學前特教巡迴輔導教師職前教育之現況與展望

Pre-service Teacher Education for Itinerant ECSE Teachers in Taiwan: Current Status and Future Directions

教育機會均等的倡議下，融合教育成為國際教育趨勢，師資培育單位宜培育師資生因應融合教育脈絡的教與學，以回應學生的能力差異並支持學生適性學習。目前多數學前特殊教育教師任職於巡迴輔導班，透過特殊教育支援的方式支持特殊需求幼兒在普通班學習，旨在促進有品質的融合教育。研究者基於學前特教巡迴輔導服務內涵和實務趨勢，檢視師資職前教育課程現況，並提出強化學前特殊教育師資生巡迴輔導專業能力的五項建議：（一）掌握國際間教師專業標準之脈動；（二）置身幼兒教育脈絡教授課程核心內容；（三）建構並強化學前特教巡迴輔導專業能力之分殊內涵；（四）建立教育專業課程科目之間的連結；（五）瞭解師資生之專業背景並調整授課內容。期減少師資生所面臨之學用落差。

As inclusive education has become a global trend with the advocacy for educational equity, it is important for teacher educators to support prospective teachers learning to support students’ learning in the context of inclusion. In Taiwan, most of the ECSE teachers serve as the itinerant ESCE teachers to provide special education support services in preschool settings, in order to facilitate the quality of preschool inclusion. This paper aims to offer an analysis of current status of pre-service teacher education curriculum and courses for itinerant ECSE teachers in Taiwan, which is based on the essence of itinerant ECSE services and preschool inclusion practices. Based on the results of foregoing analysis on pre-service teacher education curriculum, this paper gives critical comments on fostering prospective ECSE teachers’ competencies to provide itinerant ECSE services, including the utilization of related professional standards as well as the selection, connection, designs and implementation of pre-service teacher education courses, in order to bridge the theory-practice gap.
