虚拟环境中的课程教学团队运作——以综合英语课程为例

本文借鉴虚拟团队概念和投入-过程-产出(I-P-O)模型,分析了综合英语课程教学团队在虚拟环境中运作的三个环节,将保障该团队有效运行的关键要素(沟通与协作、动态工作关系的维系、信任关系的建立)在过程环节中单独列出并进行探讨,以解释教学团队设计、过程和绩效之间的关系。本文旨在引发对虚拟环境中的课程教学团队的多维度思考,以拓展远程开放教育师资队伍建设的发展空间,探索远程开放教育教学团队的运作规律及特性,提升远程开放教育的教学质量。     

远程开放学习中的虚拟实验与远程实验

实验是远程开放学习中急需解决的重要课题。现代教育技术的发展为应用仿真实验软件来实施虚拟实验提供了条件。利用Tina Pro软件进行电子技术的虚拟实验,与实际实验情况非常相近,实验结果与理论计算接近;麻省理工学院的远程微电子实验室是一个公开的远程微电子实验室,可以真实地进行远程微电子实验。两种实验方法特别适合于远程开放学习的教师和学生,同时还能在教育理念、技术方法等方面得到一些启迪。     

基于MATLAB GUI构建电工虚拟实验

纵观现代高校教学,虚拟实验已成为加强实践教学、提高教学质量的重要手段。以构建戴维宁定理虚拟实验为例,探讨基于MATLAB GUI构建电工虚拟实验的方法。结果表明,利用MATLAB GUI构建电工虚拟实验,步骤简单、程序简洁、高效逼真。     

网络环境下的大学英语后续课程的延伸——以ESP课程教学设计为视角进行分析

大学英语后续课程教学是对基础阶段大学英语学习的补充和完善。网络ESP课程教学是对教育部提出的"计算机和课堂的英语教学模式"相结合的教学模式的一个成功创新,是大学英语后续课程的重要组成部分,能够更有效地促进学生达到"较高要求"和"更高要求"。     

客家民居聚落环境意义之探析

客家民居聚落是客家人对自身生存、生活环境进行精密思索创造的结果。在漫长的历史发展中,聚落环境被逐渐赋予关于自然、文化与社会的深远意义,成为客家文化最为重要的象征之一。本文试从建成环境意义的角度出发,就客家民居聚落空间图式的系列形成过程探析客家民居聚落环境的意义及其启示。     

Teaching about the importance of trees: a study with young children

This paper reports on a study undertaken with the primary aim of investigating the effect of the storytelling teaching approach on kindergarten children's retention of ideas about the importance of trees. The study also assessed the effect of storytelling on children's intention to participate in a tree planting activity that they had to select from a list of activities. The story that was created included such elements as binary opposites, mental images, mystery, and wonder, according to Kieran Egan's theory. The study utilized a two‐group design, was conducted in three phases (pre‐test, intervention, and post‐test), lasted 11 weeks, and its results provide evidence of the effectiveness of the storytelling approach when compared with the traditional method of expository teaching complemented with visual images (pictures) of trees and their importance to human beings. The pedagogical appropriateness of the story, which was based upon the binary pair of opposites ‘security–insecurity’, is also discussed in the paper.     

Assessing Library Automation and Virtual Library Development in Four Academic Libraries in Oyo,Oyo State,Nigeria

The paper examines the level of library automation and virtual library development in four academic libraries. A validated questionnaire was used to capture the responses from academic librarians of the libraries under study. The paper discovers that none of the four academic libraries is fully automated. The libraries make use of librarians with background training in computer applications coupled with in-house and sponsored conferences and workshops. Again, none of the automation and internet equipments in these four institutions is assessed to be adequate. The paper recommends that parent institutions should give priority to the development of library automation and virtual library development through internet connectivity by voting adequate fund to this project.
