本研究探討公立國民小學校長選用制度問題中,除嘗試發展出傳統派任制、徵可派任制、固委遴聘制、參與遴聘制、遴報認可制等五個較具代表性的典型方案外,並建構校長選用制度的評估準則,做為評析比較各項替選方案的依據。 從國民小學校長、主任、教師、學生家長、教育行政學者專家、地方教育行政人員等類群體,在問卷中對校長選用制度各項評估準則及其相對權重,以及對校長選用制度不同方案優劣得失等問題之意見資料,本研究獲致以下結論。 1.校長選用制度應考慮背景、輸入、過程、產出等方面的適切性,評估準則包括必須要能符應環境背景或思潮、能吸引人才願意參與競爭、評選人員具有專業知能、評選人員具有代表性、使用有效的鑑別方法與資料、程序客觀公平公開、程序簡便可行有效率、要能獲致適當的人選、要能提昇校長辦學績效、以及要能避免負面效應等。 2.評估準則相對權重高低不同,各類受試者間對於校長選用制度評估準則相對權重的看法並無明顯的差異,不過各類受試者群體內部看法則有較大的歧見。 3.不同的關注點上各有不同的適當方案,不同的校長選用制度各有其優劣得失。 4.不同受試者對各方案在各項目上優劣得失的看法具有差異性,不同群體對不同方案各有偏好。就整體受試者調查結果而言,偏好於參與遴選制。惟校長群體以及有意願擔任校長職務的教育人員,明顯偏好傳統派任制,與非校長群體、無意願擔任校長職務的教育人員所偏好的參與遴聘制,意見形成相當對立的局面。 5.校長選用制度的決策面臨困難,必須進一步試探或整合各不同立場群體的意見。必要時,應在各群體認為的最佳方案之外,另外以如徵可派任制或固委遴聘制等折衷式的方案,做為最適方案來進行決策考量。 依據研究發現,本研究對於教育行政以及未來的相關研究分別提出若干建議事項。
This study tries to investigate the issues about the system of principal selection of public primary schools in Taiwan. Five programs are developed as the alternatives for the system of principal selection, they are: traditional-appointment program, consultative-appointment program, non-participate selection program, participate selection program, and selection-approve program. And ten criteria for assess the strength and weakness of the system of principal selection are offered. In order to inquiry the opinion of some groups about these issues stated above, a questionnaires is developed to gather data from principals, director, teachers, parents, educational administration professors, and educational administration officials. The findings of this study includes: 1. The system of principal selection must consider if it is appropriate on the dimen-sions of context, input, process, and product. The criteria of evaluation include: it must fit the background and the trend of thought; it must attract people to serve as principal; it must invite the evaluator who has expertise about principal selection; it must invite the evaluator who represent every stakeholder; it must gather effective information and apply discriminating method to analysis these information; its selection process must be objective, fair and open; its selection process must be simple, feasible and efficient; it must selection and promote appropriate candidate; it must promote principals to achieve more merits and contribution; it must avoid some undesired consequences. 2. The weightiness of each criterion is different. There are no great gaps for the estimate of weightiness of each criterion among these groups, but in each group. 3. The appropriate program for principal selection depends on the criteria. Each program has some strength and weakness. 4. The appraisals for five programs on the criteria and the favorite program are different among every group. The participate-selection program is the most favorite program for the entire participators, the groups of nonprincipal, and the group who has no aspiration to serve as principal. The traditional-appointment program is the most favorite program for the group of principal and the group who has aspiration to serve as principal. There are great gaps between these groups. 5. It is difficult to decide what is the best program for principal selection, further exploration and integration is needed. If necessary, some compromising programs(e.g. consultative-appointment program or non-participate selection program)must be assessed and considered again. According to the findings of this study, some suggestions are offered for the office of educational administration and the researches about principal selection in future.
