摘　　要：高辍学率是远程教育当前面临的一个严峻问题。为了挖掘辍学背后的深层次原因,找到降低辍学率的有效措施,本研究对上海电视大学2010年春季入学的英语专业本科生进行了长达三学期的追踪调查。本文是第三学期追踪调查的研究成果,分析和归纳了该学期3名学生辍学的原因。研究数据通过问卷调查和访谈获得,并依据"远程教育辍学归因框架"对其进行了分析。研究发现,英语基础差、缺乏行之有效的学习方法是导致学生辍学的最根本原因;学校教学支持服务不到位、学生自身专业选择的盲目性等是导致学生辍学的重要原因;由此,使学生产生了对英语学习的畏惧心理,这是导致学生辍学的深层次原因。High dropout rate is a serious problem in China＇s distance education.
