大学英语学习者元认知能力发展差异研究

On the Development Difference of College Students' Metacognitive Ability

学习者的元认知能力直接影响着他们的自主学习能力。本文对实验班进行一年半的元认知培训,对比实验班与参照班在不同阶段的元认知水平调查结果,探索大学英语学习者元认知能力发展的一般规律:两个班学习者的元认知水平都在朝着积极方向发展;实验班的元认知水平提高幅度比参照班大;实验班的元认知水平在培训前阶段提高的幅度远高于培训后阶段。可见,元认知培训确有必要,但须注意时效性,周期无需持续太长。

College students＇ metacognitive ability has significant influence on their autonomous learning. This paper probes the develo- ping pattern of college students＇ metacognitive ability by contrasting the findings of survey between the experimental class, which has re- ceived metacognitive training for one and a half years, and the natural class. The results show that： the metacognitive ability of both class have been developing, whereas the experimental class has progressed faster than the natural class, and progressing rate is much higher in the former training period than that in the latter. Thus, the necessity of metacognitive training is quite obvious, but the time - effectiveness of the training should be taken into consideration.
