This article examines the use of the repertory grid technique as a method to investigate learner perceptions in language education research. An important issue raised in this article concerns how far a researcher’s agenda may be unintentionally imposed onto a research study which is investigating learners’ perceptions, and how far the ensuing data may provide an accurate representation of the learners’ viewpoints. A discussion of conventional research methods in perception research indicates the limitations of many structured research instruments such as questionnaires, surveys and interviews with regard to gaining reliable insights into learners’ views. The article considers the potential of using the repertory grid technique in perception research in terms of minimizing researcher influence and obtaining data that reflects learners’ perceptions. Taking a research study on the perceptions of secondary school learners of the language classroom as an example, the article demonstrates how building repertory grids can reveal insights into the learners’ thought processes and give the researchers access into the different ways learners view the classroom. The article also considers some issues in terms of data analysis and the interpreting of language data. It concludes that the repertory grid technique is a useful approach in perception research which can provide valuable data that is revealing of participants’ actual views.

研究学习者的感知:使用剧目网格技术

本文考察了使用曲目网格技术作为研究语言教育研究中学习者感知的方法。本文提出的一个重要问题是,研究人员的议程可能会在多大程度上被无意地强加到正在调查学习者感知的研究中,以及随后的数据可以在多大程度上准确表达学习者的观点。对感知研究中传统研究方法的讨论表明,许多结构化研究工具(如问卷、调查和访谈)在获得对学习者观点的可靠见解方面存在局限性。文章从最小化研究人员的影响和获取反映学习者感知的数据方面考虑了在感知研究中使用库网格技术的潜力。以一项关于中学学习者对语言课堂的看法的研究为例,本文展示了构建剧目网格如何揭示学习者的思维过程,并让研究人员了解学习者看待课堂的不同方式。文章还考虑了数据分析和语言数据解释方面的一些问题。它得出的结论是,剧目网格技术是感知研究中的一种有用方法,它可以提供揭示参与者实际观点的有价值的数据。这篇文章展示了构建剧目网格如何揭示学习者思维过程的洞察力,并使研究人员能够了解学习者看待课堂的不同方式。文章还考虑了数据分析和语言数据解释方面的一些问题。它的结论是,剧目网格技术是感知研究中的一种有用方法,它可以提供揭示参与者实际观点的有价值的数据。这篇文章展示了构建剧目网格如何揭示学习者思维过程的洞察力,并使研究人员能够了解学习者看待课堂的不同方式。文章还考虑了数据分析和语言数据解释方面的一些问题。它得出的结论是,剧目网格技术是感知研究中的一种有用方法,它可以提供揭示参与者实际观点的有价值的数据。
