Early childhood education and care (ECEC) has been an important educational issue around the world. Under the trend of aging society, government must take the action to improve quality of ECEC. Policy of Integrating kindergartens and nursery schools is a positive action that domestic government adopt to the messy situation that caused by separated systems of kindergartens and nursery schools. Based on collecting official documents and interviews which were analysed via Maxqda 2020 program to evaluate the implemented situations and trends for the long-term future of the policy. The main findings of this study include: 1. both counties vigorously implemented the policy, cooporated with central government to increase providing child the opportunities to learn; 2. both counties use the targeted plans and survices to reduce child poverty;3. both counties plan to lower teacher student ratios and hold training courses for teachers in services;4. there are supply-demand mismatches for the public preschools in some areas of the cases.According to the research findings, some suggestions for educational administration and further studies were given as following: 1. It should be ongoing supported after the policy to supply more child and family educare services; 2. make sure equity and quality in ECEC; 3. local government should plan out diversified teacher professional growth programs for promoting teachers to be professional 4. the policy must be long term planned with clarify regional needs, and control the early childhood education instutions in efficiency.參考文獻 中文部分山﨑高哉、攀秀麗、楊奕（2012）。日本學前教育的新構想，學前教育研究，（8），19-29。內政部、教育部幼托政策整合推動委員會（2003）。幼托整合政策規劃結論報告。http://www1.nttu.edutw/shufang/%AA%FE%A5%F3/%A5%AE%B1%D0%B7s%AAk%AE%D792.3web.htm王淑英、孫嫚薇（2003）。托育照顧政策中的國家角色。國家政策季刊，2（4），47-174。http://dx.doi.org/10.6407/NPQ.200312.0147幼兒教育與照顧法(民國100年6月10日)立法。李淑麗（2016）。非營利幼兒園公私協力關係之研究，國立臺灣師範大學社會教育學系碩士論文。林志成（2004）。建構卓越的教育績效責任文化。教育研究月刊，124，41-51。洪福財（2005）。臺灣地區幼托整合政策現狀與展望，早期教育（教師版），（3），18-19。教育部（2018）。教育部 107 年度施政計畫。http://swww.yda.gov.tw ContentMessagesscontents.aspx&SiteID=563426067575657313&MmmID=653624 307351623455&MSID=745573530067704442劉芸英 （2016）。非營利幼兒園政策執行之評估: 以臺北市, 新北市為例，碩士論文。歐姿秀、陳淑琦、李淑惠（2013）。非營利幼兒園應有之核心價值，國教新知，60（4），49-58。蔡英子（2016）。日臺幼兒教育制度改革及現況─以 [幼保一體化] 與 [幼托整合] 為中心，淡江大學日本語文學系碩士班學位論文，1-123。蔣姿儀（2018）。從教保服務人員與家長之觀點談非營利幼兒園。 臺灣教育評論月刊，7（7），4-12。駐法國代表處教育組（2018）。法國研議將義務教育年齡提前至三歲。國家教育研究院國際教育訊息電子報，161。外文部分Acevedo-Garcia, D., Hardy, E., Reece, J., & Gambhir, S.

Under the trend of aging society, government must take the action to improve quality of ECEC. Policy of Integrating kindergartens and nursery schools is a positive action that domestic government adopt to the messy situation that caused by separated systems of kindergartens and nursery schools. Based on collecting official documents and interviews which were analysed via Maxqda 2020 program to evaluate the implemented situations and trends for the long-term future of the policy. The main findings of this study include: 1. both counties vigorously implemented the policy, cooporated with central government to increase providing child the opportunities to learn; 2. both counties use the targeted plans and survices to reduce child poverty;3. both counties plan to lower teacher student ratios and hold training courses for teachers in services;4. there are supply-demand mismatches for the public preschools in some areas of the cases.According to the research findings, some suggestions for educational administration and further studies were given as following: 1. It should be ongoing supported after the policy to supply more child and family educare services; 2. make sure equity and quality in ECEC; 3. local government should plan out diversified teacher professional growth programs for promoting teachers to be professional 4. the policy must be long term planned with clarify regional needs, and control the early childhood education instutions in efficiency. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents 表 次 viii圖 次 ix第一章 緒論 1第一節 研究背景與動機 1第二節 研究目的與問題 4第三節 研究範圍與限制 5第四節 名詞解釋 6第二章 文獻探討 7第一節 幼托整合政策之意涵及相關研究 7第二節 教育政策執行評估相關研究 24第三章 研究設計與實施 65第一節 研究架構 65第二節 研究對象 65第三節 研究方法 66第四節 研究資料處理與分析 66第五節 實施方式 69第四章 研究結果 71第一節 臺北市幼托整合政策執行狀況 71第二節 新北市幼托整合政策狀況 84第三節 臺北市與新北市幼托整合政策執行狀況綜整 92第五章 結論與建議 95第一節 結論 95第二節 建議 96參考文獻 99附錄 133附錄一、訪談同意書 133附錄二、訪談大綱(臺北市) 134附錄三、訪談大綱(新北市) 136 zh_TW dc.format.extent 4188996 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0108171003 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 幼托整合政策 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 政策評估 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 政策執行 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) Integrating kindergartens and nursery schools en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Policy implementation en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Evaluation policy en_US dc.title (題名) 幼托整合政策執行評估- 以公共化教保服務為例 zh_TW dc.title (題名) Policy Implementation Evaluation of Integrating Kindergartens and Nursery Schools-An Example of Publicized Early Childhood Educare Service en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) 中文部分山﨑高哉、攀秀麗、楊奕（2012）。日本學前教育的新構想，學前教育研究，（8），19-29。內政部、教育部幼托政策整合推動委員會（2003）。幼托整合政策規劃結論報告。http://www1.nttu.edutw/shufang/%AA%FE%A5%F3/%A5%AE%B1%D0%B7s%AAk%AE%D792.3web.htm王淑英、孫嫚薇（2003）。托育照顧政策中的國家角色。國家政策季刊，2（4），47-174。http://dx.doi.org/10.6407/NPQ.200312.0147幼兒教育與照顧法(民國100年6月10日)立法。李淑麗（2016）。非營利幼兒園公私協力關係之研究，國立臺灣師範大學社會教育學系碩士論文。林志成（2004）。建構卓越的教育績效責任文化。教育研究月刊，124，41-51。洪福財（2005）。臺灣地區幼托整合政策現狀與展望，早期教育（教師版），（3），18-19。教育部（2018）。教育部 107 年度施政計畫。http://swww.yda.gov.tw ContentMessagesscontents.aspx&SiteID=563426067575657313&MmmID=653624 307351623455&MSID=745573530067704442劉芸英 （2016）。非營利幼兒園政策執行之評估: 以臺北市, 新北市為例，碩士論文。歐姿秀、陳淑琦、李淑惠（2013）。非營利幼兒園應有之核心價值，國教新知，60（4），49-58。蔡英子（2016）。日臺幼兒教育制度改革及現況─以 [幼保一體化] 與 [幼托整合] 為中心，淡江大學日本語文學系碩士班學位論文，1-123。蔣姿儀（2018）。從教保服務人員與家長之觀點談非營利幼兒園。 臺灣教育評論月刊，7（7），4-12。駐法國代表處教育組（2018）。法國研議將義務教育年齡提前至三歲。國家教育研究院國際教育訊息電子報，161。外文部分Acevedo-Garcia, D., Hardy, E., Reece, J., & Gambhir, S.
