问题式学习:一条集中体现建构主义思想的教学改革思路

国外当前教育改革的浪潮中 ,问题式学习是一种与建构主义学习理论及其教学原则非常吻合的教学模式 ,目前正越来越多地被许多教育和培训领域所采用和重视。这种模式以问题为核心 ,让学生围绕问题展开知识建构过程 ,藉此过程促进学生掌握灵活的知识基础和发展高层次的思维技能、解决问题能力及自主学习能力。其学习过程包括组织小组、启动问题、循环反复解决问题、成果展示以及最后的反思和评价等环节。这种教学模式与我国当前教育改革的趋势比较一致 ,对国内教学改革思路很有启迪意义。

Problem-Based Learning: A Way of Constructivist Instructional Reform

Problem-based learning is a teaching pattern quite reasonably close to constructivist instructional learning theory and its teaching principle. In problem based learning, students construct their knowledge and develop their higher-order thinking skill and self-directed learning skill by means of solving a real and ill-structured problem. Problem-based learning includes a set of learning activities such as organizing a group, starting a problem, solving and resolving a problem, performance presentation and post-problem reflection.
