Issues and Trends in the Field of Educational Technology: A Review of AECT 2014-2015 Experts爷Viewpoints

几十年来，美国教育传播与技术协会(AECT)一直致力于探讨教育技术领域的基本问题和未来发 展。2014 年，该协会举办了专家讨论会，并在其主办的杂志《TechTrends》连续多期刊登专家关于教育技术未来 的思考。本文基于专家研讨会和期刊论文十三位学者的思想，总结分析了教育技术领域的五个基本问题:名称、 技术与教育技术关系、社会认同、教育技术与学习科学的关系、人才培养，并对五个方面的未来走向作了探讨:技 术对本领域的影响将更深刻、教育技术引领教育变革、教学设计更加关注实践与成果、在线教育更加关注质量以 及未来教育技术的研究方向。

As a new field focusing on applying emerging technology to education， educational technology is developing rapidly and moving towards prosperity. The Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) is a professional association committed to explore fundamental questions and future development in the field of educational technology. At the AECT 2014 International Convention， a panel discussion on ＂ the future of instructional design programs ＂ was held. At the same time， ＂ TechTrends＂ ， a magazine issued by AECT， set up a column called “ positing the future'' in September 2014. Based on these two parts of sources ， we analyzed 12 experts ’ opinions to help understand the five basic problems in educational technology， including the naming problem， the connection of technology and educational technology， the social acceptance of our field， the relationship between educational technology and learning science， and the talent training issue. Then， we give our opinions on five future trends in the field ： the impact of technology in our field will be deeper; Educational technology will lead changes in education ； Instructional design should focus on both practice and production at the same time ； Online education should care more about quality. The field of educational technology has been changing， which is one part of its charm. As a Chinese educational technologist， we should clearly understand the problems exist in the filed， such as inconsistent name of educational technology， unrecognized social status， etc. At the same time， we should remember that emerging technologies have been promoting the development of our field， and “ instructional design' remains at the heart of educational technology. Our goal is to promote learning and improve learning performances. We need to keep an open mind and have a proactive mind in solving various educational problems. Spreading and communicating the knowledge of the field is also important. Through collaboration， the field of educational technology will lead the reform of education in the near future.
