The Current Themes In Educational Technology

·         The effects of technology compared to traditional models of instruction.

·         The impact and quality of educational technology research.

·         Examining learning processes in open-ended learning environments (OLEs) and technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) in which students could apply technology to solve higher-order problems.

·         Examining outcomes in “situated learning” contexts, developed to engage learners in simulations and higher-order processing involving authentic problems.

·         Increasing emphases on “design-based research” to examine the effectiveness of TELEs and other computer-based instructional products within specific school contexts.

·         Studies on cutting-edge technology applications such as distance learning and Web-based learning.

·         “Design and development research” that examines the efficacy of computer-based tools and products for applications within specific contexts.

What are among the most popular research design?

·         True Experimental Research Design

·         Quasi Experimental Research Design

·         Descriptive Research Design

Tema semasa penyelidikan di dalam teknologi pengajaran:

1. Keberkesanan penggunaan teknologi berbanding kaedah tradisional di dalam pembelajaran

2. Impak dan kualiti pendidikan hasil penyelidikan teknologi adalah berdasarkan kepada:

teknologi sebagai tutor (grafik dan animasi dapat menarik minat pelajar berbanding buku teks)

teknologi sebagai bahan bantu belajar (meningkatkan kemahiran guru dalam menyusun dan menyampaikan pengajaran)

teknologi sebagai alat pembelajaran  (kecekapan pelajar dalam mencari maklumat, membuat graf dan berkomunikasi melalui persembaham multimedia)

Antara reka bentuk penyelidikan yang popular ialah:

reka bentuk eksperimen (True & Quasi experiment)

reka bentuk “mixed method”
