Development of methods for training school teachers and university students in teacher-training courses to adopt information technologies

本研究旨在探讨在师范教育课程中培训中小学教师和大学生使用信息技术的方法。为此，我们审查和修改了课程，以便在日常问题解决过程中使用计算机和信息网络等信息技术。在实践研究方面，我们提出了一种利用老式个人计算机和FERR软件，以最少的人力和预算来开发计算环境的方法。我们还建议，在师范课程中，信息技术的应用应集中在“教育方法与技术”和“实践教学”中，而应用技术应在特定学科的教学方法课堂上或在…中处理。更多的选修课。在这方面，我们建议在将资讯科技引入课程前，应为学生提供提升电脑素养的训练课程，并将该课程列为额外课程课程，以免妨碍课程原定目标的实现。研究发现，在“教育方法与技术”课程中引入科技，以小组活动形式进行，例如制订教案或教材，较长时间的讨论更为有效。此外，我们通过网络让学生上交项目，认识到熟悉信息技术的重要性。在实践培训中，由于学生可以访问办公室的计算环境，在实践教学和讨论前后进行信息交流等耗时的任务中，信息技术的使用是有效的。学生们认识到客观看待自己发出的信息的重要性，以及共享和利用信息的重要性，最终发现开发助教等人力资源和加强大学前的信息技术教育具有重要意义。这项研究的结果已在网络上公布，并提供给公众与他们分享我们的研究结果。较少

This study aims at the development of methods for training school teachers and university students in teacher-training courses to adopt information technologies. For this end we examined and modified curricula so that information technologies such as computers and information network are employed in day-to-day problem solving processes. Then we developed methods for enhancing information literacy fo both school teachers and students by linking activities in the new curricula and workshops of school teachers.As to practical studies, we proposed a method for the development of computing environment with the minimum manpower and budget utilizing old-style personal computers and ferr software. Also, we proposed that the use of information technologies in the teacher-training curricula should be focused on that in "subjects on educational methods and techniques" and "practice teaching" while applied technologies should be dealt with in classes on teaching methods for specific subjects or in … More elective courses. In this regard we suggested that the students should be given a training program for the enhancement of computer literacy prior to the introduction of information technologies to the curriculum and that such program should be given as an extra curricula program so as not to hinder the achievement of the original objectives of the curriculum.It has been found that the introduction of technologies in "subjects on educational methods and techniques" is more effectively conducted through group activities such as developing teaching plans or teaching materials than through lengthy discussions. Furthermore, we had the students hand in their projects through network and realized that it is important to make them familiar with information technologies.In practice training the use of information technologies was effective in time- consuming tasks such as exchanging information before and after practice teaching and discussions because the students had access to the computing environment in their offices. The students realized the importance of having an objective view on the information that they sent out and the significance of sharing and utilizing information.Finally, it has been found to be of great importance to develop human resources such as teaching assistants and to improve pre-university education on information technologies. The outcome of this study has been published on network and offered to the public to share our findings with them. Less
