非英语专业大学生自主学习能力的培养与提高其阅读成绩间的相关性实验研究

论文摘要

早在两千多年前,我国古代伟大的教育家孔子就已经提出:“予人于鱼,一日食鱼;授人以渔,终身食鱼。”说明了培养自主学习能力的重要性。随着教学主体从教学的客体(语言、教材、写作、翻译等)向教学主体学习者转变,教学重点从学会到会学的转变,使自主学习能力的培养成了语言教学的最主要目标之一。在中国,众多研究者都在研究如何在外语学习中推行自主学习。但就目前甘肃的语言环境,教学条件,学生大多是靠阅读来获得信息的。因此,我致力于在阅读教学中以培养学生自主学习能力为主的教学方法来提高学生的阅读成绩。本研究以认知心理学,建构主义为理论依据,采用了定量研究的方法,通过教学实验,用问卷调查和三次阅读考试收集到的数据,通过SPSS13.0分析来说明培养自主学习能力与阅读成绩提高间的相关性。在教学实验的过程中,主要采用了以下几种方法来培养学生的阅读自主性:首先使学生重新认识自己在学习中应该担当的角色,并帮助他们明确学生的动机及拥有积极的态度,然后使他们在阅读的过程中能够自主地设定目标及阅读计划,尽可能多的创造自主氛围,使学生能够自主地正确地使用阅读策略,适时让学生自己选择阅读材料,并在完成阅读计划的同时做自我评估的自主性阅读过程。通过实验数据,明确显示学生的学习自主性可以培养并且对阅读成绩的提高有积极的影响,从而证明了我研究重点的教学意义:对教师而言,能更明确教学的重点为教会学生学习,对学生而言,能更独立更好地完成学习任务,从而使教师的教和学生的学都变得很成功。
