The Study Of "Peer Tutor" Under CSCL Environment

With the universal application and further deepening of Internet and information technology education, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) has become a hot topic of educational technology. One of the main research directions in CSCL is human being. How to do with teacher training and give full play to each of the trainees, especially to promote the role of active participants, will directly affect the performance of teacher training.According to the CSCL research in recent years, the shortage of research on human being has been a serious problem.

Basing on related research about CSCL at home and abroad, the author analyzed the concept, the type and the nature of CSCL.The second step is to do experimental research on the basis of identifying and analyzing the"Peer tutor". Taking the specialty and status of teaching training into account, this paper presents a thing of combing computer collaboration and face-to-face collaboration, and establishes a model of teacher training in CSCL, especially focusing on the design, implementation, and evaluation and summing of"Peer tutor"experiment.Finally, this paper sums up the factors of impacting collaboration, the features of"Peer tutor",the strategy of promoting active"Peer tutor",the inspiration for teacher training and so on. It is of great significance to assisting teacher training, enhancing the training performance and improving the learning effects. This study improves the instruction in the CSCL, and is helpful for further development and application of teacher training in CSCL.
