高等教育機構因應原住民族大專生在校學習適應的因應策略

Corresponding Strategies to Indigenous Students’ Learning Adjustments at Higher Education Institutions

我國原住民族教育在近年政府積極推動相關政策之下已見成效，當原住民族有更多機會進入高等教育機構，表示他們將更有可能以其高等教育學歷在社會中改善經濟弱勢地位。然而，原住民族大學（專）生的休學率一直高於非原住民族大學（專）生，且退學率也逐年升高。本文整理原住民族學生在主流教育體系所面臨的文化差異與挑戰，並瞭解原住民族學生學習型態對其學習成效的影響，且呈現原住民族大學（專）學生在校的學習／生活適應現況。本文並透過文獻探討指出高等教育機構可針對原住民族學生開展的學習支持策略，包括：增進原住民族學生的大學學術預備度、強化原住民族學生在校的歸屬感、發展教職員與原住民族學生間良好的互動關係、機構開設回應原住民族學生需求的課程、提供原住民族學生支持性的服務等。

"Indigenous student’s education is much improved, especially at higher education level, along with the implementation of Taiwanese government’s relevant policies in recent years. When indigenous people have more opportunities to access higher education, it means that they tend to overcome their economic disadvantaged status in the society by their higher education degrees. However, the dropout rate of indigenous students is much higher than Han counterparts at higher education level. This article, therefore, organizes literatures regarding cultural differences and challenges faced by indigenous students in the mainstream education system for further understand the influences of indigenous students’ learning styles on their learning effectiveness to fully represent the reality of indigenous students’ learning/living adjustment at higher education institutions. Furthermore, the article points out the possible supporting strategies for indigenous students’ learning at higher education institutions, including: improving the academic preparation of indigenous students, strengthening the sense of belonging of indigenous students on campus, developing good interaction between faculty and indigenous students, opening courses/programs corresponding to indigenous students’ needs, providing indigenous students supportive services, etc."
