What changes in teaching and learning are being brought about by information technology

At present, many schools are integrating communal educational resources to facilitate teaching and learning use and to unify management so as to improve teaching quality. At present, most of the micro-courses abroad are developed by teachers, parents and students*** with the same participation in the development of learning programs, it is a kind of interactive learning process in which teachers and students*** participate in the same discussion. It is generally to micro teaching video as the main carrier, the use of the Internet platform for about 10 hours of teaching. It is a miniature online video course designed and developed for a certain subject knowledge (such as key points, difficulties, doubts, test points, etc.) or teaching links (such as learning activities, themes, experiments, tasks, etc.) and a situational, supportive of a variety of learning styles. It has the following characteristics: prominent theme, strong relevance; micro-video as the core, diverse resources; real learning scenarios, strong interactivity; focus on teaching design, suitable for independent learning; simple production technology, flexible and convenient to use. It breaks the traditional school classroom teaching mode and realizes personalized and targeted teaching. At present, some of China's primary and secondary schools to carry out the "flipped classroom" teaching experiment was born in this context. It involves the production of courseware, teaching concepts, teaching methods, teaching evaluation and many other aspects of the need for information technology and the deep integration of curriculum teaching.

The form of teaching organization is changing

"Education cloud" makes the traditional school education has a new model. Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, is one of the first pilot counties of the "National Education Cloud" program. The "Education Cloud" program has created borderless schools and net-connected schools. For example, in the classroom teaching innovation observation activities under the "Education Cloud" environment held in Dongyang on June 24, 2014, the elementary school language network teaching and research activities, the Hengdian Town Central Primary School art flip classroom, the Hengdian No. 2 Primary School English synchronous classroom, and the Hengdian Town Central Primary School English synchronous classroom were held in Dongyang on June 24, 2014. Classroom, Hengdian two small English synchronous classroom at the same time, in the network environment, the students of three schools to listen to the same class, which is unimaginable in the past. On that day, more than 100 students from Hengdian Central Primary School, Hengdian No. 2 Primary School and Hengdian No. 3 Primary School listened to the lesson of "Bees" taught by Zhou Huahua at the same time at three venues. The three schools have formed a network of schools and classes through the Education Cloud, and the students attended classes in both virtual and real classrooms at the same time. Teachers observing the lesson can use the interactive platform to discuss or comment on relevant classroom teaching issues. The digital dissemination of education and teaching supported by "education cloud" breaks down the boundaries of time and space, allowing teachers from different schools to conduct integrated teaching and research, leading to the emergence of borderless schools and interconnected schools. At the same time, in order to take students as the center of learning, some schools in China began to try to "go class system" teaching, the traditional unchanging solid class model has also been broken. It can be said that the traditional mode of teaching organization is undergoing a profound change.

The way teachers teach is changing

In the age of information technology, if teachers still flip through the textbook, look at the teaching reference book, and then pick up the light to prepare for the lesson, insisting on "a piece of chalk and a mouth, a piece of blackboard and a book" classroom teaching method, I am afraid that can not adapt to the development of the times, and can not even survive in the current school. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in the past, and I've seen it in the present.

In the traditional education model, the teacher is mainly responsible for imparting knowledge in the school. He usually analyzes the teaching materials and the learning situation to prepare for the lesson, then teaches the knowledge or skills in the classroom, guides the students to learn, and then corrects the students' homework or counsels the students after the lesson. Although teachers usually participate in training or further education, they mainly use their university-level knowledge as the basis. In a relatively stable traditional society, teachers usually change their state of being less often.

Contemporary classroom teaching reform requires teachers to be proficient in information technology and need to have the ability to manage education and teaching in the context of network technology. Basic education in the information society is characterized by the socialization of education and the living of learning, and students' learning needs to be targeted, personalized, differentiated and effective, which all require teachers to change their status quo. Teachers must shift from being the pedagogue who transmits knowledge and the referee of students' learning to being the helper who inspires students and the mentor who guides them to learn independently. Today's teachers should have the following abilities: First, they should learn new knowledge, have new concepts and new thinking that keep pace with social development, and have the ability to master new information technology. The second is the ability to make micro-teaching. How to select appropriate knowledge points in the teaching materials and film it into a micro-lesson of about 10 minutes requires a combination of teaching ability and digital technology. Third is the ability to interact with students, parents and other teachers online, i.e., the ability to gather all parties in the virtual space to instruct students. Fourth, the ability to control the teaching of the curriculum in the new situation. For example, how to guide students to learn micro-lessons, how to make students think and acquire knowledge points in micro-lessons, designing students' guided learning programs and task sheets, and so on.

The way students learn is changing

The traditional way of learning for primary and secondary school students in China is test-centered. Learning in school to the classroom as the center, the teacher became the spokesman for knowledge, there is a unified textbook, learning content and learning progress, the teacher to explain the main, the students to listen to lectures in class, do homework after class, and then participate in the tests and exams, and usually in the study of the study also focus on developing their test-taking ability. One of its disadvantages is that it does not set learning goals according to the actual situation of students, and lacks communication between teachers and students, students and students, students and parents at all levels, which means that students can not carry out interactive self-study as they wish. The second disadvantage is the lack of personalized learning programs, poor relevance, not based on the students' existing level of knowledge and learning ability as the standard, can not strongly promote learning enthusiasm, easy to produce poor students.

Whether it is teacher-centered, "students must maintain a state of respect for the teacher", or student-centered, "the child is the sun, the teacher is the moon, the teacher must stand behind the students", the students' traditional mode of learning are in the The traditional mode of learning for students is to study in the same place - the classroom, to listen to the same teacher, and to learn the same content with the same textbook. This way of learning is not conducive to the development of students' personalities. When a teacher faces dozens of students in a classroom, individualized teaching is bound to be an empty phrase. It is difficult for students to learn selectively in such a classroom. Various new classrooms under the background of information technology, for example, in the application of micro-teaching video for learning, students can choose their own learning time and place, already familiar with the understanding of the content can be fast-forwarded or skipped, did not understand the content can be watched a few more times, they did not figure out or can not understand can be online to ask the teacher, but also with other students to communicate ... ...This type of instruction will effectively change the way students learn, and the drawbacks of the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to learning will be eliminated.
