本研究旨在探討高雄地區公立幼稚教師參與在職進修方式、進修動機與教學效能之間的關係情形,並以進修動機對教學效能進行預測分析,以驗證落實在職進修對是否有助於教師教學效能提升之看法。問卷調查發現幼教師在職進修安排,教師傾向於選擇參加週三進修,且時間在週三下午,以及『部分辦公時間進修、研究』及學校『提供公假但需自行課務調整』的方式進行參與;亦較喜歡參加由自己任教園所辦理之進修活動、希望能採自願參加的方式進行、不需求經費補助。調查結果發現,幼教師的整體進修動機與教學效能均達中高級以上程度;不同背景的教師其在進修動機或教學效能兩方面均未出現顯著差異;而進修方式中,不同進修經費的補助及給假方式在整體教學效能達顯著差異;至於幼教師參與在職就修動機與教學效能則呈現正相關,且對教學效能具有一定的預測力。本研究根據結果,亦提出具體建議,供幼稚園與教師及教育行政機關在規劃幼教師在職進修之參考。
