建构主义视角下“自评互评”在高职英语翻译教学中的应用研究

A Study on the Application of Self-Assessment and Peer-Assessment in English Translation Teaching in Vocational College from the Perspective of Constructivism

以建构主义学习理论为指导,将“学生自评”和“同伴互评”两种评价模式进行有机结合,在高职院校英语翻译教学中开展“自评互评”模式的研究实验。研究对象是61名高职商务英语专业高年级学生,实验时长为一学年72课时,通过随机分组(实验班和控制班),采用前测、后测、调查问卷、课堂观察和学生访谈等研究工具,探讨该新评价模式在翻译教学中的应用效果。实验表明,实验班绝大多数受试者认可这种评价模式的应用,并认为其能激发翻译学习热情、提高学习兴趣,增强与同伴之间的合作;同时,实验后测与前测数据对比分析表明,“自评互评”能切实提高翻译能力,实验班受试者在词汇拼写、商务术语积累、语法的准确性、篇章结构的合理性和内容的正确性等方面均得到提高,翻译质量明显高于控制班水平。

With a view to improving the teaching effectiveness and translating skills of vocational English majors,the study applied Self-assessment and Peer-assessment to the English translation teaching in vocational college from the perspective of the Constructivism learning theory.The study lasted for 36 weeks(72 periods),and took 61 students majoring in Business English as subjects of the study with a purpose to answer 2 questions:Firstly,what were the students’attitudes towards Self-assessment and Peer-assessment in English translation teaching?Secondly,what were the effects of Self-assessment and Peer-assessment on students’translating?Pre-test,post-test,questionnaire,classroom observation and interviews were used as the experimental tools in the study.The study showed that most students welcomed and accepted the application of the combination of Self-assessment and Peer-assessment,and believed that it could stimulate their enthusiasm of translation learning,improve their interest in learning,and enhance their cooperation with their peers.At the same time,the comparative analysis of the post-test and pre-test data showed that Self-assessment and Peer-assessment could effectively improve students’translation skills,such as vocabulary spelling,business term accumulation,grammar accuracy,rationality of text structure and correctness of content.
