Educational modernization is developing at an amazing speed in University. Not only advanced teaching facilities and teaching resources,but also qualified teachers with higher teaching capacity will be needed in the development of education. Only in this way, Educational modernization can be guaranteed.The Ministry of Education has enacted many relevant rules and documents in order to improve the technical capacity of teacher in colleges and universities, and many experts and scholars gave certain interpretation and analysis on informational technology literacy and educational technology capacity of university or college teachers. Currently, there are many training of information technology and curriculum integration for the teacher, but these trainings cannot refer to a uniform standard. So far, the state has not yet issued educational technology capabilities standards for college Teacher. Therefore, requirements of educational technology capacity are unsystematic in our country's college teachers.Military colleges and Universities, as an important component in the national education system, undertake education and training for the troops and foster the talent for the army in carrying its important mission. By establishing a educational technology capacity standards for Military Academy teacher, we can foster new military talents and promote education technology capacity standards issue for local colleges and universities of teacher.Studies about information literacy standards and the educational technology capacity of teacher were initiated very earlier in Europe and the United States, Japan and other developed countries. It will be of a great reference value on the educational technical capacity standards of China's teacher to analysis the overseas precious experience.1.The capacity standards of educational technology or information technology has been a important indicators for evaluation of teachers in all countries, and a large number of outstanding teaching cases have been employed in the process of formulation and implementation of standards.2, Emphasize the conscious use of information technology in the day-to-day teaching activities of a teacher, such as in Sweden.3, It has been pay more attention to that the information technology and curriculum integration is an important component of the educational technology capacity in all countries.Although it is later to initiate the research on educational technology standards in our country, the Experts of the National Teacher Informational Education Committee made recommendations Education Teachers Secretary to the Ministry of Education to - should be enacted as soon as possible China's "primary and secondary school teachers educational technology competency standards." from its establishment .Although many scholars have researched educational technology standards from different starting point and analyzed different perspectives, there are many elements in common about their view on the teacher's capacity or the quality of educational technology.1, Most of researchers think that the teacher's attitude and awareness to educational technology directly impact the degree and effect in the use of technology in the teaching process. Therefore, the educational technology attitudes and awareness are the first element.2, compared with educational technology standards in primary and secondary schools'teachers, the teaching research work is more emphasized to university teachers.3, The technical skill is essential requirements for both primary and secondary school teachers and college teachers.4, The national research should not stayed at the regulations and requirements of educational technology literacy and capacity, and present the training of technical capacity unified action and evaluation standards. Therefore, further study are also needed.We should not only inherit and learn from, but also innovate and develop advanced experience. Our standards must be reflected according to the national conditions and characteristics of military. In our research , the greatest innovation is to present educational technology standards requirements, to link the special role of teachers in military academies, to aim at the urgent request to the military academy of teacher competency in the future information warfare.In information era, education concepts, methods, the contents of education and education targets have been changed correspondingly. Teachers must be actively in adjusting the ideas and concepts, identifying with and adapting the development of informational education. In the Informational teaching environment, the role of teachers and the ability structure should have the new requirements.Compared with primary and secondary school teachers, educational technology capability standards of college teachers has the following difficulties : such as taking teaching work lightly and taking scientific research work heavily; lack of the education system theory and knowledge; wide distribution of disciplines. At the same time, compared with primary and secondary school teachers, it has a certain advantage in improving university teacher's ability of educational technology, because they are a high degree of intelligence-intensive people with lot of educational background and academic knowledge. It is required to improve general quality and smart capability structure for professional and occupational college teachers.We Referenced the "hierarchy theory" of the psychologist, Vernon of the United Kingdom, who developed the theory of Shipierman, and set up five levels of teacher Educational technology capacity by using a layered architecture model. The bottom is the attitude and awareness: including the understanding of the importance of educational technology; the understanding of the role of educational technology in modern teaching, as well as concerns about the combination of academic theory and teaching activities.The second layer is the basic theory and knowledge of education technology. Including the basic teaching and learning theories, the basic theory of instructional design and media technology, as well as the basic IT knowledge.The third layer is the ability of educational technology applications, including of managing students learning activities by technical means, the effective integration of information technology and disciplines. The fourth layer is the teacher's innovation capabilities. Including the design and development of software, exploration the teaching models in informational teaching environment.The top layer is the responsibility requirements of the information society. Including teaching communication, collaboration, the application safety and consciousness of teaching resources