现代远距离教育

媒介生态学(Media Ecology)是运用生态学的方法和理论研究媒介的一门科学。它起源于人文技术哲学领域,经过伊尼斯、麦克卢汉、波兹曼等人的发展,于20世纪60年代末成为一门学科,并于20世纪末开始传入国内。国内媒介生态学学者从学科交叉的角度和继承国外哲学思辨的角度出发进行研究,所关注的侧重点有所不同。因此,在媒介生态学的发展历史中,可以清晰看到两种截然不同的研究范式——即从学科交叉的视角出发的"以媒介为中心"的研究范式和从哲学思辨层面出发的"以人为中心"的研究范式。对教育技术研究者来说,这两种范式互为补充,给教育技术的发展带来了新的启示。

Media Ecology is the study of media environments,the idea that technology and techniques,modes of information and codes of communication play a leading role in human affairs. It originated from the field of humanistic philosophy of technology,and on the way to a discipline by,among others,Innis,McLuhan,Postman in 1960 s. It began to spread into China at the end of 20 th century.Domestic scholars research from two different perspectives,one is cross- discipline and the other is inheriting the philosophical speculation from abroad,and their concerns are also different. Thus,in the history of media ecology,we can clearly see two very different research paradigms —— that is,the " media- centric" research paradigm starts from the perspective of interdisciplinary and " people- centered" research paradigm starts from philosophical speculation. These two research paradigms can be complementary,and bring researchers the new enlightenment of the development of educational technology.
