Abstract

本研究採取行動研究的方法，探討以文本討論方式提昇國中學生學業希望感之可能性。研究者以英文文本為媒介，希望感理論之目標、方法及意志力三要素與情意教育了解自己和與他人維持良好關係兩大內容為課程設計內涵，透過轉化文本中的背景和內容情境，使其貼近學生生活經驗，並在研究者的導師班彈性英語課堂上進行文本討論，以達到解決學生在讀書目標、讀書方法級讀書意志力等學業問題為主要目標。此外，在文本討論課程後，亦試圖了解英文本可以發展出哪些與學生生活經驗相關聯的情意議題，以及學生對於文本討論課融入英文科的態度，以做為後續研究之參考。 為達研究目的，本研究所蒐集的資料包括：學生的日記、學習單、作文、課後意見調查表，以及研究者本身的教學省思、課堂觀察記錄與學生的個別訪談等文件，來檢視學生問題的改變情形及學生對於文本討論融入英語科的態度。 經過七個多月共二十個單元的文本討論課程後顯示： 一、二十個單元可以歸納為五大議題：挫折的因應、了解自己、與他人維持良好的關係、問題解決的方式、學習的意志力。 二、學生在讀書目標、讀書方法、讀書意志力等學業問題已有改善的情形，但需 要再持續給予關注。 三、學生最感興趣的是與其切身相關的挫折感和意志力議題，最不喜歡的是關於競爭的議題。 四、學生對於融入式的文本討論課程普遍持肯定且樂於接受的態度。 根據上述研究結果，研究者亦提出相關建議，以做為未來在文本討論課程上的設計及教學參考。
