Abstract:	Technical-Art Education Program of junior high schools is the access for students to experiencing multiple adaptive developments early. A very high proportion of junior high school students who discover their self-interest in occupational exploration and choose to study technical-art education program can enter vocational high schools or junior colleges and even pursue for a high degree in vocational education system or general educational system. The programs they choose to study usually have a significant influence on their future development. In the job market in Taiwan, business-related jobs play an important part. Therefore, business-related departments in vocational high schools and business colleges in universities are usually the most popular choices of students. In the technical-art education program of junior high schools, the proportion of business & management related classes opened is the third highest among 13 categories of classes, which is only second to hospitality and household management-related classes. However, the proportion of business & management class opened in technical-art education program of junior high school in Pingtung County is significantly lower than the national average. A qualitative empirical study was conducted to investigate the current status of pull-out business & management programs implemented in Pingtung County. It was found that, most educational objectives established for the guidelines on technical-art education program of junior high school are meaningful and complete, which intend to educate junior high school students with basic business knowledge, concept of product sale and promotion, simple accounting ability, basic computer operation ability, and basic word processing capability, as well as to cultivate their accurate working attitude and professional ethics of cooperation before they formally enter vocational education system. However, few technical-art education programs opening business & management classes at junior high schools narrow the learning content, and ignore the width of business-related subjects in order to comply with the expertise of the faculties at vocational high schools assigned to the program. Moreover, only Chinese and English typing are included in the competition of business and management category among technical-art program of junior high school. Therefore, such classes become the outpost of Department of Information Processing at vocational high schools. It is hoped that the difficulties and defects of opening business & management classes in technical-art education program of junior high school can be reflected by this study to propose practical suggestions on future technical-art education of junior high school.
