A Comparative Study of Meta-cognitive Strategy of Non-English Major Students——A Case Study

元认知策略是高一级的管理技巧,是成功地计划、监控和评估学习活动的必要条件,对提高学习效果起着最为核心的作用。本文对医学类、艺术类和综合类共810名学生进行了元认知策略对比研究。结果表明:1)在元认知策略的使用总频率上,医学类和艺术类学生不呈显著性差异;而综合类学生比医学类、艺术类学生运用的频率都明显偏高;2)在具体的元认知分项策略的使用上,医学类学生比艺术类学生更经常使用"定向注意"和"自我监控"策略。综合类学生、艺术类和医学类学生在"语言意识"等四项策略上呈显著性差异。另外在自我管理策略上,综合类学生运用的频率也明显高于医学类学生。
