Teachers’ readiness for promoting learner autonomy: A study of Japanese EFL high school teachers

The present study aims to investigate teachers’ readiness for promoting learner autonomy. It attempts to do so by exploring the perceived importance of and the use of strategies for promoting learner autonomy among Japanese high school teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL). The paper reports on the research findings from two studies, one quantitative using a closed questionnaire, and the other qualitative using a focus group interview. Results show that many Japanese EFL high school teachers, while displaying different dimensions of autonomy in different ways, are not fully ready to promote autonomy in their learners.

我国公立高等学校法人制度的问题及其改革

高等学校法人制度以高等学校的基本组织属性为价值基础,应当是一项契合高等学校自主性和公共性的法律制度,其内部价值冲突的整合模式包括自主性本位、公共性本位以及自主性和公共性冲突整合三种。我国高等学校法人制度在价值基础方面选择了自主性本位整合模式,并呈现出市场自主性的偏向。其问题表现为:缺乏高等学校自主运转的必要保障机制安排,导致保障高等学校自主性的制度目标未能达成;忽视高等学校的公共机构身份,导致高等学校公共性危机的产生。对其进行改革的应然选择是建立第三部门视野下的高等学校法人制度。

Understanding and supporting the motivation of students from low-income families

Motivational development in low-income adolescents has been insufficiently studied, due to the difficulties involved in accessing the target population. Nevertheless, previous research suggests that some specific developmental patterns might be particular to this group. On the basis of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and using latent growth modeling (LGM), we investigated the trajectories of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in low-income students during adolescence, and we identified the role of parents, teachers, and classmates in determining these trajectories. The participants were 228 adolescents (M_age = 12.8; SD_age = 1.74; 43.4% girls; 17.1% immigrants) officially certified by the Italian government as being below the poverty threshold. Data was collected by means of a four-wave research design over a period of two years.Our findings revealed a significant drop in levels of identified regulation over time, while all other forms of motivation, including intrinsic motivation, remained stable during the period considered. Low-income students therefore appear to experience a specific form of motivational decline during adolescence, so that they perceive studying as being less and less meaningful in relation to their goals, values and identities. This decline is even more pronounced for second-generation and male low-income adolescents.However, parents and teachers were significant predictors of identified regulation at each point in time, suggesting that their support for autonomy fosters identified regulation throughout adolescence. As regards the role of classmates, peer acceptance appears to support identified regulation, while having many friendships seems to have a negative impact on this kind of motivation.
