語用教學研究大多專注在教學成效，並以量化研究比較跨文化語用文化規範和溝通策略之差異，然，只有少數的質化研究探討語用研究理論如何落實在外語教學師生的學習動機。準確來說，本研究檢視以英語為外語師生如何看待語用能力培養，以及學習社會語言之動機相關經驗。先前文獻已經指出，第二語言語用學習動機研究，需要投入更多的努力。 因此，本質化個案研究旨在探討臺灣以英語為外語師生學習語用動機。資料蒐集透過面訪、課室觀察和課堂筆記以及研究者的省思日誌，從學習動機的角度審視外語語用教學，洞悉多層次語言學習動機。 研究結果顯示，受訪師生均認為語用教學對第二語言發展極為重要，縱使社會政治情境因素的干擾，諸如考試領導教學、授課時數嚴重不足和偏重語法教學，然而，在學習語言禮貌和適切性方面，受訪者均偏好語言實用功能和實際生活應用，甚於傳統單一語法教學。受訪老師指出在語言四項技能統整課程，語用教學比例明顯偏低，認為語用教學在臺灣並不普及。另外，臺灣英語為外語老師普遍未能滿足學生語用學習需求。 雖然師生起初對學習外語語用似乎未注意其重要性，然而，在回顧外語學習的歷程中，受訪者提高對於文化適切表達之醒覺。本研究期許幫助臺灣學習英語為外語師生了解語用教學在溝通功能中扮演的重要角色，促進未來語用教學研究之實踐，發展語言使用者之溝通能力。 / Though much of L2 pragmatics research has focused on the effectiveness of instructional pragmatics and cross-cultural variations of pragmatic norms and strategies used in the target language via cross-sectional quantitative research, little, however, has been conducted to explore teachers’ and students’ motivational experiences of implementing pragmatics instruction in real-life teaching and learning practices in EFL contexts. Specifically, little was known about what and how teachers and students perceive the role of developing pragmatic ability and their motivations to teach and learn socio-pragmatic functions since prior research has suggested that more research efforts should be done in the line of L2 pragmatics research. Therefore, this study aims to investigate both teachers’ and students’ motivations of learning and teaching pragmatics through qualitative research. Multiple data sources were collected through face-to-face interviews, classroom observations and field notes as well as the researcher’s reflective journals, to illuminate the dynamic, multifaceted motivational experiences of L2 instructional pragmatics. The findings suggest that both teachers and students considered the role of teaching and learning pragmatics essential to second language development pertaining to the polite and appropriate use of the target language, and its learning utility, practical functions and intrinsic interest in using language for authentic communication purposes despite the sociopolitical factors, such as exam-oriented teaching, lack of top-down institutional support and the implementation of English language policy in Taiwan. Nevertheless, the teacher voiced her inadequacy of teaching L2 pragmatics in a four-skill integrated course and demonstrated her concerns about the prevalence of teaching students how to speak English in a culturally appropriate way, which is, however, contrary to students’ eager expectations to learn L2 pragmatics. Albeit both the teacher and the students tended to ignore L2 pragmatics at first, after the initial reflections they raised their awareness of culturally speaking in an appropriate way. In this study, it was hoped to empower both teachers and students to understand their teaching and learning practices by sensitizing them to L2 pragmatics in EFL contexts, to facilitate the implementation of L2 pragmatics instruction in the classroom and to underscore the importance of developing learners’ communicative competence in Taiwan.

A presente pesquisa tem por objeto o estudo dos aspectos motivacionais que atuam na relação professor-aluno nas aulas de Física do Ensino Médio em escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo, e foi guiada pela seguinte questão: Por que em relação aos estudos algumas pessoas gostam, querem e se esforçam, enquanto outras ou são claramente apáticas, ou simplesmente desistem? A busca por respostas a esta questão foi empreendida através da análise do conteúdo de uma série de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, realizadas junto a cinco (05) professores e onze (11) alunos, todos voluntários. Esta análise se deu de tal forma que os aspectos motivacionais modelaram um instrumento específico de estudo, convenientemente desenhado para este trabalho. Da análise dos dados emergiram dimensões que evidenciam um importante papel motivacional, positivo e negativo, dos conteúdos e das interações, tanto para alunos quanto para professores. Já para os professores, além destas duas dimensões, o exercício profissional impôs-se com bastante importância. Por fim, a interpretação dos dados, das categorias e das dimensões revelou-nos encontros e desencontros importantes entre professores e alunos. Dentre eles destacam-se a prática inconsciente (os professores motivam e desmotivam seus alunos e nem sequer se dão conta disso) e a percepção da variedade motivacional (grande diferença na variedade de situações motivacionais quando vistas por professores ou alunos). / The subject of this research is to study the motivational aspects that play a role in the relationship between teachers and students during Physics classes on High School in public schools of São Paulo. It was conducted by the following question: why, in relation to the act of studying, some people like it and made efforts in order to learn, while others are clearly apathetic or simply give up? The search for answers to this question was made by analysing the content of many semi-structured interviews with five (05) teachers and eleven (11) students, all volunteers. This analysis was done in such a way that the motivational aspects modelled an specific tool of study, specifically designed for this work. From the analysis of the data arose dimensions that show an important motivational role (positive and negative) of the content, even to students as for teachers. To teachers, beyond this two dimensions, the professional experience is very important. And finally, the interpretation of data, category and dimensions revealed to us significant matches and mismatches between students and teachers. Some of them would be the unconsious practice (teaches motivate their pupils whitout even noticing they are doing it) and the perceptions of motivational variety (great diference in the variety of motivational situations when faced by teachers or students).

