从教师角度考察我国基础教育信息化的状况和问题

教师作为教学活动的执行者,在教育信息化实践中起到最为直接的作用.本研究试图从一线教师的经验来考察基础教育信息化的现状,通过审视近五年教师认知技能和观念的变化来为教学实践和师资培训提供最新的决策信息.作者调查了433名小学教师技术使用的技能、态度和再学刊途径.数据显示,相比5年前,教师的技术使用水平有大幅提高;多数教师对技术应用持积极态度,并愿意开展更多的技术整合活动和参加更多的相关培训.对多数被调查教师而言,困扰他们的主要不是硬件设备的缺乏,而是相关软件和应用的缺乏.在新技术应用上,数据显示出教师支持"教"的实践较多,而支持学生"学"的实践较少.教师很大程度上把教育技术能力等同于技术操作、课常演示和课件制作水平.作者建议师资培训应从技术操作层面的训练转向教学法、教学内容和技术结合的设计训练,以此来提高技术整合活动的效果.
