信息技术是科学性、技术性、实践性极强的一门课程,它的一些概念与定义,往往会令没有相应知识准备的初中学生难于理解。面对问题我苦苦地寻求解决的方法。后来我发现,信息技术学科的很多名词是由喻体而来。如“电脑”、“网络”、“信息高速公路”、“鼠标”、“桌面”、“墙纸”、“窗口”、“菜单”、“按钮”、“文件”、“盲打”等,这些名词有助于计算机新手的学习和入门。于是我尝试在信息技术教学中巧用比喻,果然效果不错。 Information technology is a scientific, technical and practical course. Its concepts and definitions often make it difficult for junior high school students who do not have corresponding knowledge to understand. In the face of problems, I am struggling to find a solution. Later I discovered that many nouns in the discipline of information technology were metaphorically derived. Such as “computer”, “network”, “information superhighway”, “mouse”, “desktop”, “wallpaper”, “window”, “menu”, “button”, “file”, “blind”, etc. The nouns help newcomers to learning and getting started. So I tried to use metaphors in the teaching of information technology. It really worked well.
