Strategies for Improving Middle School Students’ English Reading Ability in the Era of Educational Informatization 2.0
Get PDFReading is a crucial component of second language acquisition and it significantly influences students’ English literacy development. In the era of educational informatization 2.0 in China, information technology has become essential tool for modernizing education. English reading instruction today aims to improve students’ English reading abilities and meets the demands of the times. Teachers must integrate information technology and English curriculum effectively. This paper examines how to use information technology to enhance students’ English reading memory ability, comprehension ability, and reading speed. We found that most English teachers can use information technology to improve students’ English reading ability by using computers, mobile phones, and interactive all-in-one computers, and various information software such as questionnaire stars, Tencent documents, etc. English textbooks and English magazine articles can be used as reading materials. The results indicate that students’ mastery of text language knowledge has improved, and they can choose different reading strategies to find the required information, grasp the author’s writing intention, and share their own opinions. The average number of English words read by students per minute has also increased. Finally, this paper proposes some effective strategies that can promote middle school students’ English reading ability. For instance, teachers can use micro-videos and online reading tasks to improve students’ memory ability, group online text analysis to enhance students’ understanding ability, and online time-limited reading training to improve students’ English reading speed
Research on Smart Classroom Teaching Based on Learning Science
Get PDFThe promulgation of the Chinese Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition) has defined the new teaching pattern of core literacy orientation. The core of the smart classroom is to enable learning to take place in the classroom and nourish literacy. In the context of learning science, the design of intelligent classroom teaching problems is of great significance. Question-oriented teaching is the concrete manifestation of the smart classroom, and its significance lies in the following aspects. Firstly, it provides contextuality. Context problems, known as driving problems, will drive students’ desire to explore. Secondly, it provides a sense of meaning. Problems will make students connect with the real world, thus starting their own learning system. Thirdly, it provides integrity. Lecture-based teaching based on knowledge points often leads to the phenomenon of “seeing only the part but not the whole”. The concept-based problem will form a systematic integration of scattered knowledge. The design of smart classroom teaching problems needs to be based on learning science, in-depth analysis of learners’ characteristics and habits, comprehensive use of learning science research results, technical means and new technologies, and design reasonable teaching programs to meet learners’ needs to the maximum extent, so as to make smart classroom teaching more scientific and effective
The Promotion of 5G+VR to Science Teaching in Primary Schools – Taking “The Passage of Time” in the First Volume of the Fifth Grade of the Education and Science Edition as an Example
Get PDFWith the increasing attention paid to 5G-assisted teaching, there is a growing need to explore the practical application of 5G+VR in science education. This paper uses the lesson “Sun Clock” in the “The Passage of Time” section of the fifth-grade education and science textbook as an example to investigate the use of 5G+VR technology in science teaching. By taking advantage of the school’s 5G network environment and smart education platform, this study aims to improve students’ learning experience and solve the problems encountered in experimental teaching. Through the use of VR technology, students were able to independently explore and understand how light and shadow are used to tell time with the help of the “Sun Clock” experiment. Students were able to observe the relationship between light and shadow and learn how to use them to tell time by combining the explanation in VR glasses and multi-angle observation of the sundial on the equipment. The study found that the use of 5G+VR technology significantly improved students’ understanding of the content and increased their sense of self-efficacy and on-the-spot experience. The implementation of 5G+VR technology in science education has solved the problems of safety concerns, limitations of experimental materials and site, and improved students’ problem-solving abilities in practical situations. The findings of this study have important implications for the integration of technology in primary school science education
