The Practice Study On Collaborative Learning About Common Curriculum Of Educational Technology In Normal University Based On Moodle

With the development of educational informatization,the ability of educational technology (name as ET) has become the basic quality of modern teachers.The normal university students,as the reserve force for the future teachers,to assume the responsibility of traimng persons that adapt to the information society,need higher ET ability.The common curriculum of educational technology (name as CCET) is the most important approach to improve the ET ability of normal university students;it is an important way to improve advanced instructional skills,methodology,and rationale for the students in normal university.Through the methods of literature,practical observation and interviews,it is found that there are many problems in this curriculum:traditional lecture-based teaching methods still prevail;lack of reasonable design of activities and sense of innovation;students have little interest;classes are not enough and have no experimental class;the evaluation method is single;a number of teaching aids platfroms are merely formalistic;the communication and interaction between teachers and students are inadequate.How to solve these problems in order to promote the cultivation of nomal students' ET ability is especially important.Through the analysis,it is concluded that Web-based collaborative learning which goes with traditional classroom instruction is a better way,as the CCET is a comprehensive,practical,cross-cutting curriculum,and it has a positive effect to solve the problems mentioned before,and also plays a facilitating role in cultivating the information literacy,ability of collaborative leaming,cooperation and exploration spirit of normal university students.The thesis consists of five chapters:chapter one-introduction,includes the study background, purpose,contents,meaning,clue and methods.Chapter two,through literature analysis,practical observation and interviews,summarizes the problems in CCET and application status of Moodle platforms,clears up a great deal relevant information about collaborative learning,web-based collaborative learning;analyzes the meeting points of Moodle and collaborative learning;introduces the methodology of design-based research.Chapter three builds a Moodleobased collaborative learning mode,analyzes it from theoretical foundation,guiding principles,including elements and their relationship,the operation process.It is considered that the design of collaborative learning activities is the focus of the mode.Chapter four uses the mode in CCET practice.From the inspiration of the category of knowledge in cognitive psychology and Bloom's classification of the teaching objectives,it designs the questions discussion,works design and evaluation activities, according to the features of the curriculum,builds the Moodle collaborative learning platform and implements the practice.After one semester's practice,through questionnaires,interviews and data statistical analysis,it is proved that the study is effective.Chapter five summarizes the whole thesis and comes up with future study work.
