大学生英语写作思辨能力研究——以广西大学为例【英文】

摘 要


广西大学近年来要求本科学生必修批判性思维相关课程,可见批判性思维素质正逐渐成为广西大学学生需要具备的素质。在广西大学学生所接受的思辨能力培养背景下,对广西大学英语专业大四学生的思辨能力进行研究、评价和分析。为往后的专家与学者提供有价值的数据与启示,同时,也为同类地方性院校、教师及学生提供有一定意义的实证意义,更有助于培养和提高英语专业学生的批判性思维。本研究选取广西大学英语外国语学院及国际学院英语专业54名学生,通过定性、定量的研究方法以及实地实证调查,运用思辨倾向性问卷工具《加利福利亚思辨倾向性问卷》调查学生的思辨现状,通过写作测试考察学生的思辨技能使用情况及特点。本研究发现广西大学英语专业大四学生总体思辨倾向性不稳定,缺乏思辨倾向性较明显。在英语思辨能力写作方面,本研究发现,广西大学英语专业大四学生在英语写作时,批判性思维使用情况为中等偏下,并且在写作时分析、推理能力欠缺,写作提供的证据较少或者证据不能支撑观点。本研究认为,批判性思维的培养是长期的,短期内批判性思维的培养对于思维方式改变影响并不大。批判性思维对于写作教学尤其重要,如果学生不进行批判性思维,在写作时只能人云亦云,所写的文章必定缺乏新意,论据不足。
