摘要

經濟學家指出，我們需要超越過去客觀幸福生活的指標，更重視主觀幸福感、能動性、能力來做為移民政策的基礎。然而，台灣目前的相關新住民子女研究卻很少從主觀幸福感和能動性的角度切入研究。而由於能動性的概念仍然有許多爭論存在，因此本研究進一步從Giddens能動性的理論為基礎，來思考現有的研究發現，並探討未來研究的可能方向。結果發現，現有的研究偏向新住民子女如何「適應」主流社會，而不是發展其「能動性」的能力。本文藉由進一步的探討，提出二種未來研究的重要具體方向。第一是透過微觀的身體經驗感受，來理解新住民子女所處社會位置中的問題，藉此提昇他們的意識反思，以協助達到其主觀幸福感。第二是透過中觀的社群實踐，來理解新住民子女與社會特定社群成員的實踐互動，借此理解其所受到的限制或展現能動性的策略，來做為未來教育政策與實踐的重要依據。

According to economists, we should think beyond the objective well-being indicators and pay more attention to the subjective well-being, agency, and capability of immigrants as the basis of immigration policy. However, few studies on the children of new immigrants in Taiwan have been conducted from the perspective of subjective well-being and agency. Since the concept of agency is still controversial, this study further considers the current research findings based on Giddens' theory of agency and explores possible directions for future study. It was found that current studies have focused on how children of new immigrants adapt to mainstream society rather than on developing their agency. This paper proposes two concrete directions for future studies through further investigation. First is to understand, at the micro level, the problems of the social position of the new immigrant children through their embodied experience and feelings to raise their conscious reflection and achieve their subjective well-being. Second is to understand, at the meso level, the interactions of new immigrant children with specific community members in communities of practice, so as to understand their constraints and the agentic strategies they utilize, which will serve as an important reference for future educational policies and practices.
