摘要

本研究旨在探討幼兒園教師對於主題課程的信念及其轉變歷程，並進一步探究教師在實施歷程中面臨到的困境與其解決策略。研究者以一個實施主題課程班級中的兩位教師為研究對象。本研究採用質性的研究方法，透過觀察、訪談及文件蒐集進行資料的蒐集，經資料分析與歸納，提出研究結論如下：
一、教師對於主題課程實踐與教學的信念大致與相關文獻所主張之信念吻合；在師生互動方面，教師認為在主題課程中師生為雙向互動關係；在幼兒的學習及評量方面，教師視幼兒為主動探究者，並認為主題課程可提升教師多元評量能力；在教師角色方面，教師在主題課程中應扮演多元的角色；在親師互動方面，教師認為親師間為合作對象關係。
二、在教師對於主題課程信念的轉變歷程上，兩師對於主題選擇的考量面向皆增廣。兩師在主題課程的時間與進度規劃信念相異且在相互影響後有所轉變。另外，兩師分別在主題的規劃、兩師間溝通及對於幼兒能力差異與面臨主題突發狀況的信念上有所轉變。
三、研究對象在實施主題課程時，主要在主題課程發展階段面臨困難。而教師的困境解決策略主要為改變原先的作法。同時，老師也透過撰寫教學省思及尋求同儕協助突破教學困境。
最後研究者依據研究結果提出對於幼兒園教師、園所主管及未來研究方向的建議。
