This paper discusses student and teacher perceptions of a new development in the use of the predict–observe–explain (POE) strategy. This development involves the incorporation of POE tasks into a multimedia computer program that uses real-life, digital video clips of difficult, expensive, time consuming or dangerous scenarios as stimuli for these tasks. The program was created by the first author to be used by pairs of secondary physics students to elicit their conceptions of force and motion and encourage discussion about these views. In this computer learning environment, students were required to type full sentence responses that were recorded by the computer for later analysis by the researcher. Other data sources for this study included audio and video recordings of student discussions, interviews with selected students and their teachers, classroom observations, and student questionnaires. This paper will report on some findings from the study, focussing on student and teacher perceptions of the computer-mediated POE tasks. The findings have implications for the effective use of multimedia to enhance meaningful learning in science classrooms.  相似文献   

建构主义教学:何去何从   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

潘洪建  胡斌武 《扬州大学学报(高教研究版)》2006,10(1):91-93

建构主义是当代认知主义的进一步发展,以折衷的、温和的建构主义为基础的教学是可能的,尽管其教学尝试还未引起教学理论的真正革命,但它对于批判和克服课堂教学中占统治地位的“传播主义”及其弊害有着不可低估的意义。建基于坚实知识论基础的建构主义教学前程灿烂。  相似文献   

Examining the role of technology-related policy and constructivist teaching belief on English teachers’ technology acceptance: A study in Chinese universities     

Fang Huang  Timothy Teo 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2021,52(1):441-460

This large scale study investigated the influences that technology-related policies and teachers’ constructivist teaching beliefs have on their intention to use technology in Chinese universities. Data were collected from 696 English teachers working in 59 Chinese universities. Five variables (subjective norm, constructivist teaching belief, perceived importance of policy, computer self-efficacy and voluntariness) were examined in this study. Results indicated that perceived importance of policy, constructivist teaching beliefs and subjective norm were significant antecedents of perceived usefulness. The relationship between subjective norm and teachers’ intentions to use technology was moderated by voluntariness. Besides perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use also had significantly influenced English teachers’ behavioural intention. Overall, the research model explained 69% of variance of teachers’ intentions to use technology. This study has the potential to enrich our understanding of technology acceptance in teaching by contextualising the study in the rarely researched English teaching context in Chinese universities. The findings from this study also provide suggestions for policy makers and teacher educators.  相似文献   

英国小学科学教育改革：实地考察与思考     

丁邦平 《比较教育研究》2008,30(9)

笔者通过实地考察发现:英国小学科学课堂教学既有采用"建构式探究"教学模式的,也有采用"接受式探究"教学模式的.此外,近年来英国小学科学教育改革还采取了多项有效的政策性措施,如通过立法确立小学科学课程在国家义务教育课程中的核心地位;教师职前教育中注重培养小学教师的科学教学能力;国家建立"科学学习中心",提高在职教师的专业化水平;在教学过程中普遍采用"学习性评价",使评价与教学合二为一,以此提高探究教学的效率和质量,等等.  相似文献

网络环境下综合英语课程的立体化教学模式探究     

杨玲玲 《安顺学院学报》2017,19(2)

探索科学高效的教学模式是高校综合英语教学改革的方向之一,建构主义学习理论所主导的网络环境下综合英语课程的立体化教学模式,涉及教师、学生、教材、媒体四要素准确定位及相互之间关系的科学处理,具体实施方案可从课程导入、单元知识教学、主题讨论、单元练习与测试、课程学习总结五个阶段着手.  相似文献   

建构主义学习理论指导下的大学英语教学改革     

孙琪 《科教文汇》2013,(28):107-107,112

建构主义学习理论认为,知识不是通过教师的传授而获得的,而是通过学习者在一定的社会文化情境中,借助学习过程中其他人的帮助,利用必要的学习资料,通过意义构建的方式而获得的。建构主义学习理论为传统教学理论带来一场教学改革,教学的中心由教师向学生转移,也意味着教师和学生的作用的改变。在大学英语课堂教学中,要坚持以学习者为中心,积极创设出符合英语教学内容要求的相应情境,搭建新知识与旧知识间的相互联系,鼓励学生协作学习,从而引导学习者实现建构主义理论下的知识建构。建构主义学习理论对大学英语教学改革具有巨大的指导意义。  相似文献   

Biomechanics teachers can be animals     

Ross Sanders  Lesley Sanders 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2013,12(2):245-268

The aim of this study was to determine whether a constructivist approach, in particular a visit to a zoo, could be effective in consolidating mechanical concepts and applying those concepts to coaching and teaching. Ten students in their final year of their Bachelor of Physical Education at the University of Edinburgh participated in a visit to Edinburgh Zoo. During the visit students completed a worksheet of questions and engaged interactively in discussing how various animals are adapted mechanically to survive in their environments. Immediately after the visit they completed a questionnaire with four sections. The first section assessed whether they could apply the mechanical concepts discussed during the visit to human sports performance. The second canvassed their opinions on whether the visit was effective in reinforcing mechanical concepts, in developing ‘lateral thinking’ about mechanical concepts, and in improving their ability to apply mechanical concepts to coaching and teaching. The third canvassed their opinions on whether the visit would be effective for senior high school Physical Education and Sports Science students for developing mechanical concepts and applying them to coaching. The fourth section canvassed their opinions on when the visit should be conducted for Physical Education and Sports Science students in universities and in senior high schools. The results indicated that the visit was effective in reinforcing mechanical concepts and in applying them laterally to improve understanding of human sports performance. Participants believed that the visit would also be effective for senior high school students. All participants believed that the visit would be most beneficial after at least one course in biomechanics that covers the basic biomechanical principles.  相似文献
