Investigating Chinese Upper Secondary School Students’ Motivation for Learning English from the Aspects of Genders, Age, and Majors

Lu Larsson, Wei January 2021 (has links)
English language learning is an indispensable part of Chinese students’ education. As a core subject tested in the high-stakes national college entrance examination, English plays a decisive role in Chinese upper secondary students’ schooling. According to the Canadian social psychologist, Robert Gardner, when learning another language as a formal school course, motivation is a critical determinant of successful learning outcomes. Studies on motivation to learn English in China give precedence to tertiary education; empirical studies of secondary education are underrepresented. Drawing on a comparative perspective, this study investigated Chinese upper secondary students’ motivation to learn English from the aspects of genders, age, and majors. A questionnaire survey was undertaken to assemble data from 120 participants in an upper secondary school in Chengdu city. The results indicated that, the participants at large were positively motivated to learn English, and their motivation was preponderantly instrumentally oriented (e.g., educational qualification, occupational prospect, etc.). A statistically significant difference in motivation between the female and male participants was identified, namely that the females demonstrated a stronger motivation and were willing to expend more effort and perseverance to learn English. Neither age nor major was found to make any significant difference to motivation. The pedagogical implications suggested in this study, sheds light on tackling the issues of developing a long-term strategy for promoting sustainable motivation, as well as underpinning the English language pedagogy in Chinese upper secondary education.

考試導向的學習情境下試題預覽學習單對提升國中生英語學習動機與學習成就之效益 / The effect of the test-question preview worksheets on promoting junior high school students' English learning motivation and English achievement in a test-oriented learning context

張琬琪, Chang, Wan Chi Unknown Date (has links)
動機雖被認定為影響第二語言及外語學習的因素之一,然而如何在考試導向的學習環境下提升學生內在或自主性英語學習動機的相關研究並不多。本研究依據自我決定理論(the self-determination theory)來設計學習單,用以輔助學生學習學校的一般英語課程,來探討自我決定理論在現行教育環境下使用的效益。此外,學習單的使用是否能幫助學生的成就表現優於其他學生也一併研究。 參與本研究的對象為台灣北部一所公立國中八年級兩個班的六十位學生。這兩個班級有相似的社會背景及英語成就表現,並隨機被指定為實驗組與控制組。實驗組可在考試前預覽印在學習單上的試題,而控制組則直接參與考試。本實驗歷時七週,蒐集資料的工具包含問卷、學習單和該學校所舉辦的英語成就測驗(英語段考)。研究方法含量化及質性分析,主要探討學習單對學生的三個英語學 習動機元素(autonomy, competence and relatedness)及英語成就表現的影響。 研究結果顯示高成就學生的主動性(autonomy)及中等成就學生的主動性(autonomy)、自我感知的英語能力(perceived competence)以及與同儕、老師間的相關性(relatedness)有提升。然而,低成就學生的三個英語學習動機元素則下降。另外,實驗組在該學校所舉辦的英語成就測驗的表現和對照組相比並無明顯差異。本研究最後對使用學習單提升學生內在或自主性學習動機在實際教學上的應用提供建議,以作為參考。 / Although motivation has been viewed as an important factor that affects second and foreign language acquisition, there isn’t much research investigating how to promote students’ intrinsic or more self-regulated motivation to learn English in test-oriented classroom settings. This study explores this area by complementing students’ regular English classes at school with the worksheets designed based on the self-determination theory. Furthermore, it also investigates whether students with the aid of the worksheets would outperform those not using the worksheets academically. For this research purpose, two classes of 60 eighth-graders in a public junior high school in northern Taiwan took part in this study. The two classes with similar social background and English academic performances were randomly classified into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was given a chance to preview the test questions which were printed on the worksheets distributed to them as the complementary material before the tests. The control group, on the other hand, was given the tests directly without the chance to preview the test questions. The experiment lasted for seven weeks, and the data were collected through three instruments, a questionnaire, the worksheets, and a school administered-achievement test. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were adopted to probe into the influence of the worksheets upon the participants’ three motivational components, namely autonomy, competence, and relatedness as well as their academic performance on the achievement test. The study results indicate that the worksheets could help promote the high achievers’ autonomy and the middle achievers’ autonomy, competence perception and relatedness, but they did not exert positive effects on the low achievers. Furthermore, the experimental group didn’t outperform the control group on the school-administered achievement test. Some pedagogical implications were presented at the end of the thesis.

