婚前教育需求調查研究－以台中市為例－

本研究旨在探討台中市未婚民眾對婚前教育需求的看法與意見。採用質量混合研究方法，將問卷調查結果與焦點團體受訪者主觀知覺到的婚前教育需求，進行討論後作成結論。本研究獲致最後結論如下：（一）應考量「家庭中角色扮演與衝突解決」、「良好的溝通」以及「婚前評估」三個層面作為規劃婚前教育方案之內容。（二）可重視與「溝通」有關的學習課題。（三）在婚前評估層面，需考量「瞭解原生家庭對於婚姻的影響」、「了解自己與家人的人格特質」二個議題。（四）在「兩性親密關係的建立」此層面，可考量「瞭解對方的親密需求」及「性關係的和諧」二個議題。（五）婚前教育需求應特別強調「學習經營良好婚姻」是實際婚姻生活中須不斷學習的。（六）「瞭解處事態度的差異」、「發展兩人精神心靈上的契合」、「個人在婚姻中的角色定位與期待」等都是婚前必須要探討的共同議題。（七）進行婚前教育方案規劃時，對於需求較高的女性、18~25歲、「專科」學歷、職業為「軍」職的未婚民眾，應優先給予課程的安排。最後根據研究結論，提出建議供家庭教育實務機構以及未來研究之參考。
