语言理据性视角下的医学英语术语学习态度及策略调查研究

Research on the learning attitude and strategies of medical English terminology on the perspective of linguistic motivation

目的:基于医学术语理据性,探究学生学习医学英语术语的学习态度和策略。方法:以省内一所医学院校中医学类专业本科三年级学生为研究对象,采用问卷调查的方法,了解学生医学英语术语学习的大体情况,比较不同性别和基础英语水平学生医学英语术语学习的差异,分析学生对医学英语术语学习的认识和所采用的学习策略的相关性。结果:不同性别学生在"重视程度""形态理据使用"及"听力中使用频率"方面差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05～P<0.01);不同基础英语水平学生在"重视程度""每周用时""语音理据使用""形态理据使用""词源理据使用""阅读中使用频率""听力中使用频率"以及"说中使用频率"方面差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);学生在医学英语术语学习认识和学习策略两个维度间呈正向相关性(P<0.01)。结论:医学英语教师应当帮助学生端正学习态度,消除他们所认为的"基础英语水平不高就无法学好医学英语"的顾虑;在策略上引导学生解析术语的理据结构、着力培养学生的思维方式,做到授之以渔。

Objective: To explore the learning attitude and strategies of students in learning medical English terminology on the basis of motivation. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in the third grade clinical major students in a medical college to understand the general situation of students′ learning medical English terminology,compare the differences of learning medical English terminology among different gender and basic English level students,and analyze the correlation between the cognition and learning strategies of students′ learning medical English terminology. Results: The differences of the "degree of emphasis","use of morphological motivation" and "use frequency in listening" among different gender students were statistically significant( P <0.05 to P < 0.01).The differences of the"degree of emphasis","time spent per week","use of phonetic motivation","use of morphological motivation","use of etymological motivation","use frequency in reading","use frequency in listening",and "use frequency in speaking" among different basic English level students were statistically significant( P <0.05).There was a positive correlation between learning cognition and learning strategies of students in medical English terminology( P <0.01). Conclusions: Medical English teachers should help students correct their learning attitude and eliminate their concerns that they cannot learn medical English well without a high level of basic English,guide them analyzing the motivation structure of medical terminologies,cultivate them thinking mode and teach them how to "fish".
