英语专业学生自主学习能力的调查研究——基于基础英语课堂教学的探索

A Survey on English Majors' Autonomy:Based on Integrated English Class

近年来国内外有关"自主学习"的研究日益成为关注的焦点,对学习者自主学习能力培养的研究也是研究的热点。为了培养出真正具有自主学习能力的学生,笔者设计了"一个中心,两个基本点"的教学方案,通过问卷调查和访谈对学习者自主学习动机、元认知策略以及自主学习行为进行了两学期的实践研究。研究发现:(1)学习者学习外语的工具性动机长期存在且不易改变,但经培养后融入性动机有所提高;(2)学习者的学习观念、策略及自我监控能力有了改善;(3)学习者能积极利用学习资源,但自我激励机制的形成还不成熟。最后笔者指出了后续研究的着眼点并提出几点建议。
