英语学习者幸福感模型建构——基于中国学生英语学习经历的质性研究

Construction of a Well-being Model for English Learners:A Qualitative Investigation Based on the English Learning Experiences of Chinese Students

本研究以复杂动态系统理论为指导,利用MAXQDA 12软件对40名中国英语学习者的英语学习经历叙事材料做扎根理论的三级编码,并结合访谈数据进行理论饱和度检验,挖掘其在外语学习过程中的幸福感要素,尝试探索根植于中国情境的英语学习者幸福感理论模型。研究初步构建的模型包括心理维度与社会文化维度,前者由情感子系统与认知子系统构成,后者由社会子系统与文化子系统构成,体现了外语学习者幸福感的动态性、非线性和自组织性。该模型是对现有幸福感理论模型的丰富与系统性整合,不仅可以为外语学习者幸福感的实证量化研究提供基本的理论框架,对教育决策者和外语教师的教学目标设定而言也具有借鉴意义。

Guided by the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory,this study employs MAXQDA 12 software to conduct three-level coding of qualitative data from 40 Chinese English learners,extracting elements of well-being in their foreign language learning narratives and incorporating interview data for assessing theoretical saturation.A well-being model for English learners grounded in the Chinese context is preliminarily constructed.This model comprises psychological and sociocultural dimensions,with the former consisting of emotional and cognitive subsystems,and the latter involving social and cultural subsystems.It reflects the dynamic,non-linear,and self-organizing nature of well-being among foreign language learners.This model enriches and systematically integrates existing well-being models and provides a fundamental theoretical framework for empirical research on the quantification of well-being among foreign language learners.It also holds significance for educational policymakers and foreign language teachers in setting teaching objectives.
