Subject: From Educational technology to learning science
Dear colleagues,
I'm a researcher from Tsinghua University Beijing. In the years, education
technologists in China are facing with the challenges from other research
fields such as instruction and curriculum and educational psychology, insisting
that education technologists are not doing educational technology research but
are working in other fields (instructional theory and design, learning theory).
Under this circumstance, I'm re-thinking the problem of educational technology
as a discipline. Is educational technology a independent discipline? Or should
it be?
Maybe it is the right time for us to integrate the related fields into a new
discipline: Learning Science. If you agree with this idea, would you please tell
me your thoughts about the domain and scope of learning science: its definition,
framework, basic concepts and principles, and methodologies and so on. I'd like
to know your insights into this problem.
Best wishes,
Jianwei
