The main focus of this study was to investigate the role perception and role performance of high school resource room teachers. The purpose of the investigation was also to identify the factors that hinder role performance and to provide approaches to promoting role performance. In the study, the subjects were required to fill up the questionnaire designed by the researchers. There were two parts in the questionnaire: the first part included eight dimensions in the questionnaire; in the second part, there were open-ended questions for the subjects. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected. The findings of this study were summarized as follows: Most resource room teachers in senior/vocational high schools rated role perception between 'important' and 'very important' on all eight dimensions of the questionnaire, and viewed 'counseling' as the most important dimension in role perception and thought of 'identification and assessment' was rated as the least important one. The resource room teachers in senior/vocational high schools rated their role performance between 'partly-done' and 'approximately-done' on the eight dimensions of the questionnaire and regarded 'administration and planning' as the most important dimension while 'consultation' as the least important one. The result indicated there was great significance between role perception and role performance as far as junior high school and senior/vocational high school resource room teachers were concerned. Senior high school resource room teachers referred to uncertainty as the obstacle to the role perception and performance and heavy workload was another factor. The common approaches to enhancing the resource room teacher's role performance included taking part in the professional seminars, establishing the community of professional growth, and meeting consulting professionals and experienced teachers. The common support to help improve the resource room teachers' role performance was the setting of international websites, the support from administration system, and the increase of counseling and support staff. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were provided for the practitioners work and feature research. |
