建立学习档案对语言学课程进行形成性评价的实验研究

An Empirical Study of Formative Assessment in Linguistics by Portfolio

教育界已经开始呼吁利用学习档案对学习和教学进行形成性评价,培养学生自主学习能力和反思能力。在这一背景下,本研究选定安徽科技学院英语专业某班学生为受试者,研究在他们学习语言学的过程中,学习档案对其产生的影响。结果表明:学生的自主学习和反思学习意识大大增强;学习档案有力地督促了学生坚持规划和实施学习。多数学生对学习档案持认可态度。发现的问题有:尽管学生自主学习和反思学习的意识增强了,但还未来得及彻底转化为有效行动。有些学生未能充分理解这一形成性评价工具的目的和作用,影响了学习档案的效果。

Portfolio has been advocated effective in formative assessment to evaluate learning and teaching and cultivate students＇ awareness of autonomous and reflective learning. Based on this background, the study chose one class of English majors in Anhui Science and Technology University to investigate the influence portfolio exerts on their study of linguistics. The result shows that the students＇ awareness of autonomous and reflective learning was strengthened greatly. Meanwhile, portfolio contributed a lot to their persistence in planning and car- rying out their study. Most of the students considered it to be an effective assessment. Some problems were also found. Firstly, although the students＇ awareness of autonomous and reflective learning was cultivated, the experimental period was not long enough for the awareness to become real action completely. A few students didn＇ t understand the purposes and functions of the assessment, which impaired the effect of portfolio.
