摘要合作学习在初中英语试卷讲评课中的应用研究硕士研究生:XXX指导教师:XXX摘要:试卷讲评属于初中英语教学的重要课型之一,但在平时的教学活动中,试卷讲评课“高耗时,低效能”现象却普遍存在。试卷讲评课是帮助学生查漏补缺,归纳复习旧知,培养学生综合运用能力的重要课型,此外也是教师了解学生,改进教法,及时调整教学策略,提高教学效率的重要环节。因此上好试卷讲评课显得尤为重要。2011年新课改中明确指出了教育的目的是:一切为了学生,为了学生的一切。明确了学生是学习的主体,因此,作者意识到在试卷讲评课中,调动学生的积极性认真参与课堂,充分发挥学生的主体作用提高教学效果是解决这一问题的突破点。本文作者通过梳理了试卷讲评课在国内的研究发现,几乎所有研究者都认识到了学生在学习中的主体作用,开始有意识使部分优等生参与到课堂中来。但如何调动更多的学生参与到课堂中来,却很少被提到。合作学生也被证明在很多科目中是一个受欢迎的,有效的教学方法。如何实现合作学习与试卷讲评课的有机结合,相关的研究和具体的措施还很欠缺,因此在这篇论文中,作者尝试在试卷讲评课中应用合作学习,本论文从过程教学法引入,并从认知发展理论,动机理论和认知精致理论三个方面阐述了理论对合作学学习在初中英语试卷讲评课中的指导意义,梳理了合作学习在教学中的应用研究,阐述了合作学习的五大基本要素:正相互依赖、个人责任、社交技能、小组自评、混合编组,同时也梳理了试卷讲评课在国内的研究,阐述了有效的试卷讲评课的要素及其在英语教学中的重要性。作者采用了问卷调查法,课堂观察法,利用“某某中学八年级学生关于试卷讲评课的问卷调查”、“某某中学八年级实验班实施合作学习后的问卷调查”,同时教师访谈法并通过实验班学生受训前后的成绩进行比较分析。结果显示:1)I 四川师范大学硕士学位论文通过在试卷讲评课中施行合作学习,86.66%的学生更爱学习英语,93.11%的同学认为他们在在课堂上的问题得到了有效解决。2)试验后,实验组班级平均分提高了6.42%,达到了显著水平(P=0.002)而对照组班级平均分仅提高了0.74%,没有达到显著水平(P=0.386).此外在实验组中,原前测平均分大于等于90分的这部分同学,试验后他们的平均分减少了5.69%;平均分为80-90的提高了5.69%,70—80的提高了15.87%,60-70的提高了20.05%,不足60的提高了41.57%。总之,除了少数90分以上的同学,其余同学的成绩都得到了提高,其中80分以下的同学成绩提高最多。由以上结果得出结论:在某某中学实施合作学习的英语试卷讲评课是切实有效可行的,明确的小组成员分工有利于调动学生积极性促进合作学习,合作学习能搞提高学生学习英语的兴趣。从长远来看,应用合作学习在试卷讲评课中是形成良好的语言学习环境的一个重要因素。因此,合作学习值得在试卷讲评课中广泛的应用。关键词:试卷讲评课合作学习明确的责任划分II
