基于大学英语项目学习模式的学生学习成就满意度调查——一项社会建构主义视角下的项目学习研究

On Students' Satisfaction at Learning Achievement in the Project-based College English Learning Model——A Study of PBL from the Perspective of Social Constructivism

尽管很多学者和专家相信项目学习具有其他传统教学模式没有的诸多优势,能改善学生的学习动机和提升他们的学习成就,但基于项目的二语和外语教育方面的研究严重匮乏,而基于社会建构主义视角的项目学习研究,更加有限。以社会建构主义为理论支撑,利用定性和定量相结合的研究方法,对大学英语项目学习模式下学生对于学习成就的满意度进行了解析。基于调查问卷和学生自我总结的研究结果表明,作为一种行之有效的新型教学法,大学英语项目学习模式提升了学习者对于语言学习活动的喜欢程度,满足了他们的学习需求和愿望,有助于他们同步获取多元化的学习成就,这包括语言技能、学科知识与21世纪技能等。

Although many a scholar and expert hold that project-based learning is superior to the more traditional teaching and learning models,which can improve students' learning motivation and enhance their learning achievement significantly,there is a severe shortage of research on project-based L2 and FL education.Still limited research has presented PBL in the perspective of social constructivism.This study seeks to take social constructivism as the theoretical support and combines both qualitative and quantitative research methods,so as to pin down students' satisfaction at learning achievement in the project-based college English learning model.As the results of the questionnaire and the students' self-reports indicate,this effective teaching and learning model tends to enhance students' learning interest,satisfy their learning needs and desires,and help them acquire multiple learning achievements simultaneously,including language skills,subject contents and twenty-first century skills.
