摘要

本研究旨在發展學前階段特殊教育教師（簡稱學前特教教師）因應策略與工作壓力之評量工具、分析不同背景學前特教教師因應策略與工作壓力之差異，以及因應策略與工作壓力之關係。研究發現，學前特教教師因應壓力策略包含「延宕處理」、「情緒調適」、「尋求支持」與「解決問題」四個方法，工作壓力包括「管教學生」、「親師合作」、「同事關係」、「行政支援」與「工作負荷」五個向度。不同背景學前特教教師因應策略與工作壓力無明顯差異；惟，「情緒調適」、「尋求支持」，以及「解決問題」可有效抒解學前特教教師之工作壓力。根據研究發現，研究者對於學前特教教師與學生家長、行政主管機關提出因應工作壓力的改善方法，以及未來相關的研究提出可行的建議。

Also, this research aimed at developing an evaluating tool to explore both coping strategies and work stress, and compared those differences of preschool special educators' backgrounds in coping strategies when confront with work stress.

The data was acquired and analyzed through those methods of descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, analysis of variance, multiple regression analysis and path analysis.
The main findings of this research were as follows:
1. The coping strategy of those preschool special educators was a multiple constructing concept.
2. The work stress of those preschool special educators was a multiple constructing concept.
3. There were no significant differences of preschool special educators' backgrounds (such as age, regular class seniority, education level, class type) in work stress.
4. There were no significant differences of preschool special educators' backgrounds (such as marital status, age, special education seniority, whether it serves administration position concurrently, education level, school location, and professional background) in coping strategies taken by them when confronted with work stress.
