What are the research fields of educational technology?

The research field of educational technology should include the theory and practice of learning process and the design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of learning resources.

1. design: the design of learning process and learning resources refers to the detailed planning of students' learning process, emphasizing the determination of specific teaching objectives on the basis of fully analyzing learners' characteristics, and the systematic design of teaching content and teaching strategies, so that each student can obtain learning resources suitable for his own study in an effective learning environment and make each student's study successful.

2. Development: refers to the development and application research based on printing technology, audio-visual technology, computer technology and comprehensive technology in the process of education and teaching. For example, the development of teaching information resources, radio and television teaching system and network teaching system engineering based on information technology all belong to the development category.

3. Utilization: Emphasize the utilization and promotion of the latest research results of various technologies and related disciplines and various information resources, strengthen the institutionalization and legalization of utilization and promotion, and ensure the continuous innovation of educational technology means.

4. Management: refers to the planned organization, coordination, supervision and control of various learning resources, including teaching development project management, resource management, teaching transmission system management and information management. Management is the guarantee to ensure the effective implementation of educational technology.

5. Evaluation: it is a process of using scientific and technological means to measure and measure the teaching results in a standardized way and give value judgments. Evaluation is the main monitoring means to determine whether teaching and learning achieve their goals.

Educational technology:

There is a rich discussion on the definition of educational technology in China. The magazines of China Audio-visual Education and Audio-visual Education Research have published papers on the understanding of the definition of educational technology by almost all important domestic scholars.

Due to the development of media technology and the innovation of theoretical concepts, the international education community deeply feels that the original name of audio-visual education can no longer represent the field of practice and research. On June 25th, 1970, the American Audiovisual Education Association was renamed as the Association of Educational Communication and Technology (AECT).

1972, the association officially named its practice and research field as educational technology. After the name of educational technology was determined, people began to explore its definition.

1970 in the report to the editor-in-chief and congress, the educational technology Committee, a professional advisory body of the U.S. government, pointed out: "Educational technology is a systematic method to design, implement and evaluate the whole process of learning and teaching based on the study of human learning and communication according to specific goals."
