This study conducted literature review to understand Taiwanese senior high school students’ intention of participating in the National High School Skills Competition and the influential factors. Subsequently, an interview survey was conducted on two students who studied Early Childhood Education in a senior high school in northern Taiwan; relevant data were also collected, serving as the basis for the arguments regarding the intention of students studying home economics to participate in the National High School Skills Competition. According to the literature analysis, previous studies on the National High School Skills Competition have mostly focused on industry and business, but have rarely explored the creation of teaching aids in home economics. The interview results showed that although the officially enrolled contestants and contestants selected by drawing lots had different mindsets, both groups considered that it is necessary to possess strong abilities of stress tolerance, teaching aid content writing, and teaching aid creation. They all faced difficulties and frustrations of being unable to attend classes regularly, only a few places of Golden Hand Award being available, spending enormous time and effort but winning nothing, and lack of professionals in the schools they will attend to guide them. Accordingly, this study proposed several recommendations for relevant authorities and schools and can serve as reference for future research. |
