合作性师资培育方案中mentor表现之分析研究

A Study of the Mentors'Performance in the Partnership Practicum Program of Teacher Education

台湾自 1 997年实施“新制教育实习”措施 ,采行师资培育机构与中、小学校的合作精神 ,规定大学毕业的师资生须至学校现场实习一年 ,成绩合格后才能取得正式教师资格 ,却因现实因素而不断调整其作法 ;最近则企图取消这项措施 ,欲将教育实习融入师资养成教育的学习活动中。未来的“新制教育实习”措施无论如何实施 ,中小学在师资培育工作的重要性 ,及其与师资培育机构合作的必要性 ,势必有增无减 ,尤其为合作关系中第一线担任师资生或实习老师 (后文皆以师资生称之 )mentor的班级教师 ,他们的表现不仅直接影响机构间的合作关系与师资生的实习品质 ,也间接影响个人的教学表现、赋权 (empowerment)、专业自主的信念及专业成长。本文将具体列出mentor应协助师资生“培养教学能力及发展能力”的要项 ,以量化研究方式分别探究mentor个人及其与师资生对协助“培养教学能力及发展能力”的认知及实际表现 ,并考虑mentor的性别、教学年资、接受创新程度 (innovativeness)、焦虑及忧虑特质等因素的影响。
