Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 100 === This study aims to explore matters of fact and relationship about the literacy for lifelong learning and the teacher efficacy of junior high school teachers in New Taipei City. In addition, I also conduct the analysis of differences among these context variables.
In order to reach the goal, I made official questionnaires based on theoretical literature and through the pre-test. In this study, I target Junior High School teachers in New Taipei City via quota sampling. I issued 460 questionnaires and a total of 385 questionnaires were collected and return ratio is 83.7%.
The conclusions are as follows:
1. Average level of the literacy for lifelong learning of Junior High School teachers in New Taipei City is upper middle.
2. Average level of the teacher efficacy of Junior High School teachers in New Taipei City is upper middle.
3. Among context variables, gender, educational background, years of service and different job positions will cause the differences regarding to the literacy for lifelong learning accordingly, but there is no significant influence when it comes to age.
4. Among context variables, age, educational background, years of service and different job positions will cause the differences regarding to teacher efficacy accordingly, but there is no significant influence when it comes to age.
5. The literacy for lifelong learning is proportional to the teacher efficacy which means if teachers are highly motived to engage in learning, the teacher efficacy will be increased accordingly.
6. The literacy for lifelong learning of teachers predicts the teacher efficacy, and the skill of lifelong learning literacy is the most explanatory power.
According to above conclusions, my suggestions are as follows:
1. Suggestions to administrative offices:
(1)They should attach the importance to lifelong learning for teachers and in order to enhance the teaching efficacy, they should also open more relevant
camp programs or seminars for teachers.
(2)Build the reward system and the advisory center for teacher learning.
2. Suggestions to schools:
(1)Share practical teaching experiences via regular teaching meeting. Strength mutual exchanges between senior or junior teachers.

(2)Develop the learning initiative and enforce accessibility to lifelong learning and various community sources.
4. Suggestions to future researches:
(1)Per study objects, I suggest to extend the range for other teachers from other cities or schools at all levels.
(2)Per study methods, besides other traditional ways, I suggest to collect data via observations, visits and so on.
(3)Per context variables, I suggest to focus on apparent variables causing difference to conduct further researches and through adding items of variables, we can conduct more complete analyze research.
