Usages and impacts of the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in elementary classrooms: case study of Swedish municipality schools     

Johannes S. Sahlin  Antony Tsertsidis  M. Sirajul Islam 《Interactive Learning Environments》2017,25(5):561-579

During recent years, many schools have started to implement information and communication technologies (ICTs)-based learning devices (such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and active boards) in the classroom settings in order to increase learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to find which activities and outcomes are evident in the usages of computing devices and how those devices aid elementary-level students in their learning activities. The study includes five overt participant observations at some schools in a Swedish municipality including unstructured interviews and explains the findings through activity theory and the Alberta Education Framework for Student Learning . The major activities found were dealing with the (1) educational application assignments, (2) storytelling, (3) report writing and (4) practical interaction assignments. We concluded that ICTs aid students in becoming more concentrated, focus driven, engaged and amused, thus learning becomes more interesting.  相似文献   

Lessons from ‘a really useful engine’™: using Thomas the Tank Engine™ to examine the relationship between play as a leading activity,imagination and reality in children’s contemporary play worlds     

Susan Edwards 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2011,41(2):195-210

This paper examines Vygotsky’s conception of play as a leading activity in the contexts of children’s contemporary play worlds. Commencing with an examination of the relationship between leading activities and the development of psychological functions, the paper moves into a consideration of the relationship between imagination and reality as a basis for play as a leading activity. The relationship is considered in the context of current discussion regarding the sociology of childhood and the sociology of consumerism to explore the ways in which children’s experiences in digital–consumerist contexts possibly shape learning and development. Drawing on the example of the highly popular character Thomas the Tank Engine?, the paper examines the implications associated with understanding play as a leading activity within contemporary contexts, and how these might relate to existing perspectives on play, pedagogy and curriculum in early childhood education settings.  相似文献   

Expansive learning across workplace boundaries     

Hannele Kerosuo  Hanna Toiviainen 《International Journal of Educational Research》2011,50(1):48-54

The article analyses a collaborative effort of learning across workplace boundaries in a regional learning network of South Savo, Finland. The focus is on the Forum of In-house Development in the network. Our objective is to highlight a dialectical approach to boundaries that draws from the ideas of cultural-historical activity theory. Expansive transformation may be explored through the expansion of socio-spatial and instrumental-developmental boundaries. This is shown through four transitional episodes that reveal the expansion of the object of learning. We argue that crossing the socio-spatial boundary of a workplace is not a sufficient condition, but that new meditational means created at the instrumental-developmental boundary are needed to expand workplace learning and development in challenging and complex regional contexts.  相似文献

高等师范院校创先争优活动长效机制建设的思考     

杜文丽 《齐齐哈尔师范高等专科学校学报》2011,(3):20-21

创先争优活动是党中央集中力量抓好的几件大事之一。高等师范院校作为具有特殊性的组织,开展好创先争优活动具有更为特殊的意义。由于其自身的特殊性,创先争优活动应当着力于长效机制的建设,着力以创先争优推动高校人才培养、学术研究等方面的建设。高校创先争优活动长效机制的建设,应主要从提高思想认识、加强基层党组织建设和深入实践等方面入手。  相似文献   

顶岗实习生开展研究性学习活动的方式——兼述农村教师学习共同体     

李秋石  夏晓烨 《河北师范大学学报(教育科学版)》2011,13(8)

顶岗实习生在农村开展研究性学习活动必然会迅速提升其教学实践水平。随着改革的推进,农村本土教师、农村教育硕士和顶岗实习生形成农村教师学习共同体是在农村学校开展研究性学习活动的组织保障。农村基础教育课程改革与农村教师学习共同体的专业发展中,需要转变农村教师学习共同体的学习观念。基于农村课程资源的研究性学习方式的实施可以丰富、活化农村学习共同体对研究性学习方式的理解,从而改变农村学生的单一学习结构。在农村实施研究性学习方式有不同的途径,可以采用多样的活动类型。  相似文献   

一个被忽略的教育群体——宋代民间士人的教育活动     

张建东 《河北师范大学学报(教育科学版)》2011,13(3)

教育活动是直接以促进人的有价值发展为目的的具体活动的总称.两宋期间,由于文化繁荣、科举兴盛等原因,产生了宋代民间士人这一独特群体.他们中的大多数迫于生计,主动或被动地选择了教授生徒这一职业,部分有德行技艺者还对地方教化产生了影响.研究他们的教育活动状况,有助于我们重新审视这一群体对宋代教育和社会教化所做的贡献,并给予他们相对客观公正的评价.  相似文献   

幼儿歌唱活动的反思与探究     

杨丽华 《昆明师范高等专科学校学报》2007,29(1):105-108

幼儿歌唱活动是幼儿艺术教育领域的一个重要组成部分,它从幼儿歌唱的角度促进幼儿情感、态度、能力、知识、技能的全面发展。因此,幼儿歌唱活动既要重视对幼儿情感、审美情趣的培养,又不能忽视对幼儿进行知识和技能的培养。我们强调的是不要“过份”强调“知识和技能”,但并不等于不要知识和技能。如果我们“过份”强调对幼儿进行知识和技能的训练,必然会限制教师和孩子们的想象力和创造力的发挥,这是片面的。因此,幼儿歌唱教育活动应当是促进幼儿的全面发展。  相似文献
