學習表現為教育社會學中的重要議題，其中城鄉間的學習表現差距受到重視。過去研究認為家庭背景與地區的教育資源是影響學生學習表現的主要因素，然而這些研究缺乏班級因素與同儕效果的分析。因此本研究使用台灣教育長期追蹤資料庫（Taiwan Education Panel Survey, TEPS）在2001年與2003年的國中生樣本，以階層線性模型（Hierarchical Linear Modeling, HLM）分析國一班級同儕學習投入對國三數學表現的影響，學習投入以學生為課業所付出的時間為指標。分析結果發現：(1)學生數學表現的總變異中有24%來自班級因素的影響，76%為學生因素。(2)國三數學表現、個人學習投入與班級同儕學習投入有城鄉差距。(3)在控制其他變項下，個人學習投入、班級同儕學習投入對數學表現有正向效果。(4)班級所在地區的都市化程度透過班級同儕學習投入間接影響國三數學表現。 / Academic performance has been an important topic of research on educational sociology for a long time, while urban-rural differences have been already well documented in literatures. In the past, the literature indicated that the key factors to affecting academic performance are family background and the educational resources. But these researches have ignored the factors of class level and peer effects. In this study, the data are from Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS) in 2001 and 2003, use Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) to assess how peer engagement affects junior high students’ mathematics performance. The time students spend in studying is an index of engagement. The main finding are: (1) This research model accounts for 76% of the variation in student level and for 24% of the class variation in class level with regard to mathematical performance. (2) Students in the urban and rural city show a differences in their mathematics performance, student’s own engagement and peer engagement. (3) When controlling variables, student’s own engagement and peer engagement have positive effect on mathematics performance. (4) Urbanization levels indirectly affect mathematics performance through peer engagement.

在全球化趨勢下，地方競爭將取代國家的競爭，地方是國家能否與全球競爭之關鍵，提高地方的競爭優勢與發展地方經濟是各國政府努力的目標。財政制度對長期地方發展扮演重要角色。透過政府間的權限與財源之劃分，一方面可使政府所提供之財貨和勞務適應不同地方人民偏好之制度效率目標，進而使所得成長；另方面可維持全國一致性和地方間的發展平衡，避免各地方所得分配過度懸殊的公平目標。良好的財政制度必須能提升各政府部門自我負責性及經濟效率，促進地方所得成長卻不會傷害地方間均衡發展之公平目標。本文以單根檢定法分析發現民國72年至93年間我國政府部門財政制度變遷，以及民國88年以後財政收支劃分法修正後財政制度調整，的確使政府間財政資源分配更趨向公平，但多個地方政府間財政自主程度並未提升且差異大。又透過民國79年至93年23個直轄市與縣市地方政府長期追蹤資料，分析發現我國財政制度在地方發展上扮演非常重要角色。財政分權制度與地方政府財政收支制度的確對各地方所得成長率與地方所得分配有顯著影響效果。但地方政府財政收支制度無法發揮效率，對地方發展有不利影響。88年財政制度調整後地方財政制度對地方發展之不利影響並未有所改善。本文根據研究結果提出制度建議，以作為未來制定地方財政制度與地方發展政策之參考。 / Local governments faced severe fiscal imbalance problems for a long time, caused in part by long-term structural imbalances between their spending and revenue requirements. May be financial structural has positive consequences on local economic development. The article examines the relationship between the fiscal structure of local government and local economic development. Although most prior empirical studies present inconsistent findings about the effects of local taxing and spending policies, but more empirical works conclude that local income growth relates negatively to tax increases if the revenue finances income redistribution, but not if the revenue finances public services. The study examines these issues with more recent panel data of Taiwan and with more careful attention the effects of fiscal decentralization. We conclude that local economic development relates negatively to local tax increases if the revenue finances local public service . Local Financial structural and fiscal decentralization have negative consequences on local economic development.

