复杂性理论在教育技术学中的研究分析与评述

Analysis and Review of the Application of Complexity Theory to Education Technology

复杂性理论改变了人们原有简单、线性思考问题的方式,将事物间的关系与内部的本质呈现了出来。教育技术学作为一门交叉学科迫切需要复杂性理论提供理论支持与方法支撑。通过梳理国内现有研究文献,对教育技术的设计、开发、利用、管理和评价五大领域中复杂性理论的研究现状进行分析与评述,发现在教育技术各个领域中都有复杂性理论的研究。在设计领域,复杂性适应系统、混沌理论以及复杂性思维被应用于教学设计中;在开发、利用与管理领域,研究大多基于复杂网络视角进行的研究;在评价领域,综合模糊评价法的应用较广。在分析复杂性理论在教育技术学中的现有成果的基础上,通过建立复杂性系统科学与教育技术新的研究关系,以促进复杂性理论在教育技术领域更深入的研究。

Complexity theory changed people＇s original simple,linear way of thinking,and presented the relationship between things and their internal essence. Education technology,as a cross subject,urgently needs the theoretical and method supports provided by complexity theory. Based on the domestic literature review,this paper analyzed and commented the research status quo of complexity theory in the five fields of design,development,utilization,management and evaluation of education technology. It found that there was complexity theory research in every field of education technology. In the field of design,complex adaptive system,chaos theory and complexity thinking have been applied in teaching design. In the field of development,utilization and management,most studies are based on the perspective of complex network. In the field of evaluation,the comprehensive fuzzy evaluation is widely applied. Based on the analysis of achievements of complexity theory in education technology,through the establishment of new research relationship between the complex system science and education technology,further studies on complexity theory in the field of education technology will be promoted.
