保母人員技能檢定應試者焦慮程度及其技能檢定結果之研究

A study of the outcomes of National Skill Testing on the Child Care Giver and anxiety degree

本研究旨在探應何母人員技能檢定測試者焦慮程度及其檢定結果之關係。採用「情境-特質焦慮量表」(State-Trait Anxiety inventory, STAI)為研究工具；以292名參與屏東考區何母人員技能檢定之應試者為樣本；調查所得資料經SPSS 10統計分析，獲得下列研究結果：一、二技幼保系畢業生技能檢定測試前及測試時之焦慮量表平均得分依次是51.23(SD=11.20)、55.85 SD=10.58)；特質焦慮之平均得分依次是45.53(SD=8.89)、45.75(SD=8.49)。二、二技幼保系畢業生技能檢定測試前與測試時之情境-特質焦慮量表得分達顯著正相關(P<.05)；訓練背景不同在特質焦慮得分顯著差異(P<.05)；技能檢定測試時情境-特質焦慮得分與術科技能檢測試成績呈低負相關。三、技能檢定測試之平均得分：學科提88.91分；術科為77.33分；取得何母人員技術士證者共81.5%。個人變項與學科技能檢定結果皆達顯著性差異(P<.05)；訓練機構不同與術科技能檢定結果呈顯著差異(P<.01)；術科技能檢定測試中「調製區」之題項與是否通過技能檢定具顯著差異(P<.01)。四、研究對象認為技能檢定測試前練習熟練，是克服檢定時緊張焦慮，及決定是否通過保母人員技能檢定是否能通過保母人員技能檢定最具關鍵性的要訣；安全醫護區的技能，所需練習的次數與時間最多；而遊戲學習區的技能則最少。本研究根據研究結果提出建議，以供技能檢定主辦單位、訓練機構，輔導參與保母人員技能檢定之參考。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of National skill testing for the Child Care Giver and the anxiety degree of those participating. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) which includes the State part and the Trait part was used to examine the degree of anxiety. 292 individuals participated in National skill testing for the child care giver in Ping-tung. SPSS 10.0 for Windows was used to analyze this data. The results are shown in below: 1. The average ( SD) of the State part of STAI in pre-testing and testing period are separately 51.23 (SD =11.20) and 55.85 (SD =10.58) . The average (SD) of the Trait part in pre-testing and testing period are separately 45.53 (SD =8.89) and 45.75 (SD =8.49) in the Department of Early Childhood Education (Two-Year university program) graduates. 2. There was a significant positive correlation between pre-testing and testing period scores in STAI in the Department of Early Childhood Education (Two-Year university program) graduates (P < .05) . There was significant in the scores of the Trait part between people of different training backgrounds (P < .05) . However, the scores of STAI in the testing period revealed a· low negative correlation with the operating testing. 3. The average of the written testing is 88.91 while the average of the operating testing is 77.3. 81.5% of the subjects had passed through the National skill testing. There was a significant difference between the demographic data and the written testing (P < .05), while the training institutions affected the results of the operating tests (P < .05) . The items of 「cooking area」 were different in contributing toward the Child Care Giver testing (P < .01) . 4. The open question indicated that more practice in pre-testing is the key to conquer the anxiety and to pass the National skill testing for the Child Care Giver. People who want to take this testing need more practice in the skills of the 「medicine area」 than the 「playing area」 . The results of this study may provide some effective strategies to the institutions related the Child Care Giver testing.
