定向动机流视阈下英语专业大学生科研动机动态变化研究

The dynamic changes of research motivation among English majors from the perspective of directional motivation currents

本研究基于定向动机流理论框架,采用回溯定性建模法,探究英语专业大学生科研动机的个体特征和典型动态特征。结果表明,学生的科研动机历时波动轨迹呈现定向动机流的变化特点,为意愿、认知、情感、行为四位一体的软集合体,同时沿着“外在调节——融合调节——失败回避——认同调节”的轨迹逐渐内化,自我决定程度逐步强化。在此过程中,学生的情感与专业基本能力同导师的指导与帮助相互协调适应,促进科研动机的动态发展。本研究体现了定向动机流对激发与维持科研动机的实用价值,尤其是情感因素发挥了积极作用,对英语专业大学生科研能力培养具有启示意义。

This paper explores the individual characteristics and typical dynamic characteristics of the research motivation of the English major college students,by means of retrodictive qualitative modeling method and under the guidance of directional motivation currents theory.The results show that the diachronic fluctuation trajectory of the student’s research motivation presents the characteristics of directional motivation currents,which is a soft assembly of willingness,cognition,emotionality,and behavior.In addition,it gradually internalizes along the trajectory of“external regulation—introjected regulation—failure avoidance—identified regulation”,and the degree of self-determination gradually strengthens.In this process,the student’s emotions and language competence are coordinated with and adapted to the guidance and assistance of the mentor,promoting the dynamic development of their research motivation.This study demonstrates the practical value of directed motivation currents in stimulating and maintaining research motivation,especially the positive role of emotional factors,which may have some inspiration for cultivating the research competence of English major college students.
