Audio-visual education in China sprouted in the 1920s, started in the 1930s, and developed slowly and tortuous. It didn't start again until 1978 when China implemented the reform and opening up. In recent 20 years, with the rapid development of China's social economy, the voice of education modernization and education informatization is growing. Although the promulgation of the Education Law and the Ninth Five-Year Plan of national audio-visual education is the driving force, it is obviously unrealistic to expect modern educational technology to be widely used in schools at the current primary stage of socialism.
(1) The status of modern educational technology has not really been implemented. Although in 1999, in-service teachers in primary and secondary schools received the training and assessment of modern educational technology twice on a large scale, but all localities failed to pay due attention to this work. As a result, they often pay attention to it during exams, study it during exams, ignore it after exams, and stop using it after exams. The leaders of the administrative department of education don't realize the position and function of modern educational technology, but only regard it as a task. They don't realize the great influence of modern educational technology on improving the quality of education and the quality of teachers. What they care about is the enrollment rate of college entrance examination this year, the popularization rate of high schools, and whether they can win more honors in inspection and evaluation and various formalism activities. As for promoting the use of modern educational technology, it is a matter for scientific research departments, because the problem of enrollment rate cannot be solved in a short time, and mistakes are easy to make. What is the significance of spending so much effort on the popularization and application of modern educational technology?
(2) The popularization and application of modern educational technology still lacks strong support. From the requirements of implementing modern educational technology, with the deepening of educational informatization project, the promotion, training and assessment of modern educational technology must have corresponding institutional settings, certain specialized personnel and necessary hardware facilities. Although there are audio-visual education halls dedicated to this work in various places, there are few personnel, backward equipment and lack of funds. Moreover, due to the apportionment of various routine work and temporary work, the normal effect of audio-visual education has been affected.
(3) Teachers' awareness of using modern educational technology is still at a low level. Judging from the present situation of the popularization and application of modern educational technology in schools, the understanding of modern educational media in various places remains at a low level. Teachers still widely use some traditional educational media, such as textbooks, graphic materials, blackboards, objects, models, wall charts and so on. However, modern educational media are rarely used, and even if they are used, they are only keen on some common media with simple operation and convenient production, such as slides and projections. I don't know why, most school teachers' understanding of modern educational technology is limited to some common media such as slides, projections, wall charts, models and so on. And they are only in open classes, evaluation classes, competition classes, etc. A few teachers regard the application of modern educational technology as the chip and highlight of classroom teaching, which is utilitarian and speculative and lacks the initiative and enthusiasm to use modern educational technology.
(4) There are still some misunderstandings in the application of modern educational technology. Teachers in many schools have a wrong understanding of modern educational technology. It seems that only computer-aided teaching and multimedia teaching can be regarded as real modern educational technology. Slides, projections, wall charts and other media teaching methods are outdated and do not meet the requirements of educational reform. Therefore, regardless of the actual teaching needs and implementation environment, they often blindly adopt the so-called multimedia education means (sometimes they ask computer teachers to help them make some courseware or simply use PowerPoint to make some slides in class, which is even a modern education means), which really misinterprets the original intention of modern educational technology. However, the leaders of some educational administrative departments and professional departments also regard whether to use computer-aided teaching and multimedia courseware as the main criteria to evaluate the teaching quality of a class, which seriously misleads teachers to popularize the concept of using modern educational technology.
2. Suggestions for further popularization and application of modern educational technology:
2 1 century is a highly information-based society, and it is also a society of talent competition, which needs more talents, faster talents and better talents. The traditional educational ideas, modes, modes, technologies and methods can no longer meet the needs of educational reform and development and the development of modern science and technology. If education is to face modernization, the world and the future, it is necessary to arm teachers and educators with modern educational technology. Therefore, to further vigorously promote the application of modern educational technology in schools at all levels, improve the quality and efficiency of education, and realize the sustainable development of education, which requires us to do:
The renewal of (1) concept is the key. "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first." The author believes that the key to the popularization and application of modern educational technology in schools is the thought of principals, especially the top leaders. Only the principal who truly considers the development of the school from the strategic height and long-term goal can correctly understand the important significance of modern educational technology in education and teaching. The development and application of modern educational technology in these schools must be vigorous and enthusiastic. On the other hand, if the principal's ideological problems are not solved, he is busy with the enrollment rate and income generation all day, and is indifferent to the development of modern educational technology, then it is difficult to improve the quality of education in this school, and it is also difficult to have the stamina for development. Even if a few teachers consciously promote the use of some modern educational technologies in classroom teaching, it will not become a big climate after all.
