中文摘要
随著跨国婚姻的频繁及台湾少子化的社会趋势,新移民子女学童人数乃随之激增,其引发的教育问题不容小觑.虽然相关研究纷纷进行,补救和福利措施也逐步推展,然而对於新移民子女在学校教育上是否处於弱势 哪些部分是弱势 现有的教育该如何协助他们 其竞争力的优劣势何在 等议题仍待进一步探讨.有鉴於此,本研究透过文献分析,问卷调查及统计等方法,一则掌握这些学童在义务教育阶段的学习成就现况,俾为进一步提供实质协助做好准备;再则希望能端正社会视听,回归教育本质,并提供政府未来施政之参考.本研究以自编之「台湾新移民子女国民教育学习成就调查问卷」及「台湾新移民子女国民教育学习成绩调查表」来掌握新移民子女在学校的学习成就和教师对其观点后,发现如下的结果:
(一)在北中南东四区的六县市中,新移民国小学童各领域的学习成就大都在「甲」等,是相当不错的表现,但是各县市和各领域之间仍存在个别差异,例如,「数学」普遍低於「健康和体育」或「综合活动」等领域的表现;国中各领域大都落在「乙」和「丙」等,数学甚至大都在「丁」等;
(二)整体言之,学业成就并无明显进步,但各县市不同领域在逐年进步上有所不同;
(三)「数学」普遍表现最低,居「丙」和「丁」等,而且从国小开始就处於低成就者居多,此状况有每下愈况趋势;
(四)「综合活动」和「健康和体育」的表现相对较佳;「社会」领域的表现更明显的逐年退步;
(五)教师大都认为新移民子女学习成就比我国学童差,此观点比实际表现来得低.
故本研究建议,此方面的研究宜结合人口结构的改变,更深入的重新认识新移民子女学习的个别差异,以寻求有效的补救措施;同时,也应该从教师开始提升其批判性思考能力和多元文化素养,更期盼政策上能在课程规划与教学设计上发挥多元文化共融的优势,进而提升国家竞争力.

Abstract
With the growth of the international marriage, the numbers of immigrant children in Taiwan have been sharply increased. These pupils studied in elementary and junior high schools in Taiwan reach to 46,411 in 2005. Their learning results and cultural identity arouse attention by not only pubic Government but also the private institutes. Are they inferior to native pupils Are they no strong merits The researchers intend to pin down their issues in learning, through questionnarires for academic records and teachers' attitude to their performances.
It is shown that the immigrant chidren do a good job in elementary stage, whereas their achievements are going down with their school-years in secondary schools. Yet, the individual difference between pupils and between areas exists. Among all school subjects, mathematics causes difficulty for them to learn and to make any progress which is much ferior to the natives. In contrast, their academic performance is alright in subjects particularly 'Integrated Activity' and 'Health and Gym'. Unfortunately, teachers take them as inferiority to the natives. In this case, teachers' critical thinking should be developed to reflect upon their ideology and open their mind to assimilate different cultures. Further, the core difficulty for the immigrant children to pursue excellence in schools must be identified and fixed, in terms of curriculm and teaching, so that the substancial methods to bridge their make-up may be approached. It is in this way, not only can the immigrant chidren enjoy their lives in a different culture, but also can they become an amazing human power to promote Taiwan's competition both in culture and economics for gloabalisation.
