必须加强教育技术基础理论研究

Necessity of Strengthening Research on Basic Theory of Educational Technology

基础理论作为教育技术学科发展的重要根基与源泉,至今没有充分发挥应发挥的学术作用,也没有取得应取得的学术成就,并且还没有引起教育技术学界应有的重视。而偏向工具应用、忽视基础理论研究所产生的不良表现却大面积地存在并严重影响了教育技术学科健康发展,更严重的后果是误导了整个教育领域对教学媒体的认知。缺乏基础理论研究使教育技术学科失去了根本定力,致使教育技术学界乱象丛生。为走出学科危境、战胜学科困阻,必须加强基础理论研究,目的是给教育技术工作者以人性的陶冶、价值的体悟和视野的拓展,唤醒他们对教育技术意义、价值、理想、伦理、行为等的理性审思,提升他们对教育技术的认识高度。文章聚焦探讨教育技术基础理论研究的必要性,初步提出了教育技术基础理论研究的基本原则和研究范畴,旨在为基础理论研究工作者提供参考。

As an important foundation and source for the development of educational technology,the basic theory has not played its full academic role and achieved the academic achievement it should,and it has not attracted due attention from the educational technology academic field.Instead,the undesirable performance caused by favoring the application of tools and neglecting the basic theoretical research exists in a large area and seriously affects the healthy development of educational technology discipline.And the more serious consequence is that it misleads the cognition of teaching media in the whole education field.The lack of basic theoretical research makes educational technology discipline lose its fundamental focus,resulting in chaos in the educational technology field.In order to get out of the discipline’s crisis and overcome the discipline’s obstacles,it is necessary to strengthen the basic theoretical research.The purpose is to give educational technology workers the cultivation of human nature,the appreciation of value and the expansion of vision,to awaken their rational thinking about the meaning,value,ideal,ethics and behavior of educational technology,and to enhance their understanding of educational technology.This paper focuses on the necessity of exploring the basic theory research of educational technology,and initially proposes the basic principles and research scope of the basic theory research of educational technology,aiming to provide a reference for the basic theory research workers.
