胡至沛、吳筱苹
《摘要》
本文主要在探討《幼兒教育及照顧法》通過後，當中對於國小附幼增置之行政教保員與教學教保員規範，對於實際上幼兒園的運作與管理的影響，特別針對人員的進用方式、人事與行政業務管理，以及在工作職掌等內容。對此，本文以全國率先實施幼托整合的新竹市為例，透過問卷調查與深度訪談，以說明分析：首先、教保服務人員對於不同法令進用不同身分別人員的看法及認同程度，其次、增置教保員（行政教保員）之工作職掌與管理現況，最後教保服務人員對於班級一師一保配班機制的意見及看法。
根據實證調查分析結果，本文的主要發現與建議有：第一、政策說明不夠清楚，導致增置教保員之目的眾說紛紜，第二、教保相同職務進用法令應相，第三、工作職掌規畫清楚，第四、新竹市政府同時實施一師一保的配班制度，毀壞了增置教保員政策的美意，第五、建議其他縣市維持二師制度，第六提供介聘的機會。本文經由實證調查分析與發現，希望有助於發掘現場的問題及衝擊，以提供各界參考，使能共創優質的幼教品質。

Abstract
This study focuses on the “The Act of Early Childhood Education and Care,” which states that “Each nursery affiliated with elementary school should hire one more education protection officer.” The purpose of this study is to understand whether the additional education protection officer has influenced the operation and function of nursery schools. This study takes Hsinchu city as an example, because it is the first city to implement this policy in Taiwan. The main points of the research include investigating the opinions and viewpoints of education protection officers with regard to the new law; understanding the duties of the additional education protection officer and how these positions are managed by the nursery affiliated with elementary schools; and investigating the viewpoints and opinions of the additional education protection officer with regard to each nursery school teacher.
After analyzing the empirical data from the questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews, this study summarizes six findings and suggestions: First, the explanation of the integrated preschool policy is not clear enough, as many different definitions have been given. Second, the same job should be defined by a corresponding recruiting act. Third, clear job responsibilities and planning are called for. Fourth, Hsinchu city assigns one teacher and nursery in the class – a practice that has side effects. Fifth, other country governments should maintain two teachers in one classroom. Six, education protection officer should be given equal work opportunities.
