What is the difference between distance education and traditional teaching methods in Sichuan Agricultural University?

1. The theoretical basis is different. The theoretical basis of network teaching is constructivism learning theory. Constructivist learning theory holds that students are the main body of the learning process and the active constructors of meaning. Knowledge is not acquired by lectures, but by learners through active meaning construction in certain situations. One of the main theoretical foundations of traditional teaching is Ausubel's theory of "learning and teaching". Ausubel thinks that teaching theory should consider the problems in teaching practice. The content of his theory of "learning and teaching" mainly involves the theory of "meaningful acceptance of learning", the teaching strategy of "advance organizer" and the theory of "motivation".

2. Different teaching modes. The main factors of network teaching mode are: teachers, students, teaching content, teaching media and teaching support platform. In this teaching mode, teachers choose teaching content according to the requirements of the syllabus, students' characteristics and students' cognitive basis, and then design and compile multimedia teaching software, network courseware or design and develop online courses, and publish them to course center. Students connect to course center through computer network, register and log in, and choose courses to study. Teachers and students, students and students can communicate with each other through email and BBS. The main factors of traditional teaching mode are: teachers, students, teaching content and teaching media. In this teaching mode, teachers choose teaching content according to the requirements of the syllabus, students' characteristics and students' cognitive basis, and then spread it to students through natural coding, such as oral lectures and blackboard writing. Students accept the teacher's explanation, blackboard writing and other natural coding content, carry out meaningful processing and acquire knowledge. In this teaching mode, there is timely interaction between teachers and students, but it is weak in time, quantity and degree.

3. Different management systems. Traditional teaching is organized by the school according to the national plan and funds. Teaching tasks, specialty settings, tuition standards and textbook prices are all under the unified management of the state and purely planned system. Compared with traditional teaching methods, network teaching has profound changes in management system. First of all, the teaching process is all presented on the network; Secondly, the country is completely open to online teaching, and schools need to organize and implement it according to their own market ability.
