不同分组模式下大学英语课堂同伴支架作用的对比研究

A Comparative Investigation into Peer Scaffolding in Different Models of Groups among College English Classrooms

以社会文化理论为框架,以非英语专业的大二两个自然班80名学生作为研究对象,运用定性和定量相结合的研究方法探究应用型本科高校大学英语课堂小组互动中同伴支架的作用影响.研究发现,(1)交叉分组及自由分组模式下,同伴支架作用在“提供观点”“提供情感支持”及“纠正错误表达”三个类别出现频率方面差别较大;(2)实验班和对照班在小组互动中的同伴支架各个方面以及总量的影响没有显著差异.研究发现,针对应用型本科大学英语课堂的小组互动中,两种分组模式对同伴支架的作用发挥没有显著性的影响,交际意愿和英语综合水平对同伴支架作用具有决定作用.

This study adopted a quantitative and qualitative method to explore college English classrooms from a sociocultural perspective with 80 participants from two non-English majored classes. The result showed that:(1)the frequency of peer scaffolding differed a lot in three aspects of“provid. ing ideas”“providing emotional support”and“mistakes correcting”under mixed groups and free grouping groups;(2)group models did not have obvious influence on the frequency of different as. pects and total frequency of peer scaffolding. The study shows that group models do not have obvi. ous impact on peer scaffolding,instead,communicative willingness and English skills are two de. terminers of peer scaffolding.
