[[abstract]] 本研究旨在探討不同地區新移民子女之「家庭教育資源」與「家長參與」對新移民子女國小學童學業成績的影響關係。以高雄市鹽埕區與旗津區二所國小為比較研究母群，抽取這二所學校170位新移民子女為研究樣本，進行問卷調查。問卷經回收後，以描述性統計、雙因子變異數分析及皮爾森積差相關等統計方法進行資料分析、討論。茲將比較後所得之研究結果作成如下結論：一、發展較佳區新移民子女在「家長參與」、「家庭教育資源」與「學業成績」的現況表現皆優於發展較差區新移民子女在這三方面的現況表現。二、背景變項中：是否與父母同住、不同的外籍父母國籍、外籍父母國語程度、父親教育程度、父母的工作情形和家庭月收入，對不同地區之新移民子女國小學童在「家長參與」學習上皆有顯著差異。三、背景變項中：是否與父母同住、不同的家中子女數、外籍父母國籍、父親教育程度和家庭月收入，對不同地區之新移民子女國小學童在「家庭教育資源」上皆有顯著差異。四、背景變項中：是否與父母同住、不同的家中子女數、母親教育程度和家庭月收入，對不同地區之新移民子女國小學童在「學業成績」上皆有顯著差異。五、發展較佳區新移民子女國小學童只有「家庭教育資源」和「學業成績」有顯著正相關；而發展較差區新移民子女國小學童之「家長參與」、「家庭教育資源」皆和「學業成績」有顯著正相關。六、不同地區新移民子女國小學童在「家長參與與學業成績」和「家庭教育資源與學業成績」之間的相關皆無顯著差異。[[abstract]] This study was designed to investigate the affect relations of “family educational resources” and “parental involvement” to new immigrant children of primary school’s academic achievement in different metropolitan districts.
