高中學生參與科技競賽的動機及其與競賽成績之相關性研究

在升學王義高漲的時代，高中學生王動報名參加與學校課業學習無關的科技創作競賽，其參與的動機實值得進一步探究，而動機的強弱與競賽的成績間的關聯為何？動機類別在不同領域有不同的取向，本研究從文獻探討中粹取出「知識學習」、「人際互動」和「成就傾向」等三個動機面向編製問卷進行調查研究。研究對象為參加第五屆「全國高中生高溫超導磁浮創意競賽」的參賽學生，以問卷調查方式，量測研究對象在知識學習、人際互動和成就傾向三個類別中的動機特質，並探討其參與動機和創意競賽成績的相關情形。研究結果發現如下：一、參賽學生之參與動機對創意競賽成績無顯著性的影響。二、高中女生在整體參與動機的表現上比男學生強。三、隊長的身份角色明顯，參與動機較隊員強烈。四、有社團幹部經驗的學生對於成就榮譽表現出較強的動機。五、高一和高二學生比高三學生表現出更高的參與動機。