本研究旨在比較台北市與上海市國中生英語學習動機。本研究為質性研究,藉由兩地國中生以及他們的師長與家長的訪談,以理解兩地國中生的英語學習動機及影響學習動機的因素與結果。研究發現,台北市學生英語學習較趨以興趣為導向, 雖然他們仍須面對升學考試。而上海市學生面對人口競爭,學習壓力大,英語學習動機強烈。 / This study tried to investigate the different motivation in English learning and the elements that influence the student's motivation between the junior high school students in Shanghai and Taipei. This study is conducted through social observation and qualitative research approaches. The scope of this study focuses on the investigation in Taipei and Shanghai. The subjects of this research will be the junior high school students in Taipei and the junior high school students in Shanghai, and the graduated or elder students, and the students' teachers and parents as well. After the research, there are some findings. The overpopulated pressure lead students in China must study harder to enter top prestigious universities. The interviewers in this study revealed that Taiwanese students do not totally study due to external stress and English learning is based on interests. Parents in Taiwan hope their kids not only learn English for good grades but also develop their interests in English learning. In Shanghai, parents urge their children to study all the time. Parents concern the school grades very much. In Taipei, teachers are willing to be students’ friends. Differently, teachers in Shanghai are more authoritative than in Taipei. Teachers emphasize the accuracy on English learning. China’s accession to WTO affects the model of English learning. Globalization accelerates the trend to learn English. These years China runs some world-class convention and exhibition which attract more international business and tourists and encourage Chinese to learn English. In the process in this study, we found the English learning motivation of students in Shanghai is stronger than Taiwan's students.

It also attempts to compare the performance among students of different congnitive style on learning motivation and oral reading fluency. The pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design was adopted. The subjects were two groups of the junior high school students, one as the experimental group instructed by the application of intelligent pen and the other, as the control group, instructed by the traditional lecture method. At first, a pretest was conducted to measure the students’ English oral reading fluency and learning motivation. At last, English oral reading fluency, English learning motivation and satisfaction were also measured as parts of posttests. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANCOVA,and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. As for the data collected from the students’ responses to the questionnaires, they are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The following were the main findings of this study. 1. The experimental group’s posttest learning motivation score was higher than the control group’s. Compared the experimental group’s pretest and posttest learning motivation scores, the posttest levels were significantly higher than the pretest ones. For the control group, there was no significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. 2. The experimental group’s posttest English oral reading fluency score was not significantly higher than the control group’s. However, the experimental group made progress more significantly than the control group. For the experimental group and the control group, there were significant difference between their own pretest and posttest scores, because the control group was still offered more chances to read English aloud than before. 3.Not only field-independent (FI) students but also field-dependent (FD) ones were superior in the learning motivation. 4.Both the Field-independent (FI) and field-dependent (FD) students of the experimental group made progress in a gain of WCPM more significantly than the control group. 5. A student’s oral reading fluency score was positive correlation with the frequency of using the intelligent pen. 6. The experimental group’s posttest learning satisfaction scores were significantly higher than the control group’s.The findings suggest that the students of the experimental group’s learning satisfaction toward English had improved significantly after the proposed instruction. Most students reported that not only their pronunciation and intonation had become better but also they had become more concentrative in class and more active in participating in the classroom learning owing to the intelligent pen. In conclusion, compared with the traditional lecture method, applying intelligent pen to English teaching had significantly positive effect on promoting junior high school students’ English oral reading proficiency, learning motivation, and learning satisfaction. Furthermore, the students held positive attitudes towards the proposed instruction. Designing teaching curriculum, the English teachers in junior high schools may take the effects and differences into consideration.Meanwhile, the teachers can apply the digital resource in the English teaching activities to achieve more effective learning results. Hence, pedagogical implications and suggestions for future research are provided in the end.

