自我效能感和兴趣是影响学习的两个重要动机因素。一项探索性的研究，旨在探讨透过参与合作学习计划，学生学习英语的自我效能及兴趣的发展。五名英语水平较低的本科生参与了这项探索性研究。收集治疗前后的自我效能感问卷。在完成了12节英语辅导课的教学经验后，这五名本科生被邀请参加一个焦点小组访谈。逐字记录稿经过转录，并采用内容分析法进行分析。确定了三个主题：1。被试在英语学习中的自我效能感来源有所增加。英语学习的自我效能感增强;对学习英语有更大的兴趣。收集了语言自我效能量表的治疗前和治疗后平均得分，结果显示平均得分增加了1.2，95% CI = 0.027至2.13。被试的语言自我效能感得分显著提高（t = 3.57，df = 4，p = 0.02）。合作学习是提高学生学习英语兴趣的有效途径，并能提高学生学习英语的自我效能。
Self-efficacy and interest are two of the essential motivational factors that influence learning. An exploratory study aimed to discover the development of self-efficacy and interest of learning English through participation in a collaborative learning programme had been organised. Five undergraduate students with low proficiency in English participated in this exploratory study. Pre- and post-questionnaire on self-efficacy were collected. After completing 12 English tutoring classes of teaching experience, the five undergraduate students were invited to attend a focus group interview. The verbatim scripts were transcribed and analysed by using content analysis. Three themes have been identified: 1. there were an increase in the sources of self-efficacy to the subjects in learning English, 2. an increase in self-efficacy in the subjects’ English learning, and 3. a greater interest in learning English. Pre- and post- mean scores on the language self-efficacy scale were collected and showed that the mean score was increased by 1.2, 95% CI = 0.027 to 2.13. The subjects’ language self-efficacy scores had increased significantly (t = 3.57, df = 4, p = 0.02). Collaborative learning programme might be an effective approach in enhancing students’ interest in learning English and through the process students could become more self-efficacious in learning English.