近年來隨著網路學習的發展，能夠透過網路輔以學習者進行線上合作閱讀學習的合作數位閱讀標註系統興起，並已發展出多媒體的標註模式，不但可以由學生自己針對閱讀文本進行合作閱讀標註，更可以在閱讀文本上進行標註互動討論，具有提昇閱讀理解成效的效益。而數學應用問題的閱讀理解，影響學習者對於數學應用問題的解題甚巨，但是長久以來並無好的提升數學應用問題閱讀理解策略。本研究比較採用合作數位閱讀標註系統及使用傳統同儕面對面合作學習數學應用問題的實驗組與控制組學習者，在解決數學應用問題的學習成效及學習動機上是否具有顯著差異。此外，亦探討場地獨立/場地依賴型不同認知風格及高/低不同學習能力的學習者，採用上述兩種不同學習方法進行數學應用問題學習之學習成效與學習動機是否具有顯著的差異，最後探討實驗學習者使用此合作式數位閱讀標註系統輔以數學應用問題學習之學習滿意度。 研究結果發現：（1）採用合作式數位閱讀標註系統輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題學習，在學習成效與學習動機上均顯著優於傳統同儕面對面合作學習數學一元一次方程式應用問題；（2）採用合作式數位閱讀標註系統以及傳統同儕面對面合作學習輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題學習的實驗組與控制組學習者，在回歸到一般學習後，實驗組在學習成效上仍顯著優於控制組學習者；（3）無論是場地獨立或場地相依認知風格學習者，採用合作式數位閱讀標註系統輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題的標註學習後，在學習動機上均顯著優於採用傳統同儕面對面合作學習輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題學習的控制組學習者；（4）無論是高低不同能力學習者，採用合作式數位閱讀標註系統輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題的標註學習後，在學習動機上均顯著優於採用傳統同儕面對面合作學習輔以進行數學一元一次方程式應用問題學習的控制組學習者；（5）實驗組場地獨立學習者在使用合作式數位閱讀標註系統後的學習動機優於場地相依學習者；（6）實驗組高學習能力學習者在使用合作式數位閱讀標註系統後的學習動機優於低能力學習者。 綜合以上，本研究所提出採用合作數位閱讀標註系統輔以數學應用問題閱讀理解的學習模式，具有提升學習動機與閱讀理解成效的效益，可推廣至解決更複雜數學單元之閱讀理解，甚至發展為創新數學教學之翻轉教學模式。 / Along with the development of web-based learning in past years, cooperative digital reading annotation systems, which could assist learners in online cooperative reading learning through the Internet, are emerged. Besides, multimedia annotation models are also developed for students, aiming at the reading texts, proceeding cooperative reading annotation as well as annotation interactive discussion on the reading texts. It presents the benefit to enhance the reading comprehension efficiency. The reading comprehension of mathematical application problems would largely affect learners’ mathematical application problem solving. However, there has not been a good strategy to enhance the reading comprehension of mathematical application problems. In comparison with the experimental group and the control group, which respectively apply the cooperative digital reading annotation system and traditional peers’ face-to-face cooperative learning to solve mathematical application problems, the differences in the learning outcome and learning motivation are discussed in this study. Furthermore, learners with field independent/field dependent cognitive styles and high/low learning abilities are preceded above two different learning approaches for learning mathematical application problems to discuss the differences in the learning outcome and learning motivation. Finally, learners learning mathematical application problems with the cooperative digital reading annotation system in the experiment are discussed the learning satisfaction. The research findings are summarized as below. (1) Learners applying the cooperative digital reading annotation system to learn the mathematical application problems in linear equation with one unknown present better learning outcome and learning motivation than those using traditional peers’ face-to-face cooperative learning for the mathematical application problems in linear equation with one unknown. (2) The experimental group, applying the cooperative digital reading annotation system to learn mathematical application problems in linear equation with one unknown, still outperforms the experimental group, using traditional peers’ face-to-face cooperative learning, on the learning outcome after return to general learning. (3) Learners with either field independent or field dependent cognitive style present significant better learning motivation, after learning mathematical application problems in linear equation with one unknown with the cooperative digital reading annotation system, than those applying traditional peers’ face-to-face cooperative learning. (4) Learners with either high or low ability show remarkably better learning motivation, after learning mathematical application problems in linear equation with one unknown with the cooperative digital reading annotation system, than those using traditional peers’ face-to-face cooperative learning. (5) Field independent learners in the experimental group present better learning motivation than field dependent learners after using the cooperative digital reading annotation system. (6) Learners with high learning ability in the experimental group reveal better learning motivation than those with low ability after using the cooperative digital reading annotation system. In sum, the learning model for the reading comprehension of mathematical application problems with the cooperative digital reading annotation system proposed in this study could enhance the benefits of learning motivation and reading comprehension. It could be promoted to solve the reading comprehension of more complicated mathematical units and even to become the flipped teaching model for innovative mathematics teaching.

