| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 教育經營與管理學系 === 107 === The purposes of this study were to understand the current situation of Directors’ Centered Leadership, Teachers’ Learning Culture and Professional Commitment in kindergardens. To explore the differences and correlations in Directors’ Centered Leadership, Teachers’ Learning Culture and Professional Commitment of difference background in kindergardens.

The total samples were 898 teachers , and 678 valid samples were distributed to this study of the public and private kindergardens in two cities of Liaoning province in China.

According to the statistical results, the following conclusions are obtained:
1. Teachers of the kindergardens perceive that the directors have a high degree in the whole and various aspects of Centered Leadership, among which, the score of “health fitness vision” is the highest, and the score of “management knowledge and ability to create value” is the relatively lowest.
