网络多媒体环境下外语学习风格与交互倾向的相关性研究

orrelation Study of Foreign Language Learning Style and Interaction Preference in Web─Based Multimedia Environment

该研究从Reid的感知学习风格角度，按照Moore的交互分类标准，针对网络多媒体教学现状，分析网络多媒体环境下的外语学习者感知学习风格和交互倾向性，旨在对学习风格和交互倾向之间的关系进行探讨和分析。其研究方法采用描述性研究法，定量和定质数据相结合的分析手段，即对定量数据进行描述性的相关关系统计处理，对个人半开放式访谈、参与性观察，以及网络多媒体外语学习周记等定质数据进行归纳法的描写性分析，以求推断提出理论假设。研究结果表明：网络多媒体环境下的工科外语学习者学习风格趋向动觉型和体验型学习风格；交互方式的心理需求明显趋向为师生交互；群体型学习风格与师生交互、生生交互具有显著的正相关关系；体验型学习风格与师生交互具有显著的正相关关系；其它四种学习风格与三种交互类型均不相关。

According to Joy M. Reid’s classification of perceptual learning style and Michael Grapame Moore’s classification of interaction style， the study is conducted to probe into the relationship between foreign language learning style and interaction preference in web─based multimedia environment. At first， the perceptual learning style preference and interaction preference in this environment are explored respectively. The study is descriptive in nature by combining the correlation analysis of quantitative data and the narrative analysis of qualitative data， such as data through half─open interview， participant observation and weekly English learning journal. The results show that these engineering students prefer to tactile and kinesthetic learning styles and learner─instructor interaction preference. Group learning style correlates significantly positively with leaner─instructor interaction and learner─learner interaction. There is also significant positive correlation between kinesthetic learning style and learner─instructor interaction， while the other four learning styles have no correlation with these interaction preferences. In the end， the pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed， as are suggestions for future research.
