不同文化背景下中美初中生体育课程期望价值对比

Comparative Study of Expectancy Value in PE Class between American and Chinese Middle School Students in Different Cultures

采用文献资料、问卷调查、数理统计法等,对中美初中生体育课程期望价值的差异进行研究。结果显示:美国初中生的期望信念高于中国初中生,中国初中生在获取价值及效用价值上表现得更为强烈,两国初中生在内部价值上表现一致,体育课程期望价值随年龄或年级的上升逐步下降。提升内部价值成为跨越文化背景影响,提高初中生期望价值的潜在动力。

By using literature review, questionnaire and statistics, the study investigates the differences between American and Chinese middle school students in expectancy value in physical education class. The study states that there is a higher expectancy belief in the American students than in Chinese ones while Chinese students show a stronger value attainment and its utility. There is agreement in the intrinsic value for the students from both countries. In addition, the expectancy value of PE class decreases along with the growth of age or grade. Therefore, the promotion of intrinsic value may be a potential force to improve their expectancy value in middle school students regardless of culture.
