“能够”、“方便”、“责任”:多媒体教学批判

Capability,Convenience and Responsibility:A Critical Analysis of Mutimedia-assisted Instruction

多媒体教学的功能不仅在于它"能够"做什么,而更在于它为教学提供了怎样的"方便"。前者导引了多媒体教学研究的发展,后者则决定了多媒体教学实践的走向。为深化多媒体教学,研究者需更加关注如何使自己的研究方便多媒体教学的开展,实践者需更加关注怎样才能使自身的多媒体教学质量得到提高,并借以建立起研究与实践的良性循环。相应地,管理者应将着力点放在如何方便多媒体教学的开展上。

Multimedia-assisted instruction functions not only for what it can do, but what convenience it can create. While the former function directs the development of research in multimedia-assisted instruction, the latter one determines how the multimedia-assisted instruction is to move forward. In reality, researchers and supervisors often show too much concerns with the former function. On the other hand, the practitioners are liable to depend too much on the latter one. As a result, the effect of multimedia-assisted instruction can not satisfy the public anticipation, additionally considering the lack of necessary communication between the three parties. To tackle this problem, the researchers should adapt their research to help facilitate the practices, and the practitioners should give more emphasis on the instructional effect. In this way, a positive relationship between researchers and practitioners could be established. The supervisors also need to change in order to held the implementation of multimedia-assisted instruction.
