Abstract

This paper explores the influence of the concept of interdisciplinarity on the work of educational technologists and others involved in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) research. There is a growing recognition of the need for interdisciplinarity in solving complex research problems in many areas of science. Technology-enhanced learning is a relatively young area of research adopting a multidisciplinary approach to investigating the use of technologies for learning. This makes it a field that is worthy of exploration in terms of how the ways of working developed by its practitioners inform our understanding of the challenges of the field as well as its benefits. This paper reporting on work commissioned by the Joint Research Councils’ programme on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a discussion of the growing literature on this topic, and a study of the working practices of academics in TEL research. An interview study of 18 participants was conducted as part of the project. The paper reports on the key findings from the interviews and concludes with some practical suggestions to help participants deal with the challenges posed by interdisciplinary working in TEL research.
技术促进学习的跨学科:一项访谈研究
本文探讨了跨学科概念对教育技术专家和其他参与技术促进学习(TEL)研究的人的工作的影响。人们日益认识到在解决许多科学领域的复杂研究问题时需要跨学科。技术促进学习是一个相对年轻的研究领域,采用多学科方法来调查技术对学习的使用。这使得它成为一个值得探索的领域,就其从业者开发的工作方式如何告知我们对该领域挑战的理解以及它的好处而言。这份报告是由联合研究委员会“科技促进学习计划”委托进行的工作,提供了关于这一主题的越来越多的文献的讨论,并研究了学者在科技促进学习研究方面的工作实践。作为该项目的一部分,对18名参与者进行了访谈研究。本文报告了访谈的主要发现,并总结了一些实用的建议,以帮助参与者应对TEL研究中跨学科工作所带来的挑战。
