Some people say that multimedia and information superhighway are two technical levers to push mankind into the information age. The development of the Internet, especially the appearance of the Internet, has integrated the social cells (multimedia computers and people who master computer technology) in the information age, realized the networking of human wisdom, and thus created a brand-new network culture.
Many schools have established campus networks to meet the needs of the times, connected to the Internet, and started online teaching. What is the significance of online teaching? What impact will it have on school teaching? What should we pay attention to in developing online teaching at present? This paper intends to make a preliminary discussion on these issues.
First of all, developing online teaching is an inevitable choice for school education in the information age.
Education is an industry, and the quality of its products needs social testing. Without the social environment, there is no quality structure and training mode of talents. Similarly, network teaching is the product of the information age, and our discussion on network teaching must also proceed from the characteristics of the information age.
The characteristics of the information age can be summarized as follows:
1, "knowledge expansion", with a large amount of information;
2, the knowledge update speed is fast;
3. The competition for talents is fierce.
This puts forward higher requirements for education in the information society:
1, with divergent thinking, critical thinking and creative thinking, that is, creative talents with high innovation ability, rather than knowledge-based talents who only accept knowledge, remember and recite predecessors' experience, are not good at innovation and dare not innovate.
In fact, innovation is the "soul of progress" of any era, any country and any nation. In the information age, due to fierce competition, the requirement for innovative quality of talents is more urgent.
2. The trained talents should learn to recognize and have the ability to acquire, analyze and process information, that is, information ability. This is the most important knowledge structure and ability quality of talents needed in the information society.
In the information society, with abundant knowledge and rapid updating, learners must "learn selectively and continuously". It is impossible to learn some knowledge from teachers once and for all. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The wise choice should be to let students learn how to learn, how to find the knowledge they need in the ocean of information, and how to use various cognitive means to continuously acquire new knowledge so as to keep pace with the times.
3. Have a perfect lifelong education system.
The rapid updating of information requires learners to learn cognition on the one hand, and the society to build a perfect and convenient lifelong education system on the other hand, so that people can receive education freely and update their knowledge without being limited by time and space.
Education should greatly improve the quality and efficiency of teaching.
Similarly, due to the rich information, rapid updating and fierce competition for talents, education needs not only the quality structure of talents, but also the optimization of contents and methods, so that learners can receive education with high quality and efficiency.
To sum up, on the one hand, the information age puts forward special requirements for the quality structure of talents, the product of education; On the other hand, it also puts forward higher requirements for the level of education and the opportunity and convenience of education.
Because of computers and networks, we have entered the information society. At the same time, computers and networks also provide strong support for education in the information age.
Broadband network connects servers and multimedia computers and has the following characteristics:
6? 1 resource * * *
6? 1 Enjoy the service without time and space restrictions (the server has memory function, 24-hour service and the network extends in all directions).
6? 1 can transmit all kinds of media information quickly (broadband network and multimedia computer can cooperate to transmit all kinds of media information).
6? 1 multidirectional communication (multidirectional transmission of information)
After these characteristics are used in education, they can bring the following benefits to education:
1, * * * Enjoy educational information (resource appreciation) 2. Nothing 3. Limited by time and space (more educational opportunities 4. More convenient learning 5. Convenient realization of national education and lifelong education) 6. Multimedia multi-sensory stimulation effect 7. Super connection 8. Convenient communication 9. Convenient cooperation, consultation and help.
These are undoubtedly great support for education in the information age.
First of all, the characteristics of the network, such as large amount of information, convenient information transmission and strong interaction, are conducive to the development of discovery-based and collaborative teaching, and cultivate students' ability to ask and solve problems, thus contributing to the cultivation of students' innovative ability.
Secondly, the network is the most effective information acquisition tool in the information society. Carrying out network teaching is conducive to cultivating students' ability to obtain, analyze and process information by using the network, and to cultivating students' information ability.
Thirdly, developing online distance education is the most effective way for national education and lifelong education in the information age.
Finally, the huge information resources, superior multimedia functions and multi-directional interactive functions of the network make it possible to improve teaching quality and efficiency.
What we are facing is an era in which network services are improving day by day and education is highly informationized. Developing network teaching is the need of the times and the inevitable choice of school teaching.
Second, the new changes and new features brought by online teaching to school teaching:
1, campus digitalization
With the development of network teaching, the school will gradually form a digital campus environment relying on campus network. Including the collection, production and management system of teaching resources, teaching management system (including teaching plan, curriculum arrangement, student management, examination results audit, extension examination application, etc. ), electronic campus (including real-time teaching, on-demand, answering questions, homework submission system and digital library, etc. ) and so on.
2. Scientific teaching materials.
According to the teaching theory and communication theory, making full use of the multimedia and hyperconnection characteristics of the network, online teaching materials will tend to be multimedia and nonlinear; More importantly, online teaching materials are updated quickly and can keep up with the times. This will be beneficial to learners' meaning construction and the improvement of teaching quality.
3. Students' subjectivity
Students have changed from passive acceptance of knowledge to cognitive subject, from passive learning to active learning, from rote learning to learning with tasks to solve practical problems, and from gradual learning to self-paced learning. It is conducive to the cultivation of students' innovative ability and information ability.
Teachers' role will gradually change from imparting knowledge in traditional classroom teaching to organizer and assembler of information, and become guides, helpers and promoters of students' learning, not "saints in the pulpit", but close friends and "guides" of students.
4. Diversified forms of teaching organization.
It breaks through the traditional "class teaching system", which is a single teaching organization form, and makes individual learning, collaborative learning, classroom teaching, distance network teaching and other forms coexist, greatly improving the teaching quality and efficiency.
5. Rationalization of students' quality
The development of network teaching is conducive to cultivating learners' innovative ability and information ability, and making students' quality structure more scientific and reasonable.
6. Open schools.
The traditional "school" is a school confined within the fence. Radio and TV teaching has broken through this mode, and the development of network teaching, especially long-distance network teaching, has completely changed the concept of "school" and made the school an open, virtual and socialized school. It provides conditions for national education and lifelong education.
