瑞安中学 鲍艳桦 一、 问题的提出 1996年国际21世纪教育委员会在《学习:财富蕴藏其中》提出了教育的四大支柱。即学会认知(Learning to know); 学会做事(Learning to do);学会共同生活(Learning to live together);学会生存(Learning to be)。而今,科技全球化、当代经济全球化和未来人才全球化流动的竞争和合作对学校培养人才提出更高的要求。要适应未来社会,仅仅靠在学校接受的教育已不够受用终身,而终身教育又要求人们能够培养独立于教师和课堂的自主学习能力。 而在笔者一年前所做的英语学习问卷调查(我校高一、高二学生,各两个班共187人)中发现,很多学生对英语学习重视不够,英语自主学习能力普遍较低:46%的学生缺乏学习兴趣,50.8%的学生缺乏学习动机。85.8%的学生如果没有师长的督促,不会主动学习。63.9%的学生几乎没有预习习惯。有75.8%的学生自己不制定学习计划,一切主要由老师安排。46.7%的学生把自己目前英语成绩的不理想归因于学校没有良好的英语学习氛围。50.6%的学生阅读时把握不住要点。67.4%的学生不愿意参与课堂英语交际活动。而90%的学生没有利用过网络阅读、收集有关写作资料,只有2%的学生经常利用现代网络进行学习。 总的看来,大部分学生学习相当被动,缺乏积极的学习动机,没有良好的学习习惯和学习策略。在随后的访谈中笔者了解到,学生感到课本上的内容枯燥乏味,为了应付考试,他们依赖教材,依赖老师,习惯于等老师传道授业解惑,等老师的指令。但又不喜欢“教师讲、学生听;教师写、学生抄”的“填鸭式”、“灌输式”的教学模式,也不喜欢尽是老师一言堂的语言知识讲授课和语法分析课;他们希望得到更多的学习自由,又不知怎么做。 基于以上问题,笔者进行了英语自主学习课堂教学的实践研究,希望能在高中英语课堂上更快更好地培养学生的语言运用能力、唤起学生的主体意识、激起学习需要、调动自身的学习潜能,进行自主学习,使学生真正成为课堂学习的主人。 二、理论依据 我国华东师大庞维国教授认为,自主学习(self-regulated learning)与他主学习相对立,指学生自己主宰自己的学习。它可分三个方面:一是对自己的学习活动事先计划和安排;二是对自己实际学习活动的监察、评价、反馈;三是对自己学习活动进行调节、修正和控制。他还将“自主学习”概括为:建立在自我意识发展基础上的“能学”;建立在学生具有内在学习动机基础上的“想学”;建立在学生掌握了一定的学习策略基础上的“会学”;建立在意志努力基础上的“坚持学”。 当前,国外的自主学习理论有多个派别,如以罗杰斯为代表的人本主义理论认为,必须树立“以学生为中心”的教学和学习思想,教学的目的在于培养“全面发展的人”(fully functioning person);以皮亚杰为代表的认知建构主义理论认为:学习是在原有图式的基础上建构新的认知图式的过程。知识是学习者在一定的情境即社会文化背景下,借助其他人(包括教师和学习伙伴)的帮助,利用必要的学习资料,通过意义建构的方式而获得的。教师是意义建构的帮助者、促进者,而不是知识的传授者与灌输者;学生是信息加工的主体,是意义的主动建构者,而不是外部刺激的被动接受者和被灌输的对象-----这是自主学习课堂的本质特征。 《国家英语课程标准》(实验稿)提出,高中英语的主要任务是学生能发展自主学习和合作学习能力,形成有效的学习策略,培养自身的综合语言运用能力,为他们的终身学习和发展打下良好的基础。 教师在课堂教学过程中应与学生积极互动、共同发展。要处理好传授知识与培养能力的关系,注重培养学生的独立性和自主性,引导学生质疑、调查、探究。在实践中学习,促进学生在教师指导下主动地、富有个性地学习。即使在统一授课式的课堂上,教师也要充分关注学生的个体差异,满足不同学生的学习需要,创设能引导学生主动参与、合作探究、自主学习的课堂环境,并使学习活动能有效地延伸到课外,以激发学习动机和热情,提高学生综合语言运用能力,让每个学生都得到充分的发展。 充分利用信息技术和网络资源,优化教学内容的呈现方式、学生的学习方式、教师的教学方式和师生互动方式。努力寻求信息技术与英语课程的最佳整合点,为学生的学习和发展提供丰富多彩的教育环境。 四、教学实例 本案例的教学内容是新编英语高一(下) Unit 14 Festivals的 Reading部分。这是一篇介绍Kwanzaa(宽札节)的说明文。通过学习Kwanzaa产生的背景、庆祝方式及创办的宗旨,使学生更多地了解西方的节日文化,并领会举办各种节日的真实意义。 【学习目标】 1. 语言知识 (Language knowledge) Be familiar with some world festivals and talk about them; Know something about Kwanzaa, like the background of the festival, the aim of creating such a festival, etc. Words: honour /honor(Am.E), ancestor, principle, nation, purpose, creativity, faith, commercial, joy, light (v.)
