| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 教師專業發展研究所 === 101 === The purpose of this research is to explore the relevant factors influencing students’ reading achievement. The data of PISA 2009 which Taiwan’s 158 schools and 5,831 students participated in was analyzed with HLM. The results indicated as follows:
For the variable of students’ level, “gender,” “socio-economic and cultural status,” and “reading attitude” were shown positively significant on predicting students’ reading literacy. It was found that the gender made differences on reading literacy. Female students performed better than male students on reading literacy; the higher the students’ socio-economic and cultural statuses are; the more preferable their reading literacy performance becomes; the more positive attitude on reading they hold, the better their reading literacy performance gets.
For the variable of school’s level, school atmosphere was shown significant on reading literacy. The more positive school atmosphere shows, the more desirable their reading literacy performance becomes. However, both variables of “leadership of the principal” and “educational resources” were shown non-significant on reading literacy.
For the level of mediating variable, attitudes on reading was the mediating variable of gender and reading literacy which meant “gender” influenced reading attitudes that indirectly influenced reading performance. Furthermore, attitudes on reading had a mediating effect between “socio-economic and cultural status” and “reading literacy.”
According to the findings, some suggestions and implications for the future research are provided for educators and researchers.
