英语专业本科生批判性思维倾向调查研究——以皖北H大学为例

A Study of Critical Thinking Tendency of English Majors——with H University in Northern Anhui as an Example

以批判性思维倾向问卷中文修订版(CTDI-CV)为测量工具,以皖北H大学英语专业本科生为样本,调查分析了其批判性思维倾向的现状以及不同群体学生批判性思维倾向的差异。结果显示:英语专业本科生总体具备正性的批判性思维倾向,但强度不高;在七个维度当中,学生的求知欲、认知成熟度、思想开放性和分析能力为正性倾向,寻求真理性、系统化分析、自信心为负性倾向。总体而言,年级、高中类型以及父母受教育程度不同的学生批判性思维倾向差异显著,性别和本科层次不同的学生批判性思维倾向差异不显著。进而,提出提升批判性思维倾向的教学建议。
