Summary: | 碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 特殊教育學系所 === 95 === The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that affect the practice of community-based instruction of high-school teachers of schools for students with mental retardation. Subjects in this study included 360 senior-high-school teachers of schools for students with mental retardation in Taiwan. A questionnaire titled “The Practice of Community-Based Instruction of High-school teachers of Special Education Schools” was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that female teachers, who teach in the city, with 6-10 years of teaching experiences, with a bachelor or master degree of special education, have higher rate of practicing community-based instruction. In addition, the degree of the severeness of students’ disability, the professional training teachers received, community resources, the support of administrators, and teachers’ value toward community-based instruction all affect teachers’ willingness to practice community-based instruction. Other related factors were also discussed. Finally, suggestions for the education administration, school administration, and the future research were provided.
