学习动机是直接推动学生进行学习的一种内在动力。学习者的动机和态度作为非智力因素对于英语学习起着相当大的作用,在对军校学员英语学习动机深入了解的基础上,提出了激发学员英语学习动机的具体对策。     

高中生成就动机和一般自我效能感及其关系的研究

本文采用《一般自我效能感量表》(GSES)和《成就动机量表》(AMS)对253名高中生进行了测量,以探讨高中生成就动机与一般自我效能感之间的关系。其结果为:1.高中生成就动机性别差异与年级差异均不显著(P>0.05);2.高中生一般自我效能感的性别差异与年级差异也不显著(P>0.05)。     

公安现役院校英语学习环境的调查与思考

学习环境对于语言学习者至关重要,就外部环境和内部环境相互关系而言,外部环境影响人的学习态度和认知过程,内部环境控制外部环境的影响力。这些因素无疑能促进英语学习,但也可能在某种程度上阻碍英语学习的进步。在对几所公安现役部队院校的英语学习环境调查后发现,英语学习环境不容乐观,还有很多急需改进之处,应引起有关方面的重视。

基于解释结构模型的学生学习投入影响因素研究

学生学习投入与学业成果呈显著相关,对促进学生个体发展和提升教育质量起着重要作用。促进学生学习收获呼吁高效的学习投入,如何提学生学习投入水平,已成为教育教学的迫切问题。本文在梳理有关学习投入影响因素文献的基础上,确定出15个影响学生学生学习投入的主要因素,运用解释结构模型方法建立学习投入影响因素解释结构模型。研究发现,自我效能感、学习动机、情感体验、时间管理、成就目标和人际关系是影响学生学习投入的直接因素,教学投入、教学策略、教学能力、学校氛围和学校支持力度是根本因素,教学支持、家庭背景、社会支持和学校幸福感作为间接因素发挥作用。其中学生自身因素是影响学生学习投入的直接因素,环境因素和教师因素对学生学习投入有基础性的影响。据此可以从激发学生学习动机、提高学习投入积极性,改善外部环境、加大联合支持力度,以及加强师资力量建设、提高教师教学能力等方面来提升学生学习投入水平。     

‘A Time of War’: contextual and organisational dimensions in the construction of combat motivation in the IDF

This paper explores the construction of combat motivation in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), arguing that although Israeli society at large is in a ‘Post Heroic’ era, the ‘Heroic Spirit’ is revealed during emergencies. A total of 1535 questionnaires were administered among combat soldiers during large-scale operations fought during national emergency and during small-scale routine operations. The results reveal differences in the construction of combat motivation typical for emergency vs. routine, as well as for reserves vs. regular units. These results indicate that the Post Heroic era is a condition that could be shifted according to cultural, organisational and individual determinants. This paper discusses the roots of these constructions and their implications on the theory of combat motivation and combat experience.

Why they fight? Reconsidering the role of motivation in combat environments

The current combat motivation model based on primary group thesis assumes that the main force behind motivation is peer-bonding or otherwise known as unit cohesion. Cohesion is perceived as an all-encompassing factor that leads to satisfactory (or unsatisfactory in lack thereof) military effectiveness and performance in conflict environments. However, the article identifies three main problems with this perspective: 1. mono-dimensional view of motivation; 2. motivation based on heteronomy, and 3. self-reporting bias. The current model does not consider motivation as a separate entity from cohesion; it does not place motivation as fundamental human value; lastly, it takes motivation as granted by-product of socialization. The article proposes a new combat motivation model based on The Self-Determination Theory. The theory maintains that human motivation requires satisfaction of three psychological needs of competence, relatedness, and autonomy. The degree of satisfaction of those three needs leads to different types of regulated motivations – a continuum from intrinsic to extrinsic – each of which has specifiable consequences for learning, performance, and well-being of an individual.
