Abstract
Even if the term is not a uniform one and is characterized by different disciplines, the use of (mostly computer-supported) devices and media for analyzing, designing and/or supporting teaching and learning processes can be subsumed under Educational Technologies. Educational technologies are very diverse and can be used on the levels of individual or collaborative learning, teaching, and even school organization. Despite efforts to build a technical infrastructure in schools, national educational monitoring indicates that the perceived ease of use of educational technologies has not increased as a result. The articles in this issue also illustrate the diversity of educational technologies. This diversity is accompanied by the fact that the conditions under which the respective technology unfolds the desired benefit are very heterogeneous and generalizable statements on the successful use of educational technologies can only be formulated with difficulty. Nevertheless, research efforts in the field of educational technologies seem to be worthwhile in order to exploit their potential for pedagogical and teaching processes.
期刊介绍:
Unterrichtswissenschaft – Zeitschrift für Lernforschung ("Journal for Teaching and Learning") publishes research on learning and instruction in pre-school, school, higher education, occupational settings and various informal learning environments. The journal presents theoretical approaches and empirical research findings to facilitate the advancement of further research and evidence-based practice in education. Unterrichtswissenschaft is therefore indispensable for researchers and students in the fields of transfer research, teaching quality and didactics.
Unterrichtswissenschaft publishes original empirical studies, reviews, and theoretical articles in German and English. All articles are subject to double-blind peer review in order to meet the highest quality standards. Every issue contains a topical focus as well as unsolicited submissions, which are complemented by hot topic contributions.
The journal has an international audience with a special focus on German-speaking countries. It is one of the three most-cited German journals in educational research as identified by a Cited Reference Search in Web of Science, PsychInfo, and Harzing''s Publish or Perish (1999-2010). About 50 % of the references in Web of Science can be found in English-language publications.
