| Popis: | 106 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between science academics resilience and science academic engagement of eighth-grade junior high school students in central Taiwan. Survey questionnaire has been utilized as the research method and participants were 603 students in Taichung, Changhua and Nantou. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis were applied to analyze the data.

Fifth, there were partially significant differences of science academics resilience in gender and different family structures. Boys had higher efficacy resilience than girls and living with both parents had higher interpersonal resilience than living with single-parent. Sixth, there was significant correlation between science academic engagement and science academics resilience of eighth-grade junior high school students. Final, students’ science academic engagement can significantly predict academics resilience, and the cognitive engagement was the strongest predictor. Based on the research results, the suggestions were made to teachers, parents, and future researchers. Keywords: science academic engagement, science academics resilience, eighth-grade junior high school students |
