摘要

本文介绍了英国开放教科书项目,并从促进开放实践和开放教学的角度探讨了其成功因素。教科书仍然是科学教育的核心部分。开放教科书是开放许可的学术教科书,其中数字版本是免费提供的,而印刷版则降低了成本。它们是开放教育资源(OER)的一种形式。近年来,一些开放许可的教科书在美国、加拿大和南非等国家表现出了很高的影响力。英国开放教科书项目在2017年至2018年期间在英国试点了几种既定的方法来使用和推广开放教科书(重点是STEM科目)。该项目有两个主要目的:促进英国采用开放教科书;并调查在北美出现的成功采用模式的可转移性。通过在一系列高等教育机构举办的一系列研讨会和在特定教育会议上的有针对性的推广,该项目成功地提高了英国国内开放教科书的知名度。几个案例研究报告了在英国科学中使用开放教科书的现有例子。英国学术界对开放教科书有相当大的兴趣和胃口。这部分与学生节省成本有关,但更重要的因素是改编和开发教科书和OER的自由。这与在其他国家进行的一系列研究是一致的,并且表明对英国科学教育的潜在影响是很大的。

Open Textbooks as an innovation route for open science pedagogy
The paper introduces the UK Open Textbook project and discusses its success factors with regards to promoting open practice and open pedagogy. Textbooks remain a core part of educational provision in science. Open Textbooks are openly licensed academic textbooks, wherein the digital version is available freely, and the print version at reduced cost. They are a form of Open Educational Resource (OER). In recent years a number of openly-licensed textbooks have demonstrated high impact in countries including the USA, Canada and South Africa. The UK Open Textbooks project piloted several established approaches to the use and promotion open textbooks (focusing on STEM subjects) in a UK context between 2017 and 2018. The project had two main aims: to promote the adoption of open textbooks in the UK; and to investigate the transferability of the successful models of adoption that have emerged in North America. Through a number of workshops at a range of higher education institutions and targeted promotion at specific education conferences, the project successfully raised the profile of open textbooks within the UK. Several case studies report existing examples of open textbook use in UK science were recorded. There was considerable interest and appetite for open textbooks amongst UK academics. This was partly related to cost savings for students, but more significant factors were the freedom to adapt and develop textbooks and OER. This is consistent with a range of research that has taken place in other countries and suggests the potential for impact on UK science education is high.
