英文摘要 |
Positive teacher-student relationship is an important component in schooling because it is assumed to be affecting students' learning achievement significantly. The purposes of this study were: 1) to integrate literature on teacher-student relationship, learning motivation, and learning achievement, 2) to propose a model which included these three constructs, and 3) to test proposed model using empirical data drawn from PISA 2003. This study verified the goodness of fit between empirical data and theoretical model by using structural equation modeling. Survey respondents were 4,410 secondary school students from Hong Kong. The statistical results showed that the proposed model fitted with the observed data quite well, although the Chi-square test was not so fit as expected, which is usually influenced by sample size. Furthermore, effect analysis of latent variables supported current theories about teacher-student relationship, learning motivation and learning achievement. Discussions of these results and suggestions for further research are offered at the end of this paper. |
