چکیده مقاله :
مسئولان آموزشی بر این باورند که تجربه و فناوری می‌تواند پیشرفت تحصیلی کودکان خردسال را افزایش دهد و سطح پنهان تفکر انتقادی آنها را فعال کند. بنابراین، هدف از این مطالعه مقایسه تأثیر میانجی‌‌گرهای انسانی و فناوری بر تفکرانتقادی ، درک مطلب، و توسعه واژگان زبان آموزان کودک با استفاده از تئوری یادگیری تجربی بود. به همین منظور، دو گروه شصت نفری فراگیر (سی دانش‌آموز در هر گروه) در طی چهار ماه در معرض دو نوع میانجی‌گر قرار گرفتند: معلم و تکنولوژی. از پیش آزمون و پس آزمون برای سنجش میزان پیشرفت زبان آموزان در تفکر انتقادی، درک مطلب و تسلط بر واژگان استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که فراگیران در گروه آزمایش با واسطۀ فناوری نسبت به گروه با واسطۀ معلم در سطح تفکر انتقادی، توسعه واژگان و درک مطلب برتری داشتند. این نشان می‌دهد که فراگیرانی که به واسطۀ کامپیوترو فناوری در تعامل هستند، از کسانی که با یک واسطۀ انسان، یعنی معلم تعامل دارند، پیشی می‌گیرند. یافته‌های ما پیشنهاد می‌کند که واسطه‌های غیرانسانی (فناوری) از انسان‌ها قانع‌کننده‌تر هستند، احتمالاً به دلیل ویژگی‌های فریبنده‌شان که انگیزه و الهام یادگیرندگان را افزایش می‌دهد.
Educational experts posit that technology-based experiences can augment students’ academic performance and foster their critical thinking ability. In this study, the efficacy of human-mediated and non-human-mediated environments was compared in terms of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, concerning the critical thinking, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development of young English language learners. Over a period of four months, two groups of 60 learners (30 in each group) were exposed to mediation via two modalities: teacher-made and computer-made mediators. Pre-tests and post-tests were deployed to gauge learners’ progress in critical thinking, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development. The findings evinced those learners who received technology-mediated instruction outperformed the teacher-mediated group in terms of critical thinking, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension. It is evident that learners who interacted with a computer mediator trumped those who interacted with a human-made mediator, i.e., the teacher. This could be attributed to the alluring features of non-human mediators (technology), which are evidently more compelling than their human counterparts.
