Meeting with the Research Team of Taiwan Youth Project

We are delighted to have Prof. Chin-chun Yi, Dr. Wen-shan Yang, and Prof. Chyi-in Wu from the Institute of Sociology in Academia Sinica, Taiwan to visit CASER on October 14, 2010. During the visit, they gave us a presentation on “Introducing Taiwan Youth Project: 2000-2009”. Taiwan Youth Project (TYP) is a longitudinal study on Taiwan’s youth starting from the spring of 2000, with the first year and third year junior high students (aged 13 and 15 respectively) from Taipei County, Taipei City, and Yi-Lan County as the study population. In total, there were 5,586 student samples (in 162 classes of 40 schools). In addition to a sample of these students, their parents, teachers, and school principals also participated in the project by completing questionnaires and attending in-depth interviews.

In the presentation, apart from giving an introduction of TYP and its development over the past 10 years, Prof. Yi and her colleagues also generously shared with us their many valuable and insightful experiences on a wide range of issues from research design, questionnaire construction, collection of quantitative survey data and qualitative in-depth interview data, to empirical findings, and the like.

台灣中央研究院社會學研究所的伊慶春教授、楊文山博士及吳齊殷教授於2010年10月14日到訪科大為我們介紹“台灣青少年成長歷程研究”(TYP)。TYP是其中一個世界著名的青少年的長期追蹤調查研究。此研究計劃始於2000年,以台北縣、市及宜蘭縣平均十三歲的中一學生和平均十五歲的中三學生兩個世代(Cohorts)作為研究主體。在2000年時,他們訪問了40所中學162班的5,586位學生。除了學生以外,其家長、老師、及校長均是這個長期追蹤調查的研究對象。

在這次研討會中,伊教授等不但為我們詳細介紹TYP的內容和目的,還跟我們分享他們在過往十年中推行TYP的珍貴實踐經驗。
