心理图式理论在大学英语听力教学中的应用

依据图式理论,“听力理解”是一个集各种语言知识、社会文化背景知识和听者生活经验为一体的复杂的信息加工过程,是一个积极主动的过程。听者只有有效利用其已有的知识才能提高对新信息的理解。大学英语听力教学,不简单是放音一听音一对答案,学生也不是消极被动的接受者。在大学英语听力教学中应用图式理论可以使学生由被动的听转变为积极主动的思考,在大脑中已存的背景知识和输入的信息量相互作用的基础上．达到良好的听力理解效果。     

Effects of bicultural competence and racial identity on intrinsic motivation: The mediating role of belonging to Native American tribal colleges

Since the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, Native Americans (NA) have experienced historical trauma (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). However, sources of socio-cultural resilience continue to exist within this population (Kirmayer et al., 2011). Rather than pathologize NAs, we attempt to better understand the implications of their sources of socio-cultural resilience. We sought to examine how bicultural competence and racial identity affect intrinsic motivation and how these relationships are mediated by a sense of belonging. Self-reported data for this study was gathered from a sample of NAs (N = 219) attending a tribal college. Results suggest that bicultural competence and the racial identity dimensions of racial centrality and private regard are related to intrinsic motivation, and these relationships are mediated by a sense of belonging. These findings suggest that tribal colleges are a likely source of socio-cultural resilience, facilitating success for NAs in an ever-changing world.
