基于隐喻思维的电子书包系统建模与功能设计——以“佛山市禅城区电子书包”项目实践为例

System Modeling and Functional Design of eSchoolbag Based on Metaphoric Thinking:The “Smart School” Project in Chancheng District,Foshan,China

当前,电子书包已经从零散的试点应用逐步进入标准化、一体化的建设阶段。而现有关于电子书包的认识仍存在明显的局限,如主要是从经验角度出发,开展电子书包设计与应用;孤立看待电子书包,重点关注其装备工具效能,而未能从系统论角度将其置于宏观的教育传播系统加以审视。为此,笔者提出借助隐喻思维,重识电子书包。认为电子书包是泛在学习环境下的"个性化、自主式、开放性、可移动的数字化教育传播系统"。进而依据教育传播系统的构成要素及其互动关系分析,构建了电子书包生态系统模型,并结合项目实践详细阐述了其核心功能设计。本研究从认知方法论的角度对电子书包提出了新的研究思路与认知视角,希望对其标准化建设与应用提供借鉴。

Currently, the design and application of eSchoolbag is mainly based on experience, with a focus on its affordances instead of a systems approach to highlighting its roles in the macro system of educational communication. Hence, a study set out to propose understanding eSchoolbag by using metaphoric thinking. It is argued accordingly that eSchoolbag is an individualized, autonomous, open and mobile system of digital educational communication in the context of ubiquitous learning. An ecosystem model of eSchoolbag is constructed with description of its functional design. The research approach and cognitive perspective proposed by this study may be of relevance to standardization and application of eSchoolbag.
