从生态视角看混合学习应用于网上英语写作

Application of Blended Learning in Online Writing Course: An Ecological Perspective

数字化学习强调以学习为中心受到了人们的关注，然而这种新方法在教学实践中逐渐显示出其存在的弊端，混合学习的理念应运而生。本文引入生态学视角观察混合学习方式应用于网络写作课堂的尝试，并运用生态学原理考察整个网上英语写作生态系统的运作，观察混合学习所起的作用，以期进一步促进混合学习的应用研究和提高网络学习的效率和质量。笔者以第二军医大学参与博士生网上英语写作课程的22名学生为研究对象，将学生前后测的写作水平成绩及调查问卷的数据进行比较和分析。实验结果表明，混合学习方式能够在一定程度上弥补纯网络学习存在的不足，提高学生的学习效率、学习兴趣、写作信心以及英语写作水平。这充分说明混合式学习在网络写作课程中是可行且有效的。

Learning-centered network digital learning had been receiving global attention. However, gradually it was discovered that e-learning was not as effective as thought. The concept of blended learning thus came into being. This paper attempts to introduce a new ecological perspective to the application of blended learning to online writing course. Ecological principles and rules were used to examine and study the whole online writing ecosystem and the mode's effect was observed in order to promote the application of blended learning and improve the efficiency and quality of online learning. Twenty-two PhD students in the online writing course in SMMU were chosen as subjects in this empirical study. The data collected from ELT writing scores and the questionnaires in the pretest and posttest were compared and analyzed with statistical software. The results from the experiment show that blended learning can serve as a solution to the problems existing in fully online instruction. Students' writing proficiency, interest in learning and writing confidence have been improved. This proves that it is feasible and efficient to apply Blended Learning in online writing course.
