本研究目的在了解資優生長大後成為資優班教師，他們對良師的定義為何，他們如何看待自己。本研究採質性研究的深度訪談法，以半結構式的訪談大綱訪談三位資優教師，研究參與者為三位任教於國小一般智能資優班教師。筆者將訪談內容轉為逐字稿，與同儕編碼者編碼後，從詮釋學找出經驗的意義，最後再由受訪者檢視編碼及詮釋。 研究結果發現以下幾點: 一、在三位資優教師眼中，良師的標準有些共同點: 充滿熱忱、像朋友般相處、有 趣的教學方法。 二、有一位教師自認已經是良師，另外兩位教師即使尚未認同良師角色，但皆願意 繼續當資優班教師。 三、三位教師認為的資優教育包含: 玩是學習的根源、延續學習經驗、培養學生能 力。 四、對三位資優教師而言，過去的學習經驗有助於課程設計、與學生和家長溝通， 但同時也面臨外界較高的期待。 最後，依研究結果對資優班教師角色認同提出三項建議: 一、包容教師的主體性與差異性，使資優教育更多元。 二、資優教育需要更多資源與經費，協助師生自我實現。 三、資優班教師需聆聽自己的聲音，找到心靈的價值。
