Εξ αποστάσεως εκπαιδευτικό υλικό: Ο Gagné συναντά τα μαθησιακά στυλ των Felder-Silverman- ένα παράδειγμα συμπληρωματικής εξ αποστάσεως σχολικής εκπαίδευσης στα Μαθηματικά

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the design, development, and evaluation of distance learning educational material (DLEM) through a newly proposed model that combines Gagné’s model with learning styles. Specifically, the paper creates DLEM using a combined model of Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction and the Felder-Silverman learning styles, with Mathematics in Secondary Education as an example. For this purpose, DLEM was developed for the subject of Algebra in the 10th grade (A’ Lyceum), focusing on the unit “First-Degree Inequalities.” The DLEM was evaluated by two experts in distance education regarding its compatibility with the principles and methodology of distance learning, and by two secondary school mathematics teachers regarding its scientific validity and pedagogical adequacy. The overall evaluation indicated that the newly proposed model, combining Gagné’s model with the Felder-Silverman learning styles, pedagogically fulfills the requirements of distance education and complementary distance schooling, thus shaping a comprehensive pedagogical model of DLEM that contributes to the development of 21^st century skills.
