Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系碩士在職專班 === 97 === The main purpose of this research is to explore how junior high school students perceive their advisors’ sense of humor and ways of discipline and how their perception influences the classroom climate and students’ learning motivation. There are four purposes included in this research: (1) Develop a scale which is able to evaluate the students’ perceptions of their advisors’ sense of humor and ways of discipline, the classroom climate, and students’ learning motivation to realize the influence between them. (2) Explore the differences of the above-mentioned perceptions in different genders of advisors and different graders. (3) Probe the relations among students’ perceptions of their advisors’ sense of humor and ways of discipline, classroom climate, and learning motivations. (4) Acquire prognosis for classroom climate and students’ learning motivation with varying students’ perceptions. This research adopts questionnaire investigation and uses four scales as research tools, which are “Perception of Advisors’ Sense of Humor Scale”, “Perception of Advisors’ Discipline Scale”, “Classroom Climate for Junior High Students Scale”, and “Learning Motivation of Junior High Students Scale.” The subjects involve 956 students from 7th to 9th grade of 13 junior high schools in Taipei City, Taipei County and Keelung City. Data obtained in the study were analyzed by quantitative analysis. The major findings of the study are as below: (1)In terms of students’ gender: In ways of teachers’ discipline, male students perceived more “neglect” and “strict” ways. (2) In terms of advisors’ gender: The female advisors have more sense of humor in their discipline and the classroom climate is better; however, the male advisors adopted “neglect” way more. (3)In terms of graders, the 7th graders perceive advisors’ sense of humor, open classroom climate, and “liberal” and “strict” ways of discipline more than other graders. Besides, they have higher learning motivations. (4)Students whose advisors adopt the “liberal” way of discipline have better perception for the advisors’ sense of humor, classroom climate. They have better learning motivations and higher values as well. (5)Except the “neglect” way, students’ perception of advisors’ sense of humor and ways of discipline, classroom climate, and students’ learning motivation have positive correlation in all ways. (6) The perception of advisors’ sense of humor and ways of discipline can efficiently predict the classroom climate and students’ learning motivation.
