Educational technology as a field of pedagogical study

Origin of educational technology

When trying to locate the historical antecedents of Technology we find references (Saettler, 1968) 1 that go back to the sophists and cave paintings, or, closer to us, to the proposal of the president of the APA in 1899 of a science bridge between Psychology and its applications, specifically between Psychology and Teaching

Evolution of educational technology

CABERO (1999) points out that Educational Technology is an integrating term (insofar as it has integrated various sciences, technologies and techniques: physics, engineering, pedagogy, psychology ...), alive (due to all the transformations it has undergone caused by both changes in the educational context as well as those of the basic sciences that support it), polysemic (throughout its history it has been accepting different meanings) and also contradictory (it provokes both radical defenses and frontal oppositions).

Educational technology today

The context of emergence and use of ET is typical of academic instances and environment, not of schools. It has been instructional psychologists, educational researchers, and teaching experts who have shaped the principles and procedures of the field. Neither the teaching staff nor the members of the support and guidance services have participated throughout the short history of TE.
