說故事於兒童教保實務，具許多功效。說故事能力培訓課程，因而應成為兒童教保人員培育課程之重要一環。然而，國內目前較缺乏以此為探究焦點之研究成果。有鑑於此，本研究試著針對說故事能力培育課程加以探究。除探討相關文獻，研究者還透過小組座談與問卷，蒐集若干學者專家（含大學教師與兒童教保實務工作者）之口頭與書面意見，且針對一個系之說故事能力培育課程與檢定機制加以檢討，以使研究結果更為周延可行，並提醒兒童教保人員培育機構避免出現類似問題。最終，研究者就說故事能力培育課程之課程目標、內容與實施原則，以及說故事能力檢定之進行等向度，具體提出結論和建議。 這些結論與建議涵蓋說故事能力培育課程之核心向度，可供兒童教保人員培育機構參考。
