摘要

越来越多的证据表明,开放教育资源(OERs)是传统“收费”教材的可行替代方案。本文对“人-环境地理学导论”课程开发和实施开放式教育资源的过程和成果进行了反思。进一步提供了证据,支持在实施开放式教育课程后4-6年期间,学习该课程的学生的学习成绩和完成率得到改善。研究结果表明,与使用学生购买的传统材料相比,将OERs纳入课堂后,学生的学习成绩显著提高。实施OERs后,学生退学率也显著降低。尽管OER只在课程的实验部分使用,但学生的学习成绩和保留率仍然有所提高,这表明即使部分实施OER仍然可以产生显着的积极影响。开放教育资源的使用可以被认为是一个合理的选择,以提高地理课堂的保留率和学生的学术成就。

Impact of open educational resources on student performance in an introductory Geography course
There is a growing body of evidence that Open Educational Resources (OERs) are a viable alternative to traditional “for cost” teaching materials. This paper provides a reflection on the process and outcomes of developing and implementing OER within an introduction Human-Environment Geography lecture-laboratory course. Evidence is further provided in support of improvements to the academic performance and completion rates of students enrolled in the course after the implementation of OERs over a period of 4–6 years. Results of the study indicate students’ academic performance significantly increased once OERs were incorporated into the classroom compared to the use of traditional materials purchased by the students. The rate of student withdrawal also was significantly less once OERs were implemented. The improvements to students’ academic performance and retention occurred despite OER being only used in the laboratory component of the course, suggesting that even a partial implementation of OERs can still have significant positive effects. The use of OERs can be considered as a legitimate option to increasing retention and student academic success in the Geography classroom.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Geography in Higher Education ( JGHE) was founded upon the conviction that the development of learning and teaching was vitally important to higher education. It is committed to promote, enhance and share geography learning and teaching in all institutions of higher education throughout the world, and provides a forum for geographers and others, regardless of their specialisms, to discuss common educational interests, to present the results of educational research, and to advocate new ideas.
