英语本科生学位论文写作:导师指导下的自我效能感演进与发展——以彝、布依、藏少数民族学生为例

Graduation Thesis Writing of English Majors: Evolution and Development of Self-efficacy under the Supervision——A Case Study of the Yi,Buyi and Tibetan Students

囿于地区发展及自身学习经历,少数民族英语专业学生在英文写作及学术能力方面较为薄弱,针对导师指导下少数民族学生自我效能感变化的相关实证研究较为匮乏。本研究采取历时质性个案研究方法,对导师指导下彝、布依、藏三个民族3名英语专业本科生在毕业论文写作过程中的自我效能感演进与发展进行为期两年的跟踪考察。研究有两个主要发现:1)少数民族学生的科研自我效能感通过导师开设有效性课程、布置阅读任务、定期口笔头汇报、构建学习共同体、差异化言语劝说以及情绪干预等多元指导策略的方式获得积极影响并发生改变;2)少数民族学生的直接成功经验与替代性经验因上述多元指导策略得到有效增强,从而使其论文撰写情绪逐渐趋于稳定,科研行为变得更具计划性、规范性和持续性。以上发现表明,指导教师应在指导中重视学科领域内直接知识的输入、科研替代性经验的获取、科研楷模的营造,同时还应该恰当地使用语言说服、情绪干预以及学习共同体模式下的同伴互助等方式来全面促成本科生自我效能感的演进与发展。本研究虽以少数民族英语专业本科生为例,但研究结果同样对汉族本科生论文撰写指导有借鉴意义。

Minority English major undergraduates are relatively weak in English writing and academic ability due to lowlevel of the regional development and personal learning experiences,and there are fewempirical studies on the change of minority undergraduates’ self-efficacy under the supervision of their supervisors. This study adopted a two-year longitudinal qualitative study on the Yi,Buyi and Tibetan undergraduate English majors,and observed their self-efficacy changing process under the tutorial supervision. The study has two major findings: 1) Minority undergraduates’ self-efficacy progresses due to the supervision through opening related courses,arranging reading tasks,requiring regular reports,organizing learning community,and conducting emotional intervention;2) The above-mentioned multiple guidance offer more experiences to the minority students,so that their emotional state gradually become stabilized,and their research behavior becomes well-planned,and sustainable. The study suggests that supervisors should pay special attention to the input of direct knowledge,the acquisition of vicarious experiences,the construction of role models,the conducting of verbal persuasion and emotional intervention,and the mutual assistance in learning community to promote the evolution and development of minority undergraduates’ self-efficacy. Although this study takes minority undergraduates as an example,the results of this study are also of reference to the supervision of thesis writing for Han students.
