碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 音樂學系在職進修碩士班 === 100 === There are three main purposes for this study. To begin with, the study is to explore the effects of arts-related activities on the spiritual reconstruction of the flood-ravaged schools in southern Taiwan. Second, this study aims to understand whether there exist significant differences between teachers and students in terms of their perspectives on arts-related activities. In addition, the study also investigated the correlation between students’ acceptance of arts-related activities and spiritual reconstruction. To achieve specific purposes, the researcher first built up the theoretical foundation after reviewing relevant literature and then administered the self-adapted “The Assessment Scale for the Effects of Arts Accompanying Activities on Spiritual Reconstruction” and “Questionnaire on Arts-related Activities” to 321 students and 55 teachers in Taoyuan, Namaxia, and Jiaxian Districts in Kaohsiung City. Finally, the data from 280 students and 55 teachers in three schools was counted as valid samples and analyzed for further discussion. SPSS19 was used for data processing to conduct t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and Scheffe's post hoc comparison test and elicit descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The major findings of the study are summarized as follows: 1.There was a positive correlation between spiritual reconstruction and arts-related activities. However, the quantitative data indicated taking part in arts-related activities on a regular basis was conducive to improving family relations. 2.Most of the subjects, irrespective of gender, race, and religion, held positive attitudes towards arts accompanying activities. The study also showed teachers and students alike preferred dynamic activities in outdoor areas. 3.There was a positive correlation between spiritual reconstruction and arts-related activities for the students in hard-hit schools. The quantitative data also pointed to a strong correlation between family reconstruction and location of arts-related activities. Based on the results, the researcher made suggestions for further research in the field of spiritual reconstruction.
