本研究旨在探討桃園縣國民中小學教師道德推理與品格教育效能感的關聯性。本研究採用調查法進行研究,以「教師道德推理測驗」及「品格教育效能感問卷」為研究工具,並以桃園縣公立國中小教師為研究母群。問卷共發放550份,有效問卷434份,有效率為78.9%。問卷回收後分別以描述統計、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關及迴歸分析進行資料分析。依據研究發現,歸納出以下結論: 一、桃園縣國民中小學教師道德推理個體差異大。 二、桃園縣國民中小學教師品格教育效能感呈現中上程度。 三、不同個人背景變項的教師,其道德推理無顯著差異。 四、不同年齡、任教階段、任教年級或任教年資的教師,其品格教育個人教學自我效能存在顯著差異;不同任教階段的教師,其品格教育一般教學自我效能存在顯著差異;不同年齡、任教階段、任教年級的教師,其品格教育效能感整體效能存在顯著差異。 五、教師道德推理與品格教育效能感之間具有顯著正相關。 六、教師的道德推理可顯著預測品格教育效能感。 根據上述研究結論,研究者提出幾項建議,做為教育行政機關、學校單位、國中小教師、家長及未來研究之參考。
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of teachers’ moral reasoning and efficacy for character education in Taoyuan county. This study adopted survey research. The questionnaires were consisted of two scales: “teachers’ moral reasoning”, and “character education efficacy belief ”. The sample was teachers of elementary and junior high schools in Taoyuan county. The questionnaires were mailed to 550 teachers.

The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and regression analysis. The major findings were as follows. 1. Teachers’ moral reasoning was similar compared to other teacher group. 2. Teachers’ efficacy for character education was above the average level. 3. Teachers with different background variables did not differ significantly regarding their moral reasoning. 4. There were significant differences in teachers’ personal teaching efficacy (PTE) for character education in terms of age, teaching level, teaching grade, and length of service. There were significant differences in teachers’ general teaching efficacy (GTE) for character education in terms of teaching level.
