「生命關懷」融入技職院校「教保專業倫理」課程之行動研究

Integration of a Life Education Curriculum Into Professional Ethics in Early Childhood Education at a Technological and Vocational College

本研究旨在探究技職院校的「教保專業倫理」課程中融入生命關懷之教學。試圖幫助教保服務人員在遭遇和面對倫理兩難挑戰時，提供相對應的準備和指導性架構，以期做出較好的決策。本研究採取行動研究形式，並以研究者授課的在職專班為研究參與對象及場域，實施過程資料蒐集方法包括：訪談、課程觀察記錄、作業、研究者省思札記、課前開放式問卷、課後回饋單，及相關文件搜集與分析。
根據本研究結果顯示：一、採取整合式教學課程，教學目標調整成具備生命教育內涵後，不但未偏離教保專業倫理目標，反而更容易緊扣生命關懷的教育目的；二、結合幼兒園職場生活的倫理兩難問題思考，可以提高道德倫理判斷與生命價值反省能力；三、多元教材與互動式教學方法，提高師生同儕互動，小組和群體討論的學習特性協助學生建構倫理知識；四、內化生命價值觀，可加強學生倫理意願與行動；五、教師透過主動建構關懷關係，以提升專業反思與生命成長。根據研究發現，可作為未來推動生命教育融入教保專業倫理課程實施時具有明確方向，以及未來研究與建議之參考。

The purpose of this study was to integrate a life education curriculum into professional ethics in education and care at a technical and vocational college. The aim is to offer preschool educators an appropriate preparatory and instructive framework for decision-making when they encounter ethical dilemmas in the workplace. This study adopted an action research approach. The research sample was a class of students instructed by the author. Data were collected from interviews, observations, assignments, the author’s journals, questionnaires administered before and after the course, and related literature.
The main findings are summarized as follows: (a) The integrated course using teaching objectives modified to involve life education was consistent with the goal of providing education on professional ethics in education and care.
