【摘要】充裕的研究基金资助是开展科学研究的重要保障之一。作为美国国内提供科学研究资助的最大独立机构之一,美国国家科学基金(NSF)为几乎所有学科领域的科学研究提供经费支持。本文试图对NSF所资助的教育技术相关研究项目进行综合分析,以期发现美国国内教育技术研究的主要课题。研究过程中,本研究团队从NSF官方网站所存档的所有12个领域中筛选出与教育技术相关的研究计划,并对这些研究计划进行查阅或获得各计划所资助的研究项目清单;对确认之后的研究计划清单以及资助项目清单进行归纳,并通过Email对NSF项目主管进行了访谈;综合上述数据,研究者对美国NSF项目进行了综合分析,并据此勾勒了美国教育技术项目课题的综合视图。

Abstract: Sufficient research foundation is one of the important guarantees for research projects. As the major independent funding source that provides research support in the United States, National Science Foundation (NSF) are providing funding support for almost all the basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities. In this paper, we focused on the projects in the area of Educational Technology that funded by NSF, with the intention of finding the major research themes by a ground analysis. We firstly filtered the programs on educational technology from 12 areas in NSF website, and then we plowed through the programs and find out the funded projects. Meanwhile, we interviewed a program director by Email. By synthesizing all these information, we analyzed the Educational Technology projects funded by NSF, and outlined the picture in this field.
