Summary: | 碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 教育研究所 === 106 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between
science academics resilience and science academic engagement of eighth-grade
junior high school students in central Taiwan. Survey questionnaire has been
utilized as the research method and participants were 603 students in Taichung,
Changhua and Nantou. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test,
one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression
analysis were applied to analyze the data. The following research results were
obtained: first, the sciences academic engagement of eighth-grade junior high
school students was above average; cognitive engagement was at middle level;
affective engagement and behavior engagement was above average. Sciences
academics resilience was below average. Second, there was partially significant
difference of cognitive engagement in different family structures. Living with
both parents had higher cognitive engagement than living with single-parent.
Third, there was partially significant difference of emotional engagement in
gender and different family structures. Boys had higher interest than girls while
girls had higher achievement orientation and belongs than boys. Living with
both parents had higher emotional engagement than living with single-parent.
Fourth, there were partially significant differences of behavioral engagement in
different family structures. Living with both parents had higher behavioral
engagement than living with single-parent. Fifth, there were partially
significant differences of science academics resilience in gender and different
family structures. Boys had higher efficacy resilience than girls and living with
both parents had higher interpersonal resilience than living with single-parent.
Sixth, there was significant correlation between science academic engagement
and science academics resilience of eighth-grade junior high school students.
Final, students’ science academic engagement can significantly predict
academics resilience, and the cognitive engagement was the strongest predictor.
Based on the research results, the suggestions were made to teachers, parents,
and future researchers.
