探究多媒体网络教学模式

现如今随着计算机网络技术和Internet的不断发展,网上教学已经成为一种现实。所谓网上教学是指教师利用计算机网络向学生传递教学内容相关信息,或学生通过计算机网络获取学习的知识。当然它还包括教学资源调度、教学计划管理、学生学籍管理等。由于网上教学具有时效性、共享性、交互性和个别化等特点,教师要在教学过程中根据网上教学不同的教学模式,发挥教师的主导作用和激发学生自主学习,使学生成为学习的主体。     

境内外学生对网上学习环境的评价之比较

在全球范围内网上教学越来越成为主要的教学模式之一.然而,我国内地和境外的高等院校建构了怎样的网上学习环境呢？本研究邀请具有网上教学经验的四所内地高校和七所境外高校参加,采用问卷调查和比较研究的方法,通过学生对网上学习环境的评价,比较我国内地和境外高等院校的网上学习环境.本调查收回有效问卷2,311份,内容包括八个方面：技术支持、教学设计、内容设计、网站设计、灵活性、学生互动、教师支持,以及学习评估.研究表明,我国内地和境外高校建立的网上学习环境都注重到了以上八个层面的主题,然而,内地的高校提供更多的是技术支持,而境外高校在教学设计、课程设计、网站设计、灵活性等方面则给予了更多的重视.作者希望,本研究结果能有助于远程教育机构改进网上学习环境,增进网上教学的效果.     

网上学习:学习真的发生了吗?——跨文化背景下中英网上学习的比较研究

Virtual Learn=ng Community as New Approach of Teacher Professional Development——Reflective Research into an eLearning Program of Intercultural Collaboration between China and UK

Among the current reform measures undertaken in Chinese K-12 education, to adopt New Curricula and to improve ICT application in teaching are both decisive, however, the lack of qualified trainers is handicapping the professional development of over 10 millions in-service teachers. One of eChina ～ UK projects in collaboration between universities from both sides is designed to develop virtual learning community （VLC） among in-service teachers and explore from pedagogic perspective how to conduct VLC. In accordance with reflective learning and collaborative learning, three online learning modules have been jointly created by Chinese and UK educational specialists, and one unit from each module has been piloted by a group of senior teachers. Through analyzing the processes of course design and pilot, supported by quantitative and qualitative research into the experiences of pilot participants, the paper identifies some core factors influencing the quality of VLC and suggests that more attention should be given to the interactive learning process within VLC rather than to create well-structured learning materials before hand. It has also analyzed VLC as a promising approach to support professional development of in-service teachers from the perspective of continuous improvement process. There is much to be researched into the approach of VLC.     

Teacher Perceptions of Moodle and Throughput in a Blended Learning Programme for In-Service Secondary School Mathematics Teachers

The purpose of this article is to analyse teachers’ perceptions of using the modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment (Moodle) platform as a learning management system in a small-scale blended learning (b-learning) Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE) programme for in-service secondary school mathematics teachers in South Africa. It describes how the Moodle platform was used in combination with on-campus and later off-campus contact sessions for a widely dispersed population of 76 in-service mathematics teachers over a four-year period. Qualitative data was gathered by means of a questionnaire with open-ended items, while quantitative data was gathered from the centre's archives. The main findings were that Moodle enabled in-service teachers to experience social, cognitive and teaching presences, through synchronous and asynchronous discussions with peers and facilitators, and a teaching presence by submitting their inquiries and assignments online for facilitators to provide them with answers and feedback. The main obstacles to the integration of Moodle were limited availability of technology, slow speed, and unaffordable cost when available. With increased broadband connectivity Moodle holds the prospect for diversifying b-learning experiences that can support teachers’ professional learning outcomes and throughput for distributed populations of practising mathematics teachers, in particular.

Developing Online Graduate Coursework in Adapted Physical Education Utilizing Andragogy Theory

Graduate adapted physical education (APE) courses have typically been taught using face-to-face formats where the instructor and learners physically meet in a classroom and engage in discussions and experiential exercises. However, because in-service physical educators have time demands associated with teaching, coaching, and family commitments, face-to-face meetings may not be feasible. Therefore, online learning may provide a more efficient and effective method for training in-service physical educators to become APE specialists. The purpose of this article is to disseminate guidelines for developing and implementing online coursework in APE within the theoretical framework of andragogy (adult learning). In this article, the authors describe characteristics and implementation of an online APE graduate course for in-service physical educators based on andragogy theory. Andragogy theory addresses the particular needs of adult learners and is based on the idea that there are significant differences in learning characteristics between children and adults (Knowles, 1989). This article first describes four components fundamental to andragogical instruction: experiential learning, self-directed learning, engagement, and transformative learning. The narratives provide information and characteristics about online APE course development for PE teachers’ professional development and how andragogy approach is a useful and beneficial approach to enhance learning.     

Teachers’ and students’ perspectives on teaching and learning through virtual learning environments

The aim of this investigation was to get an insight into how teachers and students responded to the use of virtual learning environments (VLE) in engineering education and what their expectations were from online courses. Teachers designed their online courses with the assistance of a support e-learning team and questionnaires were used for teachers and students to express their views on the online courses. Teachers pointed out that the online courses by themselves would be able to tackle limited lecture time and strengthen the students’ background knowledge. Students, on the other hand, stated that their difficulties regarding the courses could be facilitated by using a more interactive teaching approach with the use of collaboration tools and receiving individual feedback. Thus, students suggested that teachers adopt a more student-centred approach by using VLE. Teachers’ and students’ perspectives were related to their personal characteristics, as students were more familiar with everyday e-communication tools.     

高中理科学习困难的量化研究——基于三省（市）的问卷调查

理科教学中长期存在的教学效率低、学业成绩低、学生理科学习兴趣不高等问题一直没有得到有效的解决,其根本原因在于对理科学习困难的成因和现状缺乏深入的、系统的分析。对辽宁、北京和河南三个省（市）的高中师生展开的学习困难量化研究显示,师生对高中理科学习困难的原因认识存在显著性差异,都是客体因素排在第一,而将涉及自己的因素排在最后。指标的细化研究表明,师生认为导致理科学习困难的最重要因素是＂生活实践＂、＂学习方法＂,最不重要的因素是＂学习基础＂,而关于＂情感态度＂的认识则差异较大。     

混合式学习中学生学习投入现状与影响因素研究

混合式学习以其能够促进主动和深度学习的优势,在国内外高等教育教学中得到广泛应用。本研究的目的是,在把握学生学习投入现状的基础上,进一步探讨影响混合式学习环境下学生学习投入的内外部因素。研究采用问卷的方式进行调查与系统分析,结果发现:混合式学习背景下,学生整体学习投入为中等偏上水平,相对而言,学生行为投入较高,情感投入表现中等,认知投入最低。影响学习投入的关键因素从高到低依次为教师教学、学生学习动机、平台资源等,同时学生的性格、班级角色、师生关系等也是影响学生学习投入的重要因素。在此基础上,研究提出改进建议:提高教师混合式教学素养,提高学生满意度与学习投入水平;优化线上、线下学习活动设计,持续激发学生学习动机;丰富在线学习资源形式,提升质量,激发并维持学生在线学习兴趣;融合线上、线下多元互动,促进主动学习;构建易用、有用的在线教学平台,改善线上学习体验。
