多元智能理论视域下电大英语学习者自我效能感的培养

The Development of Self-efficacy Sense of the English Learners in TV University from the Perspective of Multiple Intelligence Theory

自我效能感对个体的学习策略、学习成绩具有重要影响,对于电大英语学习者而言,传统的英语教学方式不利于其自我效能感的培养。多元智能理论为教师正视学生的个体差异,发掘学生的智力潜能,调动学生的优势智能进行语言学习提供了理论依据。将多元智能理论整合到电大英语教学中,有助于树立多元智能的学生观、教学观和评价观,通过基于多元智能的教学活动、自主学习策略、评价体系和归因训练等提高电大英语学习者的自我效能感。

Studies have shown that self-efficacy has an important impact on individual learning strategies and academic performance.The English learners in TV universities are a group with special characteristics,and traditional methods of English teaching are not conducive to the cultivation of their self-efficacy.The theory of multiple intelligences provides a theoretical basis for teachers to explore students’intellectual potential and to improve their ability of learning language with superior intelligence.This article discusses the integration of multiple intelligence theory into English teaching in TV university,and establishes a multi-intelligent concept of students,teaching,and evaluation.It is hypothesized that the sense of self-efficacy of English learners can be improved,through the multi-intelligence-based teaching activities,autonomous learning strategies,evaluation systems,and attribution training.
