The main purposes of this study were to explore civic consciousness, citizen participation and the influential factors of students of Taipei¡¦s community universities. This study adopted the questionnaire-survey approach. 553 students from six Taipei¡¦s community universities were randomly sampled by the researcher. The instrument for the study: ¡§the Questionnaire of Community Universities Students¡¦ Civic Consciousness and Citizen Participation¡¨ were developed by the researcher and included two scales, one was ¡§the Scale of Civic Consciousness¡¨ and the other was ¡§the Scale of Citizen Participation.¡¨ The methods for data analysis were descriptives, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, canonical correlation, and multiple stepwise regression.
The following five findings were concluded:
1. Students of Taipei¡¦s community universities had high civic consciousness, but their citizen participation showed the medium participation only.
2. The civic consciousness of students of Taipei¡¦s community universities differed in terms of respondents¡¦ personal variables and community- university variables.
3. The citizen participation of students of Taipei¡¦s community universities differed in terms of respondents¡¦ personal variables and community- university variables.
4. There was significant correlation between students¡¦ civic consciousness and citizen participation they showed.
5. The personal variables, community-university variables and civic consciousness of students of Taipei¡¦s community universities could be effective predictors for students¡¦ level of citizen participation.
Finally, some suggestions were raised to the community universities, the students of community universities, and future research.
