摘要
本文以维客支持的协作写作模式为研究点,具体探索
(1)维客支持的协作写作模式
是否比个体纸笔写作更加有效地促进非英语专业学生提高英语写作能力,
(2)非英语专
业学生在这一写作模式下是如何表现的,以及(3)学生和教师在协作写作过程中的角色
变化。
在建构主义理论、协作学习理论以及维客技术的支持下,作者尝试创建了维客辅助
的大学英语协作写作平台,意在用实证研究的方法验证维客辅助的协作写作是否比传统
的个体式纸笔写作更能促进非英语专业学生写作能力提高。
85名实验对象来自顺德职院计算机系一年级1班和2班的学生。
其中,1班42人,2班
43人。
实验在第二学期进行,为期12周。
1班作为实验班,在维客技术辅助下协作写作;
2班作为控制班,接受传统的个体写作教学。
该实验分为定量研究和定性研究两个部分。
定量研究部分是对实验组和控制组的同学进行写作测试和对实验组的同学进行两次问
卷调查。
定性研究部分是对实验组部分同学进行访谈。
研究结果发现,维客辅助的协作写作教学模式对非英语专业学生的写作有明显的促
进作用;非英语专业学生对这一教学模式也持积极的态度。
由此可见,维客支持的协作
写作模式在大学英语教学中具有有效性。
同时发现,与传统的个体纸笔写作模式相比,
学生的写作活动和教师的角色在维客辅助的协作写作模式下更加多样化。
实验具有一定的理论和实践意义。
在理论上,探讨了维客辅助的大学英语协作写作
模式的可行性、教师在这一模式中的作用、以及学生的态度和角色的改变,从而促进了
大学英语协作写作的发展;在实践上,为协作写作教学平台的建立提供依据,加强了学
生之间的合作意识,为进一步研究提供一些参考。
