摘要 本研究調查學業成就和體適能表現對於國小高年級學童自尊的解釋力,並比較兩者解釋力的差異。研究假設1:國小高年級學童學業成就愈高,個人自尊認知愈好;假設2:國小高年級學童體適能表現愈好,個人自尊認知愈好;假設3:學業成就比體適能表現對國小高年級學童的自尊影響大。 本研究以中部某國小高年級學生為主要對象,針對五、六年級所有學生共618人,樣本男生300人,女生318人。收集兩次月考的學業成績、測量5項體適能項目 (BMI、坐姿體前彎、立定跳遠、仰臥起坐、心肺適能)、使用Rosenberg 自尊量表量測學童自尊。Pearson 相關係數分析顯示學業成就和自尊顯著正相關 (r=0.16, p<.05),假設1獲得支持。體適能5項指標和自尊的關係不顯著,假設2未獲支持。由於只有學業成就和自尊有正相關,體適能和自尊無顯著關係,所以學業成就對自尊的影響大於體適能對自尊的影響,假設3獲得支持。
Abstract This study attempted to investigate the predictions of the academic achievement and physical fitness performance for the fifth and sixth graders on self-esteem, and to compare the prediction power of the academic achievement and the prediction power of the physical fitness performance. It was hypothesized that (1) the level of academic achievement and self-esteem will be positively related; (2) the level of physical fitness and self-esteem will be positive related; (3) the influence of academic achievement on self-esteem is greater than the influence of physical fitness on self-esteem. From an elementary school in the middle of Taiwan, all the fifth and sixth 618 graders were recruited as participants. Their scores of the mid-term and final exams were collected as measures of academic achievement; the measures of physical fitness included body composition, flexibility, standing long jump, sit-ups, and cardiovascular endurance. In addition, the self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis showed that academic achievement and self-esteem significantly related (r = 0.16, p <.05). The first hypothesis was supported. The five indicators of physical fitness were re-encoded by quintiles and aggregated. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis showed that physical fitness and self-esteem was not significant. The second hypothesis was not supported. Since the relationship between academic achievement and self-esteem was significant but the relationship between physical fitness and self-esteem was not significant, this indicated that the influence of academic achievement on self-esteem was greater than the influence of physical fitness on self-esteem. The hypothesis 3 was supported.
