摘要
本研究旨在调查学生对课堂活动的看法及他们学习英语科目的动机水平。本研究亦检视课堂活动与学生动机的关系。采用问卷调查的方法,对柬埔寨一所公立中学的120名高年级学生进行问卷调查。采用SPSS 16.0 (Social Science Version 16.0)进行分析。描述性统计和梨积矩相关分析。结果表明,英语教师在教学中经常使用“机械论”和“语言专用论”。学生动机方面的结果表明,学生在“自信”和“语言”动机方面的动机水平较高,在“课堂”动机方面的动机水平最低。结果还显示,“乐趣”与“自信”和“上课动机”呈正相关。相反,“机制”与“班级动机”呈负相关。因此,该研究认为,教师较少使用可以提高学生动机的“有趣”活动。相比之下,“老师们通常练习机械”活动,这可能会降低学生的积极性。从这个意义上说,研究建议教师最大化“乐趣”活动,最小化“机制”活动。然而,由于课堂活动与学生动机之间的相关性较弱,因此学生动机的水平并不主要由课堂活动来决定。因此,对提高学生动机水平的其他因素的审查可能是未来研究的一个主题。
Classroom Activities and Student Motivation in Learning an English Subject: A Case Study at a Public Secondary School in Cambodia
This study sought to investigate students’ perceptions of classroom activities and their motivation levels in learning an English subject. The study also examined the affiliation between classroom activities and student motivation. The survey questionnaires were employed to collect the data from 120 upper secondary graders studying at a public secondary school in Cambodia. Social Science Version 16.0 (SPSS 16.0) was utilized to analyze. Descriptive statistics and Pear Product Moment Correlation were performed. The results revealed that EFL teachers frequently employed ‘Mechanics’ and ‘Exclusive Use of Language’ in their teaching. The results apropos of student motivation indicated that students had a higher level of motivation in ‘Confidence’, and ‘Motivation about Language’ and the lowest level in ‘Motivation about Class’. The result also revealed that ‘Fun’ positively correlates with ‘Confidence’ and ‘Motivation about Class’. Conversely, ‘Mechanics’ is negatively correlated with ‘Motivation about Class’. Therefore, the study argued that the teachers less frequently employed ‘Fun’ activities that could boost student motivation. In contrast, ‘The teachers commonly practiced mechanics’ activities that could decrease student motivation. In this sense, the study suggested that teachers maximize ‘Fun’ activities and minimize ‘Mechanics’ activities. However, because of the weak and moderate correlation between classroom activities and students’ motivation, the level of student motivation was not mostly determined by classroom activities. Thus, scrutiny of other factors enhancing the level of student motivation could be a topic for future study.
