高中學生價值觀念及其與升學選科意願的關係

人為萬物之靈，也是理性的動物，能夠創造價值，鑑賞價值，進而追求價值。因此，價值觀念乃為人類特有的產物，也是決定人類行為的主要變數。細察一般人在各種生活環境中所表現的行為，我們不難發現他們的行為似乎都循著某一目標或某一方式來行動或取捨。這種自覺的或不自覺的價值選擇，就是一種價值行為的表現，事實上人類行為中除部份機械性的、習慣性的行為外，幾乎所有行為的發生，均經由個人價值觀念的判斷而作有意向的行動。本研究擬達成下列三項目的：（一）瞭解高中學生價值觀念之實際情形。（二）探討高中學生價值觀念與升學選科意願的關係。（三）綜合研究結果，提供高中教育及升學輔導之參政。

Based on Spranger’s value theory， this study attempts：\r（1）To find out the divergent value system of high school student by analyzing their family background， area， and sex difference.（2） To explore the relationship between students’ value systems and their selection on college academic field.（3） To generalize some recommendations from the study for high school teachers as teaching guidance.Subjects are 535 high school students selected from urban and rural high schools， including 321 boy students and 214 girls students.The instruments used in this study are：（1）The Social Interest Survey Questionnaire， edited and revised by Dr. Huang Chien─how.（2） High School Students’ College Academic Field Selection Questionnaire， devised by the researcher.The major findings are as follows：（1）high school student’s value systems tend to be more pragmatical than theoretical in economical， political and social value.（2）There are no distinctive correlations between the students’ value systems and their socioeconomic─status.（3）Area difference does distinguish the urban students’ value systems in the political value， from the rural ones in economical and social value.（4）Sex difference also distinctively related to the value systems of boy and girl students.（5）The conclusion reveals that there is high correlation between high school students’ value systems and their selection on college academic field.In accordance with the findings above， the following recommendations are proposed.（1）The school authority is responsible to its students’ cultivation of value system.（2）School authority should build up an atmosphere to promote the mutual understanding， respect and communication between students and teachers， in value systems.（3）The school authority should strengthen the examination of students’ value system， meanwhile， provide much more guidance for students on their college academic field selection.