英語學習動機模式之建立: 以台北市大一學生為例 / The development of english learning motivation model: a study on college freshmen in Taipei City

林桂如, Lin, Gui Ru Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討影響台灣非英語系大學生英語學習動機之因素,並建構動機模式。透過文獻探討,此動機模型包含以下五種動機成分:「融合取向」(Integrativeness)」、「工具取向(Instrumentality)」、「內在取向(Intrinsic Orientation)」、「外在取向(Extrinsic orientation)」及「動機行為(Motivational Behaviors) 」。本研究之研究對象為302位來自台北市8所大學的非英語系大一生。研究工具為包含「融合取向」(Integrativeness)」、「工具取向(Instrumentality)」、「內在取向(Intrinsic Orientation)」、「外在取向(Extrinsic orientation)」及「動機行為(Motivational Behaviors) 」五個量表的動機問卷。資料分析方法為結構方程模式(Structural Equation Modeling)。首先探討初始假設模型與樣本的適配情形,其次根據修正指標及相關理論進行模式修正,修正後之模式與資料適配。修正後的模式中,「融合取向」(Integrativeness)」、「工具取向(Instrumentality)」、「內在取向(Intrinsic Orientation)」、「外在取向(Extrinsic orientation)」彼此相關。然而,在此四變項中,僅「融合取向」(Integrativeness)」對於「動機行為(Motivational Behaviors) 」有顯著影響。此結果顯示「融合取向」(Integrativeness)」之定義可能已有所轉變。而研究對象之背景、變項之間的相互抵銷作用以及中介變項可能是其餘三變項對於「動機行為(Motivational Behaviors) 」無顯著影響之因。文末進一步提出相關建議,以期能作為台灣英語教師及未來研究參考。 / The purpose of this study was to investigate what kinds of motivational component influence motivational behaviors of Taiwanese non-English majors, and to propose an empirically grounded model of English learning motivation which presented the relationship among these components. The components in the model are Integrativeness, Instrumentality, Intrinsic Orientation, Extrinsic orientation and Motivational Behaviors. The participants in the study were 302 freshmen studying in Taipei City. The instrument was an adapted questionnaire composed scales of Integrativeness, Instrumentality, Intrinsic Orientation, Extrinsic orientation and Motivational Behaviors. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the data. The hypothesized model was tested and modified using the 302 samples of the participants. In the final model, the four components, Integrativeness, Instrumentality, Intrinsic Orientation, and Extrinsic Orientation were found to correlate with one another. However, among the hypothesized influences on Motivational Behaviors, namely, the influences from Integrativeness, Instrumentality, Intrinsic Orientation, and Extrinsic Orientation on Motivational Behaviors, only the path between Integrativeness and Motivational Behaviors was left in the modified model. The result may indicate the transfer of the definition of Integrativeness, and the two removed paths and one no significant path may be explained by the background of the participants, the compensatory effects, and the existence of mediating variables. Finally, it is expected that the results of the present study offer a new perspective to understand Taiwanese EFL learners’ English learning motivation, and provide pedagogical implications for English instructors in Taiwan and future studies.

不同多媒體合作標註對於國小學童英語字彙 / A Study on the Effects of Collaborative Multimedia Annotations on Elementary School Students’ Vocabulary Learning Performance

