Issue-Based Learning Websites: The Integration of IT into Research- Based Learning

信息技术与课程整合是教育信息化领域中的重要组成部分,信息技术与研究性学习整合于专题学习网站是信息技术与课程整合的新视点。本文从信息技术与研究性课程整合的基本要求出发,对信息技术与研究性课程整合于专题学习网站的优势、网站开发的理论基础及专题网站设计的基本思路几方面进行了深入的探讨。

Information technology (IT) and curriculum integration are two important components of education in an information era. The integration of IT into research-based learning in issue-based learning websites offers a new perspective on IT and curriculum integration. This paper first examines: the basic requirements for the integration of IT into research-based curriculum integration; the advantages of this integration for issue-based learning websites; and the theoretical foundation of the design of such websites. Based on this discussion, this paper then analyzes how to design issue-based learning websites with this integration. To put it simply, with the assistance of IT, students and teachers first formulate a framework for the website and its contents, then organize and examine relevant resources by applying research-based learning, and finally generate a structured issue-based learning website. Both students and teachers can use this website as a base to expand their research-based learning, refine their IT competence, extend their cognitive structures and enhance the information and content on the website. Throughout the research process, IT is integrated organically into different components of research-based learning.
