本研究旨在瞭解國內大專院校體育教師對專業進修需求、動機與阻礙因素的認知情形,同時探討其與教師個人和組織背景變項間的關係。研究者以自編的「我國大專院校體育教師專業進修需求、動機與阻礙因素調查問卷」作為資料收集之工具。以系統隨機取樣法選出415位國內大專院校體育教師作為本研究之調查對象。研究結果如下:一、絕大多數之大專體育教師(87%)自認為有專業進修的需求;具碩士學位教師進修迫切性顯著高於具博士學位者;二、較為理想的進修期程為「暑假期間」(60%),並以「週末日」(32%)較受歡迎;每次進修時間以「2-3日」(47%)較為合適;三、需求性最高的專業進修型態為「修讀學位」(67%)和參加「體育學術研討會」(66%);四、具博士學位和公立學校體育教師對「滿足期許」動機之認同情形分別顯著低於具碩士學位(含)以下和私立學校體育教師;以及五、學歷、職別、年齡、年資和任職學校屬性等背景變項分別對一項或多項進修阻礙因素的認同情形有顯著的影響。
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of the needs, motives and constraints of professional enrichment education and training (PEET) of collegiate physical education instructors in Taiwan. In addition, the study examined the effects of personal and organizational characteristics on the above perceptions. A researcher-designed instrument, ”Needs, Motives and Constraints of Professional Enrichment Education and Training Survey”, was used in data collection. A total of 415 college and university physical education instructors were involved in the investigation. The study found: (a) the majority (87%) of collegiate physical education instructors in Taiwan reported a need for professional enrichment education and training (PEET), with those having a master's degree responding a significantly higher level of need than those with a doctoral degree; (b) more instructors indicated that during the summer break (60%), on weekends (32%), and with a time length of 2 to 3 days (47%) were better arrangements for PEET; (c) attaining a higher academic degree (67%) and participating in physical education related conferences (66%) were the two most desirable approaches of PEET; (d) instructors with a doctoral degree and those from state-founded colleges or universities had a significantly lower recognition level on the ”Expectation Fulfillment” motive than those instructors with a master's or bachelor's degree or those who were employed by private institutions, respectively; and (e) educational degree, academic rank, age, years of service, and school type were significant influential variables for the recognition levels of one or more PEET constraints.
