今天继续来科普更多的小众专业:教育技术(Technologies)
这是干嘛的呢?
Instructional Technology is the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of processes and resources for learning.
翻译过来就是:教育技术是关于学习资源和学习过程的设计、开发、利用、管理和评价的理论和实践。
通俗一点来讲,教育技术就是利用新科技或新技术来变革教育。新科技或新技术包括但不限于虚拟现实、增强现实、人工智能等;研究的领域包括移动学习、在线学习、远程教育、STEM教育、教育游戏、人工智能、创客等。近年来,我们可以看到技术在飞速发展,但教育的进步却始终跟不上技术的革新。因此,教育技术作为一个新型专业,具备很强的发展前景。
随着高科技的发展,和在生活中的普遍应用,这一专业在国内目前的前景巨大。那么在美国从哪里可以学到这一专业呢?
哥伦毕业大学Teachers College的Instructional Technology and Media
印第安纳大学(伯明顿)的Instructional System Technology
纽约大学的Digital Media Design for Learning
卡内基梅隆大学的Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science
哈佛大学MA in Technology, Innovation, and Education (TIE)
纽约大学Digital Media Design for Learning
等等等等。。。
以哈佛大学的专业描述来举例:
The Technology, Innovation, and Education (TIE) Program nurtures creative leaders in education toward researching and designing new technologies and media that promote powerful teaching and engaged learning.
TIE asks you to consider, "Who are the users, and what educational challenges are they grappling with?" — choosing the medium or technology that delivers the most effective learning experience for your specific goal. Technology is the means, not the mission, for harnessing innovation and creativity to improve educational outcomes for all learners.
课程这块涉及到的知识有:
Curriculum Information
TIE examine cutting-edge technologies that bridge distance and time, the research behind them and the design that goes into them – but we always center on the cognitive, affective, and social dimensions of learning, not on hardware or fashion.
The curriculum is designed to be both comprehensive and customizable, bridging three critical areas: design, implementation, and research. The goal is to help you prepare for a dynamic leadership career in technology development, entrepreneurship, and policy; online, mobile, and social media design; research and evaluation; teaching and administration; or in any of the many other education and technology fields in which TIE graduates are now working.
View Requirements:
You will complete seven courses (28 credits) made up of four technology-related electives, three additional electives, and one TIE internship experience. Participation in a TIE internship may be replaced by a technology-related elective. Your faculty adviser will help plot a learning experience to fulfill your individual goals. You are also asked to demonstrate thougtful engagement with issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion by taking a course or internship that focuses on these issues.
You will receive a firm grounding in three key areas:
principles of creative design
leadership skills required to implement new technology and media projects
research that informs our understanding of teaching and learning, and our ability to evaluate the effectiveness of media and technology projects.
