澳門特區政府對特殊教育需要孩子的家庭支援政策──基於家庭背景對家長教育模式影響的實證分析

Providing family support to parents of children with special educational needs in Macao and improving the parenting model of the parents concerned is an important manifestation of the SAR government’s support for disadvantaged groups. However, some potential factors may affect the SAR government’s support in relevant aspects. This study aims to understand the impact of family background factors on parenting patterns of children with special educational needs. The study used a questionnaire survey to collect 950 samples of parents of children with special education needs in Macao, and conducted statistics through “independent samples t-test” and “one-way anova”. The results showed that the parents’ birthplace, parents’ age, the relationship between parent and children, parents’ education level, the age gap between parent and spouse, the relationship between parent and spouse, family monthly income, family economic feelings, and the number of children in the family are factors that affect parenting patterns. Finally, recommendations are given based on the results to serve as a reference for the Macao SAR government in formulating relevant family support policies.
