國中低收入學生行為困擾、學習態度與學業成就之調查研究 更多文章

在一個開放而民主的社會中，機會均等是進步的必要條件；它使得各人的立足點達到一致，有相等發展天賦的機會。是故，教育機會的均等是辦理教育事業所應堅持的重要原則與最高理想。此包括下列三種觀念：第一、「均等」指的是「機會」的均等，而非「結果」的相等。第二、教育機會均等乃含有積3地提供彌補缺陷的機會，以便充分發展個人才能的意義。第三、教育機會均等不僅指入學機會的均等，而且還包含教育內容和教育情境的均等（註一）。家庭係人類社會最基本的團體，亦是個人社會化最重要的單位。家庭非但影響個人人格及社會行為之發展，而且亦影響個人接受教育的機會及程度。家庭背景與教育機會均等具有密切的關聯性，低收入家庭的子女，往往即是最需要學校教育來補償（Compensate）的一群。（註二）由於家庭背景的差異，往往形成不公平的社會現象。下層社會家庭的子女在經濟和文化上處於不利的地位，不僅觀念、態度深受影響；文化經驗的闕如，尤可能造成「文化貧乏」（cultural deprivation）或產生「教育障礙」（educationally handicapped），因而無法充分地發展潛能。他們的教育機會實際上已受到阻礙，以致教育機會平等的理想，難以達成。本研究基於此種觀點，探討低收入家庭背景對於子女的行為困擾、學習態度與學業成就的影響，並和非低收入家庭的子女作比較，以期進一步的認識和了解此一問題的真相，做為解決貧窮問題及促進教育機會均等的參考。
