Investigation into Practices of Educational Information Processing in High School Teacher Education Program in University

我们对大学教师教育项目中教育信息处理的实践进行了两年的调查研究，关注各专业的信息处理。研究目的、研究方法和研究结果如下：为了明确高中教师应具备的计算机素养，我们对日本和美国教师教育计划中的教育信息处理课程进行了研究。了解新媒体对社会和教育的影响，对利用新媒体的特点进行教育的态度，以及对新媒体的了解。为了阐明各专业信息加工的特点，我们回顾了筑波大学新生信息加工课程和专业教学大纲。除了以信息科学课程为主要目标外，专业的信息处理具有很强的实用性，处理的数据和使用的方法取决于专业。针对这些特点，我们在筑波大学实际开展了教育信息处理实践课程，通过问卷调查收集学生的反馈，以改进教学。针对专业信息加工与教育信息加工之间的关系，建议形成学生利用个人电脑等教育媒介进行本专业教材开发的反馈回路，使其经验有利于本专业的学习。

We have for two years engaged in investigation into the practices of educational information processing in teacher education program in university paying attention to the information processing in various specialities.
