摘 要

近来，苹果产品的火爆程度令人瞠目结舌。苹果产品漂亮的外观、强大的功能、完美的终端体验，都是苹果的创新之处。最重要地是，苹果始终将消费者放在第一位，想顾客所想。苹果等电子产品的深入人心则必然会对人们的生活各个方面产生巨大的冲击，包括教育方面。苹果的成功也为中国的教育带来了不少的启示。
本研究基于以苹果为代表的电子终端产品对国内教育理念及教育方式必将带来冲击的假想，通过对学习者使用电子终端产品的需求调查，证明该假想，并试图发现此类产品将在哪些方面对教育现状产生影响或带来哪些启示。
本论文第一部分为简介，说明本论文的研究问题。第二部分回顾了已有苹果系列产品及其对生活的冲击；该部分还对比了中国教育体制与美国教育体制及相关文献说明的现有教育改革的困境，并提出苹果等电子终端产品将对教育带来冲击，或可帮助改善教育现状。第三部分为研究方法；本研究以调查问卷为研究工具，以本科二年级在校大学生为研究对象。研究发现尽管电子终端在学生日常学习过程中发挥了越来越重要的作用，但是现阶段的教学中，电脑等多媒体终端并未能发挥应有的作用，其产生的原因可能是学校、教师和学生在该问题上缺乏沟通，学校或教师对学生需求关注不够。本研究将对电子产品在教学中的作用带来相关佐证，为教学改革提供一定的参考。研究尚存在不足，主要在于问卷设计可能还有待改进，发放量尚欠缺。

Abstract

It amazed everyone to see how popular Apple is nowadays. What fascinates the fans is not only the beautiful appearance, powerful hardware and software, and perfect user experience, but also how Apple cares about every customer. It puts the customers’ needs in the 1st place. So much Apple has changed the way we live; can it change the education in China?
This thesis is based on the hypothesis that digital products, like an Apple’s iPad, would impact Chinese educational concepts and teaching methods, and is intended to prove the assumption with a survey on learners’ needs of digital products in learning. In addition, the thesis tries to find what impacts digital terminals will bring to education.
In the 1st part, this article explains the main subject and introduces the research questions. Then, the thesis goes through the most important products Apple has released and their influences. Also, in this part, educational systems in China and aboard are compared. With the help of literature review, the paper pins down the key problems that plague our current education. By comparing those problems with Apple’s outstanding features, it is expected that Apple’s success could shed some light on the study. The 3rd part shows the research design in the form of a questionnaire with the help of 200 sophomores. Though multi-media are becoming more and more important in learning process, their influence on the current situation remains to be limited. The reason may lie in communication failure among school, teachers and students. In other words, what students really need is not paid enough attention to. In the end, this thesis brings suggestion to the following researches that try to elaborate what role digital products are playing in education.
Still, this study is in need of improvement in some aspects. For instance, the questionnaire hasn’t included all the possible problems, and the limited quantity of distribution of the questionnaires has only revealed the students’ part of thought, rather than the whole.
