国外科学教育中传感器技术教学研究及启示

传感器技术在科学教学中的广泛应用使得与之相关的教学模式、实验内容、教学理念、教材开发等发生了很大的变化,引起了学界越来越多的关注。为弥补国内学界对此探讨较多但对国外这方面研究状况较为缺失的不足,在文献研究基础上,对科学教育中传感器技术相关术语及其概念进行了简要的界定,概括了教育领域中传感器技术的发展,从学生概念学习和能力考察、教学模式、教师教学使用情况、教师培训模式等方面梳理了国外基于传感器技术的教学研究的特点,主要体现在:以基于传感器技术的概念转变、能力考查为核心研究内容,以教学模式的探究为重要内容,以教师使用情况的调查为有力保障,以师资培训模式的探索为新动向。在此基础上分析我国传感器技术的教学应用研究现状,提出相关建议,以期为我国相关研究提供有益的启示和借鉴。

Data-Logging System in Science Education at Abroad:Instructional Research and Implications

Corresponding to broadly using of data-logging system in science education,dramatic changes have been occurred in many areas in education,teaching patterns,experiment designs,teaching ideas,teaching materials development.Thus,it has more and more attentions of researchers in many countries.However,such areas were relatively weak in China.As one of ways to address this issue,the current study aims to make a review on related researches of scholars in other countries.Based on the literature review,the paper defines the data-logging system and its related conceptions in science education,summarizes the development of data-logging system in education,and goes through papers focused on the instructional implementation of data-logging system.It further discusses the characteristics of data-logging system implemented in(a) the students conceptual understanding and competency development,(b) the teaching patterns,(c)the issues of teachers’ use of data-logging system,and(d) the mode of teacher education.Among such four topics,research on data-logging system implemented in the students conceptual understanding and competency development is at the core place;data-logging system-based teaching patterns is a key research topic;surveys on teachers’ use of data-logging system play a foundational role;and the mode of teacher education based on data-logging is a new trend in such area.Finally,the paper discusses the status of research on data-logging system in China science teaching and then proposes some suggestions on future research.It is hoped the study would shed some lights on the relevant research in China.
