摘要
高校校内开展的大学英语改革以改变考试时间和考试风险的考试政策是否会影响学习者的学习态度和行为?本文以反拨效应理论为依据,连续两年在近500名学生中开展问卷调查,以近5000名学生的第一次大学英语四级考试成绩为研究数据,对比考试政策实施前后学生的学习态度和行为及考试成绩,通过定性定量研究,发现考试政策对学习者产生积极的反拨效应,强化学习动机,激励积极的学习行为。
This article reports a study on the washback of a school-wide testing policy to learners concerning learning attitude and performance when the testing time and stake of an English test are changed. The study carries out ques- tionnaire surveys in two successive years to explore the influence of the policy on the attitude and performance of two groups of students. In addition, the CET4 test results of two larger groups of learners, one before and the other after the policy being implemented, are compared in terms of the passing rate and the excellence rate to examine the influ- ence of the policy on the learning outcome. It finds that the testing policy triggers positive washback on learners by re- inforcing their motivation and stimulating positive learning performance.
