摘　　要：教育技术学是否有或者应该有自己的研究方法?这是教育技术学研究领域一直存在的一个争议问题。任何一个领域或者学科都没有必要强求专属于本领域或本学科的研究方法。选择恰当和合理的研究方法才是科学研究最为重要的问题。在以往的研究中,我们更多关注教育技术学学科本身,却忽视教育技术学发展过程中人的作用与价值。回顾教育技术学发展历史,关键人物是推动这一学科本土化发展的原动力。传记研究对于关注社会发展过程中个人历史的作用以及个人与文化群体、个人与社会变迁的研究来说,有明显的优势。因为它的架构是历史的,背景是社会学的,目的是文化人类学的。它以生命经验为研究核心,重视个人主体性的表达和过程资料的提供,重视叙述性、脉络性和历史性等方面的价值,能够克服量化与质性研究方法的对立,避免理论探究与实证经验的分离,因此可以作为一种有效的沟通工具,了解个人及其所处的时代背景。在教育技术研究领域运用传记研究方法,可以将技术促进与改善教育作为联系的焦点,审视"人"通过技术在教育领域中的种种自我表演,为梳理教育技术基本思想和发展历程提供方法和途径。It remains a controversial issue whether the educational technology has or need to develop its own research methods.It is not necessary for any discipline to have a unique research method of its own,and what is the most significant is to choose the proper and reasonable research method.Past researches focused more on educational technology itself and neglected the roles and values of human beings.Review of the history of the educational technology shows that some critical people are the impetus to motivate the localization of this discipline.Biographical study method is obviously advantageous in examining the historical significance of individuals in social development as well as individuals＇ relationship with cultural groups and social changes,because it is historical in structure,sociological in background and anthropological in purpose.Biographical study method focuses on life experience,individuals＇ subjective expression and provision of historical information.Its emphasis on narration,context and history can overcome the conflict between qualitative and quantitative methods,avoiding the partition of theoretical study and empirical practice.Thus,it can serve as an effective communication tool for understanding individuals and their historical background.By applying it into the research of educational technology,we can focus on the promotion of education through technology,examine the performance of individuals in education via technology and find an approach to sort out the basic thoughts and progress of educational technology.
