Abstract

The education sector has entered the digital transformation in earnest after undergone inevitable situations such as the closing of schools and remote learning due to Covid-19. Since Internet revolution and the emergence of e-learning, which appeared around 2000, education and technology have been combined and applied in the field of education. Currently, edutech has become an important phenomenon and technology with demand for utilization and requirement. This study suggests the role of edutech is considered from the perspective of 'education-oriented', not 'technology-oriented' by presenting the history where education and technology co-evolved for a long time. As a result, it was confirmed that edutech not only eliminates the physical limitations of education, but also leads the role of elaborate desirable education that has been pursued so far, such as self-directed learning and personalized learning. In order to coexist as an innovative tool for future education, it is necessary to build a framework and criteria for the right decision-making and utilization of edutech.

코로나19 이후, 전면 등교중단 및 원격수업으로 인해 교육계는 디지털 전환기에 본격적으로 돌입했다. 2000년 전후, 인터넷혁명과 이러닝이 등장하면서 정보통신 기술과 접목한 에듀테크는 교육현장에서의 기술수요와 요구에 부응하며 진화했으며, 현재에 이르러 교육부문의 중요한 기술이자 현상으로 자리 잡았다. 본 연구는 교육과 기술이 오랫동안 공진화하며 발전한 에듀테크를 시대별로 조망함으로써 최신기술의 기능성을 우선시하는 '기술 중심''이 아닌 교육 본연의 목표와 대상을 고려한 '교육중심'의 관점에서 에듀테크의 역할을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 에듀테크는 교육의 물리적 한계를 없앨 뿐 아니라 자기주도 학습, 맞춤형 학습처럼 오랫동안 추구해온 교육의이상적 모습을 구체화하는 역할을 주도하고 있음을 확인하였다. 향후, 미래교육의 혁신도구로 지속 발전하기 위해서는 에듀테크의 올바른 활용과 의사결정을 위한 인식의 틀과 구체화된 준거 등이 필요함을 시사하는 바이다.