個人學習動機向來被認為是影響學習成就的重要因素，但是家庭也對學生的學習提供特定的脈絡條件。因此，在探討學生學習成就與時間發展效應之時，若能同時納入個人與家庭因素，並探討其間的交互作用，將能對於兩者的影響力進行客觀的檢驗。本研究的目的主要在探討臺灣青少年學習成就的成長軌跡變化型態，以及家庭文化資本與個人學習動機對於學習成就成長軌跡的影響機制。其中學生的文化資本是來自家庭父母所傳遞下來的先天條件，係屬於一種結構因素；而學生的學習動機則是來自個人後天的努力與學習的正向動力，係屬於一種個人因素。具體而言，本研究目的分為三個主要的研究議題，首先，根據Bourdieu（1977）的文化資本概念，以及Bandura（1977, 1986, 1997）與McInerney和McInerney（1994）的學習動機觀點，探討這兩個重要解釋變數對於各波學生學習成就的影響情形；再者，根據Sternberg（1985, 1986, 1988）的智力三元論觀點探討學生學習成就的成長變化情形；最後，探討文化資本與學習動機對於學生學習成就成長軌跡的交互作用效果。 研究資料取自臺灣教育長期追蹤資料庫（Taiwan Educational Panel Survey）的四波追蹤樣本，以潛在成長曲線模式進行次級資料分析。研究結果發現：1.臺灣青少年的學習成就成長軌跡呈現非線性的遞增漸緩的成長曲線；學生在學習成就的起始能力與成長速率存在個別差異，且學生的起始能力與成長速率具有正向的關係，顯示隨著時間的遞移，起始能力高與低的學生，其能力的差距會逐漸擴大。2.文化資本與學習動機對於學習成就成長軌跡的影響未具交互作用，顯示個人的學習動機並不能減緩或反轉文化資本對於學生學習成就的影響。3.文化資本與學習動機對於學生學習成就的主要效果，在學習的早期階段，存在正向的影響效果，但影響力會隨著時間而逐漸降低。4.文化資本係影響學生學習成就成長軌跡的重要因素，文化資本的豐富與不足會加劇學生學習成就的差距，因而造成強者恆強、弱者恆弱的「馬太效應」現象。最後，依據上述的研究發現，分別提出教育實務上、未來研究與對資料庫研究的建議，以供相關教育人員與研究者參考。 / Individual motivation has always been recognized as the key factor for influencing the students’ learning achievement. However, the family of the students is also considered as an important contextual determinant. As a result, in order to analyze the students’ learning achievement against the temporal effect of time, it is imperative that the factor of family background should be included for understanding the interaction of the factors on the learning achievement. The primary goal of this study is to inquiry the patterns the development and change of learning achievement growth trajectory of the Taiwan adolescent. Particularly, this study explores the effects of family cultural capital and learning motivation on adolescent learning achievement growth trajectory. By definition, family cultural capital which is a structural factor refers to the inherent characteristics that are passed down from the students’ parents. On the other hand, the students’ learning motivation which is a personal factor refers to the extrinsic factor that arises from later days’ hard work and positive learning efforts. In terms of research objectives, this study tries to integrate the Bourdieu’s (1977) perspective of cultural capital, and Bandura’s (1977, 1986, 1997) as well as McInerney and McInerney’s (1994) concept of learning motivation into a framework for examining the effects of the learning growth of different waves of students. Secondly, by applying the Sternberg’s (1985, 1986, 1988) triarchic theory of intelligence to examine the changes of the students’ learning growth trajectory. Finally, to analyze the interaction between the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on their learning achievement trajectory. The data using in this study was selected from the longitudinal database Taiwan Educational Panel Survey (TEPS). A total of four waves of students’ data were downloaded and analyzed as secondary data using the latent growth curve modeling (LGCM). Major results of the study were followed: First, the learning achievement trajectory of Taiwan adolescents’ seemed to be gradually growing in a non-linear incremental curve; it also shown that at the beginning the students’ learning achievement displayed significant individual differences. Likewise results also revealed a positive relationship between the students’ initial status and growth rate of learning achievement. That is, as the passing of time, the initial status of learning achievement affected the growth of disparity among the students. Second, there were no significant interaction effect between the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on the learning achievement growth trajectory. This means that the students’ learning motivation cannot moderate the effects of cultural capital towards the learning achievement. Third, results revealed that the main effects of the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on the learning achievement were occurred on the early stages of learning. A significant positive effect was found in these stages, however, the positive effect gradually decreased along with the passing of time. Fourth, it was found that the minimal effect of students’ cultural capital on their learning achievement growth trajectory was determined by the abundance or deficiency of the former. The amount of cultural capital also determined the distance of the students’ gap. In other words, a phenomenon of the Mathew effect was supported; wherein the students who are in a strong stand will get stronger later on, while the weak shall get weaker. Besides the findings mentioned above, recommendations for further study and limitations of the present study were given at the end.

