摘要

本研究主要目的在於了解在職的托兒所老師對於所任職之學校氣氛的看法。本研究乃針對屏東縣美和技術學院幼兒保育系在職進修的學生進行問卷調查，期望透過托兒所教師的觀點，將所得資訊作為提升托兒所品質之參考。
主要研究工具為研究者自編之問卷調查，作為蒐集量化資料的工具，並以213位九十四學年度在屏東美和技術學院幼保系之在職保育員為研究對象。根據問卷調查結果，以描述性統計、t考驗、及單因子變異數分析等統計方法進行統計與分析。經資料分析結果，研究結論如下：
一、托兒所老師在學校氣氛部份認為她們的園所在同事關係、創新經驗與決策制定等三個項目擁有比較好的得分；但是在薪資制度、園所長支持度與硬體設備等三個項目得分較低。
二、本研究結果發現不同薪資等級的老師對薪資制度的看法有顯著差異。
三、不論是鄉鎮地區園所或市區園所的教師對薪資制度都得分較低。
四、私立托兒所在「同事關係」項目上比鄉立托兒所得分高。

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate preschool teachers' perceptions of school climate for the programs in which these teachers worked. The target population for this study was the nursery school teachers' cohorts in the Department of Early Childhood Education and Care at the Meiho Institute of Technology, Pingtung, Taiwan. A total of 213 completed questionnaires, for a response rate of 90%, were collected for data analysis.
Descriptive statistics, a one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) with Tukey's honestly significant difference, and an independent t-test were performed for the data analysis in this study. The level of significance for testing each of the hypotheses was p≦.05. The conclusions of this study are as follows.
First, the results showed that teachers were more satisfied with the collegiality, innovativeness, and decision making dimensions of school climate. However, teachers also were disappointed with the reward system, supervisor support, and physical setting dimensions of school climate.
Second, teachers with different monthly income levels significantly differed on the ”reward system” dimension of school climate.
Third, both rural and urban area programs reported lower mean scores on the ”reward system” dimension of school climate.
Fourth, teachers who worked in private programs reported a significantly higher mean score than did those in public programs on the dimension of ”collegiality”.
