项目摘要

The researchers have found, through site visitations on both sides, such facts as, high-technology incorporated into school education rapidly, high computer literacy among both teachers and students, and the considerable difference between US and Japan in terms of development and utilization of technology. The researchers on both sides also have pointed out that the utilization of technology could be accomplished by the society as a whole in order to promote it in school education. They have predicted the trends of the technology use in the coming information-oriented society, and have searched for the possibilities and practical means for taking advantage of technology in school education by analyzing advanced practices in this field in both countries concerned.The practical means for materializing the possibililties of telecommunication use in school education habe been identifuied by investigating and observing classroom teaching situations, especially in the U.S., where network and multimedia are highly incorporated into curriculum. Human, physical, and institutional resources necessary for promoting high-tech use as well have been identified. Site visitation and classroom obsevation on both sides offered the researchers opportunities and plentiful research material for investigating the ideal means of utilizing hardware and software in teaching, the relationship between teaching situation and software, and functions of multi-media and the best uses of them in education.Based on the analysis of materials obtained at the site visitations and literature available on the web, the researchers on both sides have predicted the trends in technology use in education in terms of the effects of technical development on education, the literacy required of teachers, the curriculum for teacher training in the information-oriented society, and the amount and content of computer literacy for students.

研究者通过对美日两国的实地考察发现，高科技迅速融入学校教育，教师和学生的计算机素养都很高，美日两国在技术开发和利用方面存在较大差距。双方的研究者都指出，技术的利用可以由整个社会来完成，以促进它在学校教育中的应用。他们预测了未来信息化社会中技术应用的趋势，通过分析两国在这一领域的先进做法，探索了在学校教育中利用技术的可能性和实践手段，通过调查和观察课堂教学情况，尤其是在美国，网络和多媒体高度融入课程。还确定了促进高技术使用所需的人力、物力和体制资源。通过实地考察和课堂观察，研究者对教学中硬件和软件的理想使用方式、教学情境与软件的关系、多媒体的功能及其在教学中的最佳使用等问题进行了探讨，并获得了丰富的研究资料。双方的研究人员从技术发展对教育的影响、对教师的素养要求、信息化社会的师资培训课程、学生计算机素养的数量和内容等方面，预测了技术在教育中的应用趋势。
