A Study on Students' Participation in Chinese Language Courses A Case Study of J.Y University

With the wide spread of the constructivist learning theory, the learner-centered teaching mode has gradually become the mainstream of higher education, and more and more educators have realized the importance of student participation in class. However, there is a lack of empirical research on students' participation in Chinese language courses in local universities. Taking J.Y University as an example, this paper analyzes students' participation in Chinese language classes from four aspects: behavioral participation, emotional participation, cognitive participation and agency participation. The results of quantitative analysis show that the overall participation level of students in Chinese language class is higher, with the highest level of emotional participation and the lowest level of agency participation. Students' major category has a significant impact on students' participation. Arts and sports students have the highest participation and science students have the lowest participation.
