掌握学习理论在成人英语教学中的应用

论文摘要

本文主要讲述了掌握学习理论在成人英语教学中应用的有效性和可行性。掌握学习理论是20世纪70年代美国著名教育心理学家和课程论专家本杰明·S·布垆坶提出的一种全新的学校课堂学习理论。该理论强调教学过程中及时的反馈和形成性评价,这一点正是传统教学模式所忽视和缺乏的。大多数成人学生都有一定的英语学习基础只是在语言知识和应用上存在许多的误解。掌握学习理论的形成性评价能够及时反馈、澄清成人在英语学习中所存在的误解,从而弥补了传统教学中教师只顾教忽视学生对教学内容是否掌握的客观现象。本研究进行了长达四个月的实验。受试的两个班级来自大连理工大学成人教育学院2006级学生,每组40人。研究者对实验组采用掌握学习理论这一新式教学法,而对控制组采用了传统教学法。在测量工具方面,采用了实验前测试,实验后测试和问卷调查,访谈等方式,并对结果进行整理、统计分析,最后发现,与控制组相比,实验组取得了显著的进步。所以,可推论出,掌握学习理论较传统的教学方法更适用于成人英语教学。多数成人在学习英语中所面临的瓶颈问题得到解决。总之,实验表明在成人英语教学中应用掌握学习理论是可行和有效的。
