Design And Application Research Of Reflective Learning Activities Based On Blackboard Platform

With the development of information technology and the reform of higher education,the educational thought of life-long learning is also rising,and the society has putting forward higher requirements to learners.Life-long education requires that students need give up the passive learning,and turn to active learning.Meanwhile,the reform of higher education requires that educator should update the idea of talent cultivation and clearly mentions that we should pay attention to the combination of learning and thinking in the process of teaching,which can cultivate students with the ability of independent learning and innovation.Reflective learning is an important way to learn how to learn for students,which can help students examine the learning experience and gradually internalize knowledge,it can improve the ability of innovation and criticism for students.So it is particularly important for students to have a good ability of reflection.However,there is still a certain gap between the actual teaching and the requirements of the reform of higher education.The students' reflective ability is generally weak and the reflective strategies are less,Teachers are just concerned with learning outcomes but ignore the learning process of students in their instruction.How to improve the students' reflective ability is a major problem of education,its purposes are promote students' learning and keep up with the pace of development of the society.In order to solve this problem,based on the characteristics of online learning and reflective learning and combine with relevant theories and existing researches,this study designs reflective learning activities which based on Blackboard platform in theoretical and practical way,at last the author verifies its effectiveness in empirical research that can provide a reference for subsequent research.The organizational structure of this paper can be divided into six chapters:The first chapter is the introduction.This chapter presents the research background and research status by analyzing domestic and foreign existing research of reflective learning,and then puts forward the research questions,and also states the purpose and significance of this study,the research content and the research methods.The second chapter is the core concepts and related theoretical basis.This chapter defines the concepts of reflective learning and learning activities,and introduces Blackboard platform and the theory of constructivism learning,developmental evaluation theory,meta-cognitive theory and activity theory.Besides,it expounds the enlightenments of those theories for this study,which can provide theoretical support for the reflective learning activities design based on Blackboard platform.The third chapter is the reflective learning activities design based on Blackboard platform.This chapter mainly analyzes the principles of the reflective learning activities design based on Blackboard platform and also the reflective learning activities procedure based on Blackboard platform that under the guidance of theoretical basis such as constructivism learning.The fourth chapter is the application of reflective learning activities based on Blackboard platform.The teaching experiments was carried out based on the Blackboard platform in this chapter,the reflective learning activities design is applied in the public elective course which named "integrating information technology into curriculum" to free normal students of Shaanxi Normal University.Before the experiment,the author analyzes the learning object,learning needs and learning content first,and then the learning environment and learning evaluation was designed.And finally the author select one theme of this course as a case to states the implementation process of reflective learning activities in detail.The fifth chapter is the analysis of the effectiveness of reflective learning activities based on Blackboard platform.Using the questionnaire survey and the interview method to analysis effects about experiment,at first,the author uses reflective learning questionnaire to survey students' reflective learning situation before and after implementation of this experiment,then random interview with some students to understand their real feelings at the end of the experiment.The comprehensive analysis shows that the students' reflective learning ability has improved and students have a higher satisfaction of the reflective learning activities.The sixth chapter is summary and prospect.This chapter draws some conclusions and the research innovations of this study by analyzing the results,and then reflects on the shortcomings in the course of the study and proposes the further research.
