技术在教育人类学研究中的隐匿、呈现与融合

Invisibility,emergence and integration of technology in educational anthropology

现代社会朝着越来越深度技术化的方向发展。教育人类学在此过程中逐渐与技术交叉、融合,发生了很多变化。目前学界就技术与教育人类学的关系尚缺乏系统的分析。从教育人类学研究的方法、对象和理论建构几个方面进行梳理和分析,呈现了教育人类学研究方法中的技术角色经历了从辅助到拓展、从隐匿到凸显的过程;研究对象技术化特征明显,从电化教育、网络教育到智慧教育,生发出了新的教育人类学研究问题;而在理论构建上,应用了科技人类学理论,却缺乏针对技术时代教育人类学的理论构建。

With technology -based modern society developing fast, educational anthropology has changed a lot by its integration with technology. But up to now there has been a lack of systematic analysis of the relationship between technology and educational anthropology. This paper gives an analysis of the research methods, objects and theories of educational anthropology and concludes that technology has experienced a shift from the role of assistant to a key one and played a more conspicuous part nowadays. This shift finds expression in the following aspects ： from the invisible to the conspicuous, more technology - related research objects, and more research focuses in the aspects of audio - visual education, e - learning and smart education. However, the theoretical construction of educational anthropology in a new technological era is far from satisfactory though some ideas of the anthropology of technology have been accepted.
