[[alternative]]Practicum Annoyances in Child-Care Centers: A Cast Study of Senior Students in the Infant and Child Care Department of National Taipei College of Nursing

[[abstract]]「嬰幼兒保育實習」是台北護理學院嬰幼兒保育系相當重要的核心科目。本文目的在了解學生在托兒所實習中所遭遇的困擾問題及解決途徑。採描述法進行，主要透過問卷調查73 名學生，了解其實習困擾問題與困擾程度、尋求協助的對象、項目與頻率。研究結果可據以改善北護嬰幼兒保育系學生之「嬰幼兒保育實習」實務。研究結果發現：(1)上學期困擾問題較聚焦於教學層面，下學期困擾問題的焦點較分散且對實習地點和時間感到不便和太長。(2)困擾問題的程度在上、下學期各有消長，但大多數問題的困擾程度不因北護就讀的班級別、實習機構別、實習機構的幼兒班級別、與實習學生專科背景別而有所差異。(3)尋求協助的對象以北護教師為主，少尋求托兒所實習輔導教師協助。(4)下學期尋求托兒所所長協助的頻率明顯提高，但尋求托兒所實習輔導教師協助的頻率降低。(5)半數尋求協助項目在下學期尋求協助的頻率皆降低。(6)學生建議改採集中（密集）方式實習、縮短實習時間和明訂實習權責。[[abstract]]Infant and Child Care Practicum is a core course required by the Infant and Child Care Department of National Taipei College of Nursing (NTCN). This paper aims to explore the annoyances that NTCN's students confront in their two semesters of practicum in child-care centers, and to consider solutions. Utilizing descriptive method, this investigation surveyed 73 senior students at NTCN to identify the annoyances and their extent, as well as the objects, items and frequencies of the kinds of assistance that they requested. Main findings include: (1) In the first semester, students' annoyances focused on aspects of instruction; the scope of annoyances in the second semester broadened. (2)Students' home classes, child-care center affiliation, child care classes, and educational background did not significantly affect the extent of many annoyances. (3) Students mainly requested assistance from NTCN's teachers rather than cooperating child caregivers in centers. (4) In the second semester, the frequency of assistance solicitation from child-care center directors increased but that from child care givers decreased. (5) The frequency of assistance solicitation diminished in the second semester. (6) Many students suggested that the program should intensify practicum duration, shorten practicum length, and clarify privileges and obligations
