Features: This book primarily explores the fundamental theories of educational technology, aiming to uncover the basic principles of modern educational technology activities and phenomena. As a discipline or profession, educational technology should and must have its own fundamental theories, as these theories are a crucial foundation for its survival and development. The book is composed of several sections, including Introduction, Development Theory, Educational Media Theory, Educational Information Resource Theory, Instructional Design Theory, Informatized Teaching Theory, and Distance Education Theory. While these issues may not constitute a complete theoretical system for educational technology, they can still serve as important components of such a system. The exploration of fundamental theories in the field of educational technology in China has largely not gone beyond these issues, making them the main content of this book. The author believes that educational technology is an emerging discipline, and the construction of its theoretical system should be a continuous and improving process. Only through step-by-step attempts and explorations can the fundamental theoretical system of this discipline be established.
