Research On The Application Of Collaborative Learning In Junior Information Technology Curriculum Based On Public Communication Platform

Modern information technology, which is represent by multimedia computer and internet technology, is greatly impacting people's way of thinking.Meanwhile the constantly updated network communication technology provides a diverse access to information. And the impact of information explosion critically tests people's ability to process information. So it's urgent to improve people's information literacy, especially students who are in basic education stage, such as junior high school students.Undoubtedly as for these students, the best way to improve information literacy is through information technology course.To a certain extent, information technology course, which is a young course in junior school, stands education for all-round development. Because some features, such as science, times and practical, of this course are different from other courses, the teaching method should reflect this difference. However, some problems that are not meet features of this course appear in the teaching process. These problems are embodied in the following areas. For one thing, some students don't pay much attention to this course and don't take course content seriously; for another thing, there are some problems in teaching methods of some teachers. Under such circumstances, it's hard for them to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Finally if compare these two aspects, it's not difficult to find out that inappropriate teaching method brings about students'low level of learning initiative.In order to solve the problems mentioned above,this paper set constructivism, humanistic learning theory, autonomy and collaborative learning theory as the theoretical basis and designed a collaborative learning mode for the teaching of information technology. The implementation of this mode needs a basic public communication platform, which is stable, powerful, simple and inexpensive. Based on this platform, teachers can arrange learning tasks and evaluate learning activities of students. Also, this platform is easier for students to understand learning aims and download learning resources; meanwhile it provides a function of the exchange and discussion, so it contributes the dialogue and evaluation between teacher and students. Via this method, the ability of practice, self-Inquiry, information literacy and expression of students can be greatly brought up.
