Interactive Learning: A Hypertext Introductory Chemistry Text

9354323这个项目正在编写一本超文本“电子”教科书，要求学生积极参与原则的讨论，并将这些原则应用于解决问题。鉴于掌握和应用化学概念需要主动的学习，而不是被动的学习，计算机为这种类型的学习提供了理想的工具，特别是以超文本的形式。我们使用超文本程序指南(OWL International)的超文本问题解决指南的初步版本收到了非常好的学生反应。我们相信，这个使用指南软件的超文本程序正在帮助开发合理的学习和解决问题的方法，正在建立自信，正在使具有更广泛能力的学生能够接触到化学概念，并正在成为中学教师化学教学的典范。这本名为《化学指南》的超文本书籍，通过围绕学生必须回答的问题构建大多数讨论，鼓励学生参与。对问题的回答隐藏在超文本中，直到学生选择为止。《化学指南》还在选择时提供提示和定义，并在必要时将学生带到课文的适当部分进行复习或帮助。虽然《化学指南》的内容改编自首席调查员共同编写的介绍性文本，但《化学指南》的概念内容与大多数文本的概念内容相似。*y

9354323 Yoder This project is preparing a hypertext "electronic" textbook that requires the active involvement of the student in the discussion of principles as well as the application of these principles in the solution of problems. Given that active, rather than passive, study is necessary for the mastery and application of the concepts of chemistry, the computer provides an ideal vehicle for this type of learning, especially in the form of hypertext. Our preliminary version of a hypertext problem solving guide using the hypertext program Guide (OWL International) has received very favorable student responses. We believe that this hypertext program, using the Guide software, is helping to develop rational approaches to learning and problem-solving, is building self confidence, is making the concepts of chemistry accessible to students with a greater range of abilities, and is serving as a model for the teaching of chemistry by secondary school teachers. This hypertext book, ChemGuide, is encouraging student participation by constructing most discussions around questions that must be answered by the student. The responses to the questions are hidden in hypertext until selected by the student. ChemGuide also provides hints and definitions upon selection and when necessary takes the student to an appropriate section of the text for review or help. Although the content of ChemGuide is adapted from an introductory text co-authored by the principal investigator, the conceptual content of the ChemGuide is similar to that of most texts. ***y
