高職「中輟未復學生」及「中輟後復學生」中輟社會因素之比較研究林虹君 Unknown Date (has links)
本文主要探討高職學生中輟之社會影響因素,並藉由中輟生輟學後之追蹤,了解中輟生輟學後的工作或復學生活狀態。研究中將整體樣本稱為「全體中輟生」,中輟後未繼續就學者簡稱為「未復學組」,中輟後復學生簡稱為「復學生組」,並進行其中輟社會因素之比較分析研究。
中輟生在每位教師的眼中,除了是個問題學生之外,其實內心對他們是感到十分痛心及惋惜的,他們總是天真的以為休學一陣子後就會再回到學校就讀,但是復學的學生卻在少數,因為休學時所稱之總總因素的影響,並沒有隨著時間而改善,且社會的大染缸反而將他們越推越遠,無法再回到學校生活。
本研究為探討高職中輟生之中輟社會因素,試圖比較「中輟未復學生」與「中輟後復學生」兩組間的各項分析差異,並從以下幾個因素著手探討:家庭結構因素、家庭經濟因素、特殊社會身分、校系選擇因素及中輟生之社會連結關係等五大因素切入,探索幕後影響其中輟行為之動力。另一個研究重點是詳述中輟生目前的生活狀態,及分析他們重返校園的可能性。
本研究希冀研究結果能提供各界參考高職學生中輟之共同特點、因素,使教育單位越加重視高職學生之就學情況,莫因高職教育非義務教育,就如此忽視他們的中輟情形,致使高職生在中輟之後就一去不復返,沒有任何單位追蹤、了解其後的動向,導致中輟生之低學歷、低工作地位,而造成日後社會的負累。 / Dropout issue have been highly valued in the educational sociology for decades of years. While dropouts are normally regarded as the “outside system” ones comparing with students who are still inside the system of compulsory education, the dropouts who depart the non-compulsory education are less discussed. This study therefore demonstrates the problems after their suspension of schooling and tries to find the social factors that influence their decisions of dropouts.
Thirty dropouts are selected in this research from Nation Keelung Maritime School and defined as “resume” and “non-resume” ones. They are analyzed throughout their family structure, family income, social status, majors, and social network bonding by the comparison between these two groups.
Moreover,this research represents the non-resume dropouts’ working adaptation after their suspension, and the re-adoption of schooling those who chose to resume. This thesis is aimed to appeal attention on the suspension problems especially in the non-compulsory educational system and provide elaborating information for the Taiwan education.

從上下文推論字義教學對高職學生英文字彙學習之影響:個案研究 / The Effects of “Word Meanings Inferred from Context” Instruction in English Vocabulary Learning of Vocational High School Students: A Case Study陳泠錡, Ling-chi Chen Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討從上下文推論字義教學應用在高職英文字彙教學之效益。
本實驗之研究對象為台北縣某高職80位高二學生,所有的受試者依據其原班級,分為實驗及控制兩組,每組再依前一學年英文成績分為高分與低分兩組,實驗組接受推論字意教學法訓練,而控制組則採用傳統的字彙教學法。在教學實驗開始之前,所有的受試者均參加前測;教學實驗結束之後,所有的受試者再參加後測。前測與後測之題目相同,皆為Oxford的學習策略量表及Nation的單字程度測驗。教學時間每週20分鐘,共計12次,利用猜測字義測驗及文意字彙式短文測驗取得相關資料,各項資料經由次數分配、百分比、平均數、標準差、t考驗等統計分析探討學習成效,最後再對實驗組施以問卷調查,以期了解他們對從上下文推論字義教學之回應。
本研究的結果摘要如下:
一、英文字彙教學實驗之後,除了控制組低分組外,其他受測學生的學習策略都有小幅的進步,惟對於實驗組低分組學生進步達顯著水準。
二、英文字彙教學實驗之後,所有的受測學生在單字程度測驗答對題數均有些微增加,高分組的進步的幅度高於低分組,惟對於實驗組高分組學生進步達顯著水準。
三、文意字彙式短文測驗的成績,控制組較實驗組高,惟對於實驗組低分組與控制組低分組的分數差異達顯著水準。
四、實驗組推論字義的能力與文意字彙式短文字彙測驗的成績,不論對高分組或低分組都呈現高度相關。
五、在60個推論字義的單字測驗當中,實驗組所選出來較難推論的單字,其詞類依序為副詞、形容詞、動詞、名詞。
六、經問卷調查分析,實驗組對於從上下文推論字義教學大部份傾向於正面的肯定。
最後,本文根據研究結果,提出英語教育學上之應用以及未來研究之建議。 / The purpose of this study is to explore two instructional methods on vocational high school students: word meanings inferred from context and word meanings learned from translation. To reach the research goal, the study assumes the quasi-experimental method, which includes the pretest and the posttest.
