臺灣早期的幼教發展，於政府長時期疏於管理下，導致現今幼教界在諸多糾結複雜的問題。這些客觀外在環境條件所產生的問題，直接衝擊「幼師」角色的生存空間。本研究透過一位資深幼教工作經驗的園長之工作經驗世界，理解幼師職業生涯運轉歷程的樣貌，並從主體生命故事中，理解其中透露的重要社會結構變遷訊息。本研究採取Fritz Schütze所發展之「敘述訪談」進行資料採集，及其所提出的理論建構分析方案，對文本進行分析。資料分析過程逐漸釋出本研究主體－杏芬園長「不成長就會被淘汰」的生命信念意涵。「不進則退」生命觀於時間流動中架構出主體的生活經驗世界，形成生命能量內塑與外推之上揚動力，於接受工作挑戰與追求成長歷程中蛻變。同時，研究者就文本解析之內容，參照Csikszentmihalyi創造力系統論觀點，建立一個類似的系統原型，從個人、學門及領域三面向，闡釋研究主體長期安身立命於幼教職業工作中的思辯。

Due to the lack of management by the government in Taiwan in early years, there are many problems that exist in the field of early childhood education which impacts directly to the survival of the kindergarten teachers. By interviewing a senior teacher's working experience, it is explored the different patterns of the career of a kindergarten teacher; furthermore, to comprehend the transition of the social structure from reviewing the history in which the story happened. The method of data collection was the narrative interview; the method of data analysis was based on the theory of construction analysis. Thus far the findings indicate that "either growing or elimination" is the principal Sin-Feng's belief. At the same time, the researcher revised and constructed a similar system from the creativity systematic viewpoint raised by Csikszentmihalyi to explain the possible reasons, from personal, subject, and field aspects, that make the research object stay in the same career for such a long time.
