小学生探究性学习实验研究

A Report on the Experiment of Inquiry Learning for Primary Pupils

探究性学习是一种课程,更是一种学习方式。随着新课程的推广与发展,探究性学习将不断向学科课程渗透,成为各学科基本学习方式之一。在目前的实践中,探究性学习往往被狭义地理解为在教师指导下,以类似科学研究的方式去获取知识,或把探究性学习仅局限于活动课程,这样就不可能全面揭示学生尤其是小学生探究性学习的实质。研究结果表明:提问题、找答案、共分享的探究性学习及其基本操作程序,比较适合我国课堂教学的实际,不仅能有效激发学生探究性学习的兴趣,而且能提高学生探究学习的能力与学习效果,同时也是促进教师专业发展的有效途径。

The Inquiry learning is both a course and a way of learning. Along with the popularization and development of the new curriculum, the Inquiry learning will be infiltrating into disciplinary courses and becoming one of the basic learning methods. In current practice, however, the Inquiry learning is often interpreted in a narrow sense. For example, such learning is understood as the way to obtain knowledge by using those methods similar to scientific research methods or such learning is confined to activity courses. Obviously, the above understanding cannot comprehensively reveal the essence of the Inquiry learning for students and pupils. Results of relevant studies show that the Inquiry learning should include such basic procedures as raising questions, looking for answers and sharing findings. Being suitable for the realities of class teaching in China, this kind of learning can effectively arouse pupils' interest in learning, enhance their ability to learn and improve the learning effect. In addition, this kind of learning is also an effective way to promote teachers' professional development.
