workload.The responses indicated that the reforms mandated by the Ministry of Education in 1996 were already having a positive influence based on solid principles. The majority of instructors thought that reforms were neither based on good research nor addressed the common good of Taiwan. However, instructors were more concerned with gaining financial support. More importantly, a large number of instructors showed that they have not considered an early retirement. As a whole, faculty's attitude was equally divided between positive and negative.This research found no important or consistent predictability of faculty's attitude, while there existed a strong level of positive attitude among the decisive respondents based upon a multitude of predictive factors.
