析建构主义学习理论与英语情境教学

近年来,建构主义学习理论越来越受到教育界推崇。建构主义强调学习是一个积极主动的建构过程,学习者主动地根据先前的认知结构,借助于他人和环境的帮助,通过独特的信息加工过程,注意和有选择地知觉外在信息,建构当前事物的意义的过程。情境是影响学习过程的四大因素之一,外语教师在课堂上应积极创建建构主义学习环境,采用情境教学,让学生在一定的情境中通过自己原有的语言知识和社会知识主动建构对新内容的理解。

Constructive learning theory is highly evaluated currently. Constructivism believes that learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge. The learner selects and transforms information, constructs hypothese, and makes decisions. According to constructivism, learning environment is one of the four key sets of factors that influence the learning process. The teacher should try to set up the constructivism environment in which the students are encourage to engage in an activity dialogue with others-students and the teacher and involved in real world situations, which is the situated-teaching.