The duration of this experimental teaching program is twelve weeks. A total of 80 sophomores coming from 2 classes at a vocational high school in northern Taiwan are involved in the study. One class is assigned as the experimental group, and the other one the control group. For further comparison, each group is divided into two proficiency subgroups, high and low, based on their English achievement scores in the last academic year. The experimental group receives “word meaning inferred from context” training while the control group is instructed in the traditional vocabulary teaching method.
Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and Nation’s Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) are selected as the test items in both the pretest and the posttest. Data for analysis are collected from two sources. One is the subjects’ scores on SILL and VLT, word-inferring test and words-in-context test, and the other comes from the questionnaire regarding the experimental group’s feedbacks and reflections on vocabulary learning through inferring. The collected data are analyzed by frequency distribution, percentage, means, standard deviation, and t-test.
The conclusions of the study are summarized as follows:
1. All the subjects make a little improvement after the experiment except the low achievers in the control group. The low achievers in the experimental group improve significantly in performance on language learning strategies.
2. Both the experimental group and the control group show certain progress in VLT. However, only the high achievers in the experimental group perform significantly better.
3. There exists a positive correlation between the subjects’ performance in word-inferring test and words-in-context test for the experimental group.
4. There is a significant difference in words-in-context test score between the low achievers in the experimental and those in the control group.
5. According to the responses of the experimental group, adverbs cause the heaviest learning burden, followed by adjectives, verbs, and nouns.
6. There is a fairly general agreement that the experimental group shows appreciation of the instruction.
Further pedagogical implications and suggestions for future studies are provided at the end of the study.

四技二專英文科測驗之演變與高職英文課程綱要之互動 / A Study on the Development of the English Tests of the Technological and Vocational Education Joint College Entrance Examination (TVEE) and its Interaction with the Guidelines of the Vocational High School English Program (VHSEP)劉妃欽, Liu, Fei Chin Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討四技二專英文科測驗與高職英文課程綱要之互動,分別從以下三方面來探討: 一、四技二專英文試題的發展歷程。二、高職英文課程綱要在不同階段的特色。三、四技二專英文科試題與高職英文課程綱要之互動。
本研究採試題定性分析法,以分析81年至97年四技二專英文科試題及76、87、95年教育部所頒布之高職英文課程綱要,同時參考相關之測驗、教學研究論文,探討四技二專英文科測驗與高職英文課程綱要之互動。主要發現如下:
第一, 81-87年四技二專英文科測驗的重點在於僅測驗學生單項的語言知識,且偏重學生的記憶力而非綜合分析的能力,題幹也較少提供足夠的情境及線索供受試者參考。測驗的重點與課程綱要在某方面有相呼應之處,例如著重文法及單項的語言知識;閱讀測驗的取材雖多樣化,設計卻有不當之處;另外, 課程綱要雖重視聽說讀寫技巧, 但測驗僅能測出讀的能力。
第二,88-89 年試題轉變為漸漸著重整合式試題及語言的使用,例如,發音及拼字不再出現,且因課程綱要鼓勵老師使用溝通式教學法,所以測驗的特質亦略具溝通式語文學習,取材的內容著重與生活相關。當時的課程綱要亦有此特色。然聽、說、寫能力並沒有被測驗出來,題幹所提供的線索不足,文法測驗停留於單句的測驗,都是與課程綱要不符合之處。
第三,90-97年為試題產生最大變革的階段,90年教育部成立技專校院入學測驗中心,負責命題、建立題庫、分析試題、開發新題型等工作。因此90年度之後考試題型固定,溝通式語文教學及測驗目標確定,多為整合式題型,題幹有足夠的線索及情境,整體理解重於局部理解。例如:文法測驗併入克漏字測驗, 閱讀測驗需應用閱讀策略。此時的課程綱要著重後設認知理論,要學生培養有效的學習策略,測驗有反應此特色。但聽、說、寫能力並沒有被測驗出來,這違反課程綱要的目標。
此研究結果對於四技二專英文科測驗及高職英文教學有相當的啟示,是值得投注更多關注與研究的領域。

本研究以北、中、南三區公私立高職廣告設計科應屆畢業生為研究對象。配合研究編製影響高職廣告設計科學生升學就業因素之探討問卷調查表,問卷分為「基本資料」及「問卷內容」兩部分,共寄發1,803份,回收1,361份,有效問卷共1,344份,回收率為75%。
研究方法則採取文獻分析、問卷調查,透過文獻分析以作為調查研究分析的基礎。在統計方面的使用上,依背景變項的特性而有差異,在「性別」變項上採用t-test的方法進行顯著性考驗。變項則採用單因子變異數分析(one-way ANOVA)來進行顯著性考驗。一旦達統計上顯著差異者,則進一步採用薛費法(Scheffé method test)來進行事後比較。
本研究歸納出主要結論如下:
一、就父母期望方面,不同性別、不同學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計工作經驗等有其差異性。在希望待遇擁有不同種類證照及張數、學業及實習成績方面則未有顯著性影響。
二、就父母期望方面,主要撫養者年齡、職業、教育程度及每月平均收入不同,則其看法亦有所不同。
三、就對廣告設計的願景上,背景變項不同,如不同性別、不同學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計經驗在希望待遇之影響不顯著。在證照、學業與實習成績上則有顯著的差異。
四、就對廣告設計的願景上,不同的家庭變項,並未呈現顯著的正相關。
五、就對廣告設計的興趣方面,其背景變項不同,亦呈現不同的差異性。如性別、區域、經驗、待遇上無差異性。而證照種類愈多、張數愈多則興趣愈高;學業與實習成績愈高,則興趣愈高。
六、就廣告設計的興趣上,其在家庭變項方面,不同年齡、不同職業之主要撫養者及家庭收入等未有顯著差異;而主要撫養者的教育程度會與其對廣告設計的興趣有顯著的相關性。
