Research On The Development And Evolution Of Modern Educational Technology In The Information Age

The development of educational technology is closely related to the development of technology,and the research content of educational technology will change correspondingly with the development of technology and society.In addition,the change of human demand for educational technology research content will also make its research content change.As an important aspect of educational activities,the development course of educational technology has a long history.It is the continuous development of Modern science and technology and Modern educational philosophy,which endows educational technology with rich contents.The technological development of educational technology has experienced numerous changes since its emergence,with many kinds and forms,and has set off a wave after wave of application of educational technology.Informationization is the major trend of the development of today's times,this paper takes the information age as the research background and positions the corresponding technologies according to the analysis of common words in the literature and the time sequence of the mainstream technologies in the information age.Then,i will further roughly sort out the development and evolution of various technologies,find out the track of educational technology development,sum up experiences and lessons,and predict the future direction of technology development.I analyse the technological evolution of educational technology from three aspects:hardware environment,software environment and teaching methods research.The relationship among these three levels is close,the development of hardware and the update of software will affect the reform of teaching methods,and the teaching methods is an important component of educational technology.Among them,the exploration of the evolution of hardware environment is mainly to discuss how to better apply it to teaching in combination with the changing course of hardware environment;Software research mainly studies new technologies appearing in each period and corresponding new technology applications,such as micro-class,massive open online course and courseware,and then analyzes their impacts on education;The change of teaching methods is mainly to study what changes have takenplace in teaching methods after the historical evolution.I hope that it will play a very important role for teachers or others to understand the development process of this technology and provide a reference for researchers to predict the development trend of a certain technology.
