《跨文化交际》教与学的认知:一项基于频率分布和因子分析的调查

An Investigation on Teaching and Learning of Intercultural Communication Studies by Frequency Analysis and Factor Analysis

本研究采用定性与定量相结合的方法,通过问卷调查英语专业二年级和四年级学生并收集数据,运用频率分布统计和因子分析对统计结果进行分析,以期考察不同年级学生对《跨文化交际》课程教与学的认知及其对相应课程标准的认同程度。研究结果表明两个年级的学生对《跨文化交际》课程标准呈现出较高的认同度,但他们的认识角度有所不同,认同的程度也有差异,二年级对课程的理解方式与课程标准更趋一致。

The thesis, an effort to explore how students at different levels understand the course Intercultural Communication Studies and whether they agree on its teaching guidelines, combines qualitative research with quantitative research to conduct a survey on English Majors in Grade 2 and Grade 4 and to carry out frequency analyses and factor analyses on the data collected. The results illustrate that the majority of the students in both grades express their approval of the teaching guidelines, but students in different grades seem to understand them from different perspectives and their approval varies in proportions, that is, students in Grade 2 seem to understand the course in the similar way as the teaching guidelines have prescribed while those in Grade 4 seem to detract a little from the guidelines. It is concluded that the teaching guidelines, to a large extent, meet the students＇ need, especially when the course is offered in Grade two, and can be used to guide the teaching and learning of the course.
