Abstract

Taking into account the plethora of Remote and Virtual Labs (RVLs) that are currently available online, a key problem has emerged from the need of science teachers to be able to find and select them for their lesson plans, in an efficient and effective way. The most common way to facilitate this process using web technologies is to (a) characterize RVLs with appropriately selected educational metadata and (b) to build a web repository that collects the metadata descriptions of RVLs following a common metadata schema and offers search and retrieve facilities. In our previous works we have proposed: (a) a metadata schema for describing RVLs and (b) a web-based repository that stores RVLs based on the proposed metadata schema. In this work, we present the results of an investigation with 93 European school science teachers that was performed in the framework of a major European Initiative namely, the Go-Lab Project. The aim of the study is to identify which metadata elements are considered important by science teachers when they are searching for RVLs that will support their daily teaching activities within the context of their lesson planning.
对欧洲科学教师关于远程和虚拟实验室特征的调查
考虑到目前在线提供的大量远程和虚拟实验室(RVLs),科学教师需要能够以高效和有效的方式找到并选择他们的课程计划,这就出现了一个关键问题。使用网络技术促进这一过程的最常见方法是:(a)使用适当选择的教育元数据来描述rvl, (b)建立一个网络存储库,该存储库按照通用的元数据模式收集rvl的元数据描述,并提供搜索和检索功能。在我们之前的工作中,我们提出了:(a)描述rvl的元数据模式和(b)基于所提出的元数据模式存储rvl的基于web的存储库。在这项工作中,我们展示了对93名欧洲学校科学教师的调查结果,该调查是在一个主要的欧洲倡议框架内进行的,即Go-Lab项目。该研究的目的是确定科学教师在寻找rvl时认为哪些元数据元素是重要的,这些rvl将在课程规划的背景下支持他们的日常教学活动。
