定向行動課程與教學專業能力之研究

A Study on the Orientation and Mobility Courses and Teaching Professional Ability

本研究旨在探討定向行動課程與教學的專業能力，問卷發放對象為目前海峽兩岸擔任定向行動的教師，共有64名協助填答，其中台灣地區有32名，大陸地區也是32名。「定向行動課程與教學調查問卷」之編製，依據台灣特殊教育需求定向行動課程的七個主軸:感覺訓練、概念發展、行動技能、定向系統、求助技能、安全議題、社區資源與大眾運輸系統，七個主軸分為25個次專案，以及150個能力指標，經過和定向行動教師討論結果抽取其中50個能力指標編製完成。研究結果發現：1.50個題項大多數教師都認為是非常重要或重要程度，各向度重要程度都在3.5以上。50個題項中有4個題項其平均數未達3.5，因此有46個題項可考慮編製為「定向行走專業能力檢核表」。2.定向行動教師其課程與教學專業能力，各題項多落在勝任選項，各向度勝任程度都在3.0以上，但均未達3.5以上，因此還有進步空間，需要進一步作培訓。3.海峽兩岸定向行動教師對課程與教學專業能力，在各向度重要程度上有顯着差異，各向度勝任程度的顯着差異更達.001的顯着水準。4.海峽兩岸不同年齡定向行動教師，認為課程與教學專業能力，在重要程度和勝任程度並沒有顯着差異。5.海峽兩岸擔任定向行動課程的教師，多數認為有培訓的必要。6.建議將重要性在3.5以上的題目編製為「定向行走專業能力檢核表」將定向行動專業能力勝任程度在3.5以下的向度作為定向行動師資培訓的參考。

The purpose of this study was to explore the Orientation and Mobility courses and teaching professional ability. A questionnaire was distributed to 64 teachers who are currently serving as Orientation and Mobility teachers in Mainland China and Taiwan, 32 teachers from each area. The results of this study showed that:1) Most of the 50 items of the questionnaire were considered to be“very important”or“important”at the degree of importance higher than 3.5. Four out of the 50 questions were rated less than 3.5 and was precluded. The rest 46 questions consisted of the“Orientation and Mobility Capability Test Tables.”2. These Orientation and Mobility teachers were rated as“capable”of their professional requirements. However, their average rating fell between 3.0 and 3.5, indicating a potential improvement would be expected. Further practical trainings are required to improve their professional competence. 3. The importance and the capability of the Orientation and Mobility teaching were rated differently by teachers between Mainland China and Taiwan. However, there was no significant difference on the rating results of teachers among varied age groups. 5. All Orientation and Mobility courses teachers from both areas considered professional trainings as necessary. 6. It is proposed that the items with importance above 3.5 be compiled as the“Check List Professional Ability to Orientation and Mobility“; while the items with capability rating less than 3.5 were considered as a reference for courses of professional training of Orientation and Mobility teachers.
