怎样设计“以学生学习为中心”的大学翻转课堂

翻转课堂是一种以学生学习为中心的教学方式。然而,现今大学里的翻转课堂大都只具其“形”,未得其“神”,未能真正实现以学生学习为中心。因此,有必要深入追问和清晰回答“怎样设计出以学生学习为中心的大学翻转课堂”这一问题,其具体内含何以可能、何以可行、何以可致和何以可成四个子问题。针对“何以可能”,基于探究共同体理论,厘清学生学习中心课堂的基本特征,提出9条“原理性”设计策略。针对“何以可行”,基于首要教学原理,规划出翻转课堂的具体环节,研制出11条“程序性”设计策略。针对“何以可致”,基于已有实证研究梳理出翻转课堂各实施环节中师生所遇难题,提出加以破解的9条“操作性”设计策略。在此基础上,“原理—程序—操作”三层次设计策略体系得以建构。展望未来,原理层次需有效建构文化自觉型设计策略,程序层次需持续探索技术优化型设计策略,操作层次需重点关注内容定向型设计策略。综合把握和应用该设计策略体系并有所创新,使得指向“以学生学习为中心”的大学翻转课堂设计得以可成。     

Exploring the effects of online learning behaviors on short-term and long-term learning outcomes in flipped classrooms

ABSTRACT

The flipped classroom pedagogy has been widely used recently. Despite many researches have paid attention with the learning outcome of flipped classroom, there has been limited attention in regard to investigate the relationship between learning behavior and learning outcomes in a flipped classroom. In this paper, we proposed to investigate the influence of online learning behaviors on short-term and long-term learning outcomes in a flipped classroom. This study used Calculus and grade point average (GPA) scores to represent short-term and long-term learning outcomes, respectively. Multiple linear regression indicated that students’ online learning behavior does not have a significant effect on short-term learning outcomes, but has a significant effect on long-term learning outcomes. For applying multiple correspondence analysis, students were divided into groups according to five grade levels based on their scores. According to GPA grade level, students’ online learning behaviors had a significant effect on long-term learning outcomes for the five groups (GPAa, GPAb, GPAc, GPAd, GPAe). According to their Calculus grade level, students’ online learning behaviors had a significant effect on short-term learning outcomes for three groups (CALa, CALd, and CALe), but two groups (CALb and CALc) did not demonstrate this trend. For exploring the effects of online learning behaviors on future learning outcomes, GPA can be considered representative because the GPA was calculated for the entire academic year 2015. Students in the CALa group exhibited the highest frequency of online learning behaviors and obtained the highest GPA grade levels (GPAa and GPAb). For the CALb, CALc, CALd, and CALe groups, students with a higher frequency of online learning behaviors obtained a higher GPA grade level. These results indicate that students’ online learning behaviors have a positive effect on future learning outcomes.     

Developing and validating a scale for measuring teachers’ readiness for flipped classrooms in junior high schools

The aim of this research is to examine the dimensions of junior high school teachers’ readiness for implementing a flipped classroom approach and to construct and validate an instrument—the Flipped-Classroom Teacher Scale (FCTS). Two sets of samples (170 and 495 junior high school teachers) served to explore and confirm the constructs of the FCTS model proposed by this study. The model has been empirically validated via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis. The research participants were from different geographical locations in Taiwan. The FCTS consists of four factors: institutional support, technology self-efficacy (TSE), teacher beliefs and teaching strategies (TS). The results show that the FCTS model is a valid and reliable scale. Teachers may use the FCTS to gain a greater understanding of their instructional design and strategies in relation to flipped classrooms.     

翻转课堂在专业英语教学中的应用

针对传统的专业英语教学中存在的学生参与度低、对专业英语沟通与交流能力训练不足等问题,以机械工程专业英语课程为例,将翻转课堂教学模式应用于教学过程,融合面对面的传统课堂教学与线上教学,给出了针对知识学习和能力培养的混合式教学实施过程。除专业英语知识传授之外,加强对学生专业英语沟通与交流能力、自学能力以及发现、分析和解决问题能力的培养。
