【摘要】本研究通过参与观察和让学生填写开放式问卷的方式，对小学中年级学生在自习课保持安静的原因进行调查研究，从而得出现代学生的责任意识是否正如人们所说的严重缺乏这一结论。调查发现，学生自习课不讲话的理由形形色色，但基本可归为两大类，一是出于功利的意识，即含有目的论思想；二是出于责任的意识，即包含义务论的思想.不过调查发现，只有极少数学生在做某一件事的时候，是由一种意识支配的，往往大部分学生都是这两种意识的融合，即责任意识和功利意识会同时支配他的思想，然后作出相应的行为。但无论是讲话的孩子还是不讲话的孩子，其都含有责任意识，所以社会的批判很多时候过于严肃，我们应给与孩子更多的包容。

【Abstract】This study through participant observation and let students fill in the open questionnaires to make the investigation and research on the reasons why middle grade pupils keep quiet on self-study class. We can come to the conclusion that whether modern students’ sense of responsibility is just as people said lack seriously. From this research we can found that there are many reasons that middle grade pupils keep quiet on self-study classes, but basically they can group into two categories. Firstly, for a utilitarian sense which contains the sense of teleology. Secondly, out of responsibility sense which contains the sense of deontology. However, the survey found that one sense only dominates few students when they are doing one thing, while the combination of two senses dominate most students, just senses of responsibility and utiliy will dominate his thought simultaneously, then he will make corresponding behavior. No matter students speak on self-study class or not, they all contain the sense of responsibility. However, social criticism is too serious in many cases, we should give children more inclusion.
