A Study on School Facilities for Information Education with Advanced Tele-communication

在本研究的第一年（1997- 1998），作者通过电子邮件对127所参与百校联网工程或Konnet计划的小学和130所初中进行了调查，以获得诸如互联网连接情况、计算机放置和教师对信息技术的态度等信息。在第二年（1998- 1999年），作者调查了信息技术先进的5所小学和2所初中，进行了听力访谈，随后对计算机和家具的放置进行了物理测量。此外，实际的课堂会话已被记录使用时间研究，并通过这一过程中出现了19个教学模式。作为研究项目的一部分，作者们在威斯康星州-欧克莱尔大学与周围学区举行了审查会议。媒体专家和三个学区的教师参加了审查会议。作者亦收集了有关各区学校资讯科技的资料，并根据资料分析，提出了具体的策略计划，包括：计算机机房规划，教学媒体中心（IMG）信息基础设施设计，利用双向通信网络促进远程教育环境，校内网与社区广域网连接的建设计划，校内信息网络的有效/畅通利用和管理条件。

During the first year of this study (1997-8), authors conducted a surveythroughe-mail to obtain information such as conditions of internet connection, placementof computers, and teachers attitudes toward information technology, targeting 127elementary and 130 junior high schools, Those schools areparticipating either 100-school Networking Project or Konnet Plan, and hold homepages on the World WideWeb.For the second year of the study (1998-9), authors investigated 5 elementary and 2 junior high schools, which are advanced in information technology, throug hearing interview sessions followed by physical measuring of placement of computers and furniture pieces. Also, actual classroom sessions had been recorded usingtime study, and 19 instructional patterns emerged through this process. As a partof the research project, authors had review sessions ar University of Wisconsin -Eau Claire, coupled with ones at surrounding school districts. Media specialists and teachers of three school districts participated review sessions. Authorsalso collected information about information technology in schools from those districts.Based upon data analysis of these surveys and information, a proposal of concrete strategic plans had been made with following components : plans for computer rooms, designs of informational infrastructure of Instructional Media Center (IMG), facilitating environment for distance education using two-way communication network, plans for constructing intra-school network connected with wide-area network in local communities, and conditions for effective/smooth utilization and management of information network in schools.
