Where is the “theory” within the field of educational technology research?

Practitioner Notes

What is already known about this topic

• Educational technology research has grown substantially in importance.

• Yet educational technology research is often criticised as methodologically weak and under-theorised.

What this paper adds

• Provides an in-depth analysis of the 503 most recent empirical studies.

• Examines how explicitly theory is identified and applied and how often it is advanced.

Implications for practice

• Researchers should develop more “middle-range” theories.

• Researchers need to be more explicit about the theories that underpin their studies.
