英文摘要 |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of area, parental input (PI), and teachers' self-efficacy (TSE) according to school characteristics, as well as students' perceived reading advantage (PRA) as it relates to reading achievement. A two-level database of 147 schools (macro-level) and 4,217 matched fourth graders (micro-level) was selected from the Taiwan PIRLS 2011 database. We adopted hierarchical linear modeling to analyze the data in this study. The results indicated that at the micro-level, perceived reading advantage had a positive and significant influence on students' reading achievement. At the macro-level, parental input and teachers' self-efficacy had significant effects on student reading achievement. In addition, area, parental input and teachers' self-efficacy exhibited no moderator effects in this study. According to the research findings, the researchers illustrated issues pertaining to suggestions for future research. |