七、在個人升學、就業的意願方面,性別、學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計經驗、待遇、證照張數,未有明顯差異;而證照種類愈多,學業與實習成績愈高,則其升學與就業意願愈高。

高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念與實踐 / Vocational High School English Teachers' Beliefs and Practices in Integrating Vocabulary Learning Strategies into Their Instruction廖乙驊, Liao,I hua Unknown Date (has links)
回溯過去的研究,教師信念對於其教學行為影響非常深遠,但是對於字彙學習策略融入教學這個議題,相關的研究仍然不多。本研究旨在探討高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念還有實際的教學情形。文獻探討涵蓋字彙教學的發展、字彙學習策略的理論以及教師信念與實踐。
本研究所蒐集到的有效問卷為二百零一份,研究的對象為台灣的高職英文教師。研究方式採用量化的教師問卷佐以質性的教師訪談。共有八位教師參與本研究的訪談。訪談的內容經過整理分析,用來解釋或補充問卷統計的結果。分析問卷時,採用的統計方法有描述性統計、相關係數、單因子變異數分析。本研究的主題如下:(一) 教師信念及教學情形:分別以認知策略、社會策略、後設認知以及學習媒介等策略來探討、(二)教師信念與其實踐情形是否符合,與造成兩者之間不相符的可能原因以及(三)探討影響教師信念與實踐的各種因素。
本研究的主要發現是:
1. 教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學抱持相當正面的態度,而實踐程度是中低等以上。
2. 由於統計顯示教師信念和實踐是正相關,教師實踐和他們的信念大致符合,不過教師所面臨的一些問題如教學時數限制、學生動機、教科書的設計、資源不足等會使他們無法完全遵照其信念於教學。
3. 一些因素如教學年資、教師學歷、學生程度、英語教學時間長短、教師是否參加字彙相關研習,以及是否接觸學習策略相關的研究報告等確實會影響教師的教學信念與實踐。
本研究有助於了解高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念以及他們實踐的情形,希望能夠提升老師對於策略教學的覺知。研究者對於英文教師、師資培育機構、教育部還有教師書出版社提出建議改善之道,期望能進一步提升高職的英語教學。 / Although research has shown that teacher beliefs play a decisive role in teachers’ instructional judgments and decisions, their beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies have not gained enough attention in the recent English educational forum. This study aimed to explore what attitudes vocational high school English teachers held toward the instruction of vocabulary learning strategies and their practices of the beliefs. Literature review ranged from vocabulary instruction, vocabulary learning strategies to teachers’ beliefs and practices.
The participants of this study were vocational high school teachers in Taiwan. The data collection instruments were questionnaire and interview. The former provided mainly quantitative data and the latter qualitative data. A total of 201 valid questionnaires were analyzed and computed by means of descriptive statistics, correlation, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Eight teachers were contacted for the follow-up interviews. Their interview results were utilized to further support and explain the questionnaire data. There were three issues investigated in this study. The first one was teachers’ beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their instruction. Teachers’ beliefs and practices of cognitive strategies, social strategies, multiple sources, and metacognitive strategies were discussed. The second was the consistency and inconsistency between teachers’ beliefs and their practices and the possible problems that might cause the inconsistency. The third one was influential factors that affected teachers’ beliefs and practices.
Based on the results of the study, major findings were summarized. First, teachers approved highly of the integration of vocabulary learning strategies and the frequency of their practices ranged from low to high. Second, based on the significant correlation of teachers’ beliefs and practices, the relationship was generally consistent. However, teachers were not able to teach what they believed completely. Some of the strategies revealed larger gap due to the problems from the curriculum, students’ motivation, textbook design and teachers’ preparation. Third, variables such as teachers’ teaching experience, educational background, students’ BCT test score, instructional time, teachers’ attendance of workshops and their exposure to related research were found to be significant in affecting teachers’ beliefs and practices.
It is hoped that the study can contribute to more understanding of vocational high school teachers’ beliefs and practices in vocabulary learning strategies. Teachers may inspect their teaching process and raise the awareness of integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their teaching. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher further made suggestions to English teachers, teacher education institutes, the Ministry of Education and the textbook publishers. Results of this study might help enhance English teaching in vocational high schools.
