ABSTRACT

Drawing from research on revision competence and revision didactics, and based on the proposal of a multi-component revision competence model, a short-term revision course was offered in 2015 as part of a Specialized Translation module. During the course, students were also involved in an experimental study whose overall aim was to investigate the students’ attitude towards revision and their background skills as well as the progress in the acquisition of single revision sub-competences. A second, specific objective was to test the validity and efficacy of the contents and methods chosen and to monitor the effects of such training on revision competence acquisition. A third objective was to collect data on the relationship between different revision procedures and modalities and their outcomes. Finally, the study also aimed at collecting first-hand data on the students’ satisfaction with the course in order to better address their future training needs. This paper will illustrate the rationale behind the revision course, the design and realisation of the study, the data obtained from the revision assignment and the end-of-study questionnaire, also providing insights and practical suggestions on what kind of revision-specific education and training activities can be best devised and offered to translation and revision students.

摘要

基于对修订能力和修订教学方法的研究，并基于多成分修订能力模型的建议，2015年提供了短期修订课程，作为专业翻译模块的一部分。在课程中，学生还参与了一项实验研究，其总体目标是调查学生对修订的态度，他们的背景技能以及获得单个修订子能力的进度。第二个具体目标是测试所选内容和方法的有效性和有效性，并监测此类培训对修订能力获取的影响。第三个目标是收集有关不同修订程序和方式及其结果之间关系的数据。最后，该研究还旨在收集有关学生对课程满意度的第一手数据，以便更好地满足他们未来的培训需求。本文将说明修订课程的基本原理，研究的设计和实现，从修订作业中获得的数据以及研究结束调查表，还提供了针对哪种修订特定教育和实践的见解和实践建议。可以最好地设计培训活动，并将其提供给翻译和修订学生。
