This study attempts to investigate the perceptions of the Korean and native English speaking instructors teaching English in Korean universities toward the importance of motivational strategies and how far their students feel motivated when their teachers use these motivational strategies. In total, 78 instructors and 220 university students with two different English proficiency levels participated in this study and responded to questionnaires. Both Korean and native English speaking instructors' perceptions toward the importance of motivational strategies have a similar pattern. In the responses of both groups, the top three important motivational strategies are proper teacher behavior, recognizing students' effort and promoting learners' self-confidence The lowest rank-ordered strategy is promoting learner autonomy. Instructors' perceptions of importance and students' degree of motivational state show a similar pattern and there are no significant differences between the lower and higher level students except the difference in the mean scores.
Purpose: Grounded on Self-Determination Theory(Deci & Ryan, 2000), the aim of this study was to investigate the longitudinal effect of the autonomy-supportive intervention program on student amotivation in the physical education (PE) context. Methods: In the experimentally-based, longitudinal research design, one-hundred twelve students from four classes of two PE teachers were randomly assigned into either the experimental group(n=50) or the control group(n=62). The questionnaires were administered at beginning (Time 1, T1) of and at middle (T2) of the semester. Repeated measure two-way ANOVAs were used to investigate the effects of need-supportive motivating style on student classroom amotivation and academic achievement. Results: As results, students of the teacher in the experimental group showed greater psychological need satisfaction and less PE-specific amotivation-low ability, low effort, unappealing task characteristics, low value, and problematic relationship than did students of the teacher in the control group. Conclusion: These findings showed autonomy-supportive intervention program to prevent students from being amotivated in PE was effective for the teacher to reduce students’ PE-specific amotivation because the teacher could successfully identify, nurture, and develop students’ psychological needs in an autonomy-supportive way.
한류열풍으로 인해 한국으로 유학 온 중국인 학생 수가 대폭 증가하였다. 그러나 이들은 대부분 20대 초반으로 자신을 스스로 관리하는 능력이 부족하다. 게다가 하루에 4시간만 수업을 받기 때문에 교사는 학습자가 여가시간에 효율적으로 한국어학습을 할 수 있도록 학습자들의 자율학습능력을 키워 주어야 한다. 학습자의 자율학습능력을 키우기 위해 고려해야 하는 요소가 많지만 그 중에서도 동기요소가 자율학습능력에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중국인 한국어 학습자의 동기조절 전략이 자율학습능력에 대해 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 동기조절 전략의 하위 전략별로 자율학습능력과의 상관관계를 다중회귀 분석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과 동기조절전략에 속하는 8가지 하위 전략은 모두 자율학습능력에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만 그 중에서도 흥미제고전략이 자율학습능력에 미치는 영향이 가장 크고 의지조절전략과 표현목표환기전략의 영향이 가장 미약하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 한국어교사는 수업시간에 학습자가 흥미제고전략을 많이 사용할 수 있도록 유도하는 것이 바람직하다고 할 수 있다.
