The Design And Development Of Web Learning Environment Supporting Science Problem-Solving In Primary School

Presently the ability of solving problem is one of the most important labels of talent.How to enhance the student's ability of solving problem is one of the targets in basiceducation reforms. The development of multi-media network technology offers newperspective for this field.From the basic education reform of Science Curriculum background, this thesis analyzesthe characteristics of ill-structure and well-structure problems, and pointed out that theteaching based on the ill-structure problems is an effective form of improving the students'problem solving ability. Through the analysis of teaching process of the primary ScienceCurriculum, this thesis designs and develops a web learning environment to support problem-solving of primary science curriculum. The environment includes five modules: "storytheatre", "my role", "paradigmatic fellow", "communication about works", "you say and Isay". And this thesis conducts a case study named "encountering ET". The final researchresults are as follows:The "story theatre" can enhance students' interest in participation in solving problems.The students can not entirely understand and accept the requirements of "my role". As a flatof students' communication, "exchange about works" and "you say and I say" modules havegot students' interest, but students can not completely gain the communication technique onthis plat.