李懿融, Li, Yi Rong Unknown Date (has links)
英語字彙的知識和能力是學好英語的關鍵因素之一,同時亦是影響閱讀流暢度的主要原因。但英語字彙教學常受限於時間及語言學習環境的限制,致使學習成效有限。隨著資訊科技的進步,許多研究著手於發展科技輔助英語字彙學習系統來輔助學習者進行英語字彙學習,希望能將英語字彙學習擴展到課程之外的時間。過去閱讀標註系統已被成功應用在提升學生的閱讀及字彙能力,然而相關的研究大都以使用文字、圖片和影片單一標註功能為主,鮮少研究探討多媒體閱讀標註對於字彙學習的研究。此外,閱讀標註部份也以教師的標註輔助學習為主,未有透過學生合作標註輔以英語字彙學習的研究。鑒於多媒體標註功能對教學的助益,本研究探討以具多媒體標註功能的數位閱讀標註系統來輔助英語字彙學習,不同多媒體標註組合對於英語字彙學習的影響差異。 據此,本研究探討在英文閱讀文本上讓國小學童採用文字及聲音(學生錄音)、圖片及聲音(學生錄音)與文字、圖片及聲音(學生錄音)等三種不同多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習,對於兒童英語字彙學習成效、英語學習動機、學習滿意度以及記憶保留的影響差異。此外,也進一步探討採用上述三種不同多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習,對於不同認知風格、不同英語能力及不同性別學童的英語字彙學習成效、英語學習動機、學習滿意度,以及記憶保留的影響差異,希望能發展出最有助於兒童基於多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習的有效閱讀標註輔助學習模式。 研究結果發現:(1)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的學童在英語字彙學習的成效上,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童,而採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童之成效又顯著優於採用與語音標註搭配文字標註的學童;(2)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註以及採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童在英語字彙記憶保留的成效上顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的學童;(3)採用三種不同多媒體搭配進行合作式閱讀標註的學童,其英語學習動機除了使用語音標註搭配文字標註的學童在「動機強度」向度的表現顯著優於使用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童外,其餘向度未達顯著差異;而學習滿意度均無顯著差異;(4)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的圖像型學童,在英語字彙學習成效顯著高於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的圖像型學童;(5)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註進行英語字彙學習的圖像型學童之英語字彙學習保留成效,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的圖像型學童;(6)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的高分組學童之英語字彙學習成效,顯著高於採用語音標註搭配文字標註以及採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的高分組學童;(7)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的高分組學童之英語字彙學習保留成效,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的高分組學童;(8)學童採用語音標註搭配文字、語音標註搭配圖片標註、語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註三種模式進行合作式閱讀標註,其英語字彙學習成效與英語字彙記憶保留程度,以及英語學習動機與學習滿意度之間具顯著相關性。最後,本研究亦提出應用多媒體標註於英語教學以及未來研究方向上的建議。 / English vocabulary knowledge and capability are the key factors in well learning English as well as the major factor in reading fluency. Nonetheless, English vocabulary teaching is often restricted to time and language learning environments to further restrict the learning achievement. With the advance of information technology, a lot of research focuses on developing technology-assisted English vocabulary learning systems to help learners’ English vocabulary learning, expecting to expand English vocabulary learning to the time beyond lessons. Past reading annotation systems were successfully applied to enhance students’ reading and vocabulary capabilities. However, most relevant research stressed on single annotation function of text, picture, and video, but seldom on multimedia reading annotation towards vocabulary learning. Moreover, reading annotation also concentrated on teacher annotation-assist learning, but not on student cooperative annotation assisted English vocabulary learning. In consideration of the assistance of multimedia annotation in teaching, a digital reading annotation system with multimedia annotation functions is utilized for English vocabulary learning to discuss the effects of different multimedia annotation combination on English vocabulary learning. Accordingly, English vocabulary learning assisted with different multimedia reading annotation of text & voice (student recording), picture & voice (student recording), and text, picture & voice (student recording) in English reading texts for elementary pupils is investigated the effects on children’s English vocabulary learning achievement, English learning motivation, learning satisfaction, and memory retention. Furthermore, the above multimedia reading annotation assisted English vocabulary learning are also discussed the effects on English vocabulary learning achievement, English learning motivation, learning satisfaction, and memory retention of pupils with different cognitive styles, English capabilities, and genders, expecting to develop the most effective reading annotation assisted learning model based on multimedia reading annotation assisted English vocabulary learning. The research findings are summarized as below. (1) Pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation significantly outperform the ones with voice annotation and picture annotation on English vocabulary learning achievement, while the ones with voice annotation with picture annotation remarkably outperform those voice annotation and text annotation. (2) Pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation and the ones applying voice annotation with picture annotation notably outperform the others with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary memory retention. (3) Among pupils applying different multimedia with cooperative reading annotation, the ones with voice annotation and text annotation present significantly better performance than those with voice annotation and picture annotation on Motive Strength in English learning motivation, but not on the rest dimensions. Besides, the learning satisfaction does not appear remarkable difference. (4) Pictorial pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation notably present higher English vocabulary learning achievement than those pictorial pupils with text annotation. (5) Pictorial pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation significantly outperform the other pictorial pupils with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary learning retention. (6) High-score pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation remarkably outperform the other high-score pupils applying voice annotation with text annotation and voice annotation with picture annotation on English vocabulary learning achievement. (7) High-score pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation notably outperform the other high-score pupils with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary learning retention. (8) Pupils applying different cooperative reading annotation of voice annotation with text annotation, voice annotation with picture annotation, and voice annotation with text & picture annotation show significant correlations between English vocabulary learning achievement and English vocabulary memory retention as well as English learning motivation and learning satisfaction. Finally, suggestions for applying multimedia annotation to English teaching and for future research directions are also proposed in this study.
