元认知监控下学习策略的选择对英语自主学习的启示

Strategy Selection under Metacognitive Monitoring and the Practical Implications for Self- Regulated Learning of College English

Karpicke等通过一系列实验证明,重复提取比其它学习策略更能促进学习和记忆保持。然而,自主学习中的受试者大多不会选择重复提取,而是依据自己的元认知学习判断做出不利于增强学习效果的学习策略。学习者对于重复提取练习对学习的促进作用没有正确的认知。因此,教师通过各种途径培养学习者在自主学习中的提取意识和习惯,是实现自主学习效果最优化的必然选择。

Through a series of experiments, Karpicke demonstrated that retrieval practice could promote learning and long- term retention, however, most of the subjects in self- regulated learning did not choose to practice it. Instead, they choose the learning strategy that is bad for improving their study on the basis of their JOLs. Students do not have a correct metocognition of the great importance of retrieval prac- tice. Thus, it is necessary for teachers to promote the awareness of practicing retrieval in self - regulated study in order to achieve the optimal study performance.
