Pedagogical principle based e-learning exploration: A case of construction mediation training

Abstract

E-learning increasingly serves institutes as a fundamental infrastructure that enables teachers to provide students with diverse knowledge and to strengthen interactions between teachers and students. In the implementation of e-Learning, one of the most essential prerequisites is the understanding of underlying pedagogy. Most e-learning providers perceive themselves as mere providers of technology. They seldom inform learners how to select learning materials to teach and learn. The learning path, as a routine to guide learner to select the appropriate learning material, is therefore a significant issue for considering any single learning path cannot adapt to all learners. Therefore, this paper proposes a new pedagogical principle-based e-learning framework for identifying customised learning paths. Based on the framework, a construction mediation training system is introduced. The system has pioneered such a learning path to guide learners to start at preferred position and make efficient bargaining exchange to achieve “win-win” settlement. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the e-learning system.
