基于建构主义理念的信息检索课教学尝试

The Teaching Experiment of the Information Retrieval Course(IRC) Based on the Constructivism

建构主义是西方教育心理学的一种教学理论。该理论强调学习的主动性,认为学习是学习者主动建构意义的过程。基于建构主义理论,对信息检索与利用课的课堂教学设计、教学过程和教学方法进行了探索与思考,指出信息时代教育必须以新的教学方式进行才能使学生学有所用,建构主义教学模式应成为信息检索课的主要教学模式。

The constructivism is a teaching theory of the western educational psychology. This theory lays stress on the activity of the learning, holding that the learning is a course in which the learners construct the significance actively. Based on the theory of the constructivism, this paper probes into and considers about the classroom teaching design, the teaching procedures and the teaching methods of the IRC, and points out that the education in the new times must be conducted by using the new teaching mode for the purpose of making the students learn useful knowledge, and the constructivist teaching mode should become the major teaching mode of the IRC.
