论教育技术的三大关键矛盾

On the Three Contradictions of Educational Technology

若只从具体的技术问题或教学问题审视教育技术,必然会捕捉到诸多孤立的、零散的、细碎的小问题。然而,众多小问题的背后一定隐藏着不易被察觉的却规定着小问题的大问题,发现并解决大问题,是解决小问题的前提。问题本质上是应当解决而未解决的矛盾,抓住关键矛盾深入思考,有助于解决问题。认识、分析与利用教育技术的三大关键矛盾能够促进教育技术的健康发展。教育技术的本质性矛盾是指教育中人类和工具的矛盾;实践性矛盾已从广大师生对教育工具的多元化需求同供给方所能提供的技术匮乏之间的矛盾,转化为广大师生日益增长的对教育工具的自然需要同供给方的教育理论水平与教育工具水平低下所导致的技术支持不利之间的矛盾;范畴性矛盾是人文社会科学与自然科学的矛盾。可见,唯有认识教育技术三大关键矛盾,才能真正把握教育技术的对立统一规律,才能不断解决问题,使教育技术绽放出和谐之态。

If we analyze educational technology from technical problems or teaching problems,there are bound to be many difficult,scattered,fragmented,and small problems.However,small problems are only appearances,and big problems are the key.The problem is essentially an unresolved contradiction.Grasping the key contradictions in-depth thinking will help to promote the solution of the problem.Understanding,analyzing and using the essential contradictions,practical contradictions,and categorical contradictions of educational technology is exactly the source and motivation that contributes to the development of educational technology.The essential contradiction of educational technology refers to the contradiction between people and tools in education.The practical contradiction has been transformed from the contradiction between the diversified demand for educational tools by the teachers and students and the lack of technology provided by the supplier,to the increasing natural demand for educational tools by the teachers and students and the educational theoretical level of the supplier.The contradiction between the disadvantaged technical support caused by the low level of educational tools.The categorical contradiction is the contradiction between humanities and social sciences and natural sciences.Only by recognizing the three major contradictions of educational technology can we truly understand the educational technology of the unity of opposites,and in the process of constantly resolving contradictions,can the educational technology show a harmonious state.
