碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育研究所 === 89 === The main purpose of this study is to explore the concept of the learning organization, to introduce researches related to the learning organizations, and to analyze the strategies of implementing the learning organization. After summarizing all the literatures stated above, the researcher lays out a set of strategies for implementing the learning school. This study has invited professionals from different fields to give their opinions for the strategies proposed by this study through Delphi techniques. The researcher summarizes subjects’ opinions to propose a set of strategies well recognized by the professionals. As for the last chapter of this study, the researcher proposes some suggestions for implementing the learning school. To obtain the research purposes stated above, the researcher adopts Delphi techniques as the main research method. The researcher probes the basic concepts of the learning organization, including the principles and frameworks of building up the learning organizations and the school cases applying the learning school as the first step to conduct the research. According to the literature review, the researcher develops the questionnaire as the research tool, which is mainly about the strategies for implementing the learning school. As for the research process, the researcher invites professionals from different fields, including six scholars at collages, 30 school educators, 3 educational administration officials, and 2 parent representatives. This study takes three months to complete the Delphi study for three rounds. There is no one dropping out from the study. The researcher uses the statistical analysis and interpretive skills to discover the changes through the three rounds. Lastly, the researcher combines the result of literature reviews, the finding of the study, and personal opinions, to propose conclusions and suggestions for strategies about implementing the learning school. The conclusions of the study are as follows, 1. The “learning’’ concept of the learning school is not passive but active. 2. Building up the learning school is the beginning of the educational reform. 3. Principals are critical components of building up the learning organizations. 4. The strategies of building up the learning organizations are interrelated. 5. The framework of the strategies of building up the learning organization is horizontally and vertically developed. According to the conclusions stated above, the suggestions of this study are as follows, 1. Setting up the pilot group to implement the learning school. 2. Discussing the school visions to lead the school improvement. 3. The concepts of the school environment design should be closely connected to the vision of the school. 4. The five disciplines should be used as the start of developing teacher professional development. 5. Principals should pursue personal and school mastery. 6. The educational bureaus should be the pioneers and the guards of the learning school. 7. Suggestions for further studies are: (1) As for the research content, adopting one of the five disciplines for further exploration is recommended. (2) As for the research methods, qualitative methods are worth trying. In other hands, the researchers can trace the process of implementing the learning school by case study. Moreover, narratives, one of the qualitative methods, which emphasizes the importance of improving mental models and team learning, is highly recommended. (3) As for the research subjects, community members and the stakeholders of the school can be invited. (4) As for the research result, the strategies proposed by this study can be put into practice to verify its feasibility.
