教师应用技术进行教学变革的过程性研究——以参与课题研究中的三名新加坡生物教师为例

A Context-rich Analysis on Three Biology Teachers' Using ICT in Transforming Teaching in a Research Project

论文以新加坡一所中学三位生物教师为例,报告了一项有关教师如何看待和应用一款计算机建模软件BioLogica进行教学变革的过程性研究,考察与分析了教师个体因素与外部环境因素对教师技术应用行为的影响过程。研究表明,创新本身特性、教师的技术应用态度、已有的教学经验、实践共同体和管理者、尝试新教学的预期代价、教育评价制度等都会影响教师的技术采纳和应用表现。研究最后提出了一些如何促进教师采纳和成功应用技术的启示。