Title of the master's thesis: Augmented reality (AR) and its possibilities of use in education: Evaluation of the contribution of AR for teaching vocabulary in German based on a comparison of classical and experimental learning methods Abstract: This master's thesis focuses on the use of augmented reality (AR) in the context of education. AR currently represents a dynamically evolving technology. The aim was to explore the benefits of using AR for foreign language teaching, to compare the possibilities of didactic application with the traditional way of teaching and to find out whether learning with AR is a motivating factor stimulating students' interest and a tool for better understanding and memorizing through visualization and acting on emotions. The theoretical part of the work presented the characteristics of augmented reality, its types and areas of use and compared it with virtual and mixed reality. It briefly mentioned the history of AR, the advantages and negative aspects of the use of this method, the current state of research in language didactics and cases of the use of AR in education in the Czech Republic and abroad. In the practical part, a web interface was created using the Model Viewer tool, which allows users to view 3D objects in augmented reality. Then, quantitative research was...

This thesis deals with the issue of teaching continuing beginners in adult EFL classes. It focuses on the description of factors that may influence the learning stagnation among these learners, and it attempts to ascertain the extent to which these factors take effect. Consequently, the thesis aims to characterize Czech continuing beginners as an independent group of learners and to provide scientific evidence which could clarify the assumptions, underlying the continuing-beginner concept. Lastly, but importantly, the thesis also intends to instigate further research in the field. The subject was investigated from the perspective of available pedagogical, andragogcial and psychological literature. Accordingly, four major factors, which may be at the root of continuing-beginner phenomenon, were identified: a mismatch between learning and teaching styles, insufficient study motivation, hindrances to learning and learning disabilities. These four areas were further focused on in a questionnaire survey, using rating scales to determine the importance of the individual areas. The study worked with three hypotheses. Firstly, continuing beginners were expected to report difficulties in at least two of the established areas. Secondly, it was presupposed that the rate of learning disabilities would be somewhat...

個人學習動機向來被認為是影響學習成就的重要因素，但是家庭也對學生的學習提供特定的脈絡條件。因此，在探討學生學習成就與時間發展效應之時，若能同時納入個人與家庭因素，並探討其間的交互作用，將能對於兩者的影響力進行客觀的檢驗。本研究的目的主要在探討臺灣青少年學習成就的成長軌跡變化型態，以及家庭文化資本與個人學習動機對於學習成就成長軌跡的影響機制。其中學生的文化資本是來自家庭父母所傳遞下來的先天條件，係屬於一種結構因素；而學生的學習動機則是來自個人後天的努力與學習的正向動力，係屬於一種個人因素。具體而言，本研究目的分為三個主要的研究議題，首先，根據Bourdieu（1977）的文化資本概念，以及Bandura（1977, 1986, 1997）與McInerney和McInerney（1994）的學習動機觀點，探討這兩個重要解釋變數對於各波學生學習成就的影響情形；再者，根據Sternberg（1985, 1986, 1988）的智力三元論觀點探討學生學習成就的成長變化情形；最後，探討文化資本與學習動機對於學生學習成就成長軌跡的交互作用效果。 研究資料取自臺灣教育長期追蹤資料庫（Taiwan Educational Panel Survey）的四波追蹤樣本，以潛在成長曲線模式進行次級資料分析。研究結果發現：1.臺灣青少年的學習成就成長軌跡呈現非線性的遞增漸緩的成長曲線；學生在學習成就的起始能力與成長速率存在個別差異，且學生的起始能力與成長速率具有正向的關係，顯示隨著時間的遞移，起始能力高與低的學生，其能力的差距會逐漸擴大。2.文化資本與學習動機對於學習成就成長軌跡的影響未具交互作用，顯示個人的學習動機並不能減緩或反轉文化資本對於學生學習成就的影響。3.文化資本與學習動機對於學生學習成就的主要效果，在學習的早期階段，存在正向的影響效果，但影響力會隨著時間而逐漸降低。4.文化資本係影響學生學習成就成長軌跡的重要因素，文化資本的豐富與不足會加劇學生學習成就的差距，因而造成強者恆強、弱者恆弱的「馬太效應」現象。最後，依據上述的研究發現，分別提出教育實務上、未來研究與對資料庫研究的建議，以供相關教育人員與研究者參考。 / Individual motivation has always been recognized as the key factor for influencing the students’ learning achievement. However, the family of the students is also considered as an important contextual determinant. As a result, in order to analyze the students’ learning achievement against the temporal effect of time, it is imperative that the factor of family background should be included for understanding the interaction of the factors on the learning achievement. The primary goal of this study is to inquiry the patterns the development and change of learning achievement growth trajectory of the Taiwan adolescent. Particularly, this study explores the effects of family cultural capital and learning motivation on adolescent learning achievement growth trajectory. By definition, family cultural capital which is a structural factor refers to the inherent characteristics that are passed down from the students’ parents. On the other hand, the students’ learning motivation which is a personal factor refers to the extrinsic factor that arises from later days’ hard work and positive learning