| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 教育研究所 === 95 === Teaching is the main achievement aspiration of Taitung Normal College students for years, academic achievement is thus, linked closely with assignment after graduation. Although reformed to National Taitung University in 2003, academic achievement still might effect student’s achievement aspiration. Students with higher academic achievement are more likely to have higher educational and occupational aspirations. It is worthy to examine it. This study analyzes the survey data “National Taitung University’s Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow in 2005”. Utilizing path analysis, the researcher explores three kinds of effects: firstly, student’s background on academic achievement; secondly, student’s background and academic achievement on achievement aspiration; furthermore, student’s background through academic achievement on achievement aspiration. The findings of this study are as follows,
In terms of the occupational aspiration, the percentage of students who want to transfer their career climbs up from 28.5% in 2001 to 35.2% in 2005; however, the percentage of students to be elementary school teachers drops off from 75.4% to 61.0% respectively. By means of path analysis, the research indicates that the academic achievement and the aspiration being elementary school teachers of male are lower than those of female. However, the aspirations being doctoral degree, principles and professors of male are higher than those of female. The higher the grade is, the higher the academic achievement is, and the higher aspirations being elementary school teachers, directors of elementary school and principles have. By contrast, the less aspiration being doctoral degree has. Although aboriginal students’ academic achievement is lower than Hans’, their aspirations being elementary school teachers, directors of elementary school and principles are higher than Hans’. As for math and physics departments, their academic achievement and aspiration being elementary school teachers are lower than education department; however, their aspiration being master or doctoral degree is higher than education department. For physical education department, their academic achievement is lower than education department, but their aspiration being elementary school teachers is higher than education department and their aspiration to transfer non-teaching career is lower than education department. Finally, the aspiration being elementary school teachers of male is lower than that of female, because male academic achievement is lower than female. Moreover, the higher the grade is, the higher the aspirations being elementary school teachers and principles have, because the higher the grade is, the higher the academic achievement is.
