网络自我效能感与网络英语学习环境偏好的实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Relationship between College English Learners' Internet Self-efficacy and Their Preferences toward Internet English Learning Environments

网络自我效能感是学习者对自己使用网络完成某项任务的信心水平和判断,而更好理解学生对网络环境的偏好对信息技术环境中的教学实践非常必要。本研究探索高校大学英语学习者的网络自我效能感与网络学习环境偏好的关系。研究发现,一般网络自我效能感较高的英语学习者明显表现出对英语网络学习环境的偏好,然而具有较高交际网络自我效能感的学生对在网络上进行英语探究性学习似乎展示出相对较低的偏好。

Internet self-efficacy refers to an individual＇s expectations and confidence in using the Internet to perform specified tasks successfully. It is quite necessary for the teaching practice in the environment of information technology to further understand about students＇ preferences toward Internet-based environments. This study was to explore the relationship between college English learners＇ Internet self-efficacy and their preferences toward Internet-based English learning environments. The findings show that students with higher general Internet self-efficacy obviously displayed more preferences toward English Internet learning environments. However,students with higher communicative Internet self-efficacy tend to show relatively less preferences for English inquiry learning on the Internet.
