How to Cultivate and Improve Teachers' Information Literacy
In the past, modern information technology and network technology have penetrated into all aspects of education, completely changing the traditional education and teaching activities. In order to adapt to the changes brought by the network age, teachers must change their roles and constantly improve their information literacy. But how to cultivate and improve teachers' information literacy as soon as possible, so that teachers can quickly adapt to the new situation of educational informatization, shoulder the heavy responsibility of talent training in the 2 1 century, and actively participate in this educational reform. This is an urgent problem that we need to consider at present, making it the core element of quality education at present. First, the necessity of teachers' good information literacy 1. The requirements of the information age, the role of teachers has changed in the information age. Teachers are no longer the main body of the teaching process, but have changed from a single knowledge giver to a builder of learning modules, an organizer of learning activities and a provider of information resources. The development of information and the renewal of knowledge require teachers to have information literacy. With the application of multimedia technology in the classroom, the introduction of computer network into subject teaching and the wide application of information technology in the field of education, the traditional educational theories and concepts, teaching strategies and models, teaching methods and means are undergoing profound changes. The teaching mode of "one textbook with one mouth" which has been inherited for many years is slowly disappearing, and it is replaced by a new teaching mode under the multimedia network environment. Therefore, teachers can devote more energy to education and scientific research, and information literacy becomes more important. 2. Requirements of Curriculum Reform At present, the new round of curriculum textbook reform regards improving students' information literacy as part of the goal of quality education. The curriculum plan for primary and secondary schools in Shanghai proposes to strengthen the organic integration of curriculum and information technology. In the whole process of curriculum design, implementation, evaluation and management, information technology should be regarded as the source of information, the platform for communication, the cognitive tool and the means of management, so as to comprehensively improve the informatization level of curriculum and students' information literacy. Therefore, teachers should first strengthen their own information literacy and have innovative consciousness and ability, so as to better guide students and comprehensively implement and promote quality education. 3. Requirements of Information Technology and Curriculum Integration Information technology and curriculum integration require the integration of information technology and subject teaching, the ability of information collection, judgment, screening, sorting, processing, transmission and expression, the development of thinking, learning to learn, independent exploration, cooperation and exchange, behavioral norms and social responsibilities in the information society. This requires teachers to use information technology as a cognitive tool to obtain information and solve problems, so as to optimize the teaching process and realize the organic integration of information technology and subject courses. Teachers' information literacy refers to the information literacy, information knowledge and information ability that teachers should possess according to the information society environment and its teaching development requirements. In the information technology environment, we can summarize teachers' information literacy as "technology" and "consciousness" 1. Information technology: master information technology knowledge skillfully and use various information dissemination tools to obtain information. Including: (1) basic operation ability: understand the basic knowledge of information technology and have the basic knowledge of operating system. (2) Writing ability: I can use word processing software to write, and I have preliminary multimedia writing ability and webpage making ability. (3) If you can browse the Internet and download online graphic materials, you can download and install application software correctly. (4) Being able to organize and edit information according to one's own purpose, and processing information through one's own thinking, using multimedia to express, displaying, publishing, teaching, communicating and discussing with information technology. 2. Information consciousness: it is not the content of specific information technology, but the elements of teachers' attitude and understanding of information; But this is very important, and it is a conceptual problem in information literacy; Only the renewal and establishment of ideas is a fundamental and decisive change. Including: (1) Get information quickly: Confirm what information you need to get to solve the problem, and formulate several strategies to get information. (2) Processing information: It can effectively integrate information and creatively solve various problems in work and study, and there are often innovations in work. (3) Ability to use information tools to solve practical problems: I have the desire to actively learn and use various information tools in teaching and can put them into action; Good at applying information technology to solve problems; Can actively and correctly guide students to use information tools and pay attention to the cultivation of students' information literacy. (4) Information moral cultivation: we should have the ability to distinguish useful information from useless information, health information from dirty information, and resist the temptation and pollution of bad information on the Internet; Have the responsibility and obligation to teach students the ability to use information correctly and reasonably. Among them, "information consciousness" is particularly important. Teachers only have a strong sensitivity to information and the ability to actively acquire, analyze and process information about education and teaching. Only in this way can teachers' information quality be continuously improved and teachers' information technology be developed by leaps and bounds. Third, ways to improve teachers' information literacy 1. Schools should train teachers in a planned and targeted manner. The application of computer in teaching has been paid more and more attention. How to use the computer as a tool can organize teachers to train in a series of courses such as computer basics, application of office software, use of courseware development platform, use of animation software and application of modern educational technology at the initial stage. We can first take young and middle-aged teachers as a breakthrough, focus on training, and combine point with face. Secondly, through training, we should pay attention to the renewal of teachers' concepts, cultivate the concepts contained in information literacy: data processing