臺東地區原住民家長對幼兒園數學學習情境之態度調查

The Study of the Indigenous Parents’ Attitude toward the Mathematical Learning Contexts in the Taitung Preschools

本文為調查原住民家長對幼兒園數學學習情境之態度，對象由隨機抽樣於臺東地區之家長，並以問卷來了解。資料分析以單因子變異數為主，經雪費進行事後比較。本文發現：（一）在教學環境及理念中，以「幼兒在校數學學習的興趣比能力來的重要」、「幼兒就讀園所須提供完備的幼兒數學教育」及「幼兒園教學師資水準，期望教師提供高品質的數學教學」最為重要；（二）在數學教材內容中，以「懂得時間的概念」、「圖形認識（正方形、三角形、圓形）」、「數字認識、比大小、基礎運算（加減）」及「基本方位與空間概念」為其主要；（三）原住民家長對幼兒園數學學習情境的態度受「家中幼兒年齡」、「家中幼兒就讀園所性質」及「家中幼兒手足排序」之影響。

This study was mainly aimed at the investigation of the indigenous parents’ attitude toward the mathematical learning contexts in the Taitung preschools. Questionnaire survey was conducted to understand parents’ attitude toward teaching environments, teaching concepts, and the difference between teaching materials. Parents with children aged from 3 to 6 years old and studying in the preschools were selected by random sampling, and the 500 questionnaires were sent with 92.6% of response rate. Besides, the study was analyzed by one-way ANOVA to get realized if the different backgrounds of the Taitung indigenous parents would affect their attitude toward the mathematical learning contexts and its effective factors. Furthermore, differences between analyzing groups were then compared based on Scheffe’ when two groups of independence variables got significant. This study found that: (i) in the part of parents’ attitude toward the mathematical teaching environment and teaching concepts, most of them thought that ‘children’s preference on the mathematical learning was more important than their abilities,’ ‘preschools should provide children with well-prepared mathematical education,’ and ‘teachers’ mathematical teaching of quality was expected by parents;’(ii) in the part of teaching materials, they thought things below were important, including ‘understanding the concept of clock and time,’ ‘recognition of shapes such as square, triangle, and circle,’ ‘basic mathematical concept such as recognition of figures, comparison of numbers, and calculating,’ and ‘basic spatial concepts;’(iii) in the part of parents’ attitude from different background, their attitude would be influenced by ‘age of the child,’ ‘characteristics of the preschools the child studying in,’ ‘the siblings ranking of the child.
