AECT 94 defines educational technology: Educational technology is the theory and practice of systematic design, development, application and management of learning process and learning resources.
AECT 05 defines educational technology: Educational technology is a research and moral practice that promotes learning and improves performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technical processes and resources.
Educational technology is a subject that studies the essence, concept, formation, development and types of educational technology.
From the first day of education, there has been educational technology. However, only when educational technology develops to a certain stage will it gradually produce a science-educational technology, which is used to study educational technology phenomena and their laws.
Educational technology is based on the teaching theory, learning theory, communication theory and system science theory of educational science, based on the objectivity, reproducibility, measurability and controllability of the teaching process, applying the views and methods of modern scientific and technological achievements and system science, and exploring the technical means to improve the teaching effect and the theories, laws and methods to optimize the teaching process on the premise of the established goals.
[Edit this paragraph] The disciplinary nature of educational technology
Educational academia at home and abroad has always had different views on the ownership of educational technology. Professor He Kekang, an expert in educational technology in China, believes that:
1. Educational technology is a new secondary branch discipline in the field of educational science, and it is a bridge connecting educational science theory with educational teaching practice.
2. Educational technology is a technical subject in educational research.
3. Educational technology is a discipline with methodological nature.
4. In addition, educational technology has obvious characteristics of applied discipline and comprehensive discipline.

brief Introduction of the content
The basic idea of educational technology is to optimize, supplement and update it without breaking the original basic framework. Through the scientific demonstration of the logical starting point of educational technology and the comparative analysis of AECT 05 definition and AECT 94 definition, we put forward a relatively scientific definition of educational technology, which can truly reflect the research and application of educational technology at home and abroad at this stage, namely: "Educational technology refers to the theory and practice of promoting learning and improving performance by designing, developing, utilizing, managing and evaluating educational processes and resources with the support of appropriate technology." The whole theoretical system of the second edition of Educational Technology is based on the definition of "educational process and educational resources supported by appropriate technology" and the five research fields of "theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management and evaluation" of these two research objects. In the revision process of each chapter, special attention is paid to the implementation of the concept of blended learning, the teaching design of paying equal attention to learning and teaching, and the application content of performance technology in education and training, trying to embody the new technology and its application mode and method in education and training, and introducing the theoretical achievements of contemporary research on the integration of information technology and curriculum in the United States, as well as the latest theoretical research achievements of effectively realizing the deep integration of information technology and curriculum in China.
