Research and Prospect of Educational Technology in China

Abstract:

In the crucial decade, Chinese educational technology has been growing steadily. Doctoral Dissertation has high academic value, which lays a solid foundation for the discipline. A statistical study on 121 doctoral dissertations on educational technology is conducted, which includes publisher, year of publication, cited frequency, tutor, key words, research category as well as methodology by using Excel 2003, Note Express 2.0 and POSTCM 6.0 as the tools for statistical study. At last, the conclusions have been made. First, a variety of colleges and universities have carried out the research on educational technique, and the research questions cover a range of disciplines. Second, the study on educational technique, as a whole has been growing steadily. Third, instructional design and system development is still the study subject, and moreover, e-learning study turns to be a hot area of research. Fourth, in the aspect of tutor, inter-collegiate training and joint training can be seen. Fifth, learning, technique, instruction, design, system have become the key words. Sixth, the research category is relatively uniform, and information technology has become the focus of the research. Last, the research methods of educational technique have been notable characterized by diversity and a new paradigm has emerged.
