碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 教育經營與管理研究所碩士班 === 96 === The case study in one certain public elementary school aims to discuss spatiality of school vision by employing the theory of the production of space and the relationship of spatiality and sense of place of school vision. The data are collected and analyzed through phenomenological interview and document analysis. The main results of this study are as follow: 1.The spatiality of school vision can be physically explained through H. Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space and D. Harvey’s analysis framework. 2.The relations between school members and physical landscape of the school in question can be understood through the theory of the production of space and analysis framework. 3.Although the school in question encompasses unique space image from its architecture, administrative organization and curriculum development, there exists gap among its members in terms of space perception. Thus, the sense of place of the school still leaves room for improvement. Based on the results, suggestions given to the school, schools engaged in school vision and future research are as follow: 1.For the school in question. The dialogue platform on vision re-thinking on campus should be positively carried out so as to encourage its members’ space imagination. 2.For schools engaged in school vision. In vision management, it is advised to analyze the spatiality of school vision by framework proposed in this study, and to evaluate and modify it when necessary. The members are to be encouraged to develop a diverse school vision, further improving the school’s sense of place. 3.For future research. To see to the internal validity, it is recommended to increase the number of case school. For research topic and content, relation between the spatiality of school vision and society can be added. As to the research methods, apart from qualitative approaches, survey questionnaire on campus can be incorporated to ameliorate the research’s trustworthiness, which will be served as a solution and pointer in the future.
