本研究探討國中學生家長社經地位、教養方式與英語學業成就之關係。研究採問卷調查法,以中部公立國中學生共460人為樣本,採描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、變異數分析、多變量變異數分析及多元迴歸等方法進行分析。研究結果如下:一、不同家長社經地位的國中學生其知覺父母教養方式沒有顯著差異。二、 國中學生英語學業成就因家長社經地位的不同有顯著差異:家長社經地位為中高社經地位之學生其英語學業成就高於中低社經地位之學生。三、國中學生英語學業成就不會因為父母教養方式的不同而有顯著差異。四、家長社經地位、父母教養方式對國中學生英語學業成就具有預測力。五、父親的忽視敵意及母親的溺愛保護對國中生的英語學業成就具有顯著不利的預測力。本研究依據研究結果進行討論,並提出親職教育、教學與輔導及未來研究上之建議。
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family socioeconomic status and parenting style have on the academic achievement in English of junior high school students in Taiwan. The data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, a t-test, ANOVA, MONOVA, and multiple stepwise regression. The results were as follows: 1. No significant statistical difference was found between socioeconomic status and parenting style. 2. A significant statistical difference was found between socioeconomic status and academic achievement in English in one case: the students from upper middle-class families performed better than those of lower middle-class families. 3. No significant statistical difference was found between a good parenting style and higher academic achievement in English. 4. Some categories of socioeconomic status and parenting style are good predictors of academic achievement in English. 5. A neglectful-abusive father and an indulgent-protective mother both have an adverse influence on academic achievement in English. Based on these results, suggestions are made for parents, educators, and researchers undertaking further study on this topic.