confidentialityContracting with layer and the layer, the under must be a basis of the topper. In general, we should have the capability to the under level, a basis ability, but we can not just stop at the lower one. The topper capacity let us to know the importance of under level in turn. Having a good educational technology capability at all levels should be more balanced, and these capabilities should not be independent, they should be able to perform a holistic function.After the restructuring of military academies and universities, military education has more emphasis on education by combining theory with practice, and more emphasis on manipulative ability. Therefore, we must establish and study the educational technology standard of military academies teachers according to the direction of educational reform and development.The awareness of information technology is a key character of Military university teachers. They are military teachers and educators for army. They must integrate this awareness into their teaching practices, foster the high-quality information technology military talents for the future war.Therefore, based on the structural framework of teacher educational technology capacity, combined with the analysis of teacher's particularity in the military academy, we added the information warfare awareness in the framework as the new level. According to the analysis of frame structure of teacher educational technology capacity, we designed a survey to find out the status of military teachers and educational technology ability. The questionnaire included the following five aspects: (1) the attitude and awareness of Educational Technology (2) the mastery of Educational Technology theory and technology (3) the application of Educational Technology theory and technology (4) the innovation of Educational Technology Theory and Technology (5) the social responsibility of the information societyXX questionnaires were send out, reclamation valid questionnaires were XX. These valid questionnaires were analyzed and classified into several categories. In accordance with the principles of scientific, comprehensive, practical, developmental, uniform, and military, we suggested different requirements for different groups of teacher's educational technology capability characteristics. The teachers were classified into A and B groups according to their professional and technical capacity, corresponding to senior professional and technical personnel Grade A standards, the early to mid-level professional and technical personnel Grade B standard.We studied the architecture of"main criteria +guideline"from standards of educational Technology in the United States and China's primary and secondary schools teacher, referenced the military teacher's educational technology capacity structure , and analysed the status of educational technology capability of university teachers. We can divided military educational technology competency standards into six dimensions. The first draft had been examined and revised by more than 40 educational technology experts. Eventually, the preliminary standards of military educational technology capability were made. It includes :1, The attitude and awareness of educational technology - teachers must have a clear recognition that the educational technology capacity is one of the professional capability of teachers required; that educational technology played the important role in the teaching practice. Teachers desired understanding the concept and basic theory of the Educational Technology. They want to master the basic skills of educational technology initiative.2, The information awareness - the military academy teachers must have the military and creative capacity of the educational technology. As a military academy teacher, they must be familiar with the characters of information warfare, master the information equipments, be clear with the characteristics of information in warfare talent training, understand the function of educational technology and have the unique safety awareness of information warfare.3, The mastery of basic theory and basic knowledge of Education Technology– Teachers should understand the development history of the educational technology; Understand the connotation and extension of basic concepts of educational technology; understand the theoretical basis of educational technology; master the basic theory of instructional design; be familiar with the basic knowledge and skills of IT ; master the basic theory of the integration of information technology and curriculum; master the skills related to information technology.4, The application of basic educational technology theories and techniques in the teaching practice- teachers should be able to plan and set up the teaching and learning activities, practice the effective integration of the information technology and curriculum; implement effective teaching to adapt different students by selecting the suitable methods, make effective group and evaluation, can analysis the teaching results and select teaching strategies by using the fit technical means.5, The innovation capacity of educational technology theory and technic - teachers should involve the educational technology research combining with their own disciplines, design and develop the teaching courseware, create the teaching environment from multi-angles, promote the development of student's knowledge and skills, cultivate the high-level thinking abilities of students.6, The social responsibility of the information society- understand the laws, regulations, and intellectual property rights related to technology; teach and demonstrate the teaching resources in lawful and healthy use for students, communicate and cooperate with students, parents, colleagues and education technology professionals, and they can carry out them in the self-study, promote their own professional development by technical supporting.Military Academy teacher educational technology standards fill a blank of research in China and promote the disciplines of military educational technology development. By researching and drawing up educational technology capacity standards, we can form a guideline for standards research. In further studies, we should suggest the training objectives, training contents, training modes and form the training programs for the training of educational technology in military teachers.The standards were examined and revised by educational technology experts. Because of time-limiting, we have a little investigation and analysis from the professional teachers and managers. Although our standards may be limited and are still very rough, it is also necessary to apply in the practice .
