Features: Since its publication, this book has received enthusiastic attention and support from a broad readership and has won the National Excellent Bestselling Book Award. It has been released in four editions successively. Each revision and new edition not only updates teaching content and upgrades software versions but more importantly, innovates and transcends learning environments, teaching models, and evaluation methods.
· Creates an interactive environment conducive to active learning, supporting experiential learning in real-world contexts. Based on tracking, diagnosis, and evaluation of the problem-solving process and outcomes, it provides personalized learning guidance and operational demonstrations, achieving "one-on-one" teaching.
· Learning evaluation activities are integrated with the teaching process, promoting learning and development through diverse evaluations. Evaluation methods shift from paper-and-pencil tests to real-task assessments. Student models are constructed based on the process of skill acquisition, providing interactive problem-solving environments and personalized learning services to support "learning by doing."
· Offers online guidance and online assessments as learning support services. The book systematically introduces fundamental knowledge of computers and networks, the Windows XP operating system, word processing, Internet applications, presentation and web page creation, spreadsheet processing and database applications, as well as information security. Compared to the previous three editions, there are significant changes in writing style and format, with substantial additions and adjustments in content, specifically:
Version upgrades, such as transitioning from Windows 98 to Windows XP and from Office 2000 to Office XP;
Adding content on computer systems and networks and Internet applications;
Introducing new content on database applications and information security;
Breaking the traditional writing format that focuses on software tool applications, organizing content into three levels—concepts, methods, and software tools—to cultivate awareness and ability in using information technology to solve problems.
The iTutor system, a companion IT skills training mentor system, adopts a student model based on the process of skill acquisition evaluation, supporting "learning by doing." The online learning support system provides interactive problem-solving environments and personalized learning guidance, promoting student learning and development through diverse evaluations.
This book caters to the teaching requirements of various disciplines, including science, engineering, arts, economics, and management, with a wide scope of applicability. It can serve as a textbook for computer basic education in higher education institutions and as a training material for information technology for secondary school teachers.
