A Comparison of Preschool Teacher Education Courses in Taiwan and Japan

本研究旨在透過臺、日兩地幼兒教育師資培育相關文獻之比較，探究幼兒教育師資培育機構、教育實習及專業課程之內涵，以呈現兩國制度之異同。綜合相關資料歸納出以下三項發現：一、師資培育理念皆符應相關政策，出發點不同，但教育目的相同，且與幼教課程呼應。二、師資培育機構皆以四年制大學為主軸。三、師資培育課程皆以培養高素質之教師為目標。文末作者根據研究結果提出二項建議：一、可思考以不同證照級別區分幼兒教師及教保員之專業程度。二、建議任用學校及大學共同負責教育實習指導責任。
