摘要思维导图是一种能够通过图形、颜色以及关键词提高人们对知识的理解和概括的可视化的知识表征工具,本研究以高中英语语法知识为切入点,将高中英语语法教学与思维导图工具结合起来,旨在研究思维导图工具辅助的高中英语语法教学模式是否能够提高学生学习英语语法的兴趣以及系统掌握语法知识的能力,从而提供更好的语法教学方法。为了验证思维导图在高中英语语法教学中的有效性,本研究采用实证研究方法,以镇江市丹徒高级中学高一年级两个班94名学生为研究对象,于2017年下半年开展了为期18周的教学实验研究。本实验研究试图回答如下三个问题:(1)思维导图与高中英语语法知识相结合的教学模式能否提高学生语法学习的兴趣产生积极影响?(2)思维导图与高中英语语法知识相结合的教学模式是否能够帮助学生系统地掌握语法知识,提高语法学习的成绩?(3)学生和教师对思维导图与高中英语语法知识相结合的教学模式持何种态度?本次教学实验研究对象为笔者所教的两个平行班5班和11班,随机选取5班为实验班,11班为控制班。实验前,笔者对实验班和控制班的学生进行了一次英语语法水平测试,目的在于了解两个班的语法水平有无显著性差异。测试结果显示两个班学生英语语法水平相当。在具体的实验过程中,笔者在实验班运用思维导图与英语语法知识相结合的教学模式,在控制班采用传统的语法教学方法。在学期末,笔者对本段时间两个班级进行所学语法知识进行后测,将所得数据用SPSS软件进行统计分析。同时,笔者在实验前后分别对教师进行访谈,以了解目前语法教学的现状以及实验后教师对这种教学模式的态度和建议。测试结束后,笔者在实验班发放调查问卷,并用EXCEL表格进行统计和分析。实验结果表明,后测中,实验班学生的语法平均成绩高于控制班,两个班的学习成绩存在显著性差异,这说明,思维导图与英语语法知识相结合的教学模式与常规教学模式相比,更能够提高学生的语法能力。问卷和访谈结果显示,思维导图和语法教学相结合的方法提高了学生语法学习的兴趣,而且教师和学生都非常喜欢这种教学方法。iii 根据本次研究,笔者得到以下启示:第一,在高中英语语法教学中,教师可以运用思维导图来帮助学生掌握系统的语法知识,提高学生的语法能力。第二,在高中英语语法教学中,教师可以运用思维导图的方法提高学生的学习兴趣。第三,在教学中,思维导图的运用改变了教师对语法的教学方式,在教学中既要注重教师的主导地位又要充分发挥学生在学习过程中的主体地位。关键词:思维导图;语法教学;实验研究;高中英语教学iv

"Humanmemoryandthinkingarecarriedoutthrougharadiativenetworksystem.Andthestructuralfeaturesofmindmappingarefullyconsistentwiththisthinkingmechanism."(Guoliping,2013:9).Moreover,itisfoundthattheleftandrighthemispheresofthebrainexhibitasymmetrybothinmorphologyandfunction."Theleftbrainhasexcellentanalyticalfunctions,suchasabstractthinkingandmathematicaloperations.Therightbrainhasanadvantageinimagethinking,spatialperception,thefeelingofmusic,andthecontrolofemotion.(Shenzheng,1999:20-27).Althoughtheleftandrightsidesofthebrainareasymmetrical,theyaremutuallycomplementaryandmutuallyreinforcing."Thetwoareunifiedinrealizingtheoverallfunctionandaccuratebehavioroftheperson"(Huangboqing,2013:30)Forhighschoolstudents,theirabstractlogicalthinkinggraduallybecomesdominantastheygrowolder.Sotheyareoftenabletorelategeneralprinciplesandrulestocertainlogicalrelationships."Buttoalargeextent,itisempiricalandrequiresthesupportofemotionalexperience"(Shendeli,1999:158-173).Andmindmappingisawayofdevelopingthepotential,memoryandimaginationofthebrain,whichcanhelpteachersabstractgrammarteachingbyinspiringtheimagethinkingofhighschoolstudents.Thisgreatlydifferentfromabstractknowledgeandconceptsofpureteaching,sothatteacherscanmaximizetheexcavatethepotentialofjuniormiddleschoolstudentstolearngrammar,whichsignificantlyimprovethelearningefficiencyofseniorhighschoolstudents.2.2.2ConstructivismTheoryConstructivismtheorybelongstothecategoryofcognitivelearningtheory,whichwasestablishedinPiaget"sresearch.Thereisconsistencybetweenmindmappingandconstructivisminmanyaspects,asfollows:①Respectlearners"subjectiveinitiative.Constructivismemphasizesthatcognitiveactivity"takingstudentsasthecenterandstartingfromthecognitivestructureofstudents,students"self-constructedcognitivestructureistheendpoint."(Chengmin,2005)said:"Studentsarenotpassiverecipientsofexternalstimuliorobjectsbeingimplanted."(Hekekang,1997).Mindmappingalsoemphasizesthatlearnersshouldmakefulluseoftheassociationandimagination,anddescribetheidea8
