本研究的目的在探查探查嘉義市國小教師的世界觀教學現況，六十位受訪對象是 自八十四學年度擔任社會科教學的各國小教師中產生，由研究者親赴各校訪談每一位教師。 研究發現如下：(1) 參與研究的教師對世界觀教育的看法並不一致。(2) 大多數的教師認為 國小社會科教學應拓展學生的世界觀。(3) 到目前為止，教師們最主要拓展世界觀的途徑是 旅行國外的跨文化學習。(4) 國外的跨文化經驗增加教師世界觀教學的正確性、權威性。不 論是科任或級任教師應用其國外經驗於社會科教學的方式是隨機融入。(5) 除了師生國外經 驗的應用外，配合時事、鼓勵吸收媒體資訊及使用圖片、相片或錄影帶等輔助教材是教師們 教導學生世界觀的其他做法。(6) 雖然教師普遍指出低、中年級的社會科教學以鄉土為主， 高年級才會教到世界觀，但是仍有多位教師強調鄉土與世界的學習並不受年級限制而有相輔 相成的關係。(7) 由於對世界觀看法不一，因此教師們用不同的標準來評定自己的世界觀教 學知能。多數教師自認已能勝任世界觀教學的重任，但是對世界觀教育愈為重視的教師，愈 強調自己英語能力有待充實。 同時，他 (她 ) 們也指出世界觀教育相關知識進修的必要性 。

　　　　　The purpose of this study is to investigate whether elementary school teachers in Chiayi City teach social studies from a global perspective. Participants in this study were teachers who teach social studies in 1995 school year. Sixty teachers selected from the participants were interviewed. There are seven major findings in this study: 1. The participant hold different perspectives regarding global education. 2. Most teachers recognize the importance of teaching social studies from a global perspective. 3. So far, traveling abroad is the major approach for teachers to promote their global perspectives. 4. Teachers who have traveled abroad reported that they teach social studies with more accuracy and authority. Both departmental and self-contained teachers favor the infusion approach while teaching social studies from a global perspective. 5. In addition to applying teachers' and students' cross-cultural experiences abroad, the participants teach global perspectives by integrating current events, acquiring new information from mass media, and using supplementary teaching materials, such as pictures, photos, and videotapes. 6. Teachers pointed out that the emphases of social studies in lower-intermediate grades are from local perspectives. And, the emphases of social studies in upper grades expand to cover global perspectives. However, some teachers stressed that teaching social studies from local perspectives or global perspectives shouldn't have grade differences. Both perspectives are actually complementary. 7. Due to different perspectives, teachers evaluate their teaching ability with different criteria. Most teachers have confidence in teaching social studies from a global perspective. However, some teachers stressed that they need to enhance their English ability. Also, they mentioned that the courses regarding global education should be provided.
