Abstract
This research is in the discussion of unequal educational problems. The purpose is to probe parents¡¦ socioeconomic status has influences on children¡¦s educational achievement orientation and job types. In order to know weather the parents¡¦ socioeconomic status has effects on children¡¦s educational achievement orientation and choices of the job type, we add the concept of Bourdieu¡¦s cultural capital, parents¡¦ concern, financial capital, and students¡¦ activities participation as the intermediary variables.
The research uses questionnaire survey which main objects rely on skills-education students and ordinary class students. The survey adopts cluster sampling method to choose the sample. The research objects are skills-education students, second-grade and third-grade of junior high school in Tainan. The major findings are as follow:
1. The skills-education students and ordinary class students have differential resources. The skills-education students are less than ordinary class students on parents¡¦ concern, activities participation, and cultural capital.
2. The skills-education students are less than ordinary class students on academic degree expectation, educational achievement, job expectation, and job aspiration.
3. The father¡¦s level of education has shown some influence on the children¡¦s expectation and aspiration in terms of their education level and career choices. The higher the level of education attained by the father, the higher the expectation and aspiration will be of the children.
4. The father¡¦s education level will also influence on the availability of the recourses given to their children. The higher the father¡¦s level of education is the greater the concerns from the parents over the children and their participations in activities and cultural capital.
5. There is no financial capital difference shown from the being in either class or the father¡¦s educational level. Students from both classes have similar financial support regardless on the father¡¦s education levels.
6. The capitals of family will influence the achievement of children¡¦s education and advancements.
