Description
Summary:碩士 === 中華大學 === 科技管理學系碩士班 === 101 === Making a special child can integrate into the crowd and the sociality. Domestic special education is following the trend of the world. From a self-contained special education class changed to the integrated education. This study is based on the theory and method of System Dynamics. And using Secondary Research and Literature Review collect and define the relevant factors which teachers in the elementary school are willing to teach in the inclusive education class. These factors which will influence the choice of teachers are divided into three dimensions, including: the fitness of personal characteristics, external support, and teaching degree of distress. According to a causal loop diagram of the three dimensions construct a system dynamic model. The results showed that degree of distress in teaching are negative feedback, the other two dimensions are all positive feedback. Therefore, the degree of distress in teaching is the important factor that affected the teachers ` willingness in the integrated class. This research suggests to take the following measures: First, teachers should enrich the professional knowledge of the special education through studies, seminars, or ask the professors. Second, the administration at school can conduct the parent-teacher discussion to improve parents` confidence and support, and establish a sound support. Third, the competent authority may require the teachers in regular classes and the administrators to continue the education credits or participate in a study of the special education. Fourth, the competent authority should stress on the teaching degree of distress in the integrated class and actively involved in the construction of the support system. The relevant policies not only improve the teams` support and cooperation, but also increase the confident and willingness of teaching.
