香港政府在二千年推行教育改革,校長作為學校教學領導團隊的核心領導者,如何帶動學校的教學發展更趨重要。本研究探討香港小學校長教學領導的具體策略,以及在實踐教學領導過程中,如何受到不同因素的影響。 ; 本研究採用質化的多重個案研究方法,挑選了校長教學領導較為成功的兩所小學作為研究對象,探討有關問題。研究資料搜集方法包括訪問校長及學校主要的中層教學領導教師及部分基層教師;實地觀察課堂教學、教師專業發展活動和不同類型的會議;以及分析學校、政府、大專院校的文件。 ; 研究發現,在推動學校學與教發展的過程中,校長的領導策略是根據學校的獨特情境而選擇的,沒有一個放諸四海皆準或是所謂「最佳」的策略。面對着來自不同層面的各種不同因素的考驗及牽制,教學領導的效能取決於校長領導策略、行為與情境的配合,能否運用其領導解難能力,將挑戰轉化為發展機會。而在這過程中,建立學校教學願景、促進團隊正面人際關係及環境氛圍是校長教學領導的重要策略。 ; 研究進一步發現,校長個人信念、經驗、專業知識及領導能力、個人特質等,是影響校長教學領導策略的重要因素。因為個人信念和經歷對領導工作內容具有一種指向性作用,確立校長如何定義學生的學習、教師的教學;而個人專業知識和能力與及個人特質這兩項,則是實踐學校願景的一些能力條件;校長需要依靠這些知識、能力特長去推動教學發展及學校改進。可以說,信念、經歷、專業知識和能力、個人特質之間是相輔相成的。 ; 研究又發現,校長教學領導策略和學校情境內的不同因素,包括學校文化、教師、中層領導、學生和家長等等具交互影響,彼此不斷調校以回應改進需求。最後,隨着校長領導策略發揮作用,學校出現變革,中層教學領導能力提升,他們不僅協助校長深化和加快教學發展,也幫助學校回應新挑戰。因此,學校情境因素亦是影響校長教學領導策略不可忽略的重要因素。 ; 本研究對校長教學領導的知識領域有三方面的貢獻,它揭示了(1)校長在學校學與教發展過程中扮演引導教學發展方向及營造學校正面文化的關鍵角色;(2)不同因素對校長教學領導策略的影響;以及(3)校長教學領導策略成功發揮作用所需要的條件,就是各項策略與校長個人因素、學校情境因素之間的配合。 ; Since year 2000, Hong Kong government has initiated a number of educational reforms. Being a center figure in our school structure, the role of principals has become increasingly crucial to the success of those reforms. This study aims to understand Hong Kong school principals' strategies on instructional leadership and factors affecting them. ; The study employed a multiple-case design. Two primary schools with widely recognized reform success were purposefully chosen. Data collected include interviews of principal, key middle managers and teachers; it also included observations of classes, student activities, staff development activities, and meetings at different levels; and reviews of documents from various sources. ; The study found that there is no one-size-fits-all nor the best strategy when principals try to improve their schools or to upgrade teachers' knowledge and skills. Rather, principals should tailor their own plans for teachers' professional development and school improvement, and the strategies need to be context-specific. Faced by challenges from their changing educational environment, ...

這項研究的目的旨在探討香港15歲學生在科學素養上的性別差異及這些差異如何影響男女生在選擇以科學作為升學及職業的動機。 ; 本研究的數據取自2006年在本港舉行的香港學生能力國際評估計劃(Programme for International Student Assessment)。該計劃的4645學生樣本取自146所學校,包括:官立、資助及私立學校,以兩階段分層隨機抽樣的方法選取。 ; 學生能力國際評估計劃如其他大型國際評估一樣,其評估框架採用多維試題架構。本研究採用配合該試題架構及樣本結構的多維試題功能(MDIF)及多層中介變項(MLM)兩個研究方法,去了解15歲男女學生在科學素養(認知和情感)上的性別差異及這些差異如何影響男女生在選擇以科學作為升學及職業的動機。比較常用的均差t-檢定,MDIF具備提高各次級量尺的精確度特質,因而可以更有效和準確地計算出男女學生在科學素養上的性別差異。MLM則以Eccles (1983) 的成功期望價值理論為學理基礎去分析和了解這些性別差異如何影響男女生在選取與科學相關的升學途徑和擇業的動機。 ; 要完成MLM的研究,我們必須先使用單組驗證性因子分析(Single-Group CFA)驗證經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)所建構的六項情意因素,包括:「科學上的自我概念」、「科學的個人價值」、「科學的興趣」、「對科學的喜好」、「學習科學的工具性動機」和「將來工作而學習科學的動機」,以便了解使用這些源自西方社會的情意因素在本土研究的可行性及效度。接着使用本土數據去調整這六項情意因素結構。最後利用多組驗證性因子分析(Multiple-Group CFA)去確定這些因素結構對男女生是否都適用(即測量等同檢驗Measurement Invariance Test)。 ; 由單組驗證性因子分析結果得知,六項情意因素,除了要對「科學的興趣」因素作較大幅度的修改外,其他五項因素都具有良好的心理測量特性。而多組驗證性因子分析的結果亦顯示,六項情意因素都能通過測量等同檢驗,亦即這六項因素結構對男女生都適用。 ; 研究結果顯示除了「鑑定形成科學議題」能力外,本港15歲的男生在「解釋科學現象」及「科學證」等科學認知層面上優於女生。在科學情意發展上,男生比女生亦有更好的發展,其效應值(effect size)更高於認知層面。 ; MLM的研究結果與Eccles的成功期望價值理論預測結果吻合,也就是說,男女生在面向未來升學選科和擇業動機上呈現明顯的性別差異,而這些差異主要是透過情意因素(中介變項)間接影響男女生的選擇意向。就這些因素而言,女生在選取科學作為未來升學途徑和職業動機明顯地較男生為弱。 ; 整體而言,驗證性因子分析結果和MLM的研究結果支持源自西方社會的Eccles成功期望價值理論具備跨文化效度,在香港華人社會的研究結果與西方結果基本吻合。 ; 最後,本文作者將根據本研究的結果,向科學教育的工作者、教師、父母、課程發展人員、政策的制定者和考核機構提供一些可行的建議,希望藉此改善香港男女生在科學生涯規劃上的性別差異。 ; The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gender differences of 15-year-old students on scientific literacy and their impacts on students' motivation to pursue science education and careers (Future-oriented Science Motivation) in Hong Kong. ; The data for this study was collected from the Program for International Student Assessment in Hong Kong (HKPISA). It was carried out in 2006. A total of 4,645 students were randomly selected from 146 secondary schools including government, aided and private schools by two-stage stratified sampling method for the assessment. ; HKPISA 2006, like most of other large-scale international assessments, presents its assessment frameworks in multidimensional subscales. To fulfill the requirements of this ...
