电子书包应用效果评价研究进展述评及反思

Study on the Research Progress and Prospect of Application Evaluation of E-schoolbag

电子书包应用研究是当前国内探索信息技术变革教育方式有效途径的重要实践领域,但电子书包的试点应用在实践中却饱受争议。电子书包试点单位在审慎地推进电子书包试点的同时,应当科学全面地评价其应用效果,让利益相关者各方对电子书包有系统深入的了解。基此,利用文献研究法和案例研究法,通过对国内外电子书包试点应用项目和应用效果研究的已有成果的综合分析,就电子书包应用效果评价的内容框架、研究方法和试验设计等问题发现,电子书包的应用效果评价内容框架应包括教学变革、学生发展、教师发展和学校发展等维度;问卷法、测验法、座谈/访谈法、课堂观察法、内容分析法等数据收集和分析方法是电子书包应用效果评价过程中常用的研究方法;现阶段在评价电子书包应用项目效果时应采用将实证主义和自然主义两种范式结合的混合研究设计和分布式研究实施方案,让不同研究主体从不同的视角对各自关注的问题展开综合研究。最后对电子书包应用研究中存在的问题进行了反思。

The research on e-schoolbag application is an important field on exploring of technology transforming education in China. However, e-schoolbag pilot application encountered controversy in practice. Therefore, it is an urgent task to do research on the evaluation of e-schoolbag application. This research, with literature research method and case study method, was conducted to study on the application effect evaluation of e-schoolbag, including its content framework, research methods and experimental design and the corresponding strategies after the comprehensive analysis of e-schoolbag pilot application and its application effect. The find-ings suggest that the evaluation framework of e-schoolbag application effect should include four aspects such as teaching reform, the development of skills for 21 st century students and the promotion of their academic achievement, the teachers＇ professional development, and the school transformation. In most of the evaluations, researchers have employed many research methods, such as questionnaires, test, interviews and focus groups, classroom observations, content analysis, video study and etc.. Both positivistic paradigm and naturalistic paradigm should be used in current research, so that different researchers can study their concerned problems from different perspectives. Finally, the reflection on the existing problems of application research of e-schoolbag is proposed by the author.
