Classroom Response Systems: A Review of the Literature

As the frequency with which Classroom Response Systems (CRSs) are used is increasing, it becomes more and more important to define the affordances and limitations of these tools. Currently existing literature is largely either anecdotal or focuses on comparing CRS and non-CRS environments that are unequal in other aspects as well. In addition, the literature primarily describes situations in which the CRS is used to provide an individual as opposed to a group response. This article points to the need for a concerted research effort, one that rigorously explores conditions of use across diverse settings and pedagogies.     

对我国教育技术研究领域发展现状的反思

目前我国教育技术研究领域存在的问题包括 :唯媒体技术论思想仍处于主流地位、理论研究过于依赖学习心理学的研究成果以及在解决实际教学问题方面显得软弱无力。究其源 ,出现这些问题的原因之一是我们没有清醒地认识到教育技术的实质内涵。教育技术是解决教育教学问题的技术、方法和技巧。要解决教育教学问题 ,首先要对教育教学问题有深刻的理解和认识 ,其次要了解技术的使用条件。所以教育技术研究者应更多关注教育教学问题和技术使用条件方面的研究

The Great Media Debate and TPACK: A Multidisciplinary Examination of the Role of Technology in Teaching and Learning

This article bridges the fields of instructional design and teacher education, presenting and modernizing the media influence debate and synthesizing it with the technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework. Five modern technologies are presented as media comparison studies, analyzed from both the medium-as-variable and medium-and-method-as-variable perspectives, and highlighted in an example teaching and learning scenario analyzed for TPACK. The media debate is newly synthesized with TPACK, acknowledging the teacher as a critical variable in instructional success, and implications for research and teacher education and professional development are presented.     

从用户到顾问:教学设计人员在当前在线教学中所担当的“新角色”(英文)

本文讨论了教育技术的专业实践如何影响教学设计师的角色。技术前景的动态本质使得教学设计师的工作复杂化,使得他们在应用所学的系统设计模式时有着很大的困难。目前,教学设计师在帮助机构有效采用教育技术方面担当着更加多样的、精细的角色。在假定这些新角色的基础上,教学设计人员应当跨越自身的舒适区,不仅仅是与学科专家合作的设计人员,或者是第一个吃螃蟹使用技术的人,而是真正成为绩效专家,协调机构内的不同力量。     

Eye-Tracking Students' Attention to PowerPoint Photographs in a Science Education Setting

Eye-tracking technology allows for the determination of the exact location of the point of gaze of a subject's eye. This study sought to take advantage of this ability to determine how students attend to science related photographs. Pre-service science teachers were shown a PowerPoint^TM Presentation with embedded photographs. The photographs were classified according the Pozzer and Roth (2003) classification scheme. Special focus was given to the photographs classified as complimentary, most highly integrated with the text, and decorative, the least integrated with the text. A second variable, accompanying audio narration, was integrated into the study design. Analysis indicated complimentary photographs received significantly more attention from the subjects. The effect of audio narration was to blur this distinction as students spent a greater amount of time on the given slides. Using eye-tracking technology, this study was able to confirm that students' devote more attention to highly relevant photographs.     

教育评价的几大问题及发展方向

本文探讨教育评价必须面对的几大问题,包括教育目标的多重性、教育评价的完整性、教育目标的非兼容性及矛盾性,以及教育目标的个性化等。这些问题是教育评价中不可避免但又必须恰当处理的。因此,教育评价的发展方向应该是更加关注长期的教育性目标,减少对短期的教学性目标评价的依赖;更加注重个性化评价,找出个体学生的价值和发展方向。     

优势视角:考量思想政治教育实效的新视角

优势视角是社会工作实践的一种新模式,主要是指社会工作者要积极利用案主的优势和资源,帮助案主实现自己的目标和梦想,并积极面对案主生命中遇到的挫折。如果将这一理论运用于思想政治教育,将有利于开发受教育者的潜能,提高其主观能动性,从而释放其内在的优势,最终可以提高思想政治教育的针对性和实效性。     

Beyond the Book: Using Web 2.0 Tools to Develop 21st Century Literacies

New information and communications technologies (ICT) are redefining teacher education. A university faculty member and an instructional technology consultant incorporated information and communications technologies within a graduate university methods course. The following research questions explored student perceptions of using Web 2.0 tools as a language arts teaching tool: (a) Do pre-service teachers feel adequately prepared to implement 21st century skills using Web 2.0 tools? and (b) What are the barriers that exist for teachers in using Web 2.0 tools in promoting literacy? Findings suggest educators must continue research of Web 2.0 tools to design new learning opportunities for the future.     

