原住民國中生一直處於不利的語言學習環境中，因而在英語學習的過程中，潛在一些值得探索的問題，包括學習態度與動機。本研究旨在探討臺灣現行英語教學對原住民國中生學習態度與動機的成效；同時，本研究也探討原住民家長的態度，以期能對其子女的英語學習有所助益。 本研究資料分別取自新竹縣二所國中的190位學生(106位原住民: 84位非原住民)及162位家長(78位原住民: 84位非原住民)的問卷，並採用三種統計方法進行分析：描述性統計、獨立樣本T檢定、斯皮爾曼等級相關。資料分析結果如下: 1.原住民國中生對英語學習的整體態度和非原住民國中生一樣高。 2.原住民國中生對英語課程的滿意度和非原住民國中生一樣，皆為中級滿意度。 3.原住民國中生的父母對英語學習的正面態度及支持度和非原住民國中生的父母一樣高。 4.與原住民國中生的英語學習動機有顯著相關的因素為：學習英語的態度、子女對父母支持英語學習的認知、對英語課程的滿意度。 本研究亦發現原住民國中生的正面態度與動機並未因而帶動學習風氣；另外，原住民學生的家長並未因為對英語學習持肯定的態度與支持度而主動參與子女的學習中。 / The disadvantageous language learning environment which aboriginal junior high school students are placed in contributes to some potential problems in the process of their English learning, including attitudes and motivation. An aim of this study was to investigate whether the current context of English teaching in Taiwan affect aboriginal junior high school students’ attitudes toward the language and motivation in learning it. Two self-report questionnaires were respectively distributed to 190 8th- and 9th- grade students (106 aborigines vs. 84 non-aborigines) and 162 parents (78 aborigines vs. 84 non-aborigines) from two junior high schools in Hsin-Chu. Three statistical methods were conducted to analyze the data collected. They were the descriptive statistics, the independent sample t-test, and Spearman rank-order correlation. The findings of the study are summarized. First, aboriginal students’ overall attitudes toward English learning were as high as those of non-aboriginal ones. Second, aboriginal students were as motivated to learn English as their non-aboriginal counterparts on account of the medium degree of satisfaction with English classes existing in both of them. Third, like those of non-aboriginal students, parents of aboriginal students presented very positive attitudes toward and support for English learning. Finally, the variables that significantly correlated with aboriginal students’ motivation in learning English were “their attitudes toward English learning,” “their perceptions of parents’ support for English learning,” and “the degree of their satisfaction with English classes.” The results of the study also revealed that aboriginal students were not exposed to English more often outside the classroom in spite of their positive attitudes and motivation. Besides, in spite of the positive attitudes toward and support for English learning, parents of aboriginal students did not involve themselves in the process of learners’ English learning.

This study examined the student's achievement, attitude toward science, and self-concept of ninth grade physical science students in an individualized science program and ninth grade physical science students in a traditional science class. The research was conducted to ascertain the effect of individualized instruction upon the achievement, attitude, and self-concept of inner-city junior high school science students, and to analyze the implications of these effects for administrators, teachers, counselors, and others who are interested in the optimum achievement of students to science instruction. The sample size was 150 ninth grade physical science students enrolled in an individualized science program and 150 ninth grade physical science students enrolled in a traditional program. The students were administered the Stanford Achievement Test: Science, Remmer's Attitude Toward Any School Subject Scale, and the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale. The experimental design of the study was patterned after the posttest only control group design. Preliminary data were obtained for each student within each participating class. The preliminary data were used for establishing group equivalence and as a concomitant observation in the analysis of covariance. The preliminary data were obtained from the permanent records of each participating school and involved the student's age, I.Q., natural science achievement level, and composite achievement level. From the data found in this study and in the related research, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. Physical science students taught by the individualized science program do not achieve at a significantly higher level, as measured by a standardized achievement test in science, than do students taught by the traditional method. 2. Physical science students taught by the individualized program do not differ significantly from the students of traditional physical science in attitude toward science. 3. Physical science students taught by the individualized program do not differ significantly from the students of traditional physical science on a standard self-concept scale. 4. The student variables of I.Q., background in natural science, and composite achievement level are important factors in successful achievement in physical science. 5. The student variables of I.Q., background in natural science, and composite achievement level are important factors in attaining a high positive attitude toward science. The I.Q. of the student seems to be the most important of the above factors. 6. The student variables of I.Q. and natural science achievement are important factors in attaining a high self-concept. 7. There was a significant relationship between grade point average in science and student achievement in science. 8. There was a significant relationship between grade point average in science and attitude toward science. 9. There was a significant relationship between grade point average in science and self-concept.

競爭力一詞常被運用於國家、組織或績效評比表現的效標，近年來被用於探討個體在環境中因應競爭的能力或表現。過去研究顯示具有個人競爭力的大學生或職場員工，有較好的生活適應。本研究之目的在瞭解國中階段個人競爭力之內涵，編製國中生個人競爭力量表以作為測量工具，了解國中生個人競爭力之現況，和分析不同背景變項之國中生其個人競爭力的差異，並進一步探討個人競爭力與生活適應之關係。 本研究先以文獻探討、訪談和問卷收集資料以了解國中生個人競爭力之內涵，並經預試分析後，正式施測以台北縣市429位國中生為研究對象進行問卷調查，研究結果發現：(1)國中生個人競爭力之內涵包括：自我管理、人際相處能力、解決問題能力、家庭資源、競爭態度和與人為善等六個因素。（2）台北地區國中生個人競爭力為中上程度，不同性別和年級之國中生其個人競爭力沒有差異。（3）國中生個人競爭力與生活適應有顯著高相關。（4）從個人競爭力對生活適應各向度之預測分析結果發現，自我管理對自我定向、社會適應、學習適應、自我意識、工作適應和自我勝任等生活適應向度具有最高的預測力；人際相處能力對人際關係之生活適應有最高的預測力；家庭資源對家庭適應具有最高的預測力。依據研究結果及發現，本研究對國中生個人、家長和教育與諮商輔導人員提出培養個人競爭力之建議。 / The word “competitiveness” was usually used to determine the characterizations for efficiency evaluation of countries, organizations.
