The content of Introduction to Educational Technology is: Educational Technology is a "practical" knowledge. We should fully know and understand the essential relationship between educational technology and teaching practice which is closest to human teaching practice. As mentioned above, technology and methods are closely related to practice, and it can be said that methods are special practical activities under the guidance of certain theories. Educational technology should use practical research methods to solve teaching practice problems, so as to make the internal relationship between theory and practical research harmonious and unified. It can be said that the combination of metaphysical theoretical guidance and metaphysical experimental research is the basic paradigm of basic education curriculum modernization research-"rationality+experiment". In the process of research, how to solve their relationship has always been a difficult problem. The key is to effectively solve the problem of "two skins" and emphasize the "up and down connection and internal connection" between theory and practice. Therefore, educational technology presents the characteristics of trying to solve how to do it, and it is a subject to study and improve teachers' teaching execution.

At present, in the field of educational technology in China, there are not so many classic subjects that must be read. These books should be handed down from generation to generation and stand the test of time. When studying other mature subjects, there are always several classics. In order to learn this subject well, we must read it carefully. For example, Professor Feng Youlan of Peking University's History of China Philosophy is such a masterpiece. Compared with other disciplines, educational technology is really young. For those of us who are engaged in the research and practice of educational technology, there is still a long way to go and we need to work hard. Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day.

The basic structure of this textbook is divided into four parts: what is educational technology, its origin and development, its theoretical basis and basic theory, its practical fields and research methods. It basically covers the basic fields that educational technology needs to learn. And the characteristics are outstanding, concise, comprehensive and systematic, and the content is targeted, especially paying attention to the hierarchical relationship between knowledge points. Starting from the essence of the subject, it emphasizes the humanistic characteristics of this major and that educational technology is to study human education and teaching activities, solve human behavior problems and study. The topic of "How to Teach" is aimed at the problem that most of the previous textbooks are introductory, with little analysis and refinement. This textbook focuses on helping and guiding students to form their own views and learn to think like a qualified educational technology major as soon as possible. In terms of writing style, in order to facilitate students' reading and in-depth study, reading guidance links are designed, including learning objectives, knowledge overview, learning guidance in this chapter, suggestions on learning activities, learning evaluation and reference resources. The basic thinking of compilation mainly highlights three aspects-historical research, theoretical research and practical research, which are the basic research fields of general disciplines.
