本研究旨在探討影響新台灣之子數學學習困難之因素,據以設計教學策略,並探究教學後對學生數學學習之影響。本研究選取南部某校小四班級中兩位新台灣之子為對象,透過課室觀察、個案訪談、學生的文件分析等,獲得研究所需資訊。研究發現新台灣之子數學學習困難之主要因素為:一、家庭提供的支援少,學習呈現消極態度;二、文化背景刺激不足、語文程度不佳,難以瞭解題意;三、缺乏學習自信、少提問,小組討論參與度低。在透過小組合作學習、指派個案擔任重要角色、獎勵提問與錯誤反思、以及培養學生閱讀習慣之教學策略實施後發現,學生在「整數四則運算概念」與「分數概念」有大幅度之提昇。此結果顯示發展適當之教學策略對新台灣之子的數學學習有其必要性。
The purposes of this study were to investigate the possible factors impacting mathematics learning and the effect of an intervention for the children of foreign spouse. Two children of a foreign spouse in one class were selected to participate in this study. Data were collected and analyzed through observations, interviews, and document collection. The results indicated that participants' mathematics learning difficulties included: 1. the family provided little support, student's mathematics learning was viewed with a negative attitude; 2. the cultural background is weak, the language skills are poor; 3. there is a lack of self-confidence in learning mathematics, asking of questions, and participating in small-group discussions. After the teaching intervention, the participants' performance on ”four operations on integers” and ”the addition and subtraction of fractions” was much improved.
