Research On The Application Of 4C/ID Model In Digital Animation Teaching In Junior High School

In the "Internet+" era,digital media resources are being used more and more widely in the network,and the importance of digital media skills is becoming more and more prominent.Digital media skills refer to using digital media to create,communicate digital content,and creatively solve problems.Digital media skills include the basic operation and use of digital equipment and software and the ability to design and create digital works.The development of digital media skills is an integral part of the information technology curriculum at the basic education level.Current IT courses are usually based on a single-topic single-task format,using the traditional teaching model of "Example Explanation-Student Exercise".The traditional model focuses on developing students’ software operation skills and does not pay enough attention to cultivating students’ comprehensive application ability of software and digital work innovation ability.Based on the existing research at home and abroad,the author believes that the 4C/ID model can improve students’ comprehensive software operation and problem-solving skills.The 4C/ID model is an essential practical application model of complex learning theory.This model emphasizes the coordination and synthesis of knowledge and skills in the process of problem-solving,which is of great significance for guiding the teaching practice of IT courses in primary and secondary schools.In this study,the complex learning theory is first interpreted in detail,and the 4C/ID model and its components are analyzed in depth.According to the four characteristics of complex learning:integrity,nonlinearity,openness and self-organization,the author summarizes the characteristics of the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model and further constructs the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model.To explore the specific teaching effect of the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model,the researcher carried out experimental research on teaching digital animation.In the experiment study,two classes of the eighth grade of a middle school in Suzhou were selected as the experimental and control classes,each conducting teaching activities for six weeks.For the experimental class,the researcher applied the 4C/ID model to the digital animation course,designed a series of iterative learning tasks,and carried out teaching practice of the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model.For the control class,the researcher designed four relatively independent single-theme learning tasks and adopted the traditional teaching mode of "example explanation-student exercise" to carry out teaching practice.Before and after the experiment,the researcher measured the experimental and control classes’ learning effects,respectively.The main measurement dimensions include knowledge,rules,schemas,and comprehensive application skills.The measurement results showed that the average values of the students in the experimental class in the four dimensions of knowledge,rules,schemas and comprehensive application skills were higher than those in the control class.There were significant differences in the dimensions of schemas and extensive application skills.In addition,the schemas and animation works of the students in the experimental and control classes were compared and analyzed.It was found that the schemas constructed by the students in the experimental class were complete,and the number of objects and branches levels was more prosperous.The students’ digital works in the experimental class are generally more complete and imaginative,and they use more technical means.Through the above research,three research conclusions are obtained.First,the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model can cultivate students’ digital media skills from the four dimensions of knowledge,rules,schemas and comprehensive application skills.Second,in terms of cultivating students’ knowledge and rules of digital animation,the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model is not much different from the traditional teaching mode.Both can effectively improve students’ learning of digital animation knowledge and rules.Regarding cultivating students’ schemas and comprehensive application skills,the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model is more effective than the traditional one.Third,schemas and iterations are essential components of the IT teaching mode based on the 4C/ID model and essential strategies for carrying out specific teaching practices.
