| Popis: | 103 This study is to invesitgate the influence factors of mathematics academic achievement by using the results of TIMSS 2011 mathematics achievement test, student questionnaire and teacher questionnaire. The aspects of this study consisted of family, individual and teacher’s teaching styles. In this study, satistical analysis included Descriptive Statistics, One-Way MNOVA, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This research constructed the model of the influence factors of mathematics academic achievement of Taiwanese 8th grade students. The results of the study found that the model was fitted better. Based on the results of data analysis, the major findings of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The study showed parental involvement with children’s learning, teacher’s teaching styles, and learning motivation belonged to high-intermediate level. 2. Respectively, parent’s educational level, numbers of books at home, home resource, and self-education expectations had significant differences on the observable variables of parental involvement with children’s learning, learning motivation, and mathematics academic achievement. 3. Respectively, parental involvement with children’s learning, teacher’s teaching styles, and learning motivation had significantly positive correlations with mathematics academic achievement. 4. Parental involvement with children’s learning and learning motivation influenced directly, significantly, and positively on mathematics academic achievement. Besides, parental involvement with children’s learning and teacher’s teaching styles could also influence indirectly on mathematics academic achievement by learning motivation. 5. Three factors affected the academic achievement of mathematics, and their impacts in descending order, were learning motivation, parental involvement with children’s learning, teacher teaching styles. Finally, based on conclusions, concrete suggestions were provided as references for parents, school administrative teams, teachers and further researches. |
