Methods of Instruction and Learning Outcomes: A Theoretical Analysis of Two Approaches in an Introductory Information Technology Course*

In introductory information technology (IT) courses, communicating technical concepts so that they can be comprehended by all students, technical and nontechnical, has been a concern. Another challenge in such courses is to teach the real‐world applicability of technical concepts. In this conceptual article, we focus on a relatively unexplored issue in IT education—which instructional method is more effective in improving the learning outcomes of all students taking introductory IT courses. In doing so, we consider two instructional methods, lecture and multimedia case studies, and argue that either of these instructional methods, adopted singly, will be perceived by students as less effective in accomplishing learning outcomes than adopting a combination of the two instructional methods. Our arguments both augment existing knowledge about the differential influence of lecture and multimedia case studies on students’ learning outcomes and questions the wisdom of adopting either of these methods singly in introductory IT courses. We derive insights from the literature and anecdotal evidence, presented as four propositions, which illustrate the relationship between the two instructional methods and the specific learning outcomes students perceive they affect.     

Situated Learning: Conceptualization and Measurement

A focus on the interaction between cognitive schemas and context in situ has been suggested as fundamental in organizational decision making and information interpretation. Past research suggests that the situation and the social interaction that occur during learning at the cognitive level consist of factors that affect the process, but the research lacks a coherent explanation for how those factors affect it. We propose a conceptualization of learning, termed situated learning, which accounts for these factors. By drawing on situated cognition theory, social learning theory, and the theory of mental models, we identify and measure four components of situated learning, that is, thematic focus, cognitive absorption, social structure, and participation. Among the most important lessons for researchers and practitioners is the need to consider learning as a constellation of the four components instead of an indivisible phenomenon. This perspective can enhance our understanding of cognitive processes, such as information interpretation and decision making.

体验式高职英语写作方法的研究

英语写作是＂听、说、读、写＂四项技能中较难掌握的一项,同时也是大学英语教学中最为薄弱的环节,英语写作水平直接反映了一个人的英语学习水平。如何提高英语写作水平成为当前研究的热点和难点。＂体验式英语写作＂教学法经过教学实践证明对高职学生的英语写作水平有较好的促进作用。     

论教育的“劳动化”

当前的教育存在着＂劳动化＂的倾向,导致了教学的＂劳动化＂、学习的＂劳动化＂以及唯分数至上的考试评价。教育的＂劳动化＂误读了儿童劳动的本意,歪曲了教育的意涵。现实的教育活动应当回归教育的本意,以促进儿童的精神健康地成长,只有这样,才能开辟教育的新纪元,才能真正给人类带来助益,这是教育之为教育的根本,这是教育善的追寻。
