How to Achieve a Balance between Teacher-Lead and Student-Independent Inquiry in A Digital Class?- A Case Study Based on Chinese Middle School Mathematics Teaching

Abstract

How to integrate digital information technology into classroom is not only a challenge, but also a test for both teaching and learning. Getting involvement of digital information technology into classroom extends students’ learning in time and space, and alters teachers’ teaching status. However, how can we achieve a balance between teacher-led and student-independent inquiry in a digital classroom? I hereby used “Reviewing the Image and Nature of Quadratic Function” as an example, compared and recorded the behavioral performance and results of teachers and students in an experimental comparison, and found that both teachers’ leading and students’ independent inquiring were indispensable, and a balance between them was a must-be goal if a maximal teaching effectiveness was expected.
