本文旨在探討影響專科學生英文學習專心度之因素。並進而了解學生之性別、年級、科別、及成績，與其專心度之相關性。此外，本文亦探討英語教材、教室氣氛、學習興趣、內在動機、教學法、教師之穿著、教師之性別、教師上課是否點名、教師上課所使用之語言、評分方式、教室是否有佈置英文壁報、學生是否課前預習、課後複習並做隨堂筆記對於其英語學習之專心度的影響。本文的研究對象，取自於台中、嘉義、台南地區，八百五十二名五專與二專學生，共計九個不同科系、十八班學生。問卷調查結果顯示，學生上英文課分心之程度如下：94.7%男生自認有分心現象，含總是分心35.6%，偶而分心59.1% ;女生有91.6%自認會分心，含25.3%總是分心，66.3%偶而分心。同時，統計結果亦顯示：專心度因英文成績、性別、科別而異，但與年級無關。另外，學生的學習興趣、喜不喜歡上英文課、上課的教材、老師的評分方式、教學法、教師的衣著、教師性別、學生有無課前預習、課後複習以及做隨堂筆記皆影響學生專心度極大。影響較其次的是教室氣氛及上課是否點名。至於，教師上課使用的語言、以及教室是否佈置英文相關的壁報，並無顯著影響其專心度。為了激發學生的學習動機，吸引其上英文課的專注力，並達到教學目標，教師應適時改變英語教材及教學法、調節上課氣氛並注意學生之異常行為。更進一步地，探討專心度是否因上列因素之改進而增強是必要的。 |
