面向新生代农民工的移动学习:现状、需求与发展策略

Mobile Learning for the New Generation of Off-farm Workers:Status Quo,Learning Needs and Development Strategies

新生代农民工是我国工业化、城市化进程不断加快的过程中出现的一个特殊的劳动群体,他们大部分文化水平不高,但有极力提升自身综合素质的要求,因而面向新生代农民工的教育需求与教育服务的矛盾日渐突出。本文基于调查研究,分析了新生代农民工的移动学习现状,提出通过移动学习促进新生代农民工规范化培训具有必要性和可行性,并探讨了面向新生代农民工的移动学习的实施策略。

The new generation of off-farm workers is a unique labor force emerging as a result of China's industrialization and urbanization.Although many of them are not well educated,they have motivation to enhance their qualities through continuing education.Hence,there exists an increasing tension between off-farm workers'demands for continuing education and the supply of such services.This study intended to examine the status quo of mobile learning for the new generation of off-farm workers and discus ways to deliver mobile learning to these cohorts.Using the instruments of questionnaire survey and interview,the study investigated the in-service training,ownership of mobile learning devices,and attitudes to cell-phone-based learning of off-farm workers from five manufacturing industries in Zhejiang,a costal province in Eastern China.As indicated in the findings,most of the new-generation off-farm workers owned cell phones which can be used for mobile learning.The training they received was mostly institutionally organized,usually in the traditional mode.They had positive attitudes to cell-phone-based learning.Their learning needs focused on upgrading their job-related skills.
