本文以美国心理学家科文顿的自我价值理论为框架,通过调查问卷来区分非英语专业学生中的三种动机机制所各占的比重。调查结果显示:非英语专业学生中持这这三种动机机制的同学中,掌握取向型学生和失败回避型学生都比较多,失败接受型学生较少。这也说明很多情况下,看似没有动机的学生实际上有着很强的学习动机,对此,积极的引导显得更为重要。 This article, based on the self-worth theory of American psychologist Covington, uses the questionnaire to distinguish the proportion of the three motivational mechanisms among non-English majors. The survey results show that among the non-English majors who hold these three motivational mechanisms, there are more masters of orientation-oriented students and failure-avoidance-oriented students, and fewer failed-acceptance students. This also shows that in many cases, seemingly motivated students actually have a strong motivation to learn, and positive guidance is even more important.
