Perceived social relationships and science learning outcomes for Taiwanese eighth graders: Structural equation modeling with a complex sampling consideration

Based on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2007 study and a follow-up national survey, data for 3,901 Taiwanese grade 8 students were analyzed using structural equation modeling to confirm a social-relation-based affection-driven model (SRAM). SRAM hypothesized relationships among students' perceived social relationships in science class and affective and cognitive learning outcomes to be examined. Furthermore, the path coefficients of SRAM for high- and low-achieving subgroups were compared. Given the 2-stage stratified clustering design for sampling, jackknife replications were conducted to estimate the sampling errors for all coefficients in SRAM. Results suggested that both perceived teacher–student relationships (PTSR) and perceived peer relationships (PPR) exert significant positive effects on students' self-confidence in learning science (SCS) and on their positive attitude toward science (PATS). These affective learning outcomes (SCS and PATS) were found to play a significant role in mediating the perceived social relationships (PTSR and PPR) and science achievement. Further results regarding the differences in SRAM model fit between high- and low-achieving students are discussed, as are the educational and methodological implications of this study.

兩岸師質培育模式比較研究

　　這些年來，中國大陸之高等教育，包括師範大學或師範學院等，也面臨大環境的改變，其中轉向非師培的科系，培育的人數佔總學生的人數也在減少中，因此雖然名稱未改，但也正在走向綜合大學化中。基此，最近大陸師培大學中，也正在興起一般大學師培模式之研究熱潮，加上兩三年前，大陸又擇定師範大學試辦免費師範生制度，進而，由於大學都在擴展招生之中，師範大學或學院之原有特質也在降低中，因此如何確保師培生之質量，目前也是大陸教師教育學界熱門的話題。 　　相對於大陸，台灣的師培模式，尤其在師範/教育大學方面，面對少子女化的衝擊，卻也顯得響應遲鈍，顯然無法做快速的改革，已影響時代的變遷。因此研究兩岸師範/教育大學應有的師培模式，以及應如何改革，已經成為非常重要的議題。
