Discussion on Strengthening Information Technology and Basic Education In-depth Integration Method

Abstract

Information technology penetrates into education field continuously with development of information technology. Information technology is playing an increasingly important role in education. Information technology has changed traditional mode of education, and created a brand-new learning environment for educatees. In-depth integration of information technology and basic education is one of important approaches to improve basic education teaching quality and promote basic education reform. It is development of basic education. In the paper, method of strengthening in-depth integration of information technology and basic education is mainly discussed. Traditional education mode is compared with the in-depth integration teaching mode of information technology and education for discovering their difference. The teaching development trend of information technology and education teaching deeply integrated with basic education is analyzed for discovering problems in in-depth integration of information technology and basic education. Methods of strengthening information technology and basic education in-depth integration are proposed for driving in-depth integration of information technology and basic education. Comparative analysis between traditional education and in-depth integration teaching of information technology and education China has large population, in-depth integration of education and information technology plays a very important role for economic development and education fairness in China. Traditional education mode is greatly different from the in-depth integration education mode of information technology and education. In the paper, both are compared from four aspects of educators, educatees, relationship between teaching and learning as well as education resources. Table 1 shows that educators in traditional education mode assume the responsibility of teachers, and they are responsible for teaching knowledge. Educators in the education mode under in-depth integration of information technology and education include discipline experts, education teaching top designer, teaching designer, etc. and they are intelligent and guiders; educatees in traditional education mode include students in basic education and pre-school education, and they are in neglected position, such education belongs to inculcating learning. The educatees of education mode under in-depth integration of information technology and education are people of basic education, pre-school education, special education and other community groups with learning demand. Educatees can be educated according to own interest, hobby and personalized demand. They are in the center of education teaching activities. The educatees utilize information technology media for two-way communication and man-machine interaction. Teaching activities of traditional education mode aims at learning knowledge and implementing teaching and learning according to teaching outline, subject standard and course plans, etc., and teaching and learning activity under in-depth integration of information technology and education aims at guiding educator to learn how to study and cultivate talents. Teaching resources of traditional education mode include chalk, blackboard, textbooks and notes, etc., or other teaching infrastructure. However, education resource under in-depth integration of information technology and education not only includes resources of traditional education mode, but also includes MOOCs, micro course, courseware, big data 4th International Conference on Mechatronics, Materials, Chemistry and Computer Engineering (ICMMCCE 2015) © 2015.

(3) Inculcating learning (4) Weak interaction (1) Educatees = people of basic education, pre-school education, special education and other community groups with learning demand; (2) Educatees is always act as main body and core of education teaching activity; (3) Educatees can select personalized learning approaches according to personal demand, interest, own learning experience, etc.; (4) Educatees utilize information technology media for two-way communication and man-machine interaction; Relationship between teaching and learning (1) Direct purpose of teaching and learning activity: To learn knowledge; (2) Teaching and learning activities can be orderly organized according to teaching outline, subject standard and course plans, etc.; (1) Direct purpose of teaching and learning activity: To guide educatees to learn how to study, and cultivate high-quality talent; (2) Double or combo education mode adapting to talent cultivation, turnover classroom teaching mode, management mode, quality guarantee mechanism, etc. Education resources (1) Blackboard, chalk, textbooks and notes, etc. (2) Other traditional education teaching infrastructure (1) Blackboard, chalk, textbooks, notes and other traditional education teaching infrastructure (2) MOOCs, micro course, courseware, big data intelligent textbooks, electronic schoolbag, digital library, science and technology innovation laboratory, Web learning analysis system, cloud education platform, etc. Teaching development trend of information technology and education teaching deeply integrated with basic education In-depth integration of information technology and education teaching will change basic education teaching development trend and basic education traditional teaching mode. In the paper, it is believed that teaching development of information technology and education teaching deeply integrated with basic education has the following features: Educatees can converted from passive learning to active learning Use of information technology: cloud computing, virtual simulation technology, 3D printing and other major information techniques can be used in basic education for enriching students' learning activities, and students can be more interested in learning. In addition, educatees act as the education center of basic education due to transformation of educator role. Educators apply information technology for guiding students in autonomous learning and immersive learning. Educatees can utilize network resources, multimedia information and other information means for creating more learning opportunities according to their own needs. Learning time and space of educatees can not be limited due to information technology. Students can learn anytime and anywhere, thereby increasing learning opportunities of educatees. Richer and richer education resources A large number of high-quality learning resources can be gathered by using information technology. More learning resources can be provided for educatees in basic education. Educatees can select learning resource suitable for own demand according to own requirement. Educatees can
