碩士 === 國立體育學院 === 體育研究所 === 88 === ABSTRACT The research was to explore perceived freedom and constraints in participating leisure activities from some elementary schools in TAM-SUI TOWN, TAIPEI COUNTY, the result shall be the reference for designing leisure education course. This research was based on the Version A of Section One’s short Form and Scale F of Section Two from Leisure Diagnostic Battery（LDB.）. The 300 samples are the sixth-grade students from 13 elementary schools in TAM-SUI town. Stratified random cluster sampling method was used to sample the students. The findings are as following: 1. The research used LISREL 8.30 to deal with the second-order confirmatory factor analysis, to check the goodness of fit to the theoretical model of the scale, so as to indicate the level of validity. The result through the analysis from confirming factors of LDB Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale and Barriers to Leisure Involvement Scale shows: The overall model fit of both scales are not good. Through deletions and many modifications, the overall model fit for both scale are as follows─Perceived Freedom Model（ =319.38，P=0.001，df=244，GFI=0.92，AGFI=0.90，CFI=0.94，RMSEA=0.03，Standardized RMR=0.05）；Barriers to Leisure Involvement Model（ = 233.44，P=0.028，df=194，GFI=0.93，AGFI=0.91，CFI=0.97，RMSEA=0.03，Standardized RMR=0.05），showing that both models have had better goodness of fit. Internal consistency test for both scales after modifications, Cronbachαare 0.86 and 0.83. As both modified scales are acceptable reliability and validity, the information from both scales could be used for further statistical analysis. 2. By means of One-way MANOVA to compare the average of boys and girls in four constructs of Perceived Freedom Model, it is not significant different between boys’ and girls’. 3. In four constructs of Perceived Freedom Model, the t-test average of boys are higher than girls in competence construct and the full scale, while there’s no obvious difference in other constructs. In seven constructs of Barriers to Leisure Involvement Model, girls have more barriers in decision construct and the full scale, while the other constructs show no obvious difference. 4. The average of full scale or four constructs of Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale and the average of full scale or seven constructs of Barriers to Leisure Involvement Scale are significantly negatively related. According to the result of the research, the researcher would like to discuss and advise LDB Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale、Barriers to Leisure Involvement Scale and the sixth-grade teachers in TAM-SUI Town to design the leisure education course.
