Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系在職進修碩士班 === 98 === This study was aimed to find out the history of the development of swimming ability test in our country as well as the effects and development of students’ swimming ability test, and to investigate the problems related to students’ swimming ability test. With document analysis method and in-depth interview method, this study made a research into the case of the students’ swimming ability test given in National Taichung First Senior High School to find out the practical test problems and put forward concrete and effective strategies in the hope of finding out the problems coming along with the promotion and implementation of swimming test and their solutions as a reference for schools and swimming lovers to advance the quality for swimming teaching and swimming skills. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: 1. The promotion of swimming test in our country and its present facts:Based on the statistics compiled by Ministry of Education, since the promotion of swimming test in our country, students’swimming ability has greatly improved, with the number of deaths caused by drowning decreasing every year. If the promotion continues, it will have a positive effect on the enhancement of swimming ability on the condition that while the hardware constructions are gradually being developed and bettered, the need for software plans, teaching, management and personnel can be satisfied and well designed. 2. The promotion of swimming test in National Taichung First Senior High School and its present facts: National Taichung First Senior High School’s swimming plan, passed by the School Sport Development Committee, is divided into four categories: (1) swimming teaching, (2) swimming test, (3) water sports competition, (4) swimming camp. Besides, the standard for swimming test set by National Taichung First Senior High School was higher and the effects were better. However, since the implementation of its swimming test, such bottlenecks as poor facilities and lack of manpower have gradually arisen, and, to further upgrade students’ swimming ability, these problems and their surrounding obstacles remain to be solved. 3. The effect of the implementation of swimming test made by Ministry of Education on the swimming ability test in National Taichung First Senior High School: The swimming ability test was implemented in National Taichung First Senior High School earlier than that by Ministry of Education, and, with normal swimming teaching, general test and the promotion of related water activities, the swimming ability of the students of National Taichung First Senior High School was better than the national average swimming ability proclaimed by Ministry of Education. As for the mutual effects, how a school makes a choice between pursuing its characteristics and following the policy is decided by itself; nevertheless, plans made by Ministry of Education still has a far-reaching effect of schools.
