AECT94 definition
The definition of educational technology published by the American Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT) in 1994 is generally recognized in China: educational technology is the theory and practice about the design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of learning resources and learning processes. Its English original text is: Teaching technology is the theory and practice about the design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of learning process and learning resources.
This definition expresses the research object of educational technology as a series of theoretical and practical problems about "learning process" and "learning resources", which changes the previous formulation of "teaching process" and embodies the great change of modern teaching concept from teaching-centered to learning-centered, from imparting knowledge to developing students' learning ability.
Learning process is a cognitive process in which learners acquire knowledge and skills through interaction with information and environment. Learning resources are all kinds of information and environmental conditions to be used in the learning process. The new teaching theory requires students to change from passive recipients of external stimuli to active learners who can actively process information, and teachers should provide information resources and learning environment that can help and promote students' learning. Starting from the needs of social development and human development in the 2/kloc-0 century, we should build a social education system that can support comprehensive learning, autonomous learning, collaborative learning, creative learning and lifelong learning.

1. The definition of educational technology AECT94: It is the theory and practice of promoting learning, designing, developing, utilizing, managing and evaluating related resources and processes.
2. Definition of educational technology AECT2005: Educational technology is a research and moral practice that promotes learning and improves performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technical processes and resources.
3.3 Definition. AECT2005 points out that:
(1) defines the concept of "educational technology" instead of "educational technology";
(2) There are two fields of educational technology: "research" and "ethical practice";
(3) Educational technology has dual purposes: "promoting learning" and "improving performance";
(4) Educational technology can be divided into three categories: creation, use and management. Compared with the definition of AECT94, it is equivalent to integrating five categories in the definition of 94 into three categories in the definition of 05. The correspondence is: the two categories of "design" and "development" in the definition of "94" are merged into one category of "creation"; Change the category of "utilization" in the definition of "94" to a simpler word "use"; Change "management" and "evaluation" in the definition of "94" into "management";
(5) Educational technology has two major objects: "process" and "resources", which are different from "learning process" and "learning resources" in the definition of 94. In the 2004 definition, "technology" and "resources" are preceded by a qualifier "appropriate technology" technology and resources;
(6) The main feature of educational technology lies in its technicality.
