Educational technology is an interdisciplinary discipline that focuses on the basic knowledge and skills of education, educational technology, information technology, and multi-technology. It aims to develop students' ability to master the design, development, application, management and evaluation of teaching and learning systems in the field of new technology education.
To put it simply, the Educational Technology major focuses on how to use advanced technological means and tools to carry out teaching activities more effectively and improve educational effectiveness.
Educational Technology majors include Educational Technology, Modern Educational Technology, Educational Technology (Detailed Direction) and Subject Teaching (Mathematics).
1.Educational Technology
This direction is the core field of the postgraduate examination of educational technology, which aims to conduct in-depth research on the basic theories, methods and technical applications of educational technology. Students will systematically study courses such as instructional design, learning science, education and technology, educational software and system development, and master the basic principles and methods of educational technology.
In addition, the program also focuses on cultivating students' independent research ability and innovative spirit, laying the foundation for high-level research and application in the field of educational technology in the future.
2.Modern educational technology
The direction of modern educational technology focuses more on the application of modern science and technology in education, especially cutting-edge technologies such as computer technology, network technology, multi-technology and artificial intelligence. Students will learn how to use these technologies to improve teaching effectiveness, foster learning innovation, and modernize teaching and learning environments.
At the same time, this direction also pays attention to the research and practice of new education models such as advanced education and distance education, and cultivates educational and technical talents with modern educational concepts and technical application capabilities.
3.Educational Technology (Detailed Direction).
Educational technology may refer to more detailed fields or directions of study, such as educational technology assessment, psychology of educational technology, educational technology and social development, etc. These tracks are designed to delve into specific areas and issues in educational technology, providing students with more specialized and in-depth research opportunities.
Students will choose the corresponding courses and research topics according to their interests and the research direction of their supervisors, and conduct in-depth study and research.
4.Subject Teaching (Mathematics).
Subject Teaching (Mathematics) is an interdisciplinary direction that combines mathematics and pedagogy. This program aims to cultivate high-level interdisciplinary talents who understand both mathematics and education, and are competent in mathematics teaching and related teaching and research work in primary and secondary schools.
Students will learn the basic theories and methods of mathematics education, understand the characteristics and rules of mathematics curriculum and teaching, and master the teaching design and implementation ability of mathematics education. At the same time, this direction also focuses on cultivating students' mathematical literacy and educational innovation ability, laying the foundation for future development in the field of mathematics education.
Educational Technology graduates have a wide range of career prospects. They can be engaged in audio-visual education management, courseware production, information technology teaching, campus network management and other work in primary and secondary schools, and can also be engaged in the production of educational programs in radio stations, television stations and other first-class institutions. In addition, with the rise and development of education, graduates majoring in educational technology also have broad employment opportunities in the fields of education platforms and educational technology companies.
