Research In Information Technology Instruction Design For Junior High School Based On Activity Theory

With the fast development of network technology & multimediatechnology and National Information Infrastructure with computer ascore in modern society, the information technology has approached ineach domain of social life and also impacted the domain of educationpowerfully. Facing the social actuality with knowledge updatedincreasingly and fast, schooling has to improve informationaccomplishment for students hard and, nevertheless, the informationtechnology course has taken on this important task.This article has researched the instruction design problem ofinformation technology for junior high school under the guidance withactivity theory and the main aspects as follows: analyzed the applicationactuality of the related activity theory abroad and home in instructiondesign of information technology; analyzed and researched theapplication problem of activity theory in instruction design; and on thisbase created the instruction design mode of information technology forjunior high school based on activity theory and the general methods andsteps of the instruction design under this mode.The research in this article is based on the frame with activity theoryand in using multiplicate research methods such as experimentation,investigation, observation, interview, literature analysis, comparison andinduction etc., and has explored the instruction design of informationtechnology course for junior high school based on activity theory deeply.The entire thesis has been disparted in five parts.The first part is foreword, which has expatiated the researchbackground, actuality, intention, significance and method of this thesis overall.The second part is acquaintance of activity theory, which hasexpatiated the correlative concepts and terms and parsed the applicationvalue of activity theory in instruction design and offered the significantreference value for creating the instruction design mode based on thistheory.The third part explored the design thinking for junior high schoolinstruction design of information technology based on activity theory,analyzed the holistic thinking for junior high school instruction design ofinformation technology based on activity theory, created a kind of newmode for instruction design and expatiated the general methods andsteps of its instruction design to tone up its maneuverability.The fourth part is experiment research, which has researched theinstruction design for junior high school based on activity theory inpractice and validated the effect of the instruction design with classroomexperiment.The fifth part introduced partial cases of instruction design.The whole article has tried to practise the instruction design ofinformation technology for junior high school based on guidance framewith activity theory in exploring, which is one helpful attempt associatedthe new instruction design theory with teaching practice.
