A learning strategy of the across-classroom competition supported for event-driven learning
Abstract
Human activities are always driven by events. Event-driven learning refers to learning taking place during the preparation process of the event, not necessarily during the participation process of the event. In the study, the authors extend the previous research "EduClick" and design the learning model of the event-driven learning. They process a competition using EduClick to drive the students' learning interests. Students can do goal setting, learn actively by themselves during the preparing period, and then accumulate enough strength to participate the competition event. They hold an across-classroom competition event, and hope students' learning motivation can be driven by the event.
... The study of Chang et al. [2] in 2002 focused on the learning strategy of contest event with event-driven learning. We extend the study to hold a contest event in connected classroom and integrate with activitycentered design [3] and learner-centered design into the event process. ...
... We held the contest event embedded into the eventdriven learning model. The event-driven learning is divided into three stages [ 2], including goal setting stage, preparing stage, and participation stage. The two phases of the contest scenario is corresponding to the last two stages of the event-driven learning. ...
In this study, an English contest event with across-classroom mode was held in the connected classroom equipped with wireless remote controller (EduClick). The learning scenario of contest event embedded into event-driven learning model is designed by integrating activity-centered design and learner-centered design to conduct students to learn individually before event and collaboratively participate with classmates during the event stage. The contest event is held by the activity-centered design. A Web site with Web-based content and online testing system is built by learner-centered design. We desire the students to learn for participating in the event. Connected classroom is an environment constructed by connecting classrooms located in the same or different schools, or schools of different countries. More various learning activities could be held in the environment. Here, we built a prototype of connected classroom using the simplest wireless and mobile technologies and held contest event.
... It has also been seen in studies such as the one carried out by Sung-Bin Chang et al. (2002) and Chi-Wei Huang et al. (2001) that in the same way that all human activities are directed by events, learning can also be achieved in the process of preparing an event. In the case of the use of a computer programme, the fact that there are different levels depending on the knowledge shown can help to achieve knowledge as it creates competence in the student. ...
Traditionally, people have tried to compare the effectiveness of traditional teaching with Computer Aided Learning (CAL), however, it is very difficult to work out which of them is best. In our research we want to show that the use of the computers in learning processes can represent an important element in improving them. The results obtained show that many of the contents worked on with the help of the new technologies are better assimilated by the students as they get better results than using a traditional method. However, we should highlight that although we use the new technologies, the figure of the teacher will always be necessary and that in the design of computer applications the interaction of the technician with an expert in educational methods is very important.
