外语学习能动性投入量表的编制与验证

The development and validation of scale of agentic engagement with foreign language learning

学习投入对学习过程和学习结果都具有重要影响。能动性投入是学习投入的子系统,是学习投入研究的新方向。本研究以530名大学生为研究对象,采用文献分析、量表设计和验证等方法,尝试编制外语学习能动性投入量表。探索性因子分析结果表明,外语学习能动性投入包括"自我努力学习"、"帮助老师教学"、"配合老师教学"和"帮助同学学习"4个因子,累计解释方差率71.027%;验证性因子分析发现,各项拟和指数均优于可接受值,量表拟合度较好。此外,信度分析显示,各因子间内部一致性和稳定性良好;效度检验显示,各因子间及各因子与总量表间相关系数较大,量表各题目间同质性和相关性较高。因此,本研究编制的外语学习能动性投入量表信、效度较高,符合测量学指标要求,可以作为研究我国大学生外语学习能动性投入的测量工具。

Academic engagement has a great effect on both learning process and its outcome. Agentic engagement,as one of the subsystems of academic engagement,is a new research focus. Taking 530 college students as subjects and employing such methods as literature review,scale designing and its testing,this study tries developing a scale of agentic engagement with foreign language learning. Exploratory factor analysis shows that agentic engagement with foreign language learning consists of studying hard alone,assisting teachers in teaching,cooperating with teachers in teaching,and helping classmates learning,and all the factors could account for 71. 027 percent of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the fit indexes are better than the acceptable ones. Besides,both reliability and validity analysis show that the scale has a good internal consistency and a good structural validity. Therefore,this scale has good reliability and validity,and can be used for measuring Chinese students＇ agentic engagement with foreign language learning.