efforts. In terms of research objectives, this study tries to integrate the Bourdieu’s (1977) perspective of cultural capital, and Bandura’s (1977, 1986, 1997) as well as McInerney and McInerney’s (1994) concept of learning motivation into a framework for examining the effects of the learning growth of different waves of students. Secondly, by applying the Sternberg’s (1985, 1986, 1988) triarchic theory of intelligence to examine the changes of the students’ learning growth trajectory. Finally, to analyze the interaction between the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on their learning achievement trajectory. The data using in this study was selected from the longitudinal database Taiwan Educational Panel Survey (TEPS). A total of four waves of students’ data were downloaded and analyzed as secondary data using the latent growth curve modeling (LGCM). Major results of the study were followed: First, the learning achievement trajectory of Taiwan adolescents’ seemed to be gradually growing in a non-linear incremental curve; it also shown that at the beginning the students’ learning achievement displayed significant individual differences. Likewise results also revealed a positive relationship between the students’ initial status and growth rate of learning achievement. That is, as the passing of time, the initial status of learning achievement affected the growth of disparity among the students. Second, there were no significant interaction effect between the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on the learning achievement growth trajectory. This means that the students’ learning motivation cannot moderate the effects of cultural capital towards the learning achievement. Third, results revealed that the main effects of the students’ cultural capital and learning motivation on the learning achievement were occurred on the early stages of learning. A significant positive effect was found in these stages, however, the positive effect gradually decreased along with the passing of time. Fourth, it was found that the minimal effect of students’ cultural capital on their learning achievement growth trajectory was determined by the abundance or deficiency of the former. The amount of cultural capital also determined the distance of the students’ gap. In other words, a phenomenon of the Mathew effect was supported; wherein the students who are in a strong stand will get stronger later on, while the weak shall get weaker. Besides the findings mentioned above, recommendations for further study and limitations of the present study were given at the end.

In Scotland, further education colleges provide 28% of all higher education; this includes over half of part-time undergraduate higher education. This provision has contributed to wider participation in higher education in Scotland by “non traditional” students and to progress towards a mass system of higher education within a learning society. This thesis is a case study of higher education students in a Scottish further education college. It explores the nature of the students’ experience and its relevance to institutional management and higher education policy. Evidence is drawn from the college’s records, from focus groups and from a questionnaire survey of whole year groups (full-time and part-time students) over three successive years. The theoretical focus is upon a new definition of lifelong learning as learning integrated with life, drawn from literature on motive, motivation, participation and retention. The research explores the students’ experiences of combining study with work and family life. The student experience is found to be heterogeneous, complex and distinct from the stereotype of a young full-time university student. Vocational motives predominate and there is evidence of a significant investment of meaning, expectation and purpose in the experience of higher education. The students’ ability to balance and integrate learning with life is a determining factor in the achievement of sustained participation. The quality of support networks both in college and in the students’ work and family lives are found to be more significant than personal or demographic characteristics. The case study contributes to current thinking about the professional role of college senior managers in creating a student-centred institutional culture that responds to the complexity of the students’ experience. A case is made for a review of the current inequity of financial support for full-time and part-time higher education students and of the marginal status of colleges in the development of higher education policy.
