Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國大陸研究所碩士在職專班 === 101 === As Taiwanese higher education gradually moves toward internationalization, the government in 2010 passing the Terrestrial Three Amendment Bills accepts the Certificates from Mainland schools. Thus, Mainland students have attended Taiwanese colleges and universities since 2011. The purpose of the study is to investigate the Mainland students’ overall enrollment rates in Taiwanese colleges and universities as related to study motives and the extent of Terrestrial Students Coming to Taiwan policy, especially after passing the laws that allow Mainland students attending Taiwanese colleges and universities. To be specific, the study focuses on using study motive as an independent variable, and examining the relationship between the extent of Terrestrial Students Coming to Taiwan Policy and Mainland students’ overall enrollment rates in Taiwanese colleges and universities. The research design adopts a quantitative research method. The data collection method includes a survey on study motives of the 250 Mainland students currently studying at the colleges and universities in the northern part of Taiwan. The survey aims to seek the responses from the subjects based on a likert-type scale. The data analysis methods include generating descriptive statistics of the survey data by using the softwares SPSS and Amos 18. T-test and ANOVA are also used to further examine the relationships of variables in order to confirm or disconfirm the hypotheses of the study. The findings indicate that there exist partial differences among Mainland students’ different study motives, the extent of Terrestrial Students Coming to Taiwan Policy, and overall enrollment rates. Moreover, there are significant correlational relationships among Mainland students’ different study motives, the extent of Terrestrial Students Coming to Taiwan Policy, and overall enrollment rates.
