Abstract
This paper examines various research methods, technological trends, and paradigm shifts that the area of computer science has affectad in the arena of educational technology. According to Koschmann(l996)``s study, educational technology is reviewed in the following areas: CAI, ,Microworlds, ITS and CSCL to trace how computer science gave impacts on educational technology. We also considered various technological issues that multimedia and Internet technology affected the mainstream of educational technologists`` issues that. The automation methodology in instructional design is also reviewed to accelerate easy production and efficient authoring of educational materials. At the end of this paper, we suggest that the area of educational technology needs to consider importing research methods from computer science in the following categories: HCI(Human-Computer Interaction), Logic/Algorithm, System Simulation and Database(Data Warehousing/Mining). For educational applicability, the concept of computing in education is emphasized to care the results of applying the tools and instruments in educational settings, even though either educational technologists or computer scientists eager to design and develop their products with their own methods.
