Educational Technology Research and Development

期刊简介：Educational Technology Research and Development is the only scholarly journal in the field focusing entirely on research and development in educational technology.The Research Section assigns highest priority in reviewing manuscripts to rigorous original quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods studies on topics relating to applications of technology or instructional design in educational settings. Such contexts include K-12, higher education, and adult learning (e.g., in corporate training settings). Analytical papers that evaluate important research issues related to educational technology research and reviews of the literature on similar topics are also published. This section features well-documented articles on the practical aspects of research as well as applied theory in educational practice and provides a comprehensive source of current research information in instructional technology.The Development Section publishes research on planning, implementation, evaluation and management of a variety of instructional technologies and learning environments. Empirically based formative evaluations and theoretically based instructional design research papers are welcome, as are papers that report outcomes of innovative approaches in applying technology to instructional development. Papers for the Development section may involve a variety of research methods and should focus on one aspect of the instructional development process or more; when relevant and possible, papers should discuss the implications of instructional design decisions and provide evidence linking outcomes to those decisions. The Cultural and Regional Perspectives Section (formerly International Review) welcome s innovative research about how technologies are being used to enhance learning, instruction, and performance specific to a culture or region. Educational technology studies submitted to this section should be situated in cultural contexts that critically examine issues and ideologies prevalent in the culture or region or by individuals or groups in the culture or region. Theoretical perspectives can be broadly based and inclusive of research, such as critical race theory, cultural-historical activity theory, and cultural models. Papers published in this section include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods articles and reviews drawing on relevant theories, empirical evidence, and critical analyses of the findings, implications, and conclusions within a cultural context.Educational Technology Research and Development publishes special issues on timely topics of interest to the community, in addition to regular papers.

【译文】《教育技术研究和开发》是唯一一本专注于教育技术研究和开发的学术期刊。研究部分在审稿时将最高优先级赋予与教育环境中技术应用或教学设计相关的严格原创定量、定性或混合方法研究。这些环境包括K-12、高等教育和成人学习（例如，在企业培训环境中）。此外，还发表评估与教育技术研究相关的重要研究问题的分析论文以及类似主题的文献综述。该部分特色是关于研究实践方面的详细文章以及教育实践中的应用理论，提供了关于教学技术当前研究信息的全面来源。开发部分发表关于各种教学技术和学习环境规划、实施、评估和管理的研究。欢迎基于经验的形成性评估和基于理论的教学设计研究论文，以及报告将技术应用于教学开发创新方法结果的论文。开发部分的论文可能涉及各种研究方法，应关注教学开发过程的一个方面或多个方面；当相关且可能时，论文应讨论教学设计决策的影响，并提供将结果与这些决策联系起来的证据。文化和区域视角部分（以前称为国际评论）欢迎关于如何利用技术增强特定文化或地区的学习、教学和表现的创新研究。提交给该部分的教育技术研究应置于文化背景下，批判性地审视文化或地区中普遍存在的问题和意识形态，或由文化或地区中的个人或群体。理论视角可以广泛而包容，包括批判种族理论、文化-历史活动理论和文化模型等研究。该部分发表的论文包括基于相关理论、经验证据和对文化背景下发现、影响和结论的批判性分析的定量、定性、混合方法文章和综述。此外，《教育技术研究和开发》还出版关于社区感兴趣的主题的特刊，以及常规论文。
