Development of Diagnozing and Training System for Instructional Activities

本研究的目的是开发计算机辅助培训系统，以提高职前教师培训课程中的教学设计能力和教学技能。研究人员认为，该系统应该有两个重要功能，例如1）评估受训教师的决策模型及其教学计划，2）模拟教学计划以提供适当的建议和反馈。首先，研究人员重点评估决策模型并开发教学活动的计算机模拟模型。然后开发了基于所开发模型的试点系统和设计教学计划的方法。接下来讨论了培训系统的设计，特别是侧重于通信接口的实现。结果，确定自由词输入法不适合本案。因此，研究人员决定开发一个包含教材数据库和题项列表的系统。该训练系统包含高中一年级《数学1》八种不同教材的“算例数”教材数据库。使用该系统的教师实习生能够从数据库中检索必要的信息，并将信息剪切并粘贴到计算机屏幕上的电子纸上。此外，他们可以从计算机屏幕的菜单中粘贴一些项目，例如教育环境、计划的目的和教学活动，以便制定具有时间流程和决策原因的教学计划。用户的日志可以保存在该系统中以供评估之用。在研究结束时，一些受训教师制定了一些教学计划，这些计划得到了一些专家的评估。决策理由恰当、时间流程合理的方案得到了专家们的较好评价。较少的

The purpose of this study was to develop a computer assisted training system for promoting instructional designing abilities and teaching skills during preservice teacher training courses. The researchers believed that there should be two important functions in this system, such as 1) to evaluate the decision models of the teacher trainees and their instructional plans, and 2) to simulate the instructional plans in order to provide appropriate advice and feedback.First, the researchers focused on evaluating the decision models and developing a computer simulation model for instructional activities. Then a pilot system based on the developed model and a method for designing instructional plans were developed.Next a design of the training system especially focusing on the realization of a communication interface was discussed. As a result, it was determined that free-word input method was not suitable for this case. Therefore, the researchers decided to develop a system which included a … More textbook detabase and item lists.This training system contained the textbook database on "counting numbers of cases" using eight different kinds of textbooks of "Mathematics 1" for the first grade level of upper secondary schools. The teacher trainees who used this system were able to retrieve necessary information from the database, and cut and paste the information on the electric sheets on the computer screen. Moreover, they could paste some items, such as educational environment, the purpose of the plan, and instruction al activities, from the menu of the computer screen in order to develop instructional plans with time flow and reasons of decision making.The user's log was able to be saved in this system for the evaluation purpose. At the end of this study, some teacher trainees developed some instructional plans, and these plans were evaluated by some experts. The plans which used appropriate reasons of decision making and reasonable time flow received better evaluation by these experts. Less
