从建构主义角度审视大学英语教学

An Examination on College English Teaching from the Perspective of Constructivism

建构主义认为 ,个体一出生就从自身经验出发构建起对世界的理解。每个人都主观地构建对自己有个人意义的知识。建构主义的教师观认为 ,教师对建构主义的最好实践是使用对话 ,而不是向学生灌输信息 ,教师以解决问题的形式向学生提出概念、任务等 ,问题留待他们自己去探究 ;教师是反思性从业者 ,教师的信念比教师的知识更能够影响其教学行为。从建构主义角度来审视大学英语教学 ,存在的主要问题是 ,教学的各个阶段缺少衔接 ,教学材料陈旧 ,缺少个人现实意义 ,师生缺乏了解 ,教师的自我反思不够充分 ,教师缺乏必要的英语教学法思想。

Constructivism holds that an individual constructs his interpretation of the world based on his own experience since his birth.He personally constructs what he considers important for himself.A constructivist approach to education is best put into practice by presenting issues,concepts and tasks in form of problems to be explored in dialogue rather than information to be ingested and reproduced.Constructivism also holds that a teacher is a reflective practitioner and that his belief has greater influence on teaching behavior than his knowledge does.Closely looking at our English teaching from the perspective of constructivism,we have found that the problems of it are the lack of coherence between high school and college,outdatedness of textbooks,less understanding between teachers and students,inadequacy of teacher's reflection and ignorance of language teaching approaches.
