论文摘要
本研究是一项关于教师的学生观与行为的个案研究。目前我国大学英语教学正在进行一场深刻的改革与创新。广大英语教师正面临着许多新的挑战,尤其是如何更新教学理念、掌握现代化教学手段等的挑战。因而对大学英语教学改革中的关键人物——英语教师——进行深入、细致的研究就显得尤为重要。本研究中的教师信念是指教师对各种各样事物的观点,是教师目前坚信不疑但将来也许会质疑的观点,这种观点指导着教师的行为。它具有动态性、隐讳性、情境性和社会性等特征。本研究探讨了两位性别、年龄以及教学经历不同的英语教师的学生观与行为。本研究为质性研究,采用深度访谈、刺激回忆访谈和课堂观察收集数据,研究中主要从建构主义、社会建构主义以及人本主义的理论视角探讨了教师的学生信念(或个人理论)。在分析数据时将Roland Meighan的关于学习者的七种类型与本研究的研究对象提出的关于学习者的观点相结合,得出本研究数据分析的依据类型。主要的研究发现有:关于教师的学生信念——1)尽管两位教师对学生的分类方式不同,但他们都认为学生是不同的个体,具有不同的认知和情感特征以及不同的个人需要;2)两位教师都希望与学生形成并保持伙伴的关系;3)两位教师均认为学生需要老师的帮助与鼓励;4)一位教师认为学生是主动的学习者,在正确的引导下可以独立思考,另一位教师认为学生在学习中需要更多的督促和指导。关于教师的课堂行为——1)两位教师都对学生很和善,班级的氛围非常舒适愉快;2)两位教师均在课堂中对学生采用一些鼓励措施。关于教师的学生信念与课堂行为关系以及影响教师信念发展的因素:1)教师信念指引教师的行为,教师行为又总能反映出教师内隐的信念;2)教师的行为以及对行为的反思会引起信念的变化甚至形成新的信念;3)两位教师的的学生观主要源于他们自己的学习经历以及教学经历;4)总的来说,两位教师的学生观与他们的课堂行为是一致的。基于本研究的结论,作者就我国外语教师教育和发展研究提出一些建议以及后续研究空间:1)教师应成为反思性从业者;2)继续教育对教师很重要;3)教师需要来自督导以及其他观察者的建议;4)外语教师不只是要掌握语言,而是要有全面的知识。
