Purpose: This study first analyzed the traits and plights of economically and culturally disadvantaged bright underachievers. Then, task-oriented plans were established according to their needs to help them to reach their full potential and guide them to explore possibilities. This research is expected to arouse the attention of such students in academia. Methods: The research participants were four economically and culturally disadvantaged bright underachievers aged 18-19 years. Four programs were designed in this study. Each program was conducted for 4 weeks in winter and summer vacations for 2 years. In total, 13 aboriginal students in grades 4-6 of the primary school participated in this study. The programs were divided into four themes: Environmental Ecology, Scientific Inquiry, Cultural Awareness, and Overall Construction. Results/Findings: The course of action and practice had the stages of discovering difficulties, finding problems, designing content, concrete practice, and review and reflection. The practice process consisted of the following steps: (1) determining the relationship between self and environment to think about interpersonal meaning and promote interaction; (2) identifying children's feelings and discovering their advantages; (3) encouraging children to reflect on their own experiences and understand differences while examining past self-evaluations; (4) rethinking culture and environment to empathize with each other and examine their own views on culture to perceive conflicts of self-identity; (5) thinking about the dilemma faced and changing viewpoints to understand the importance of joint action. The changes in the practice process were as follows: (1) students demonstrating confidence and motivation to participate and to continue investment; (2) research participants performing tasks step by step; and (3) students becoming aware of their own efforts required to achieve goals. Conclusions/Implications: The researchers discussed challenges and suggested solutions according to the observation, recording, and dialogue in the action process. Although research participants perceived the disadvantages of their family background, they paid little attention to the advantages they had. They could not understand the characteristics of family background and undertake self-evaluation until they were given assistance by experts in implementing practical tasks. Therefore, teachers are recommended to start with companionship and listening, and then as the situation improves, they should guide students to view the environment and events from different perspectives. In addition, their family and social resources should be connected to continue to promote well-being. Moreover, future research should explore the effect of different forms of internal conflict on achievement motivation to determine corresponding counseling strategies. |
