WebQuest模式在信息技术课程双语教学中的实践探究

随着中国日益走向世界,双语教学也越来越受到高校和教育部的重视,成为我国本科教育评估的指标之一。文章针对当前信息技术的发展特点,分析了我国信息技术课程双语教学的教学目的和面临的问题,提出了基于WebQuest的探究式双语教学模式。WebQuest实质是建构主义学习理论在网络学习中的实践表现,是在网络环境下,由教师引导,以一定的目标任务驱动学习者对某个问题和某类课题自主地进行构建、探索和研究的学习平台。作者通过两个学期的教学实践,发现将WebQuest应用到信息技术类的双语教学中,可以极大地提高学生的学习兴趣,弥补了传统课堂双语教学的不足。论文的最后对WebQuest教学模式进行了反思,分析了该模式在双语教学中的优势和局限,并提出了相应的对策。
