Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 教育心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 95 === The purposes of this study were to explore the relationship between the volition control strategies and the acdemic achievement , and to sum up the meanings of the Children’s Volition Control Strategies Inventory (CVCSI). The volition control strategies were divided into four domains:the Congnitive Control Strategy(CCS)、the Emotion Control Strategy(EmCS)、the Motivation Control Strategy(MCS),and the Environmental Control Strategies(EnCS).
The samples were selected from grade 4 to grade 6 students from elementary schools in Taipei county and Taipei city. Beside conducting a self-made standardized Inventory, the researcher gathered relevant data by a questionnaire and a half-structured interview . Data obtained in this study were analyzed by ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation.
The main findings were as follows:
1. With regard to the difference among grade 4,5 and 6 students:
Significant differences in CVCSI were found among different grade students. Grade 4 students got higher scores in all the four strategies than Grade 6 students . Grade 5 students got higher scores than Grade 6 students in the CCS , MCS ,and EnCS.
2. With regard to the difference between boys and girls:
In all of the four domains of the CVCSI, girls got higher scores than boys significantly.
3. With regard to the parent concern about children’s learning:
Significant differences in CVCSI were found among highly concerned group , moderately concerned group , and little concerned group. Highly concerned group got higher CVCSI scores than moderately concerned group, moderately concerned group got higher CVCSI scores than little concerned group, and highly concerned group got higher CVCSI scores than little concerned group .
4. The students’ scores in CVCSI were positively correlated with their scores in the academic achievement ,which were defined by the subject scores they got in Chinese and Math. The scores in CVCSI could interpret the total variation of the academic achievement from the range of 6% to 10%.
In the end of the paper, the researcher gave some relevant suggestions to both teaching and advanced research.
