基于社会建构主义理论的大学英语课堂结构研究

The Study of Classroom Structure in College English Teaching based on the Theory of Social Constructivism

社会建构主义是建立在建构主义、人本主义和社会互动理论基础上的一个更全面、更客观的教育心理学理论。在大学英语课堂教学中,以社会建构主义理论为指导,构建合乎教学实际的课堂结构,对于激发学生的学习兴趣,培养他们独立学习的能力,具有重要意义。

Being an important educational psychological perspective, social eonstrnetivism is more comprehensive and objective than constructivism, humanism and social interactionism. The focus of previous studies on college English teaching which were based on social constructivism were teachers, learners, motivations and so on, whereas it is rare to mention the importance of classroom struc- ture. In the book Psychology for Language Teachers, classroom structure is classified into the category of learning contexts. Our study aims to analyze the importance of classroom structure in college English teaching and the pedagogieal implications it brings based on the theory of social construetivism.
