当前,数字阅读已经成为一种时尚的阅读形态,深刻影响大学生的阅读行为,并导致深度阅读的缺失。从元认知投入的理论视角看,深度阅读与元认知投入密切相关,研制基于数字足迹的英语阅读元认知投入量表有助于考察阅读者的深度阅读状况。通过构建量表,并对多所高校大学生的阅读数字足迹进行实证研究,结果发现:当前中国大学生的英语阅读元认知投入不足,个体间差异主要体现在行为投入的时间性和策略性以及思维投入的坚持性与专注性,整体缺乏情感投入,尚未实现深度阅读普遍化。元认知投入量表的研制,对优化数字阅读平台,探索推进英语深度阅读路径具有一定的参考价值。

Currently, digital reading has become a fashionable form of reading, deeply influencing the reading behavior of college students and leading to a scarcity of deep reading. From the perspective of metacognitive engagement theory, deep reading is closely related to metacognitive engagement. Developing a scale of metacognitive engagement in English reading based on digital footprints can help examine the status of deep reading in readers. By constructing the scale and conducting empirical research on the digital footprints of students from multiple universities in English reading, the results show that the metacognitive engagement of Chinese college students in English reading is insufficient. Individual differences are mainly reflected in the aspects of timing and strategy in the behavior engagement, as well as the aspects of concentration and persistence in the thinking engagement. There is an overall lack of emotional engagement, and deep reading has not been universally achieved. The design of the scale of metacognitive engagement provides references for the optimization of digital reading platforms and the exploration of the pathways to promote English deep reading.
