基于计算机的工程教学模块必须简洁、灵活、具有教育性和吸引力,以有效补充传统的课堂教学工具。比黑板演示花费更多时间的计算机示例在当今的工程课堂中不太可能有用。灵活的导航是必要的,这样教师才能快速轻松地回答学生的问题。有用的模块还必须提高解决问题的技能或澄清麻烦的概念,以便被认为值得包含在有限的课堂时间中。最后,也许也是最重要的一点是,有效的基于计算机的模块必须能够应对吸引学生注意力的挑战。本文重点研究基于计算机的静力学教学交互模块的开发和改进。这些模块是使用动画包 (Flash ® ) 创建的,因此可以以直观和交互式的方式呈现桁架剖面以及剪切图和力矩图生成等概念。这些模块能够以传统教学工具无法实现的方式表示这些概念的动态和抽象方面。本文还讨论了如何利用教师和学生的反馈来提高模块的交互性和范围。
Computer-based modules for engineering instruction must be concise, flexible, educational and engaging in order to effectively supplement traditional classroom teaching tools. A computer example that takes more time than a chalkboard presentation is not likely to be useful in today’s engineering classroom. Flexible navigation is necessary so that the instructor can quickly and easily respond to student questions. Useful modules must also improve problem-solving skills or clarify troublesome concepts in order to be considered worthy of inclusion in the limited class time available. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, effective computer-based modules must meet the challenge of holding the student’s attention. This paper focuses on the development and improvement of computer-based interactive modules for statics instruction. The modules were created using an animation package (Flash ® ) so that concepts such as sectioning of trusses and the generation of shear and moment diagrams can be presented in an intuitive and interactive manner. The modules are able to represent dynamic and abstract aspects of these concepts in a way that is not possible with traditional instructional tools. The paper also discusses the use of feedback from instructors and students to improve the interactivity and scope of the modules.
