ICT支持的农村成人教育案例研究

ICT-supported Adult Education in Rural Areas:Case Studies

立足农民素质提高、办好农村成人教育,既是我国终身教育体系的重要组成部分,又是解决"三农"问题、发展农村经济的重要途径。应用信息技术开展农村成人教育,可以有效克服教学实施过程中学生多、地域广的困难,实现低成本、高效率的优质资源传输与共享,扩大农村成人受教育机会。本文以项目实施时间跨度长、覆盖范围广I、CT应用程度高为依据,在全国范围内选取了农村党员干部现代远程教育工程、全国新型农民科技培训规划、"一村一名大学生计划"三个农村成人教育典型案例,从项目背景、实施主体、信息技术应用等方面入手对三个项目的ICT应用情况进行分析,探索ICT支持农村成人教育的经验、成果和问题。研究表明,不同农民成人教育的实施主体充分利用ICT各显优势,在ICT支持下,提供了多层次、多类型的农村成人教育,而ICT在农村成人教育中的角色是多样的,可以是平台搭建手段、资源建设与传输工具、学习内容、学习工具乃至市场贸易工具。

Offering adult education programmes to enhance farmers' qualities is an integral component of China's lifelong education system as well as an important approach to solving acute problems existing in rural areas and developing rural economy.ICT-supported adult education in rural areas can bring about such benefits as enrolling large numbers of learners,covering a wide variety of areas,reducing costs,transmitting and sharing quality learning resources,and increasing farmers' access to education.Drawing on three long-duration,wide coverage,and ICT-supported projects,i.e.,the Modern Distance Education Programme for Rural Party Cadres,the National Science and Technology Training Programme for Farmers in the New Era,and the One-College-Student-for-One-Village Programme,the article reports on the programme backgrounds,programme sponsors,and ICT application with the aim of summarizing 'best practice' in ICT-supported adult education for farmers.Research findings show that supported by ICT,a variety of courses of different levels are available and that ICT plays multiple roles in these programmes,including learning platform construction,learning resources development and transmission,and learning tools.ICT itself can be the subject matter as well as serve as a gateway to marketing agricultural produces.
