Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹師範學院 === 國民教育研究所 === 86 === This research is conducted by a graduate student in graduate
school of elementary education who has taken the course credits
for elementary teaching at HsinChu Teachers College. By an
interpretive research method, the research is concerned with
four post-baccalaureate students in the elementary school
teacher education program and explores the process of students''
socialization in the stage of teacher education before launching
their teaching career. The research mainly focuses on how the
students of the program are trained to be professional teachers
and what influence the courses have on their ideology. According
to the observation of the four clients'' study within the
program, it is found that the program is, generally speaking, a
way fo teaching training with "less profession but more
ideology". This reflects not only problems of the program but
the difficulties which the teacher education has encountered.
Besides, the researcher tries to conduct an action research,
attempting to achieve personal growth and self-development
within the current system of teacher training. However, the
action research failed to reach the goal expected due to
limitation of some practical conditions. Nevertheless, the
empirical research process has led the thesis author, who will
be a teacher in an elementary school soon, to a new perception
of teaching of elementary education and has provided her an
opportunity of self-examination and self-knowledge. Finally,
by presenting current conditions and problems of the post-
baccalaureate program, the thesis is meant to draw the
authority''s attention on the program and the teacher education
and, furthermore, to urge the authority to take some action to
improve, and to solve the problems.
