摘 要 近20年來,隨著跨國婚姻的遽增,台灣新移民及其子女數日益增加,已成為台灣第五大族群。在過去關於新移民的研究中,多以生活適應、一般性教育問題為主,且集中在國小部份的學習居多,關於國中數學學習的探討則較少,故本研究主要是以桃園縣八年級新移民子女與一般生(不含原住民)作為研究對象,採控制性別、學區、國語文能力與社經地位條件下,進行配對及問卷調查。透過收集這群孩子從一年級至八年級的數學學業成績,與數學學習情形之問卷調查,期望藉此了解新移民子女的數學學業成績長期變化情形,並分析其與一般生在數學學習上的差異,同時探討可能影響其數學學業成績之相關因素。 本研究結果如下: 一、新移民子女之數學學業成績平均,呈現先升後降的趨勢。 二、新移民子女數學學業成績之個別差異大,且在高年級階段逐漸定型。 三、新移民子女之間數學學業成績表現,並不受母親國籍的影響。 四、新移民子女間之數學學業成績,從高年級開始持續落後一般生。 五、影響新移民子女與一般生數學學業成績差異的因素有「數學學習態度」(個人因素)與「寫數學作業的頻率」(學校因素)。 六、影響新移民子女間數學學業成績差異的因素有「個人學歷的期望」、「數學學習態度」、「父母對其子女的教育期望」與「國中是否補習」。
Abstract International marriages have dramatically increased in the past 20 years, resulting in an increasing number of new immigrants and their children in Taiwan. Consequently, they have become Taiwan's fifth largest ethnic group. Previous studies on new immigrants mostly focused on the issues of adaptation and general education, especially on learning problems in elementary school. There were few researches on mathematics learning in junior high school. Based on the reason, this study mainly aims at exploring new immigrant children and general students (excluding indigenous peoples) of eighth graders in Taoyuan County as the objects of this study, In conditions of controlling genders, school districts, Mandarin language proficiency, and socioeconomic status, we used matching and questionnaires to conduct a survey in a hope that data collection about the academic performances and learning of mathematics from the first to the eighth grade by these children can be used to understand the long-term changes and situation on mathematics academic performance of new immigrant children. Furthermore, we conducted an analysis of non-immigrant students’ mathematics learning differences and explored relevant factors that may affect their mathematics academic performance. The findings of this study are as follows: 1. The average of mathematics academic performance of new immigrant children rises in the beginning and falls after wards. 2. The individual differences of new immigrant children in mathematics academic performance are great; however, it turns gradually stable when they are higher graders. 3. The mathematics academic performances of new immigrant children are not affected by their mothers’ nationalities. 4. Mathematics academic performances of new immigrant children in continued to lag behind the non-immigrant students when they are higher-graders. 5. Factors which affect the differences of mathematics academic performances for new immigrant children and of non-immigrant students are “mathematics learning attitude” (individual factors) and “frequency of writing mathematics homework” (school factors). 6. Factors which affect the differences of mathematics academic performance among new immigrant children are “personal educational expectations”,“attitude towards learning mathematics”,“parental educational expectations to their children”,and “whether to take cram school lessons in junior high level”.
