Research About Learning By Inquiry On The Basis Of The Information Technology

The development of the country relies on the education. After entering 21st century, it is fierce on day that every country in the world competes with science and technology. But it is the competition of education and the creative talent after all. Learning by inquiry, which has many characteristics, such as research quality, opening, independence, course quality and so on, puts the students to the subject status and pays attention to cultivating the ability to analyze the problem and solve the problem. It is playing an extremely important role in implementing quality-oriented education and training the creative talent.With the coming of information age, information technologies signed as multimedia and network have offered the essential realization means for the learning by inquiry. The information technology is means to gathering, processing, storing, exchanging, using and system of the method to the information. Information technology can satisfy the needs of learning by inquiry fully, because it has such characteristics as a great deal information resources, synchronism asynchronous exchange way, quick feedback and etc.Through learning history and analyzing current situation, the writer realizes that learning by inquiry is an educational development theme of our times. Information technology can provide cogent help for the students on finding problem, collecting information, dealing with information, using information, mutual aiding and etc. It also can provide help for the teachers on guiding students effectively, encouraging students the interest of study, encouraging students to study and participating in student's evaluation in their study course. But the discussion in the theory aspect is relatively more in existing research quality of learning by inquiry, while the discussion aspect on operating is fewer, especially fewer on the actual operationproblem occurs when the primary and middle school teacher is teaching. Although the importance of information technology during learning by inquiry has been certain understood, it is seldom referred how to use and what the result is.Based on above anxieties, the writer researched by examples on learning byinquiry in the middle and primary schools of Shanghai Putuo district in this subject.Having chosen 40 samples, the writer probes into the questions relying mainly on video analytical method of classroom instruction and the questionnaire investigation as to students, teachers and educational administrative departments must confront in this learning challenge. Thus, at this research, we offer some suggestions on the learning by inquiry based on information technology for our students, teachers and educational administrative departments: In the course of learning by inquiry, student should grasp the technical ability of the information expertly instead of the application enthusiasm of the information technology. The teacher should change one's own concept constantly, meet new change of new study way at the educational theory and teaching behavior and improve one's own information technology training constantly; School and responsible educational administrative department should offer essential hardware environment and software environment for the developments of the new study way. Teachers and students' rate should be reduced. It should be changed to appraise the system. The resource construction of teaching should be concerned. The teacher's information training should be improved.
