利用形成性评价培养学习者自主性的可行性研究

形成性评价是课堂教学中师生互动最频繁的一种评价形式,也是培养学生最终成为具有自我评价能力的一种评价方式。结合一个为期10周的实验,试图证明形成性评价可用于培养非英语专业的学生在大学英语学习中的学习者自主性。实验结果表明,形成性评价方法可以在培养学生的自主学习意识、选择学习任务和学习策略,提高学生自主学习的信心,以及对学习成果进行自我评价等等方面都有所帮助。

The Feasibility of Implementing Formative Assessment to Facilitate Learner Autonomy

The traditional teaching and learning models make it difficult for the college non-English major students to acquire the autonomous learning habits by themselves.There is an argument that teachers and in-class teaching still plays an important role.In addition,formative assessment is one aiming at cultivating student's self-evaluation ability and involving much interaction between teachers and students.Therefore,an experiment is designed to illustrate the feasibility of implementing formative assessment to facilitate the cultivation of students' autonomous leaning habits.The findings show it can at least contribute to the development of students' awareness of autonomous learning,student's selection of learning tasks and learning strategies,the building up of students' confidence in learning,and the self-evaluation of their own learning.
