高職學生正處於職涯探索期,健康的自我概念可以引導學生做出適當選擇,強化學習動機並發展出明確的生涯發展藍圖。本研究試圖了解:(1)當前高職畜保科學生自我概念、學習動機及生涯發展的現況;(2)比較個人背景變項間的差異;(3)探討高職畜保科學生自我概念、學習動機與生涯發展的相關性;(4)探討學生自我概念對生涯發展的預測性。並據以提出結論及建議。本研究採用自編「高職農業類科學生學習經驗調查問卷」進行,將問卷分成四部份:1.為個人基本資料;2.自我概念量表;3.生涯發展量表;4.學習動機量表。以全國9所高職畜產保健科二、三年級學生為對象進行調查,獲得有效樣本574份,所得資料以獨立樣本t-test、單因子變異數分析、多元迴歸分析等方法進行統計分析。 根據本研究參考之文獻與調查所得結果獲得各項結論如下: 一、 男、女生的差異,在自我概念部份,男生的生理我、心理我、社會我及整體自我概念發展的較女同學好;至於學習動機與生涯發展上男生女生沒有差別。 二、 三年級學生不論在自我概念、學習動機及生涯發展現況皆明顯較二年級為好。 三、 居住地城鄉差距會影響學生自我概念發展,但在學習動機及生涯發展則無顯著差異;高社經地位的學生其整體自我概念及學習執行意志較佳;學業成績的高低其自我概念、學習動機、生涯發展有顯著差異。 四、 自我概念的發展會影響學生的生涯發展,且學習動機與生涯發展各分項間有高度的正相關。 五、 在預測高職畜保科學生生涯發展上,整體自我概念的影響性最大,R2達43.4%。 本次的研究結果中也進一步的證實了學生的自我概念、學習動機與學業成績間的因果關係,期能對教育現場有幫助。
This study aims to investigate the relationships among self-concept, learning motivation and career development of vocational high school students. The purposes of the research were (1) to assess a self-concept, learning motivation and career development inventory of animal sciences and health care major students, (2) to investigate the influence of variables, i.e. gender, grade, urban/rural, family social-economic status (SES), (3) to investigate the correlations among students’ self-concept, learning motivation and career development, (4) to predict the students’ career development. The subjects of this study were 574 students in 9 agriculture vocational high schools at Taiwan, who major in animal sciences and health care. “Scales of the Measurement of Self-Concept of Vocational High School Student”, “The Measurement of Learning Motivation” and “The Measurement of Career Development” were used to collect the data. Descriptive Statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were adopted to analyze the data. The major findings of this study are as follows: 1. There were no significant differences based on gender in learning motives and career development, but male vocational high school students showed higher Physical, Personal, Social and Academic levels than female students in self-concept. 2. There were significant differences of self-concept, learning motives and career development based on students’ grade. Senior students had higher scores of self-concept, learning motives and career development than sophomore students. 3. There were significant differences of self-concept but not of learning motives and career development based on students’ living area in terms of urban and rural area. 4. Higher SES levels students had higher scores of self-concept and volition than low SES students. 5. There were significant positive correlations among students’ self-concept, learning motives, and career development for vocational high school students major in animal sciences and health care. 6. Students’ scores of self-concept could predict their career development significantly, the R2 were 43.4%. Several suggestions regarding students’ career counseling were provided in the final section.
