This study examined the schooling experiences, academic self-concepts, educational aspirations, and occupational aspirations of senior high school students from low-income families, as well as the relationships among these variables. Questionnaire surveys were used to collect data. 423 senior high school students from low-income families in one county of southern Taiwan responded to questionnaires. Statistic methods employed in the study included descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, t-test, and regressive analysis. It was found that the respondents had moderately positive levels of schooling experiences and academic self-concepts. 73% of them aspired to get higher education. 34.8% of them aspired to enter the occupations of the highest socioeconomic status while 34.3% of them aspired to enter the occupations of the second lowest socioeconomic status. Additionally, the respondents studying in different areas had significantly different levels of schooling experiences, academic self-concepts, educational aspirations, and occupational aspirations. The students from different ethnic groups also had significantly different levels of schooling experiences and academic self-concepts. The findings also indicated schooling experiences directly influenced educational aspirations and academic self-concept, which in turn, had a direct affect on educational aspirations. Educational aspirations, in turn, influenced occupational aspirations directly. |
