Case Study On Learning Activities Of Information Technology Curriculum In Junior High School

With the development of informational society and constant deepening of China's curriculum reform of national basic education, increasingly importance has been attached to information technology education in middle school and elementary school. At present, the goal of information technology education in middle school and elementary school is to develop the primary and high school students' interest and awareness for informational society, help students master basic knowledge and skills of information technology, let the students have the ability to obtain, transmit process information and solve problems by information, and to improve their quality of culture. In this way, students can learn other subjects more effectively and can be better prepared for lifelong learning. How to train students for information literacy through classroom teaching of information technology education in middle school and elementary school has become a problem deserving of study.This paper talks about the background of China's curriculum reform of national basic education, discusses the new challenge for information technology education in middle school and elementary school. The new challenge is training the students' information literacy. After investigation and research, we understand the current situation of information technology subject in middle school. We also analyze new problems that have emerged. This paper gives full introduction about activity theory. Based on the analysis of the significance brought by activity theory in information technology education in middle school, we bring forward a new teaching model-active instruction model of information technology. This paradigm centers around the students' study activities, emphasizes that students construct their knowledge in activities and interact with all kinds of elements in the learning environment. In the course of activities, students complete their task subjectively, exploringly and creatively. Students realize meaning construction between multidisciplinary, experiencing knowledge and experience with information technology. By this way, students can enhance their information technology skills, and also develop their creative thinking, improve their information literacy and communicative capacity.This paper elaborates the instructional design of information technology courses based on constructivism, and analyses this instructional design. We apply this paradigm to practice. Through experimental study, it indicates that the teaching model based on activity theory can attract students, stimulate the initiative of the students. Theeffectiveness and efficiency of information technology education have been improved. This model can improve students' information literacy.
