本文採用生命故事的研究方法，以兩位幼稚園園長為研究對象，探究其自邁 入學前教育工作開始，一些重大的學前教育改革及政策調整如何影響了他們職業 生涯的轉變與發展，學前教育者的自身追求與適應對其生涯帶來了哪些影響與改 變。 本研究對兩位園長進行了深度訪談，一方面，由於中國社會的發展，國外學 前教育理念的引入，使得中國內地的學前教育工作在教育理念、教學模式、課程 設置、家園合作等多個方面也都發生了較大改變；另一方面，為了順應社會的變 革與發展，教育政策也隨之進行了不斷的補充與修訂，而這些社會的變革與重大 政策的出臺對兩位園長的工作生涯走向及具體工作具有較大的影響。 但是，在社會變革和政策調整的過程中，人的主觀能動性起到了極為重要的 作用，個體的思想觀念、意志力、對夢想的追求等會使其對外在的制度和社會結 構形成一種相應的互動力，從而使個體與政策相互影響，也使其生命歷程更富有 變化。 此外，個體周邊的關係體對其生命發展走向具有一定的影響。園長們在一系 列的社會參與和角色職位之中，朝著社會所期望的規範邁進，同時他們自身的觀 念和認知也通過正面強化或負面約束對他們生命歷程帶來影響。
