Studies in Educational Use of Visual Information Network and the Evaluation System

本研究的目的在于：(1)了解和评估企业或教育团体尝试将多媒体网络技术引入教育系统的各种项目的现状，并为进一步的实践提出必要的建议；(2)开发一种系统，使以前储存的教育信息能够在这些团体或机构之间流通，并在组织上通过多媒体支持这种信息流通；(3)建立了多媒体网络教学实践和学生学习过程的评价体系，并通过这些评价建议这些项目如何进行下一步。在1996学年，该项目与前一年一样由三个小组组成。这些包括：(A)调查和实验在小学和初中使用多媒体或网络技术的团队；（B…More）调查和实验教师使用多媒体或网络技术的团队；(C)检验这些实践和评估方法的教育意义的团队。A组以以往对远程教育的一般研究或“媒体孩子”等先进项目为基础，开发了与互联网相连的“蔬菜水果数据库”示范课程。该团队还评估了这种材料的实用性。此外，它改进了现有的互联网主页，并制作了一个样本CD-ROM。这些副本分发给学校，目的是启发学生。小组B试图标准化以前存储的教育信息（教材、媒体包等）的格式，以便大学或机构可以有效地利用这些信息。研究小组还调查了这些材料的使用方式和影响。C团队从去年开始，继续研究互联网百校合作项目的过程和完成情况，明确了技术问题、教师观念的变化、如何培养教师等问题。这项研究的结果汇集在最后的报告中。同时，这些结果也向教育科学体育文化部提出了一些未来的具体计划。少

This study aims to accomplish the following : (1) understanding and evaluating the current status of the various projects by corporations or educational groups, which attempt to introduce the technology of multimedia network into the educational system, and making necessary suggestions for the further pratices ; (2) developing a system that allows previously stored educational information to be circulated between these groups or institutions, and supporting organizationally this circulation of information through multimedia ; and (3) establishing an evaluation system for such educational practices of multimedia network and for students learning processes, and having these evaluations suggest how these projects should proceed to the next step.In the academic year of 1996, the project consisted of the same three teams as the previous year. These include : (A) the team that investigates and experiments the use of multimedia or network technology in primary and lower secondary schools ; (B … More ) the team that investigates and experiments the use of multimedia or network technology for teachers ; and (C) the team that examines the educational significance of such practices and the evaluation methods.Team A developed a model curriculum called "Vegetables and Fruits Database, " which is connected with the internet, on the basis of the previous study about distant education in general or an advanced project such as "Media Kids." The team also evaluated the practicality of this material. Furthemore, it improved existing internet homepages and created a sample CD-ROM.The copies were distributed to schools for an enlightening purpose.Team B tried to standardize the format of previously stored educational information (teaching materials, media kits, and so on) so that universities or institutions can make an effective use of such information. The team also investigated how these materials are used or what the effects were.Team C continued from the previous year to study the process and accomplishment of the Internet 100 Schools Collaboration Project, and clarified issues such as technical problems, changes in teachers' minds, and how to train instructors.The results of this study were gathered together in the final report. At the same time, these results suggested to the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture some concrete plans for the future. Less
