地方性大学大学生外语学习动机跟踪调查

An Investigation into EFL Motivation of Provincial College Students

本文综述了自我决定理论对学习的内在/外在动机特点及其分类的描述,分析了该理论独有的特色。参照这一理论,本人修改并补充了2004年的调查问卷,对2004年的受试者再次跟踪调查,并将调查结果与2004年的调查结果作对比分析,结果如下:1)确立了本校非英语专业大学生外语学习动机的基本结构;2)提取了适合本校大学生的教学思想和教学方法,并以此解决了2004年问卷调查中发现的三个“不协调”的矛盾;3)找出了下次研究的目标:如何使我校大学生掌握认知和元认知知识,学会自觉运用认知和元认知策略是亟待解决的问题。

This paper summarizes 6 types of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on self-determination theory, analyzes the characteristics of the theory. According to this theory, the author revised questionnaire in 2004, and investigated the students investigated in 2004 again, then analyzed the results in 2005 compared with that in 2004.
