When participating in a large-scale, web-based professional development program, to what degree do teachers participate? How
useful do they find the program? To what degree do they feel supported in their efforts? What are the associations between
participation, evaluation of services, and the level of service teachers receive? MyTeachingPartner provides several levels
of support to teachers, and each participant’s involvement in the project varies in terms of assigned level, frequency of
logging in to the site, and the time she spends on it. This paper compared key data sources, including web navigation logs
and teacher survey responses, to describe the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of support, their specific project
interactions, and the level of service they receive. We explored ways that a large-scale professional development project
such as MTP can benefit from identifying and nurturing those elements that best foster teacher perceptions of support. 相似文献

This article reports on a naturalistic study conducted with 24 low-achieving high school Biology students. Observations and
interviews were used to determine how the teacher and students used two different computer-based instructional programs on
frog anatomy and dissection, and how students conducted a subsequent dissection. Student and teacher opinions were solicited
about the different computer-based programs and the dissection laboratory. Findings suggest that dissection can be a valuable
learning experience for low-achieving Biology students when they are engaged in group cooperation and interaction and receive
adequate instructional preparation. Results also point to the motivation these students exhibit toward computer use, to the
importance of balancing learner and program control, and to the value of considering the teacher as a possible source of both
interaction and structure during courseware use. Recommendations based on these and other findings are offered for educators
and instructional developers.

Design and use of hypermedia systems 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mable B. Kinzle Richard L. Berdel 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1990,38(3):61-68
Hypermedia makes it possible for learners to explore interactive multimedia-based instructional systems. To realize the potential of hypermedia to increase student involvement and learning, important design and use issues will have to be addressed. For example, how can we ensure that learners will be able to effectively regulate their own learning as they exercise the control inherent in hypermedia-based systems? How can motivation be stimulated and maintained, so that individuals will go beyond superficial browsing to really explore and learn? A theoretical and research-based foundation is summarized here which suggests answers to these questions, answers that revolve around learner control, self-regulated learning, and continuing motivation. Recommendations are offered for the effective design of hypermedia systems and the appropriate preparation of learners who will use them. 相似文献

While valuable instructional products are available for development and distribution via a variety of media, the Internet provides one of the most effective delivery mediums to date. In this paper, we describe the design and development of a set of Internet-based instructional materials on frog dissection and anatomy, and report on the effectiveness of Internet delivery for encouraging high levels of use and user satisfaction.A previous version of this paper was presented at the 1995 annual meeting of the Internet Society, Honolulu, HI. 相似文献

In the first phase of this study, how English simple past is being taught in the classroom was examined through a questionnaire. The findings report how primary and secondary teachers perceived the difficulties faced by Cantonese English as a second language learners when acquiring English simple past, and the dominant teaching approaches or strategies used to address the problems. The second phase of the study examined the role of explicit instruction versus implicit instruction by involving primary 2 students being taught using three different forms of pedagogical intervention: processing instruction, traditional instruction, and implicit instruction. Findings show that the processing instruction group had significant improvement from pretest to posttest in the interpretation task, and they also obtained the greatest gains. In the production task, both processing instruction and traditional instruction groups obtained greatest gains and their improvement was significant. Explicit instruction was found to be more effective than implicit instruction in second language acquisition of English simple past. 相似文献

Teachers in early childhood and elementary classrooms (grades K-5) have been using ten-frames as an instructional tool to support students’ mathematics skill development for many years. Use of the similar five-frame has been limited, however, despite its apparent potential as an instructional scaffold in the early elementary grades. Due to scant evidence of teacher use and a lack of systematic research we know little to nothing about both the developmental and pedagogical implications of using five frames and related instructional manipulatives in early childhood mathematics classrooms. In this paper, we provide an overview of five-frames and specifically demonstrate ways that five-frames, if used in conjunction with concrete manipulatives, can support pre-kindergarten (pre-K) children’s development of Gelman and Gallistel’s (1978) three basic counting principles: the stable-order principle, one-to-one correspondence, and cardinality. We conclude by discussing the developmental and instructional implications of using five-frames, as well as offer a set of teaching tips designed to help teachers maximize the potential advantages of integrating five-frames in the pre-K classroom. 相似文献

In the current study, we focus on teacher-student discourse in Pre-K science activities, with particular attention to teacher questioning. Videotaped classroom observations and teacher interviews served as the corpus of data. Overall, teachers asked mostly closed-ended questions, but used more open-ended questions when experiments were being conducted. During experiments, teachers?? questions were aimed at prediction and reasoning. In contrast, teachers used primarily closed-ended questions when science skills were being practiced and during science book readings, when their questions were oriented toward recognition and recall of factual information. The effects of the teachers?? questions can be seen in the students?? responses. When questions were open-ended, students employed a more varied vocabulary and more complex sentence structures. When teachers?? questions were oriented toward prediction and reasoning, students practiced these higher level cognitive skills in responding. Based on these findings, we provide recommendations for teaching practice in early childhood science education. 相似文献

Children naturally explore and learn about their environments through inquiry, and computer technologies offer an accessible
vehicle for extending the domain and range of this inquiry. Over the past decade, a growing number of interactive games and
educational software packages have been implemented in early childhood education and addressed a variety of subjects, including
mathematics, science, reading, language, and social studies. However, most software packages have yet to integrate technology
into inquiry-based learning for early childhood contexts. Based on existing theoretical frameworks, we suggest that instructional
technologies should be used in early childhood inquiry education to (a) enrich and provide structure for problem contexts,
(b) facilitate resource utilization, and (c) support cognitive and metacognitive processes. Examples of existing and hypothetical
early childhood applications are provided as we elaborate on each role. Challenges and future research directions are also
identified and discussed. 相似文献

Development of two-digit place value understanding in the elementary grades has been the subject of some study; however, research at the pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) level is limited. This two-part paper begins by providing an overview of two-digit place value instruction in Pre-K and describes the component parts of a research-based math curriculum, MyTeachingPartner Math (MTP Math). Part two presents the results of a video analysis of classroom interactions across four MTP Math place value activities facilitated by two high quality teachers. Particular attention is given to the primary conceptual hurdles faced by students, as well as the scaffolding strategies employed by teachers. Results indicate that students possess a conceptual understanding of the ones place prior to the tens place and initially struggle the concept of unitizing groups of ten. Considerations are discussed for improving the quality of teacher-child interactions in pre-kindergarten that can best support children’s thinking and learning. 相似文献
