英国皇家经济学会21日公布一项最新研究发现,电脑教学对学生、特别是小学生的学习并非如人们之前所预想的那样有利,反而有些适得其反。研究发现,电脑使用得越少的孩子,成绩往往越好。在众多国家大力推广电脑教学的现代社会,这一结果无疑大大出乎人们的意料。
国际专家小组成员研究分析了经济合作与发展组织备案的2000年参加“国际学生评估项目”(Pisa)的31个国家的10万名15岁学生的学习成绩和家庭背景情况,结果却发现,使用电脑的机会越少,学生的文学和数学成绩就越高。研究报告指出:“尽管政府和软件开发商们一再强调电脑技能对下一代人的重要性,然而目前的证据却表明,学校的电脑教学似乎对学生基本学习技能的培养没什么好处,尤其是数学和阅读。”
参与该课题研究的慕尼黑大学的托马斯·福彻和鲁格·沃斯曼则更加直白地说,“事实上孩子们电脑用得越多,成绩反而越糟。”此外,专家还对电脑不利于孩子学习的原因进行了解释:在家里,孩子经常使用电脑,就会沉溺于电脑里的大千世界,耽误做家庭作业,从而导致学习成绩下降;而在学校,电脑教学设备的安装使许多更有效的教学形式遭到排挤而派不上用场,所以不利于孩子学习。
不过,专家们也指出,一星期在学校里使用一次或两次电脑还是能够达到教学的最佳效果。
对此,前IT教师尼克·克雷顿说,“电脑与书本和其他教学工具一样,是一种很正常的教学工具。它能够在所有课程上使用,特别是网络的出现,使之能够为教学提供更好的效果。但前提是教师对电脑的使用必须得当。所以,他们必须接受训练,以更有效地利用电脑。”
People can go to shop, bank and work with computer. But the danger of the computer is people are getting isolated and losing some social skills. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?
The progression of computer is inevitable and undeniable. Nowadays computers also have become a part of our daily life. Instead of leaving home to go to shop bank and work people can do these at home by clicking the buttons. However, some people hold the opinion that it will cause people isolated from each other and lose social skills.
Personally I find it hard for me to agree with this opinion by following reasons
In the first instance, computers are tool to communication with people instead of isolation from the world. When we say a person is isolated it means that he is lonely and cut off the world. However, people seldom have this feeling while they are surfing the Internet. On the contrary, people tend to make more friends through the net.
Secondly, people also can acquire social skills on Internet. Communication on Internet has the same purpose as face-to-face communication has. For example, through Internet we can send greeting cards to our friends. Furthermore, sometimes it might be a better way of communication on some occasions such as when you find it embarrassing to say sorry face to face we can send a message of apology to your friend.
Last but not least, doing something through Internet actually spares more time for our social life. Sometime we need to spend a lot of time shopping in department stores. Now we can save the time and may visit our friends.
In general, computer just make our life more colorful so we don’t need to worry about the changes its may bring to us. Especially most of these changes are positive.
