数字化教学资源在幼儿园STEM教育中的应用评价——基于幼儿园教师的视角

The Primary Evaluation on Digital Teaching Resources in STEM Education in Kindergartens—Based on the Perspective of Kindergarten Teachers

为探索数字化教学资源如何更好地服务幼儿园STEM教育的实际教学,以某数字教学资源为例在试点幼儿园中进行应用,并就应用效果对幼儿教师进行问卷调查和半结构式访谈。问卷结果发现数字化教学资源与传统教学方式相比具有较多的优势,访谈发现优势包括符合美学需求、便利教育教学、设计科学系统性、满足教学对象兴趣点、注重活动性学习、提升教学效果、具备动态情境性、教学互动性强和内容符合教学需要等。然而这类资源也存在灵活适用性不足、配套操作材料使用不便、过渡拓展类教学环节不足、交互界面有待优化、不够贴近生活和界面设计太花哨等局限。为此,提出了幼儿园STEM教育数字教学资源的可用性评价体系,为幼儿教师如何更好地选择和应用这类资源提出了相应建议。

To explore how digital teaching resources can better serve the actual teaching of STEM education in kindergartens,a certain digital teaching resource was used as an example to be applied in a pilot kindergarten,and a study on the application effects were con⁃ducted through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with preschool teachers.The questionnaire results showed that digital teaching resources take an advantageous position over traditional teaching method.Based on the interview results,those advantages mainly include meeting aesthetic needs,facilitating education and teaching,using scientific and systematic design,meeting the interest points of teaching objects,paying attention to learning in activity,improving teaching effect,as well as having dynamic situationality,strong teaching interaction and contents in line with teaching needs.However,such resources also have limitations such as insufficient flexibility and applicability,inconvenient use of supporting operation materials,insufficient transitional expansion teaching links,unop⁃timized interactive interface,and not close enough to life.This study put forward a usability evaluation system of digital teaching resources for STEM education in kindergarten,and proposed corresponding suggestions for preschool teachers on how to better select and apply such resources.
