I look at the influence of modern information technology on our changes from two aspects: education and learning.
First of all, from the perspective of education
First of all, modern information technology has caused changes in educational concepts. Modern information technology has impacted the traditional educational model from all aspects, and first caused the revolution of educational concept. Among them, including the following three changes:
① The change of teaching concept. In traditional teaching, teachers are the main body of teaching and students are the main body of learning. The flow of knowledge from teachers to students is one-way injection, lacking two-way interaction. The wide application of modern information technology in education, first, education is no longer limited to schools, but information-centered transmission technology, extending to extracurricular education, family education and social education; The object of education has also broken through the circle of teenagers, extended to middle-aged and elderly people, and changed to lifelong education; With the help of new information and multimedia tools, teachers use dynamic pictures and sound effects to change from traditional linear teaching to teaching concept based on nonlinear resources. In the process of information-based teaching, teachers adopt open teaching, just like classroom managers, organizers and commanders, while computers and networks replace "preaching, teaching and solving doubts"; Students are not only recipients of knowledge and information, but also active participants in classroom activities. Teachers and students must have the ability to obtain information, process information, create information and publish information. On the basis of accepting and mastering knowledge, we must also have the innovative consciousness and ability of people in the information age.
With the application of information technology in education, the requirements of class hours and courses are relatively flexible. With the help of teaching support system and lesson preparation system, teachers can collect a large number of relevant knowledge information of various disciplines to support their own teaching content, which not only greatly enriches and enlivens their own teaching content, but also greatly expands students' knowledge, realizes the integration of subject knowledge and makes students' knowledge holistic and coherent.
(3) With the change of educational evaluation concept and talent concept, the information education mode has changed from exam-oriented education to quality education, and the value orientation of educational goals is no longer just high scores, but to cultivate modern new talents who are "facing modernization, facing the world and facing the future". Such talents should be a combination of spirit, wisdom, perseverance and creativity. They not only need solid basic knowledge and profound theoretical foundation, but also need to cope with high technology, high comprehensive quality and high ability of continuous struggle.
Second, the reform of teaching materials.
Synchronized with the change of ideas is the change of all links in the educational process. The revolution of information technology makes the traditional teaching materials, mainly printed materials such as paper and plates, transition to diversified information carriers. Modern information teaching materials are mainly CD-ROM teaching materials and online teaching materials. CD-ROM teaching materials include computer courseware, professional database and information retrieval system. We can rely on the huge storage capacity of the computer to develop powerful software, which is compatible with audio-visual teaching materials and paper teaching materials. It can not only realize the real reproduction, but also simulate the real process, transform static information into dynamic information and visualize abstract concepts. Online teaching materials can use online media to introduce new teaching materials at the fastest speed, or constantly update and enrich existing teaching materials. At present, more and more teaching materials are multimedia, including not only words and graphics, but also sound, animation, video and three-dimensional images. Through hypermedia links, pictures, sounds and words are integrated into a dynamic and continuous process to make book knowledge come alive.
Third, the change of teaching environment.
Modern information technology makes monotonous and boring teaching environment diversified, novel and vivid. Multi-functional classrooms are equipped with audio-visual teaching equipment and multimedia computer equipment, that is, information receiving, input and output equipment, which can be connected with school cable TV system, various Internet, school campus network, big screen and audio-visual teaching system, and all components are integrated together for teaching, forming an illustrated teaching information presentation system, which can collect, process, process and display multimedia information. Thus, it breaks through the limitation of limited classroom teaching time and materials, and shows the maximum amount of information to students. In addition to classroom teaching environment, it also includes the reform of experimental teaching environment. The appearance of virtual laboratory has created a simulated teaching environment for basic teaching and brought revolutionary changes to the experimental teaching environment. The virtual reality technology of modern information technology solves the experimental difficulties caused by the blind area of time and space and the limit of human visual physiology, and makes the experimental process and results that cannot be observed in reality or in a short time appear in front of us instantly; At the same time, the virtual experiment makes the experiment no longer limited by the venue, equipment, time and natural environment, and creates more practical opportunities for learners. The change of classroom and experimental teaching environment caused by modern information technology is helpful to promote teachers to implement innovative education and improve teaching efficiency; It also helps students to get the most knowledge and information in the shortest time and improve learning efficiency.
Fourth, the reform of educational methods.
Modern information technology makes it innovative. On the basis of traditional face-to-face teaching, teachers began to use the teacher's lesson preparation system and teaching work support system to screen information related to teaching content to make CAI courseware, and students can also make CAI by themselves. Modern information technology also makes another way of education-online distance education, more and more become an indispensable way of education in today's era. 1999, the Action Plan for Revitalizing Education Facing the 2 1 century approved by the State Council formally proposed "implementing modern distance education project, forming an open education network and building a lifelong learning system". It is also clearly stipulated that the implementation of modern distance education project and the effective use of the advantages of existing educational resources are strategic measures to run large-scale education under the condition of shortage of educational resources in China and should be strengthened as an important infrastructure. And for the first time, a distance education center was established in Zhejiang University to teach through the network. Online distance teaching enables people to obtain information and study online without leaving home, which greatly improves people's autonomy in learning; At the same time, online distance teaching optimizes the allocation of online quality education teaching resources and expands the sharing area.
Second, from the perspective of learning.
With the rapid development of modern information technology, our learning methods are also changing quietly, especially the information technology with microelectronics, communication technology, computer technology and network technology as the core, which breaks through the time and space limitations of education and learning, provides increasingly advanced technical support for the popularization of education and provides a good platform for the realization of lifelong learning.
First, the conditions to realize lifelong learning.
① Software environment
Mainly refers to the change and degree of society and people's thoughts that need lifelong learning. Mainly includes: a learning concept and learning content; From traditional closed school education to all-round opening.
② Hardware environment
The rise and development of lifelong education depends entirely on the development of society and the progress of science and technology. The continuous development and application of information technology with microelectronics technology, communication technology, computer technology and network technology as the core endows distance education with space for development and growth beyond time and space. Modern distance education is rapidly changing the traditional form of education and promoting the comprehensive reform of education. At the same time, modern distance education has opened up a thoroughfare for learners' lifelong learning and provided essential hardware conditions for lifelong learning.
Second, modern distance education and its role in lifelong learning.
① Characteristics of distance education
Distance education takes learners as the main body.
The design of multimedia distance learning materials is more personalized.
C distance education pays more attention to learning support for learners.
② The role of modern distance education in lifelong learning.
Modern distance education is the best choice for everyone's lifelong learning.
Distance education promotes the construction of lifelong learning system.
Distance education promotes the individualization and individualization of learning.
The application of modern educational technology has realized the sharing of educational and learning resources.
