兒童課後照顧中心評鑑指標分析

Abstract

本研究針對兒童課後照顧中心評鑑指標，進行測量不變性與多項特質多項方法的分析。課後照顧中心評鑑指標包含兒童學習、兒童照顧兩個特質，中心主任內部評鑑及主題專家外部評鑑兩種方法。測量不變性分析顯示內部評鑑以外部評鑑所得資料之因素結構均等性獲得支持，多項特質多項方法分析發現兒童課後照顧中心評鑑指標具有效度，筆者根據研究發現，對未來研究提出相關建議。

The study examines validity of evaluating indicators for after-school child care center through measurement invariance and multitrait-multimethod (MTMM). The two sections of the evaluating indicators, including children learning, children care, are treated as distinct traits. While, directors’ internal evaluation and subject matter experts’ external evaluation are treated as distinct methods. Statistically, measurement invariance is used to test factorial invariance. Campbell and Fiske’s criteria is used to evaluate the MTMM matrix, and confirmatory factor analysis is used to test nested factor models. Analysis of measurement invariance show the indicators and the traits are the same across groups. Analysis of MTMM provide support for the validity of the evaluating indicators. Those findings will give helpful information for validation of evaluating indicators for after-school child care center and future study.
