From the operational level, what is the current level of online teaching and research in your area? What other problems need to be solved urgently?
Ye Ping: Since 2004, we have organized cooperative research activities of school-based research in Hubei Province, and put forward and constantly improved action strategies to promote school-based research. The practice in the past three years has proved that the implementation of the action strategy of school-based research not only effectively promotes the progress of school-based research in primary and secondary schools in the province, but also brings opportunities for the development of school-based research networks. Macroscopically, relying on Hubei Education Information Network, Hubei Province has established a provincial distance education and scientific research network with equal emphasis on platform construction and resource construction. At the end of 2005, the "school-based research network" and "subject teaching website group" were opened respectively. On the whole, although the school-based research network work in Hubei Province has made initial progress, it is still at a low level and has not been regularized and institutionalized. There is an urgent need for further breakthroughs in resource integration and strength integration, especially in platform construction. In addition, due to the uneven development of various regions, there is no overall regional advancement.
Zhou: In order to ensure the smooth progress of online teaching and research, the leaders of Gongshu District Education Bureau in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province attach great importance to education informatization and increase investment in infrastructure construction in the whole region. It has successively launched online teaching and research information publishing platforms such as Gongshu Education Forum, Gongshu Education Blog and Gongshu Teacher Education Network. These platforms have changed the learning and working conditions of teaching researchers and teachers, promoted mass teaching and research and school-based teaching and research, accumulated resources of subject teaching and research activities, and formed a "growth record bag" of subject teaching and research.
We feel that there are some difficulties in the development of online teaching and research: the teams engaged in online teaching and research are scattered and have not formed group strength; Lack of unified organization, coordination, guidance and guidance for regional network teaching and research personnel; Network teaching and research are all part-time, teaching and research personnel lack technical support, and technical personnel lack discipline ability; Front-line teachers have a heavy workload and lack time and energy.
Hua Zefeng: Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province has provided various information technology application platforms and rich teaching resources for primary and secondary school teachers.
Platform construction: From a regional perspective, the platforms are: (1) Changzhou Teaching and Research Network, which mainly provides information publishing and exchange platform for subject teaching and research. (2) A teacher's studio blog, named after the teacher, attracts teachers from the same field to join. We set up a training blog for each studio. At present, 482 1 blogs have been published and more than 1,000 responses have been received from/kloc-0. (3) Modern educational technology blog is a professional blog for Changzhou teachers to study the application of modern educational technology. In addition, Changzhou Audio-visual Education Center also opened an account for each "Tenth Five-Year" modern educational technology project school to upload the project research plan, process data and results. The most important thing is to provide a professional communication platform, and the problems encountered in the research can be answered immediately by educational technology experts or peers through the network, which greatly stimulates the interest in the research.
Resource construction: Changzhou's information resources construction has achieved initial results. Through independent development, cooperative development, direct procurement, etc., a three-level resource library of cities, districts and schools has been built. Changzhou educators now have educational resources 1500G, covering the resources of new curriculum standards in various disciplines.
Next, we will explore effective modes of information resources development, application and management. Changzhou Audio-visual Education Center will take the lead in establishing a "regional educational resources development and exchange cooperation body" in cooperation with audio-visual education institutions in the urban areas under its jurisdiction, give full play to the advantages of educational administrative departments and teachers in the region, seek technical solutions for the secondary development of digital educational resources that meet the needs of regional basic education curriculum reform, and develop digital educational resources. In addition, it is necessary to establish a search engine for basic education resources in the region, build a management platform and resource alliance for basic education resources, provide customized and personalized push services for basic education resources, closely link educational resources in the region, and realize exchanges and cooperation in the region in the spirit of openness, sharing and mutual assistance.
In the process of networking school-based research in Hubei Province, how to unite the collective wisdom of teaching and research personnel through online teaching and research?
Ye Ping: We believe that both "online" and "offline" teaching and research must be school-oriented. Although the school-based research based on network application has broken the time-space boundary and promoted the communication between teachers, its fundamental purpose is still to promote the development of our school and the growth of our teachers, and we must still focus on solving the problems in the professional development of our teachers. We must define network-based school-based research as "school-based cooperative research". We should give full play to the advantages of network interaction, encourage teachers to establish a sense of teamwork, and especially emphasize online cooperative research based on teachers' teamwork. Every teacher should learn to improve his professional ability, share wisdom and make progress together with the help of teamwork.
The most important feature of school-based research based on network application is that it can create conditions for inter-school cooperation and regional linkage of school-based research. Through the network, it can not only promote the development experience of teachers in different schools, but also realize the sharing of research resources (including cases and lessons). ); Not only can we make full use of the expert resources in the region and realize the sharing of expert guidance; With the support of education, teaching and research departments and college education experts, we can also organize regional school collaborative research at different levels in the region.
Most of the schools participating in the cooperation of school-based research projects have also set up corresponding school-based research platforms in the campus network, combining up and down, and making full use of network resources and platforms to carry out research. Schools use instant messaging software such as online forums, QQ, chat rooms, etc. to participate in UC teaching and research groups, especially teachers' blogs, so as to realize the exchange and cooperative research among teachers, realize the sharing of network resources and the interconnection of ideas, and form a learning community for all teachers. Through case analysis, teaching reflection, ideological exchange, inspiration recording, etc. In the process of sharing and communication, new knowledge is generated and new research resources shared by teachers are formed.
How to deepen online teaching and research?
Song: First of all, we should establish a corresponding online teaching and research team, especially the team building of online teaching and research personnel. Such a development alliance is the basis for the in-depth development of online teaching and research. Secondly, it is necessary to establish an online teaching and research system to promote the development of online teaching and research from the mechanism level, including management system and evaluation system. Thirdly, online teaching and research activities are rich in forms, first of all, networking, followed by daily activities, and the three complement each other. Fourthly, the research culture of network teaching is gradually formed, which mainly includes space culture, relationship culture, research learning style culture and rule culture. Network teaching and research culture refers to the sum of the thinking mode and behavior mode of network teaching and research, which is the hidden value that affects network teaching and research, and the internal foundation and power source of the development of network teaching and research. Fifth, online teaching and scientific research should strive to reflect the development direction of advanced culture, improve quality and efficiency, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and overcome one-sidedness. Only by constantly promoting the development of educational science can we reflect the advanced nature of online teaching and scientific research.
How to share high-quality resources and benefit rural education?
Hua Zefeng: In 2005, the "Spring Festival travel rush Project" was started in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Its purpose is to provide high-quality educational resources and modern information technology support for rural primary and secondary schools and weak schools. Share high-quality educational resources and improve the quality of education and teaching and the application level of information technology education. At the same time, help rural primary and secondary schools and weak schools to improve teachers' teaching ability and school-running level, promote the balanced development of basic education in the city, and truly run a satisfactory education for the people.
Ye Ping: In order to promote the application of modern distance education project in rural areas, in the process of regional school-based research, we should integrate resources and strength, rely on the "three networks in one" rural primary and secondary distance education network and other carriers, mobilize urban schools to support rural schools, encourage urban and rural schools to "pair up" to carry out interactive training for urban and rural teachers based on the network, organize learning communities, consolidate and develop rural education, and greatly improve the quality of rural teachers. Its basic strategy is to use the resources of Skynet to build a "ground network" platform and organize "human network" interaction.
