摘要:

Abstract For over 10 years now some geography teachers have been exploring the use of computers in their classrooms. Subsequent to the publication of the National Curriculum Technology Order in 1990 and the geography Order in 1991, a selection of that interest group were invited to comment on the limitations and opportunities the Orders offered to geography education. The contributions focus on the implications for: information handling; modelling; classroom management; INSET; cross‐phase linkage; implementation; and future scenar

摘要:

Abstract Twelve children, aged between 10 and 11 years old were given a 12‐hour course inLOGO.The course was taught by a teacher whose knowledge ofLOGOwas extensive. The emphasis was on the relationship between the turtle rotation and the internal angle in plane figures. The children were tested for their knowledge of angle at the start of the course and when it was finished. In spite of the teacher's attempts to make the children aware that it was the external angles of geometric figures through which the turtle turned, almost all the children focused on the internal angles in the final test. The results suggest usingLOGOto draw closed figures may lead to a confusion about angle which is not amenable to conventional teacher intervention in a short course of this nat

摘要:

Abstract This paper reports on the results of and experiences gained from a project to investigate and evaluate the use ofhypertextas a tool for developing CALL systems. The type of CALL system implemented was to some extent influenced by the desire to experiment with hypertext. Its novel features seemed to indicate that it would be ideal for the development of acognate‐language learningpackage i.e. software which would aid the development of reading ability in a foreign language based on the knowledge of a related language. Accordingly, a package was developed which provides the ‘same’ prose passages in French and Spanish (with English normally operating as the first language). A reader is able to browse in one of these languages, trying to understand the meaning by either interpolating between cognate words or by moving between the identical passages of two (or even three) of the la

摘要:

Abstract A study of 13–14 year‐old students' performance on two parallel logical reasoning tasks related to database searches is reported. In one task, given a logical sentence defining a search, students had to construct the equivalent data structure. In the other, given a data structure, they had to construct the equivalent logical sentence. Binary logical sentences including AND, OR and NOT were investigated, including tautology and contradiction. Students were more successful with sentences using AND than with sentences using OR. Negation generally produced difficulties, and essentially none could manage tautology and contradiction. Sentences using OR were more difficult, especially when they involved NOT. A common pattern was to treat OR as if it were AND. The two tasks, though formally parallel, were very different in difficulty, with the construction of sentences from a data structure being the more difficult. Both tasks were administered before and after training in the use of a database. A negligible difference in performance was

摘要:

Abstract This paper is based on a study into the social and ethical implications of computer education in Secondary Schools in Queensland (Australia). The author was part of a team which conducted this study. The paper reports on theoretical and social ethical considerations arising from the study and their pedagogical implications. After briefly reviewing the relationship of computer technology and philosophy, the paper outlines three orientations to curriculum‐vocational, liberal and socially‐critical. An argument is presented in favour of a socially‐critical orientation for computer education. The nature of that perspective's critique of technocratic culture is delineated and, finally, the paper discusses what a socially‐critical perspective would mean for computer education in the
