15、1Chapter 1IntroductionThis chapter contains the significance of learning English, the importance of studying the motivation factors and the relevance in genders and grade to English learning. Beside this, it certainly includes the design of the layout of this paper.1. 1 Purposes and Significance of

16、This StudyWith the increment of international education, English has been one of the compulsory subjects in China for decades. Due to the importance of the English study, there are many investigations on its demotivation and motivation among the college students. However, the study of industrial maj

17、ors motivation of English study is still in the minority. Under the guidance of the psychological theories, this study concerning motivation of industrial majors English learning comes into existence.First and foremost, what is the relevance of English learning motivation for students in different g

18、rades in the industry?Different grades of students play an important role of learning motivation. Students of different grades have different needs for English learning. Certain specific needs will greatly affect students learning as a result for the promotion of independent learning comes into exis

19、tence. Predicting or planning for certain demand can facilitate studying and teaching. More significantly, what is the relevance of English learning motivation for students of different genders in the industral department? Gender is one of the important factors which affects students learning. Gende

20、r distribution is concerned in teaching, with reference to different learning habits and behaviors among boys and girls. It is highly-necessary for lectures arrangement to separate education. To draw up a method to fit perfectly with what students need which can motivate them and lay a better founda

21、tion for further study.English teaching is an interactive activity among students and teachers. Teachers are not only required to give full play to students initiative, but its essential to initiative their stimulation. That is the best way to improve students independent learning capability. System

22、atic investigation of motivation in English learning on students of industrial major is the beacon in the dark which brings us a better understanding of the students and different factors which affect their study. The statistics of the study would show out the dominant motivating factors influencing

23、 industrial students and provide corresponding strategies that can be taken in practice.1.2 Layout of This ThesisWith referred of the former study, this paper investigates the English study motivation of industrial majors students which is concluded of four chapters.Chapter 1 is the introduction, wh

24、ich indicates the research objective, significance and introduces this study.Chapter 2 is concerned with the design of the research, containing with 20 questions which are divided into 7 types of the motivative factors based on Gao Yihong and other scholars study.Chapter 3 is the main body of this p

25、aper. The results and analysis of the questionnaire are embraced.Chapter 4 is the discussion of the research, to summary the data and give out the suggestions for further study.Chapter 5 is the conclusion of the paper. Chapter 2Design of QuestionnaireThis chapter starts with the research methods and

26、 questionnaire containing 20 questions to find out the motivative factor in English learning of students from industrial department. The reliability measured by Cronbachs alpha and SPSS for the relative collection. According to the anylsis of Gao Yihong and other scholars, the quesitones mentioned i

27、n the questionnaire have divided into 7 different types of motivation factors.2.1 Theoretical and Practical Basis of the DesignThis study is managed to investigate motivation and motivating factor of industrial majors student from Guangdong polytechnic college in English studying. Compared with othe

28、r non-English majors student, industrial majors students English foundation is relatively weak. Exploring the motivation and motivating factors may help the teachers and the students to find a better way of teaching and learning English.This study attempt to answer this following question:1) What is

29、 the relevance of learning motivation for students in different grades in the industry?2) What is the relevance of learning motivation for students of different genders in the industryThe questions in this questionnaire have divided into 7 different types of motivation factors. According to the stud

30、y which contained 30 questions and designed abased on Likert scale is compiled by Gao Yihong and other scholars. The contents of their questionnaire include only the related contents of motivation types. By the means of factor analysis and multivariate variance analysis with IBM SPSS Staristic-21 so

31、ftware, 7 types of learning motivation are given by exploring the types of motivation and comparing it with induction. There are “Intrinsic interest , Learning Situation , Academic Record, Studying Abroad, Social Responsibility, Personal Development, Information Media. This study based on Likert sca

32、le the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research. Likert distinguished between a scale proper, which emerges from collective responses to a set of items, and the format in which responses are scored along a range. When responding to a Likert item, respondents specify their le

33、vel of agreement or disagreement on a symmetric agree-disagree scale for a series of statements. Thus, the range captures the intensity of their feelings for a given item. The format of a typical five-level Likert item, for example, could be: Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree,

34、Agree.Strongly agree. A scale can be created as the simple sum or average of questionnaire responses over the set of individual items (questions).With the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 21 the data of the questionnaire has been analyzed . Its a combined software package that combines data entry, organi

35、zation and analysis. Users can select modules according to actual needs and functions of the computer to reduce the requirements on the capacity of the system hard disk, which is conducive to the promotion and application of the software. The basic functions of SPSS include data management, statisti

36、cal analysis, analysis of chart, output management and more. 2.2 Implement of the InvestigationThe methods of random sampling was carried out in the survey for 85 students majoring in industry from Guangdong Polytechnic College by questionnaire 20 are females and 65 are males, involving 4 difference

37、s grades and each grade contained different numbers of students. The statistics are shown in following table 1.Table 1 Descriptive Statistics for Investigation CandidatesGradesFemalesMalesTotalFreshmen41115Sophomore347Junior5712Senior84351“Industrial Major Student English Learning Motivation Scale”i

38、s mainly taken into considered in this investigation. Part one of the form learning the basic information about the student involves different genders and grades.Part two concerns variable quantity of learning motivation which has 20 variability. In order to make sure the reliability of the investig

39、ation, the results from 85 students who have accomplished the questionnaire were computerized. With the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 21 we have mentioned before, an accurate statistic occurred and shown in the following table 2.The Cronbach s alpha is a statistic that most commonly used to measure of

40、 reliability especially in questionnaire. It is the average of the half-fold reliability efficient which obtained for all possible project partitioning methods of the scale. A commonly accepted rule for describing internal consistency using Cronbachs alpha is as follows, though a greater number of i

41、tems in the test can artificially inflate the value of alpha13 and a sample with a narrow range can deflate it, so this rule should be used with caution.Cronbachs alphaTable 2 Cronbachs alphaCronbachs alphaInternal consistencyCronbachs alphaInternal consistency0.9 Excellent0.6 0.7Questionable0.8 0.9

42、Good0.5 0.6Poor0.7 0.8Acceptable 0.5UnacceptableAs the table presented above, the reliability measured by Cronbachs alpha for the questionnaire (20 items ) is 0.916 which means Excellent in the measurement. So the statistic of the questionnaire has high reliability. Therefore the subsequent statisti

43、c is valid, we can have the following analysis in table 3.Table 3 Global Reliability of the QuestionnaireCronbachs AlphaStandardized Cronbachs AlphaNumber of Items.917.91622The KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) test statistic is an indicator used to compare simple correlation coefficients and partial correla

44、tion coefficients between variables. Mainly used for factor analysis of multivariate statistics. The KMO statistic is between 0 and 1. The closer the KMO value is to 1, it means that the stronger the correlation between variables, the more suitable the original variable is for factor analysis; when

45、the sum of squares of simple correlation coefficients between all variables is close to 0, the closer the KMO value is to 0, it means the variable The weaker the correlation, the more uncomfortable the original variables are.As table 4 demonstrated, the KMO value is at 0.883 and the Bartletts Test o

46、f Sphericity is significant (P=0.000 0.01), which means the factor analysis is desirable and also valid.Table 4 KMO and Barletts Test of the QuestionnaireKaiser-Meyer-Olin Measure of Sample Adequacy .883Bartletts Test of SphericityApprox.
