A questionnaire survey was conducted with the convenience sampling technique, targeting junior and senior high school students in Taipei city, New Taipei city, Yilan County, Taichung City, and Kaohsiung City. A total of 666 valid samples were obtained. The research instruments consisted of basic demographic information and the learning needs scale on family life education of adolescents. The connotation of the learning needs scale constituted of 9 dimensions: “Families and Individuals in Societal Contexts,” “Internal Dynamics of Families,” “Human Growth & Development Across the Life Span,” “Human Sexuality,” “Interpersonal Relationships,” “Family Resource Management,” “Parent Education & Guidance,” “Family Law and Public Policy,” and “Ethics and Morality.” The resultant data was analyzed with the SPSS 19.0 statistical software. The statistical methods included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, the Pearson product-moment correlation, and one-way ANOVA. The findings are summarized as follows:
1. Adolescents do have learning needs on family life education. The learning needs of senior high school students are stronger than those of junior high school students.
2. The importance of learning is higher than the willingness to learn, but they are positively correlated.
3. Junior high school students would like to learn more in the dimension of “Interpersonal Relationships.” They are highly interested in exploring “Initiating, maintaining, and ending friendships” issue. They are most unwilling to learn issues about “Influence of religion and spirituality on families” and “Family history, tradition, celebrations and rules.”
4. Senior high school students would like to learn more in the dimensions of “Interpersonal Relationships,” “Family Resource Management,” “Human Growth & Development Across the Life Span,” “Human Sexuality,” and “Internal Dynamics of Families.” They are highly interested in exploring “Managing and expressing feelings in families,” “Coping with internal change and stress in the family,” “Interpersonal communication,”“Initiating, maintaining, and ending friendships,” and “Building self-esteem and self-confidence in self and others” issues. The issue they are least interested is “Influence of religion and spirituality on families.”
Based on the aforementioned findings, this study provides pertinent suggestions for school education and future research.
