摘要
从历史上看,很难找到有关教育技术趋势的可靠、最新的信息,例如研究人员正在研究什么,从业人员正在使用什么工具,因此,研究人员和从业人员很难以有意义的、对社会有反应的方式协同努力。在这篇社论中,我分析了过去5年中来自著名期刊的7708篇研究文章的标题和摘要,以确定常见的主题,如“在线”、“移动”和“学习分析”。我还从美国51,496所K-12学校和1317所大学的网站中提取链接,以确定他们链接到的常用工具,如Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs和YouTube。我认为,这些度量标准为其他研究人员和实践者在定位他们的工作时提供了一个基本的理解,并且它们也可以让我们深入了解那些值得更多关注的领域,以解决现实世界的问题。
Current Trends (and Missing Links) in Educational Technology Research and Practice.
It has historically been difficult to find reliable, up-to-date information about educational technology trends, such as what researchers are studying and what tools practitioners are using, thereby making it difficult for researchers and practitioners to synergize their efforts in meaningful, socially-responsive ways. In this editorial, I analyze titles and abstracts of 7708 research articles from prominent journals over the past 5 years to identify common topics-such as "online," "mobile," and "learning analytics." I also extract links from 51,496 K-12 school and 1317 university websites in the U.S. to identify common tools that they are linking to-such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs, and YouTube. I propose that these sorts of metrics provide a baseline understanding for other researchers and practitioners to draw upon when situating their work and that they can also give us insights into areas that merit greater attention for addressing real-world problems.