and use process, resource-based learning and project-based learning, establish the concepts of lifelong learning and digital learning, and cultivate teachers' critical and creative thinking. In the process of training, teachers can find new theoretical articles about information literacy on the Internet, and write their own learning experiences through teachers' exchanges and discussions. At the same time, relevant experts are invited to make relevant counseling reports, focusing on the principles of curriculum integration, such as highlighting the theme, module combination, relevant guidance, reflection and sublimation, highlighting the application of modern educational technology, highlighting the reform of curriculum textbooks, highlighting curriculum integration, and highlighting information technology education research. Thirdly, the training of information technology should be persistent, and the development of information technology is constantly changing. In order to adapt teachers to the development of informatization, we must always pay attention to teachers' informatization training. However, we should avoid paying too much attention to technical training, mainly learning animation and making web pages and courseware. It rarely involves specialized training in knowledge and skills such as purposefully collecting and obtaining information, screening and sorting information, and publishing information for communication. 2. To build a stage for teachers' information-based teaching, the school should not only work hard on teachers' technical training, but also let teachers master the teaching skills, teaching level and teaching results of using modern technology and achieve breakthrough development. This cannot be achieved by one or two trainings, and it must be achieved through long-term study and practice. Therefore, schools should create a good information-based teaching platform for teachers. While paying attention to the construction of information hardware environment, teachers are actively encouraged to participate in various information technology teaching evaluations, or schools regularly organize teachers' information technology teaching evaluations and various information technology competitions, and at the same time encourage and supervise teachers' daily information teaching and information work. Let teachers feel the integration of information technology and disciplines, not to cope with several open classes and competitions, so that teachers' information literacy can not be improved, but only through continuous application can teachers improve their literacy and feel something, which is conducive to the development of school informatization. 3. Schools should create an environment for teachers to cultivate their own information literacy. At present, many schools are equipped with corresponding modern teaching facilities and have built campus networks. Multi-functional network classrooms and electronic reading rooms have been opened, and all computers in the school can be networked. At the same time, the school also set up a network center, purchased a large number of software and teaching materials, and gradually established its own teaching resource library; At the same time, explore the strategies and modes of inquiry learning under the network environment, carry out experimental research on the integration of information technology and subject courses, and promote the improvement of all teachers' information literacy. This requires teachers to have the consciousness and ability to learn and use information consciously. Teachers should first cultivate themselves to adapt to online reading, from text reading to hypertext reading; From simple text reading to multimedia electronic reading; Efficient retrieval reading based on network. Teachers should feel that online reading will become an important means for teachers to acquire knowledge, conduct teaching and scientific research, and an important way to cultivate teachers' information literacy. Secondly, teachers should be used to writing on computers. Writing on the computer is not only convenient to edit, modify and save, but also very important to realize the integration of online reading and writing, that is, to use the rich multimedia resources on the Internet to help writing. Of course, we should also master the multimedia writing of hypertext structure. Such as teaching courseware, electronic slides, and the establishment of personal teaching websites. This is conducive to improving teachers' sense of accomplishment in applying information technology. Thirdly, teachers should study in the multimedia room or computer room and take the initiative to attend classes. Dare to take classes in the multimedia room or computer room is a watershed in the process of improving teachers' information literacy. For teachers, the application of information technology in teaching does not require the use of information technology from beginning to end in a class, nor does it mean a high technical level. Teachers should learn while using, and gradually master and improve. Finally, teachers should always cultivate themselves to use computers to handle daily affairs. As long as you can do things with computers, try to let computers do them, such as student performance statistics, telephone number management, family library management, and helping children with their studies. Only in this way can teachers adapt to the information environment of the school through their own efforts and self-cultivation, thus strengthening their own information quality. 4. Teachers should cultivate the ability to choose information reasonably. The highest level of teachers' information literacy is information application. It is the application of information to solve problems in study life and even work, so as to cultivate teachers' advanced thinking ability and problem-solving ability, especially the application of information means to improve the quality of education. Teachers' information awareness and information skills can be reflected in the practice of subject learning. Teachers' ability to choose information reasonably should not always pay attention to mechanically copying ready-made teaching courseware, which can not adapt to teachers' teaching ideas. Teachers should consciously pay attention to the teaching materials in these teaching courseware. At present, there are many teaching-related materials in Chinese teaching courseware in Shanghai, and teachers can choose them appropriately according to their own teaching needs. For these materials, it can be said that it provides teachers with a lot of room to play. Teachers only need to deal with it properly, and they can well embody their personalized teaching ideas, which is the development trend of information-based teaching in the future. Teachers don't need to be computer experts, but they need to have certain information processing ability, and pay more attention to teachers' information awareness and information screening ability. In addition, teachers should be able to actively organize students to carry out online inquiry learning according to the requirements of teaching, so as to improve and cultivate students' information literacy.