本研究採用「台灣教育長期追蹤資料庫」（TEPS）調查結果，對台灣地區高中職學生個人特徵、家庭背景以及學生生活進行次級資料分析，探討各種因素與學業表現之關聯性。 　　本研究選取資料庫中之9,750樣本數，以資料庫綜合分析能力測驗成績作為應變數，選取性別及手足數目等12個自變數，以Logit Model為實證模型分析，再以Ordered Probit Model進行實證結果穩健性檢驗（Robustness Check），發現兩者結果呈現一致性，本研究發現： 一、男性成績較女性成績為佳，曾經或現在就讀資優班者成績較為優異。 二、家庭手足數目對學生學業成績表現有負向影響，雙親教育程度、家庭收入愈高及家庭文化資本愈豐富對子女學業表現有正向顯著影響；家庭親子關係、父母閱讀頻率對於子女學業表現則無顯著影響。 三、補習、參加社團活動以及校隊培訓對學業成績有正向影響；打工及結交行為偏差朋友則對學業成績有負向影響。 　　本研究提出教育政策方向建議如下： 一、建議文創產業主管機關以差別取價之價格誘因方式提高親子參與藝文活動之意願，並持續鼓勵文創產業提供學校學生及家長參與藝文展演活動機會。 二、教育主管機關應持續執行對（中）低收入戶子女學雜費補助之政策，並建立對高中職學校社團活動之管理制度，另應加強學生品性教育管理。 / This study analyzes the association between personal characteristics, family background, the life of students and academic achievement of students in senior high school. The data have adapted Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS). The research has used 9,750 samples in the database. The dependent variable is the test scores of students while the independent variables are gender, the number of sibling, etc. This study has used Logit Model for empirical analysis and Ordered Probit Model for robustness check of the results. The research findings indicate that both models have similar conclusions, which are shown as follows. Firstly, the academic achievement of males is better than that of females. Moreover, students who are in the gifted and talented class have a better performance than those who are not in. Secondly, the number of sibling has a negative effect on academic achievement; whereas the education background of the parents, income and cultural capital of the family are as the opposite. The frequency of reading and the relationship between parents and children have no significant influence on academic achievement. Thirdly, the student who goes to cram school or participates in extracurricular activities has a positive influence on his/her academic achievement. However, the student with the part-time job or bad-behavior friends has a negative influence on his/her academic achievement. Therefore, the authorities should encourage parents and their children to participate in cultural activities through offering economic incentives and the tuition subsidies for low-income households continuously.

本研究使用「臺灣教育長期追蹤資料庫」第二波（2003）國三與第三波（2005）高二的CP追蹤數據，採用反事實模型框架下的傾向分數配對法估計單一性別環境對臺灣高中女生選組行爲（自然組／社會組）的因果效應。使用學生進入高中前的國三資料，本研究在學生因素，家庭因素和學校、班級因素三個方面充分平衡處置組（進入女校）和控制組（進入男女合校）的樣本，使配對樣本之間除了進入女校或進入男女合校之外，在以上三個方面儘可能相等，嘗試克服觀察性數據因選擇性偏誤問題對因果效應的估計帶來的阻礙。結果顯示，在進行傾向分數配對後，處置組和控制組之間達到了很好的平衡，進入女校的女生與進入男女合班的男女合校中的女生相比，女校顯著地促進了高中女生選自然組的機率，然而該效應在數學成績水平不同的女生中存在異質性，女校顯著地促進了數學成績處於高水平的女生的選擇自然組的行爲。作爲教育分流的重要組成部分，臺灣高中生選組行爲的性別隔離長期存在，選組行爲與學生未來大學科系選擇和職業選擇關係密切，自然組中低比例的女生組成顯現出隱藏的教育機會不平等。該現象長期存在的背後因素，除了學生個人因素和學生家庭背景因素帶來的影響，本研究關注學校這一角色對高中女生選組行爲的影響。 / Based on the Taiwan Educational Panel Survey’s core panel data from wave 2 (junior high school/9th grade) and wave 3 (high school/11th grade), researcher applies the propensity score analysis in counterfactual framework to study the causal effect of single-sex schooling on high school girls’ curriculum tracking (science track or humanity track) selection. Observational data always be the obstacles of making the causal analysis because it's lacking random assignment and being under threat of selection bias and unobserved variables. Using the pretreatment variables from students in 9th grade, students in the treatment group were matched with those in control groups by the individual factors, family factors and school, classroom environment factors. After matching, students come from different groups are supposed to be relatively equivalent on all the matching variables except for attending single-sex school or not. The researcher can make suitable comparison and prediction between well-matched samples. The result shows that more girls in single-sex high schools tend to choose science track. Effect of single-sex schooling is not the same among girls with different level of math scores. It benefits girls with top math performance significantly. As an important part of the educational tracking system, alternative curriculum tracking selection in Taiwan high school is worth noteworthy. The long lasting gender segregation is closely associated with students college major as well as occupation selection and it reveals the hidden educational inequality between gender. Other than focusing on the individual and family background effect on high school girls’ curriculum tracking selection, this study highlights the school effect on it.
