Research for Developing a New Model of Educational Methodology through Introducing New Media in Engineering Education

我们首先回顾了当前工程新教育方法的理论，然后根据具体科目检查了教育方法的适当性，并试图建立它们对应的相关结构。工程教育的学科分为工程科学基础、专业基础、专业核心、专业应用、专业附属领域和工程科学总原理。使用的教育媒介分为印刷品、有声材料、静态图片、动态图片和计算机。针对工程教育通过讲座促进对原理的理解，通过实验和实践经验巩固知识，通过研讨会讨论加深理解的特点，认真考虑学科分类与教学方式之间的有机关系。虽然OHP、video -floppy等教学资料在工程教育的材料呈现中已经证明了其易于操作和相当有效的优点，但进一步证明，将其与视频等移动材料、CAI、计算机通信等新媒体系统地结合起来，其效果会大大提高。因此，我们试图通过制作一种将视觉信息和计算机信息结合在一起并可由计算机控制的交互式视频光盘来检验这种新的教育模式。在一所特殊的技术学院建造了一个新的媒体实验室，学生们可以以小组为单位在监视器电视机、个人电脑和黑板上工作，也可以以个人为单位在印刷材料和自己的笔记上工作。在另一所大学建造的另一个实验室允许40名学生单独操作视频设备和个人电脑。这些新媒体实验室的共同特点是，利用移动的视觉媒体和个人计算机通信，促进课程、程序化学习和双向教与学设备的整合。这些因素虽不是决定性的，但却为高职高专工程教育的高效化提供了一种新的模式。少

We first reviewed current thceries of new educational methodologies for engineering, then examined the appropriateness of eductional methodologies as per the specific subjects, and attempted to build a relevant structure of their correspondence. Subjects of engineering education were classified into the foundation of engineering science, the foundation for specialization, the core of specialization, the applications of specialization, the affiliated areas of spcialization and the general principle of engineering science. Educational media to be employed were categorized into printed materials, audio materials, still pictures, moving pictures,and computers. In view of the characteristics of engineering education, which promotes the understanding of principles through lectures, consolidates experientially the knowledge students obtained through experiments and practices, and deepens the level of their understnding through discussion at seminars, careful consideration has been given to th … More e organic relationship between the classification of subjects and the modes of teaching.Still materials of teaching, such as OHP and Video-floppy disc, have proven their merits due to easy handling and considerable effectiveness in material presentation for engineering education, but it has been further demonstrated that their effectiveness improves drastically by combining them systematically with,such new media as video and other moving materials, CAI, computer communication. We have therefore attempted to examine the new educational model by producing an interactive video-disc which brought together visual information and computer information and could be controlled by computer.A new media lab constructed at one of the special colleges of technology is so arranged that students can work, as groups, on monitor television sets, personal computers, and black boards, and as individuals, on printed materials and their own notes. Another lab constructed at another college allows forty students to operate individually video sets and personal computers. These new media labs have common features, as systems, of facilitating the integration of curriculum, the programmed learning, and two-way teaching-learning device by the use of moving visual media and personal computer communication. If not decisive, these have presented a new model to make engineering education for special colleges of technology to be highly efficient and effective. Less
