摘　　要：远程教育的特点是师生间时空分离,要克服这种分离对学习者的不利影响,就需要远程教育者充分了解学习者学习过程中的认知与动机活动规律。基于问卷调查,探讨远程学习者外语学习能力信念与考试焦虑的关系并检验成就目标在其中的作用。结果显示:能力信念通过成绩-回避目标取向与考试焦虑(担忧和紧张)呈负相关,而且只有掌握-回避目标取向提供了一个从能力信念到担忧的间接路径。具体为:(1)能力信念与掌握-回避、成绩-回避和成绩-趋近目标取向及考试焦虑呈负相关;(2)高能力信念与掌握-趋近目标取向呈正相关;(3)掌握-回避和成绩-回避目标取向中存在显著的中介效应,但中介的效应量较小,因为其它机制也在能力信念与考试焦虑的关系中发挥部分作用。Distance education is characterized by the spatial and temporal separation between teachers and students.In order to overcome such separation,distance education teachers and management should know the regularities of distance learners' cognition and motivation.Three questionnaires were designed on the basis of the previous theories to probe into the relationship between foreign language learning competence beliefs and text anxiety of four hundred distance learners,and examine the role of achievement goals in the study.The results show that competence beliefs were inversely related to the worry and tension components of test anxiety,both directly and indirectly mediated by a performance-avoidance goal orientation,and the mastery-avoidance goal orientation.To be specific,a significant negative relationship was reported between competence beliefs,mastery-avoidance goal,performance-avoidance goal,performance-approach goal and text anxiety goals,whereas a significant positive relationship was shown between higher competence beliefs and mastery-approach.Additionally,the significant mediating effects were found for mastery-avoidance and performance-avoidance goals but relatively small,and there may be other mechanisms to account for the relations between competence beliefs and test anxiety.
