USE TEACHING SOFTWARE FOR EVOLUTION SYLLABUS (BIOLOGY 12 – HIGH SCHOOL) MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING THE VIETNAM INSTITUTE OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES USE TEACHING SOFTWARE FOR EVOLUTION SYLLABUS (BIOLOGY 12 – HIGH SCHOOL) Major : Theory and Teaching Method of Biology ABBREVIATIONS No Acronyms Interpretation BGĐT CNTT&TT Electronic lectures Information technology and communications ĐC Control GV Teacher HS Student KBPMBD Planning of syllabus software PPDH Teaching method PMBD Syllabus software PMDH Teaching software THPT High school TN Practice SGK Textbook 10 11 12 INTRODUCTION REASONS FOR TOPIC • Based on requirements of applying information technology in improving methods of teaching • Based on characteristics of teaching program and textbook of biology 12, which have been compiled with limitation to providing available knowledge • Based on objective shortcomings of the textbook with only including static images • Based on the sphere of knowledge of evolution syllabuses (Biology 12 for high school education) includes knowledge of phenomena, modes, processes and rules of abstract evolution • From a fact that information technology plays an important role in helping teachers to improve lesson plan according to innovative trend; it helps them to implement a number of different teaching methods for different students, diversifies forms of learning From above reasons, we choose the topic: “Use advanced teaching software (Biology 12 – High School)” OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH Establishing and using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) is to improve the quality of teaching evolution syllabuses (Biology 12) • • SUBJECT AND OBJECT OF RESEARCH Subject: teaching software and method of using teaching software in teaching evolution syllabuses (Biology 12) Object: process of teaching evolution syllabus (Biology 12) SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS • If defining well principles, procedure of establishing and using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) effectively, the quality of teaching evolution syllabuses will be improved RESEARCH TASKS • Overview researches about establishing and using teaching software in the world and in Viet Nam • Specify theoretical basis of teaching software: definition, classification, principle and process of establishing teaching software • Define the real basis of establishing and using teaching software, real situation of establishing and using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) • Design advanced teaching software (Biology 12) and proposing methods of use • Define methods of using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) to plan lessons at classes and instruct students in self-study • Make pedagogic practice with an aim to testing the teaching software METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH To implement the topic, we performed theoretical researching methods, observe, survey, interview and make pedagogic practice VALUE OF RESEARCH • Complete the system of principles, procedures of establishing and using teaching software in general and applying in establishing and using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) in particular which contributes to specifying trend of applying achievement of information technology in teaching biology • Define method of establishing and using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) • Develop theoretically and methodically biology teaching towards applying achievements of information technology in teaching biology in general and teaching evolution syllabuses in particular STRUCTURE OF THESIS Besides introduction, conclusion, appendix, references, the thesis includes main chapters: + Chapter 1: theoretical and reality basis of topic + Chapter 2: establish and use advanced teaching software (Biology 12) + Chapter 3: Pedagogic practice Chapter THEORETICAL AND REAL BASIS OF THE TOPIC Overview of research and information technology application in teaching In the world, information technology applied widely in many fields including Viet Nam There are two trends in applying information technology into teaching at the school: put information technology in teaching contents and use computer as a teaching tool Especially, many people are of great interest in the latter one • In Viet Nam: researches on applying information technology in teaching are still dispersed and not well-oriented To Biology, research on applying information technology in teaching has been implemented since 2000 but this mainly stands at master thesises General remark Applying information technology is not similar to improving teaching methods Therefore, it must be correctly oriented in developing application in teaching • Applying information technology in teaching and other fields are not identical There’ re typical characteristics because it has certain affects on human Thereby, human is both subject and object Therefore, to improve efficiency of applying information technology in teaching, teachers need to find out the answer for the question that how to teach students to think, to logically infer and learn to foster their capacity of self-study and selfdiscovery 1.2 Theoretical basis • • Definition and classification of software 1.2.1.1 Definition Software is a set of command statement written by one programming languages or more than in a definite order to automatically function or solve a problem 1.2.1.2 Classification ... advanced teaching software (Biology 12) is to improve the quality of teaching evolution syllabuses (Biology 12) • • SUBJECT AND OBJECT OF RESEARCH Subject: teaching software and method of using teaching. .. using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) • Design advanced teaching software (Biology 12) and proposing methods of use • Define methods of using advanced teaching software (Biology 12) to plan... teaching software and method of using teaching software in teaching evolution syllabuses (Biology 12) Object: process of teaching evolution syllabus (Biology 12) SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS • If defining
