Research on the reasons and countermeasures of the decline of English learners' learning motivation in open university
开放大学英语学习者学习动机衰减原因及对策研究

摘要

在开放教育中，英语学习者动机衰减是影响其学业进度和质量的主要因素。研究认为，由于开放大学英语学习者多为在职者，此类人群受时间和精力有限影响，在学校过程中容易受自我效能感降低、在线学习归属感弱、外部监管缺失及多重角色压力等影响出现学习动机衰减问题。基于此，文章提出构建阶梯任务体系、打造在线学习社群、设计智能督学机制以及推行弹性学习方案等对策。希望研究能够为远程开放大学英语教学模式优化提供参考。

Abstract

In open education, the decline of English learners' motivation is the main factor affecting their academic progress and quality. The study found that, because most of the open university English learners are working people, such people are affected by limited time and energy, and are vulnerable to the decline of learning motivation in the process of school, such as reduced self-efficacy, weak online learning sense of belonging, lack of external supervision and multiple role pressure. Based on this, this paper puts forward some countermeasures, such as building a ladder task system, building an online learning community, designing an intelligent supervision mechanism, and implementing flexible learning programs. It is hoped that the research can provide reference for the optimization of English teaching mode in distance open universities.
