本研究以台東師範學院於90年12月進行之「台東師院學生的昨日、今日與明日問卷調查(二)」資料做分析。探討影響學生入學管道之因素，並分析經由不同管道入學的學生，在入學後之學習表現是否會因入學管道不同而有所差異，並利用統計方式控制學生之背景變項、文化資本，來探討影響學生學習表現之因果機制，以釐清多元入學方案是否真能提供學生適性的發展，使其有較佳的學習表現。
研究結果顯示：父親教育程度越高，越有助於學生透過推甄入學；學生之精緻文化有助於學生之甄試，而負面文化則不利於甄試；女性擁有的精緻文化較高、負面文化較低，而有助於甄試入學；推甄生之學業成績優於聯考入學者，但歸究影響學生學習成績的因素後，發現文化資本才是造成不同入學管道者成績不同之因素，推甄生入學後的成績高，是由於文化資本較高所致。

This study analyzes data collected from the “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow of NTTTC Students” survey, which was conducted in December 2001.The purposes of this study are as follows: 1. To examine the factors that influence a student’s decision regarding college entrance paths and 2. to compare the academic performance of students who employed different college entry methods.In order to establish a causal relationship between cultural capital, college entrance paths and academic performance, the researcher used statistical methods to control background variables and cultural capital.Additionally, the researcher tried to determine whether multiple college entrance projects were effective in allowing students to develop their potential.
The findings of this study are as follows: The higher the level of the student’s father’s education, the easier it is for the student to enter the university by recommendation and screening (hereby R&S). Also, the student’s cultural experiences have a positive effect on his or her performance in R&S; however, negative cultural experiences have a negative effect. In general, female students have more positive cultural experiences and fewer negative experiences than male students, thus increasing the chances of a female student’s successful entry.In terms of academic achievement, students who entered the college by R&S outperformed their peers who entered through college entrance examinations. The results also showed that cultural capital is the key factor that impacts academic achievement between the two groups.Finally, students who entered the university by R&S tended to have higher cultural capital and subsequently, higher academic achievement.
