Developing a Framework for an International Study of Exemplary Practices in the Application of Technology to K-12Education

制定一个框架，为国际研究的示范做法，在应用技术的K-12教育项目摘要目前的一些努力，以调整教育系统包括技术作为一个重要组成部分的国家战略。在这样做时，决策者和教育工作者特别重要的是要了解技术如何在文化、课程、教育系统目标、评价标准以及技术实施的成本和预期效益的背景下影响学习。为了帮助了解与教育技术应用有关的国家政策决定，特别重要的是要确定和认真记录不同教育系统中的典型做法。对美国和国际教育技术实施经验的精心设计的研究将提供成功战略的例子，并将确定遇到的问题和陷阱以及如何克服它们。这项研究可以确定教师的知识、技能和承诺在成功地将技术融入学习环境方面的重要性，并有助于确定有助于区分各国国内和各国之间成功的技术实施工作的模式和概况。例如，在国家或省一级的技术规划和实施中，可以确定哪些共同的特点和战略？在解决这些问题和其他问题时，这项研究应有助于进一步了解在不同文化背景下如何适当应用技术。它还应说明在各种资源限制下促进教育技术转让的有效方法。教育发展学院（AED）和国际教育技术学会（ISTE）提出了一个项目，该项目将为在K-12教育中应用新信息技术的典型做法的国际研究制定一个框架。该框架将由一个由大约20名国家和国际研究人员、教育工作者和决策者组成的杰出小组制定，他们将参加一个短期密集讲习班。在研讨会之前，将有一大批教育工作者、技术人员和决策者参加为期4-6周的在线讨论，以便就最重要的问题、方法和经验取得广泛的看法。AED和ISTE在解决教育技术的国际问题方面拥有丰富的经验和专业知识。共同调查员和可能受邀者名单（见附件1）中确定的一些个人共同设计了教科文组织信息技术与教育项目：儿童教育信息技术国际研究。这种经验将提供一个知识基础，涉及到许多问题，涉及到设计一个跨国家背景，教育系统和文化的技术研究，并将有助于确保讲习班和随后的在线工作是富有成效的和重点突出的。ITEC研究参与者的经验，加上其他受邀者提供的新观点，将确保为国际研究技术应用于教育的示范做法制定一个连贯和现实的框架。

Developing a Framework for an International Study of Exemplary Practices in the Application of Technology to K-12 Education Project Summary A number of current efforts to restructure educational systems include technology as an important component of the national strategy. In doing so, it is particularly important for decision-makers and educators to understand the ways technology can impact learning in the context of the culture, the curriculum, educational system goals, evaluation criteria, as well as the costs and projected benefits of the technology implementation. To help inform national policy decisions related to the application of technology in education, it is particularly important to identify and carefully document exemplary practices within different educational systems. A well-designed study of U.S. and international experience in educational technology implementation will provide examples of successful strategies and will identify the problems and pitfalls encountered and how they were overcome. The study may identify the importance of the knowledge, skill and commitment of the teacher in successful integration of technology into the learning environment and help define patterns and profiles that may help distinguish successful technology implementation efforts within and across countries. For example, what common characteristics and strategies can be identified in the planning and implementation of technology at the state or provincial level? In addressing these questions and others, the study should help further an understanding of the appropriate application of technology within different cultural contexts. It should also describe effective ways of facilitating the transfer of educational technology under varying resource constraints. The Academy for Educational Development (AED) and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) propose a project that will develop a framework for an international study of exemplary practices in the application of the new information technologies to K-12 education. The framework would be developed by a distinguished group of approximately 20 national and international researchers, educators and policy-makers who would come together in a short-term intensive workshop. Prior to the workshop, a larger group of educators, technologists, and policy-makers will be engaged in a 4-6 week mediated on-line discussion in order to capture a broad view of the most significant issues, approaches and experiences. Both AED and ISTE have extensive experience and expertise in addressing international issues of technology in education. The co-investigators and a number of individuals identified in the potential list of invitees (see Attachment 1 ) have worked together in designing the UNESCO ITEC Project: An International Study of Information Technology in Education of Children. This experience will provide a base of knowledge related to many of the issues related to designing a study of technology across national contexts, educational systems, and cultures and will help assure that the workshop and subsequent on-line work is productive and focused. The experience of the ITEC study participants, coupled with fresh perspectives provided by other invitees, will assure the development of a coherent and realistic framework for an international study of exemplary practices in the application of technology to education.
