母親國籍對子女教育表現的影響

本研究使用「台灣學生成就評量資料庫」2012 年小六、2013 年國二、2014 年高二共三年的調查資料，來探討母親國籍對子女教育表現的影響。我們以數學成績來衡量小孩的教育表現，主要是數學成績已被認為與未來人力資本有正向關係；主要自變數放入父母親國籍，區分為「台灣」、「中國」、「東南亞」、及「其他國籍」，並以台灣作為基準組。本文採用普通最小平方法（Ordinary Least Square），發現母親國籍對子女數學成績有所影響，母親為中國籍，其子女成績與台灣母親子女相差不大，但母親為東南亞籍，其子女成績有顯著負向影響。惟受資料問項不完整之影響，仍有諸多家庭背景因素未能控制於模型中，此為本研究之限制。

This study aims to investigate the influence of maternal nation on children’s education performance. Using three years survey data of the " Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement" in 2012 sixth grade, 2013 eighth grade, and 2014 eleventh grade. I measure children's educational performance by mathematics achievement, mainly because mathematic achievement has been considered to have a positive relationship with future human capital. The main independent variable is the indicator for nationality of parents, which are divided into "Taiwan", "China", "Southeast Asia", and "Other Nationalities", with Taiwan as the basement group. I employ the Ordinary Least Square(OLS) method with interactive terms, and find that the mother's nationality has an impact on the children's mathematics performance. Mothers from China do not have significant difference in children's performance, relative to Taiwanese mothers. However, mothers from Southeast Asian have significantly negative impact on children's performance. Due to the data limitation, this analysis still suffer from OVB problems which is caused by absence of background factors variables.
