Abstract
The study aims to investigate teacher satisfaction level through applying elementary school’s teaching method and accessing general classroom’s environment. Consider homeroom teachers from all grades at elementary schools in Kaohsiung County as mother group, and select 678 people as research target using Stratified Random Sampling Investigation. According to analysis on local and overseas relevant
documents have found 4 teaching method ,exercise,thinking,appreciation ,announcement,and 24 minor items which consist level on physics & hardware facilities of general classroom’s environment, and develop “Investigation Questionnaire on teacher Satisfaction Level through applying Elementary School’s Teaching Method & accessing General Classroom’s Environment” in order to understand frequency of applying elementary school’s teaching method, satisfaction level of accessing general classroom’s environment, and their relationship.
The study discovers that frequency of applying teacher’s teaching method is as follows. “Always” applying teaching method of exercise plays the majority, “Often” applying teaching method of thinking plays the majority, and “Rarely & Never” applying teaching method of appreciation plays the majority.
Frequency of how teachers from different backgrounds apply every kind of teaching method is as follows. Regarding teaching method of exercise, teachers from “villages & towns” are higher than those from “cities and suburbs”. Regarding teaching method of thinking, teachers from class size of “21-30 people” and “above 30 people” is higher than those from class size of “below 20 people”. Regarding teaching method of appreciation, teachers with degrees from teachers colleges is higher than those with degrees from universities or higher level of schools. Regarding to teaching method of announcement, female teachers are higher than male teachers, teachers at lowers grades are higher than those at medium or higher grades.
With regards to satisfaction level of accessing general environment, generally speaking, teachers are a bit unsatisfied with general classroom’s environment at present stage. Regarding minor items, the most satisfactory is sufficient airflow from windows at classroom, and the most unsatisfactory is computer apparatus at classroom.
Teachers from different backgrounds reflect some unsatisfactory feedbacks towards overall general classroom’s environment, however, satisfactory ones are as follows: “Male”, “Teachers Colleges”, “above Graduate Schools”, “Work Period above 20 years”, “Teaching Lower Grades”, “Teaching Higher Grades”, “Class Size above 20 people”, “Class Size between 21-30 people”, “School Size above 12 classes”, “Cities, Suburban” Teachers; unsatisfactory ones are as follows: “Female”, “University”, “Working Period below 10 years”, “Working Period between 11-20 years”, “Teaching Medium Grades”, “Class Size below 31 people”, “School Size 12-24 classes”, “School Size above 25 classes”, “Villages & Towns” Teachers.
Differences of satisfaction level for teachers from different backgrounds to access “every minor items” at overall general classroom’s environment are as follows,
1. Male teachers have better illumination, public-address, and library shelves system then female teachers;
2. Teachers with degrees from teachers colleges have better lighting on black boards, demonstration boards, and windows then those with degrees from universities or higher level of schools;
3. Teachers whose working periods are above 21 years have better performances on demonstration boards, windows’ light, room temperature’s adjustment, and overall perspectives then those whose working periods between 11-20 years and have better performances on windows’ lighting, public-address, and overall perspectives then those whose working periods below 10 years;
4. Teachers at higher grades have better managements on classroom’s measure of area and space arrangement then those at medium grades;
5. Teachers with class size below 20 people have better managements on classroom measure of area, space arrangement, library shelves, learning zone locations, learning zone’s floor, and overall perspectives then those with class size between 21-30 people. Teachers with class size between 21-30 people have better managements on classroom measure of area, space arrangement, room temperature adjustment, public-address, soundproof facilities, students chairs & desks, library shelves, cleaning shelves, computer & apparatus, overhead projectors & curtains, learning zone locations & floor, and overall perspectives then those with class size over 30 people. Teachers with class size below 21-30 people have better managements on curtains used for overhead projectors then those with class size over 30 people;
6. Teachers from school size below 12 classes have better managements on half of minor items then those from school size between 12-24 classes & 25 classes. Teachers from school size between 12-24 classes have better managements on overhead projectors and curtains used for overhead projectors then those from school size above 25 classes;
7. Teachers from “cities” have better performances on public-address, computer & apparatus, and curtains used for overhead projectors then those from “villages & towns”, and have better performances on classroom’s light then those from “urban”; teachers from “urban” have better performances on classroom’s measure of area, computer & apparatus, overhead projector & curtains, learning zone’s floor, and overall perspectives then those from “villages & towns”.
Comparing relationships between frequency of applying teaching method and satisfaction level on accessing general classroom’s environment, as far as satisfaction level towards applying every minor item of general classroom’s environment is concerned, from perspective of evaluating if there is sufficient air flow from windows at classroom, “always” & “often” are higher then “never” for teachers who have applied teaching method of exercise. From perspectives of evaluating classroom’s cleaning shelves, computer & apparatus, “never” is higher then “rarely”, “often”, and “always” for teachers who have applied teaching methods of exercise, thinking, appreciation, and announcement.
The study discovers that frequency of applying teaching method of exercise is positive relation to satisfaction level of “classroom measure of area, space arrangement”,”airflow from windows at classroom”；frequency of applying teaching method of thinking is positive relation to ”illumination”,but is negative relation to overhead projectors；frequency of applying teaching method of announcement is negative relation to“public-address”,”cleaning shelves”,computer,overhead projectors.
