The Research And Measurement Of Virtual Class’s Ecological Attributes

In the modern society, Promoting the Education informatization have changed the traditional way of human beings’ learning. The Teaching Pattern based on the network has been liked by more and more universities. Researchers come to studied this new organizations_virtual classes form education, psychology, communication theory. What kind of on line teaching methods can adapt to the needs of learners. What kind of online learning methods can promote learner’ learning. These are the serious problems need depth research. Along with ecological culture’s widespread, the point of ecological provide a new ideas for the virtual class. The soul of virtual classes on ecological studies, focus on the interaction relationship between various elements of virtual classes, The purpose is to build a group which is healthy, harmonious, highly autonomous.Follow the ecological principles, in the article, we analysis the virtual classes ecosystem carefully, including ecological components, ecosystem structure and ecological characteristics. The virtual classes have three ecological factors, what is ecological body, ecological environment, and the relationship between body and environment. We called teachers, students, E-tutor are ecological bodies. Each component shoulders producers, consumers and decomposers at same time. Virtual classes environment including course content, course activities and virtual learning environments. Due to the body’s changing need, the adaptability of bodies and environment, they are always on changing and development process. From the ecological perspective, Virtual class includes nuclear, mass, and warehouse, with the features:"personality" in commonality,"static" in moving and so on. So, the virtual class is repeating "balance-imbalance-new balance".Based on the ecological analysis of virtual classes, the ecological attributes this paper presents:Attribute I:Virtual class is a living body with personality characteristics, embodied in two parts:ecological bodies and learning resources. Also reflects the phenomenon of life cycle."Living body" attribute focuses on the class’s ecological vitality, show the system macroscopic interaction.Attribute II:Virtual class is a resource generation system. Under the effect of ecological bodies, default resource converted into new resources, the new resources re-converted into another form of knowledge. Such repeated, learning resources come to accumulated. By measuring the knowledge building process at all levels, we get the situation of interactive quality.Attribute III:Body and environment presents coordinated development relationship. Virtual class is an artificial ecological, the relationship between them are mutually adaptation, mutual restraint. By changing their behavior, ecological bodies adapt to the environment, environment to meet the needs of learners, changing themselves. The overall attribute have been measured from the perspective of social system and ecosystem, measuring the ecological structure formed by interaction.After analyzed the attributes in detail, according to the factors, selecting the appropriate method, In the fourth selection, we choose a sample to test, using the measures which have designed, and analyzing the results.In this paper, the study of ecological attributes and measurements belongs to basic research. The research can provide a reference for the virtual class builders, Which will broaden the research horizons.
