中美大学生课外阅读习惯比较研究

本论文通过以中国计量学院和美国Temple University的本科生为例，对他们的阅读状况进行研究，试图调查和对比中美学生的课外阅读习惯。本研究主要调查两国大学本科生是否进行课外阅读、如何进行课外阅读，两国学生间的差异以及中国学生可以向美国学生学习和借鉴的地方。另外，本论文试图寻找出中国大学本科生在课外阅读中遇到的论题的原因，并作简要分析，最后提出相应意见，以提高中国大学本科生的课外阅读习惯。研究问题如下：
1. 每天花多少时间进行课外阅读？
2. 每年大约读多少本课外读物？
3. 每年的课外阅读花费是多少？
4. 课外阅读的主要目的是什么？
5. 借助哪种媒介、运用何种策略进行课外阅读？
6. 课外阅读中遇到过哪些问题或障碍？
本研究主要运用参考文献、问卷调查、采访和数据分析的科学研究方法。中国计量学院280为学生以及Temple University的280位学生参与了问卷调查。8位中国计量学院的老师参与了采访调查基于问卷调查和采访获得数据的分析，得出的结论是美国大学生比中国大学生进行的课外阅读活动更多；两个大学生对阅读题材的偏好和阅读目的各有不同；在课外阅读过程中遇到了诸如缺少闲暇时间、缺乏阅读环境、对阅读不感兴趣等问题及障碍。总体而言，美国大学生的阅读习惯比中国大学生略好。根据研究中的发现，向中国的大学教师及学生提出了一些建议，用于提高和培养大学生的阅读习惯。

On Comparison of Undergraduates’ Extra-Curriculum Reading Habits in Chinese and American Universities
Abstract：The paper makes an attempt to investigate and compare the extra-curriculum reading habits of undergraduates in China and in the United States, taking the situation of students in China Jiliang University and in Temple University as an example. The surveys are mainly on what undergraduates do and how they do during extra-curriculum reading, what’s the difference between them and what the Chinese students can learn from the American students. What’s more, the paper tries to seek out problems and the corresponding causes that the Chinese students are faced in extra-curriculum reading, and discusses the problems and provides some suggestions after the analysis. The major questions for the undergraduates are follows:
1. How much time do they spend on extra-curriculum reading a day?
2. How many extra-curriculum-book reading can they finish in a year?
3. How much does reading cost them in a year?
4. What is the purpose of their extra-curriculum reading?
5. How do they read in extra-curriculum reading?
6. What problems do they have during reading?
7. What are the reading skills they usually apply?
The research is conducted by applying the researching methods of documentary analysis, questionnaire, interviews and data analysis. A questionnaire and interviews as the main researching methods have been done with 280 students and 8 teachers in China Jiliang University and 280 students in Temple University. The results of the research are generally within the expectation due to a pre-collecting of the extra-curriculum reading situations of the two sides. In summary, the similarities and the differences of the reading habits between the Chinese students and the American students have been explored. Based on analyzing the data and information collected from the questionnaire and interviews, the American students read more out of class than the Chinese students. The preference of reading materials and reading purpose are different between them. They meet problems such as lacking leisure time for reading, lacking reading atmosphere and not interested in reading. In general, the extra-curriculum reading habits of the American students are better than that of the Chinese ones. According to the findings, some suggestions are made for the teachers and the students in universities in China to improve and cultivate their reading habits.

Key words: extra-curriculum reading; reading habit; undergraduate
