近日，國(guó)際商務(wù)外語(yǔ)學(xué)院蔡雨陽(yáng)教授與上海外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)國(guó)際教育學(xué)院陳慧麟博士合作論文The Fluctuating Effect of Thinking on Language Performance: New Evidence for the Island Ridge Curve 在國(guó)際語(yǔ)言測(cè)評(píng)權(quán)威期刊Language Assessment Quarterly（SSCI 二區(qū)） 在線發(fā)表。
成果簡(jiǎn)介：論文通過(guò)大樣本數(shù)據(jù)驗(yàn)證了島脊曲線理論在探索評(píng)判思維同語(yǔ)言水平關(guān)系方面的適用性。評(píng)判思維可理解為人們對(duì)語(yǔ)言的形式和內(nèi)容進(jìn)行分析、整合、歸納、演繹，并結(jié)合已有世界知識(shí)對(duì)語(yǔ)言認(rèn)知對(duì)象進(jìn)行合理解釋的高階思維能力。長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)人們一直認(rèn)為，評(píng)判思維能力與語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)之間存在著一種線性關(guān)系：即評(píng)判思維能力越強(qiáng)，則對(duì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的貢獻(xiàn)也會(huì)越大。文章通過(guò)對(duì)2285名英語(yǔ)專業(yè)學(xué)生的全國(guó)高等學(xué)校英語(yǔ)專業(yè)四級(jí)考試（ TEM-4）的考試數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行認(rèn)知診斷模型和多組路徑模型分析，對(duì)比了五種評(píng)判思維技能在低、中、高三組英語(yǔ)水平考生中對(duì)英語(yǔ)考試成績(jī)的貢獻(xiàn)，發(fā)現(xiàn)思維對(duì)語(yǔ)言水平的貢獻(xiàn)不是傳統(tǒng)上認(rèn)為的線性關(guān)系，而是隨著英語(yǔ)水平由低到高的變化呈現(xiàn)小-大-小的方式波動(dòng)，再次驗(yàn)證了島脊曲線理論在闡述思維與語(yǔ)言水平關(guān)系方面的有效性。該研究成果有助于更準(zhǔn)確有效地解釋語(yǔ)言測(cè)評(píng)結(jié)果，有助于語(yǔ)言教學(xué)者針對(duì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)者的個(gè)性化需求進(jìn)行因材施教。
“島脊曲線理論”（Island Ridge Curve，簡(jiǎn)稱IRC）是蔡雨陽(yáng)教授基于中國(guó)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)者的學(xué)習(xí)表現(xiàn)提出的原創(chuàng)性教育心理學(xué)理論，現(xiàn)正逐步拓展到教育心理學(xué)研究領(lǐng)域。因其對(duì)語(yǔ)言能力和其它人類智力發(fā)展的復(fù)雜過(guò)程具有較強(qiáng)的解釋力，短短兩年就引起了國(guó)際教育界的關(guān)注。今年4月，蔡教授接到國(guó)際頂級(jí)教育學(xué)術(shù)組織美國(guó)教育學(xué)會(huì)（AERA）邀請(qǐng)，在其旗下的學(xué)術(shù)簡(jiǎn)報(bào) SSRL SIG Newsletter撰文介紹其原創(chuàng)的“島脊曲線理論”，作為2022 年春季刊的焦點(diǎn)研究向全球自主學(xué)習(xí)研究領(lǐng)域重點(diǎn)推介。
該論文是蔡教授圍繞這一主題發(fā)表的第6篇論文，此前蔡教授已和國(guó)內(nèi)外多位學(xué)者合作發(fā)表權(quán)威期刊論文4篇、章節(jié)論文1篇，出版英文學(xué)術(shù)專著1部，另有3篇相關(guān)論文正在審稿之中。該論文也是蔡雨陽(yáng)教授2019年入職我校以來(lái)的第20篇SSCI期刊論文。
