Abstract :

شماری از پژوهشگران، ضمن استناد به تعریف پیشنهادی سوولز[1] (1981) از تحلیل سبک­شناختی، اقدام به شناسایی مشخصات یک نوشتار آکادمیک مرغوب کرده­اند؛ این در حالی­است که تدوین و تألیف یک نوشتار مرغوب برای نویسندگان غیربومی­زبان، امری بسیار دشوار و نگران­کننده تلقی می­شود. از آنجاییکه یک چکیده­ی با کیفیت می­تواند خواننده را ترغیب به ادامه­ی خواندش کند، ما پژوهش حاضر را با هدف شناسایی تفاوت­ها و تمایزات موجود در ساختارهای بلاغی چکیده­های پایان­نامه­های دانشجویان کارشناسی­ارشد رشته آموزش زبان انگلیسی در دانشگاه تهران (UT) و دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد گرگان (IAUG) به تألیف رسانده­ایم. بدین منظور، تعداد 100 چکیده (50 چکیده از پایان­نامه­ی دانشجویان کارشناسی­ارشد دانشگاه تهران و 50 چکیده از پایان­نامه­ی دانشجویان دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد گرگان) را به صورت تصادفی انتخاب کردیم. مدل­های IMRD (1991) (مقدمه، روش­شناسی، نتایج و بحث­تکمیلی[2]) و CARS  (1990) (ساخت یک فضای پژوهشی[3]) که هر دو توسط سوولز طراحی شده­اند، با هدف بازشناسایی ساختار بلاغی و زبانی چکیده­های مذکور مورد استناد قرار گرفته­اند. متعاقباً، بسامد و توالی حرکات و گام­ها را با استفاده از chi-squareمحاسبه کردیم تا تفاوت­ها و تمایزات میان چکیده­ها را شناسایی کنیم. نتایج به دست­آمده نشان دادند که میان چکیده­های پایان­نامه­های دانشجویان این دو دانشگاه، تفاوت­های معنادار وجود داشته­است. برطبق این نتایج، دانشجویان دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد گرگان، از مدل IMRD و CARS بیشتر از دانشجویان دانشگاه تهران استفاده کرده­اند. یافته­های حاصل از این پژوهش، حاوی برخی مضامین آموزشی برای نویسندگان غیربومی و دانشجویان فارغ­التحصیل و همچنین مدرسان و دانشجویانی که به تألیف نوشتارهای آکادمیک انگلیسی­زبان مشغول هستند، می­باشند.
