本研究主要目的係發展一套適合分析教師對動物利用的態度之工具，探究不同背景的國小教師在動物利用態度上的差異情形，並瞭解教師在面對課程中出現飼養動物單元時所持有的觀點。從文獻分析中發現，動物的倫理議題具有多元的哲學論述，先前量表設計多為探討單一動物利用類型和二元式的態度論述。因此，本研究工具設計選定教學利用、科學利用與食用利用三種動物利用類型，根據三種利用態度論述─態度一（可任意利用）、態度二（最佳動物福利狀態的利用）及態度三（不可利用），設計量表題目。經以高雄縣 472 位教師為對象進行施測，由因素分析結果及內部一致性檢定，確認此量表具有建構效度和良好的信度。本研究調查發現，教師在不同動物利用類型之態度皆以態度二認同度最高。教師的性別、宗教信仰、飼養動物經驗、支持社會運動意向及實施動物教學意向，會影響教師對動物利用的態度。教師雖認同飼養動物教學最重要的教學目標為「尊重生命」，在選擇飼養動物教學時，仍以「符合課程目標及需求」為最主要的考量，顯示教師習慣依照課程目標及需求進行教學。最後，本研究提出動物福利概念融入國小課程與教學之需要，及動物利用態度後續研究的建議。

The purpose of this study is to develop an instrument to assess teachers’ attitudes toward the use of animals. The survey is conducted to explore the relationship between their personal backgrounds and the differences in attitudes toward the use of animals. In addition, this survey aims to examine the correlation between three types of attitudes and three purposes of animal use defined by author. Three types of attitudes include careless use of animals, use of animals under the best animal welfare practice, and never to use animals. The three purposes of animal use involve educational use, scientific purpose, and use for food. The survey containing 36 items is administered to elementary school teachers from Kaohsiung county. 472 valid responses are collected and analyzed using principal component analysis and oblique rotation method subsequently, through which the formal version consisting nine dimensions with 33 items is established. Furthermore, the results indicate that most teachers recognize the use of animals under the best animal welfare practice. It is also found that factors influencing the teachers’ attitudes toward the use of animals include the gender, religious belief, eating habits, experiences of animal breeding, intentions to support social movement and intentions of animal breeding in teaching activities. This study shows positive correlation between the teachers’ attitudes toward the use of animals and their perceptions about the three different purposes of animal use.
