碩士 / 國立臺中教育大學 / 美術學系碩士在職專班 / 104 / This study aimed to understand the acquisition of art education among junior high school students from immigrant families. The following are explored: immigrant students’ attitudes toward art learning, attitude differences towards visual arts between immigrant students and native students, attitude differences towards visual arts between immigrant students of different ethnicity, and attitudes of immigrant students’ mothers toward their children artistic education. The study conducted a questionnaire-based survey along with a semi-structured interview on respectively one hundred immigrant students and one hundred native students of four public junior high schools located in the coastal regions of Yunlin County. The instrument of this study was “Questionnaire of New Immigrant Children Attitudes toward Arts”. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, x² test, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Twelve immigrants children and 5 immigrant mothers were interviewed. The results are as follows:
1. Immigrant children attitudes toward art education, though positive, still leave some room
for improvement. Among all the researched dimensions of attitudes, the most positive
was “attitudes towards value and function in art education”, followed by “ attitudes towards
multicultural art”, “attitudes towards art learning”, “attitudes towards putting art into
practice ” , and “attitudes towards participation in art-related activities.”
2. Significant differences are observed in the “attitudes towards multicultural art”, whereas
the other dimensions show no significant differences.
3. Significant differences are observed in gender and the experience of art education, whereas no significant differences are reported in variables such as grade level, socioeconomic status, numbers of siblings, art field trips and after-school art classes.
4. Interviews on immigrant children show their favorable opinions of elementary school art classes and continued positive attitudes toward arts curriculum during junior school years. However, subject to geographical constraints, family support and academic demands, the actual practice of art in life appears passive.
5. Though the interviews reveal a lack of complete, systematic art education on the part of the immigrant mothers, the mothers remained supportive of their children’s learning of art. However, living in the remote and coastal regions prevented them from taking their children to field art trips and events.