知识技术视野中的教育技术思想简史

作为探究教育教学系统构造的技术过程的学科,教育技术学包括教学设计与课程开发两方面的内容,教育技术的历史进步表现为教学设计和课程开发技术原理和技术效应件的进化。教学设计的整体原理至今仍为加涅的"教学—学习映射表",局部效应件的进化则包括教学目标、学习结果分类、教学策略制定等。在课程开发领域,至今尚未出现整体性的课程开发技术原理;虽然博比特、查特斯、加涅等人对活动设计、课程任务有过一些研究,但社会角色的分析技术、课程知识的组织、课程目标的分类等技术效应件也都不够成熟。     

A Case Study in Online Classroom Interaction to Enhance Graduate Instruction in English Literature

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of online classroom collaborative environments to support the face-to-face teaching of a graduate course in English Literature. Online data from graduate students and the professor were collected and analyzed. Results show that students benefit from the online interaction to learn English Literature. There are, however, also disadvantages in the use of online environments, which are discussed in our conclusion.

在现代教育技术下的英语专业师范生综合素质的培养与教学策略的建构

英语专业师范生的综合素质对英语教育的改革和发展具有重要的现实意义。在多媒体等现代教育技术下,以人本主义、建构主义、学习风格理论等为理论依据,构建自我导向策略、语言多维信息输入策略、交互学习策略、创建协作探究策略、创立教-学风格顺应策略等教学策略,无疑是培养和提高英语专业师范生综合素质的有效途径。     

教学临界阈研究的问题与思路

教学临界阈研究是探究和揭示教学有效性内在本质及其规律的关键,是我们对有效教学问题从外条件研究到内问题探讨的转折点。这些内问题的探讨主要包括学习者的有效学习量究竟是多少才能引起学习临界点的出现,影响教学从量变到质变的关键因素是什么,教学临界阈的产生能否促使学习者知而达智、行而致能。超额学习、掌握学习、语言输入理论、结构方程模式等成果为教学临界阈的研究奠定了基础,人类工效学、知识生态学和博弈论更是为教学临界阈研究提供了多元视角。时间、空间、群体和影响程度等质变临界阈的存在意味着教学临界阈研究有着不同的研究思路,而具体内容学习变化的曲线则是判断教学临界阈的基本依据。通过变量干预而改变教学临界状态是研究有效教学的一个新的切入点。     

教学设计研究的田野工作趋向

The Computerization of Career Services: Critical Issues to Consider

Increasingly, career centers on university and college campuses are making use of the World Wide Web to help their users with a myriad of career related needs. This technological service delivery mode has many advantages that will be briefly reviewed in this article. As well, a computer emphasis has the potential for drastically changing career centers as we know them: their traffic patterns, staffing needs, resource procurement, and perhaps most importantly, their outcomes in the lives of the students who make use of them. This article discusses these changes and through a review of seven critical issues, challenges the reader to closely examine the implications for technology within their own career centers.     

教育游戏沉浸感研究综述

国外关于教育游戏沉浸感的研究主要集中于四个方面：（1）游戏中的流体验;（2）游戏沉浸感的影响因素;（3）增强学习者沉浸感的策略与模式;（4）游戏中沉浸感的评估与测量。国内研究起步相对较晚,但已有部分理论研究成果。研究表明,此课题的研究虽已取得一定成就,但还颇存不足之处,如实证研究成果不多、研究体系不完善等。未来关于教育游戏中沉浸感的研究在研究内容、方法和视角上还有很多内容值得关注。
