追寻常态:从生态视角看信息技术与教育教学的融合

Creating a New Norm: an Ecological Perspective on Information Technology Integration in Education and Instruction

信息技术被认为正在革命性地影响并改变着当前中国的教育,然而调查表明目前信息技术在我国高中实际教学过程中应用程度并不高。该文引入生态学理论,认为信息技术与学习者/教师、知识、外部体制机制一同构成了教育信息技术的生态系统。该文以知识和技术之间的互动为例探讨了系统中不同元素的相互影响机制,通过比较某中学科技竞赛保送生的竞赛成绩与学业成绩,以及不同类型科技竞赛参赛者对信息技术在日常学习中的态度,揭示了针对经由不同知识生产模式生产出的知识所需要的教学策略及技术支撑上的不同。通过该例指出信息技术与其所在生态系统的契合度不高是造成信息技术与教育教学不能有效融合的主要原因,进而指出信息技术要真正对教育教学产生持续影响关键在于使技术能够有效嵌入生态、走向"常态"。

Information and technology are considered a revolutionary influence on current Chinese education. However, the research has shown the application of IT in education and instruction is low in high schools. In this research, ecological theory is used. IT, students and teachers, knowledge, external system and mechanisms constitute an ecological system in education information technology. In this research, the interaction between knowledge and technology serves as an example for exploring the mechanism of mutual influence of different elements in the ecosystem. The test scores, competition scores, competition types and IT learning manner of students who were recommended for university admission in high school have been compared. The results show that the knowledge from diverse knowledge production mode needs its own teaching strategies and technical support. This case indicates that the low adaptability degree of IT and its ecosystem is the main cause of inefficient integration of IT in education and instruction. Furthermore, this research illuminates the key to creating a new norm of IT Integration in Teaching is increasing the adaptability degree of IT.
