最近,有關新移民女性(或稱外籍新娘)及其子女(或稱新臺灣之子)的消息經常躍然於媒體報章上,有些對於她們處於經濟劣勢與社會地位弱勢的處境付予同情,有些認為她們的數量增加有降低臺灣人口素質、降低國家競爭力之虞,有些則認為應該幫助她們在生活、語言、學習、文化等方面的學習。此外,許多研究也指出,政府機構已針對她們的需求擬訂許多教育政策和支援措施。隨著近年新臺灣之子入學人數增加,研究者認為,目前最為迫切需要者在於推動新臺灣之子的移民教育課程改革,同時亦將新移民女性的學習一同納入改革系統。基此,本研究採文獻探討、文件分析及訪談法。研究目的有三:一、瞭解外國的移民教育概況;二、探討新臺灣之子可能面臨的教育困境;三、探究目前新臺灣之子的教育支援政策與課程調適方案。最後根據研究結果,提出若干建議。
