摘要

摘 要
本研究報導一個幼教男老師的真實故事，敘述這位男老師如何在幼兒教育的世界裡，尋找兒時的記憶、童年的夢想，並且在與孩子在一起的生活中找到自己的教育理念，在生活及教育中找到自我實現的方向。除此之外，也藉由這位男老師所面臨的種種處境中，來了解在幼兒教育的現場中男老師的現況、感受及處境。
本研究採用質性研究方法，利用參與觀察、深度訪談、文件分析、軼事記錄、電話等方法進行資料的蒐集。研究場域為台北地區一所擁有男老師的幼稚園，研究對象是這所幼稚園一位有九年教學經驗的幼教男老師。研究者在研究中的角色為報導人、參與者、訪談者、觀察者、學習者、省思者。
本研究發現，教師在做課程決定時受到教師的課程信念、專業素養與能力、教學態度與方法等的影響。而這些因素和教師的生活經驗、信念、價值觀及對幼教老師角色的詮釋有密切的關係。在教師生涯發展週期上，現有的理論並無法用來完全詮釋這位老師的專業發展歷程。
透過這個男老師的故事，我們更加清楚一個幼教男老師在幼教現場的景況，也期待有更多的男性能投身幼兒教育，為幼兒教育盡一份心力。

Abstract
This study is about a real story of a male teacher in the field of early childhood education, who is looking for his childhood dream, and searching for his self-esteem about the idealism of the early childhood education through the daily life with children.
This research is a qualitative research. Data is collected by observation, interview, document analysis, and anecdotal record. This research is conducted in one private kindergarten in Taipei area. Participant is a male teacher who has worked in this kindergarten for nine years. The roles of the researcher in this study are： reporter, participant, interviewer, observer, case learner and helper.
According to the research, there are factors such as teacher’s curriculum belief, professional development, teaching style and attitude, affecting this teacher’s classroom decision making. These factors also have a close relationship with teacher’s experience, personal belief, value and interpretation about the teacher’s role in early childhood education. By the way, current theories of teacher professional development can’t fully interpretate this teacher professional cycle of career development.
From this study, we can have a clear picture about the male teacher in the field of early childhood education. We will strongly suggest that more male involve in early childhood education in order to benefit our young generation.
