自主管理推動學校改進之個案研究─以高中優質化為例

Abstract

優質化輔助方案是我國為符應十二年國民教育政策所推動的學校改進方案，實施至今已近十年，而審核各校申請通過與否的準則之一即是各校在自主管理的規畫與實施，足見自主管理機制對於推動方案的重要性。 據此本研究乃主要探討自主管理機制對學校實施改進方案的影響，故以兩所北區高中作為個案，透過學校改進理論與學校本位管理理論為理論基礎，以歸納兩所個案學校承辦優質化輔助方案的模式、策略與成效，並以此分析自主管理機制對學校改進的意義與重要性。 研究過程採取文件分析與訪談方式蒐集資料，而訪談對象包含兩所學校參與方案的校長、主任、兩位組長、以及兩位專任教師，共12位教育人員，而綜合文獻探討及訪談研究結果之結論如下：

壹、學校持續推動改進方案目的在於回應變動中的教育與社會環境。 貳、學校自主管理的變革者是策動學校自主改進的重要關鍵。 參、自主管理機制可以調控學校改進的整體運作。 肆、自主管理具備回饋機制，促使學校轉型為學習型組織。 伍、校本變革者的使命感是學校持續推動改進的動因。High School Actualization Program is a school-improvement program promoted in seeking to implement Taiwan’s twelve-year basic education policy. This program has been applied for nearly a decade. One of the major standards requested applicant schools to adopt and practice the school-based management in each individual school. This requirement indicates the importance of school-based management to promoting such programs. Hence, this research aims to investigate the effects of school-based management to the operation of school improvement programs, studying two high schools in the northern part of Taiwan as cases. Based on school improvement and school-based management theories, the model, strategy, and efficacy of school actualization program in the two studied cases were inducted, and the importance and purpose of school-based management to school improvement were furthermore analyzed. The research procedure adopted document-analysis and interview as data collecting methods. Twelve educational staffs in total were interviewed, including two principals from two case-schools, office director, two section chiefs, and two teachers, all of whom had participated in the above mentioned program. The research results are as follows:

1.The needs to promote school improvement programs derives from challenges of the changes in national policy and education environment. 2.The key to promoting school improvement programs lies in school change-agents. 3.The anticipated effects of school improvement could be made and adjusted through the actualization of school-based management. 4.School-based management includes functions of reflection and modification, enabling the sustainability of school improvement programs. 5.The mission for education is key to sustain High School Actualization Program.
