网络课程学习活动的设计研究

Design and Study of Learning Activity for Web-based Course

目前国内众多教育机构已经开发出了大量网络课程,但已有研究与实践均表明,现有的网络课程对学习活动的设计缺乏针对性和有效的方法。因此,本文以一门面向成人在职学生的网络课程的设计与开发为例,探讨网络课程中学习活动的设计方法和策略,希望能为网络课程设计者提供借鉴。本研究主要采用行动研究法。研究结果表明,恰当的学习活动和学习策略的使用可以很好地促进学生的深层次学习;同时,学习活动的设计和学习策略的使用,需要根据不同学习者的特征和不同课程内容特点进行选择,对学习活动的设计研究将带来网络课程暨网络教育质量的提高。

With the new development of e-learning in China, many web-based courses have been developed by a lot of education organizations. But all of these courses are short of pertinence and effective method to the design of learning activity. This paper aims to discuss the design method of learning activity of web-based course and the use of learning strategy according to the case of the design of the learning activity, for the reference of designer of the learning activity. This study uses action research as the main research method. To sum up, the effective design of learning activity of web-based course and the use of learning strategy can promote deep study of the students. Due to the complex characters of Chinese distance learners and the diversity of different subjects, the design of learning activities and using of learning strategies need to be enriched. Moreover, the study of web-based course design and development will improve the quality of e-learning remarkably.
