科技大學英文教師教學風格量表之編製

A Study of Constructing a Scale of Technology University English Teachers’ Teaching Styles

在全球化時代中，英語是一種國際語言，是目前最重要的溝通工具，因此，英語能力是現代公民必備的技能。許多英文教育工作者發現，科技大學學生英文能力不足，且在英文學習上缺乏信心。然而，先前的研究，少有針對科技大學學生的英語學習作深入研究與探討，因此，針對科技大學學生的學習特性與需求，編製一份適合的英文教師教學風格量表是有其必要性的。本研究根據相關理論與文獻，參考Conti(1983, 1985)及其他相關量表，再經過專家內容效度以及預試後，編製完成一份包含21個題項，四種層面，具有良好信、效度的「科技大學英文教師教學風格量表」，藉此作為相關研究的研究工具，以提升教師的教學效能與學生的英文能力。

In the era of globalization, English is an international language and an important communication tool. Having an adequate English ability is an essential skill for citizens in the global village. Educators at technology universities have found that many students possess insufficient English abilities and a lack of confidence in English learning. However, an overview of the literature found that few studies focus on students at technology universities. Therefore, to construct a scale to investigate technology university English teachers’ teaching styles is necessary. The scale in this study was developed by the following procedures. First, the researchers developed the scale based on the literature and previous scales, such as Conti’s (1983, 1985). Then experts in this field helped to review the contents. After the pilot studies, the reliability and validity were analyzed. As a result, “The Scale of Technology University English Teachers’ Teaching Style” was developed and consists of 21 items in four categories. This scale, which was found to have good reliability and validity, will be a useful tool for future studies to enhance teaching and studying efficacy.