(2) Further popularizing modern educational technology knowledge is the starting point. As early as 1978, the leader pointed out: "It is an important way to develop education quickly, well and economically to formulate measures to accelerate the development of modern educational means such as television and radio, and we must pay full attention to it." With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, modern educational technology plays a more important role in expanding education supply, implementing quality education, improving teaching quality and school-running efficiency, and educational informatization shoulders a sacred historical mission. Judging from the actual situation, the training of modern educational technology can only be strengthened, not weakened. Teachers should master educational technology theory, instructional design theory and cognitive learning theory through modern educational technology training, and be familiar with various skills, media software programming technology and multimedia combination instructional design skills.
(3) We should correctly understand the "auxiliary" of the popularization and application of modern educational technology in teaching. Modern educational technology is not omnipotent. Traditional teaching mode and conventional teaching methods should still mainly appear in the school classroom. We mainly promote the use of multimedia and computer-aided teaching to complete the teaching tasks that traditional teaching and conventional teaching can't accomplish or improve teaching efficiency. In addition, it should be regarded as a direction of teaching reform. We should never forget its "auxiliary" and never "modernize for the sake of modernization". In some places, when evaluating excellent courses or competition courses, teachers are required to make multimedia courseware, otherwise they will not be evaluated, ignoring the initiative and enthusiasm of teachers in using modern educational technology, which is obviously not objective and realistic.
(4) In order to promote the application of modern educational technology, teachers must be provided with necessary technical support. The support here not only refers to the hardware aspects of various educational media, but also includes the support of soft environment, such as organizing teachers to learn advanced educational theories, advanced educational means and educational technologies, such as some multimedia production tools such as Authorware, 3DS4 and PowerPoint. And professional teachers had better learn some specialized software such as AUTOCAD and ORCAD. It is necessary to provide teachers with facilities and conditions for using various advanced media to assist teaching; Teachers should be encouraged to independently develop multimedia courseware and provide necessary funds and other support. Computers should not be hidden in the computer room, and teachers should not be given opportunities to use and learn. Teachers should be actively encouraged and supported to actively use various modern educational media. It should not be used by teachers only in open classes or evaluation classes. It is necessary to use various occasions and measures to encourage and help teachers to use various modern educational technologies to assist teaching and improve the quality and efficiency of teachers' use.
(5) To popularize and apply modern educational technology, we must pay attention to resource sharing. This is especially important today. With the rapid development of Internet, the relationship between education and network is getting closer and closer. For example, it takes a lot of time and energy for teachers to make a multimedia courseware. It is obviously unrealistic to make a multimedia courseware only by one person or several people. We should make good use of the wisdom and strength of the collective, work together and share the results; We should be good at finding useful information from campus network, Internet and other networks, so as to reduce duplication of work and futility. At the same time, students should be taught to use computers to acquire knowledge and information, and realize resource sharing and information sharing.
(6) Correctly treat the position and role of modern educational technology in classroom teaching. Modern educational technology plays an important role in expanding the scale of education, implementing quality education and improving teaching quality, but we should correctly understand the position and role of modern educational technology in classroom teaching, use modern educational media, apply modern educational concepts and adopt modern forms to control the educational process, so as to optimize the educational process and educational results, instead of pretending to follow the fashion. However, some school teachers have some outstanding problems in the popularization and application of modern educational technology, such as emphasizing the popularization and application of excellent courses in competition classes and ignoring the popularization and application in peacetime classrooms; Emphasize the demonstration of modern educational technology and ignore the realization of teaching objectives; Pay attention to computer demonstration, not to physical experiment; Pay more attention to multimedia production than conventional audio-visual media; Re-stimulate interest and ignore the development of thinking; Pay more attention to the complexity and systematization of multimedia courseware making, but ignore the leading role of teachers and the subjectivity of students; Emphasis on information output, light information feedback, etc. These problems in the popularization and application of modern educational technology deserve our attention and solution. They relate to a teacher's educational concept and his mastery of new educational theories and knowledge. It requires teachers to have the correct concept of popularizing and applying modern educational technology. Otherwise, they will not only fail to assist teaching, but will be counterproductive, affecting the quality and efficiency of classroom teaching.
3. Conclusion:
As we know, in the history of civilization, the development of teaching methods has experienced word of mouth (simple sound symbols) and traditional educational technology based on manual technology (language, characters, pictures, models, objects, etc.). ), and educational media technology based on machine technology (slides, photography, film and television, voice lab, etc. At present, we are stepping into what people call an information society (forming a computer network), and the arrival of the era of educational informatization based on information technology is bound to trigger a profound historical change.
Under the current situation, the popularization and application of modern educational technology is of great significance for comprehensively improving classroom teaching efficiency, reducing students' burden, and implementing network teaching and distance teaching. With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, the renewal of educational concepts, educational methods and means, and the modernization and diversification of educational concepts are bound to trigger a great revolution in educational methods.
