Abstract

Abstract:

As one of the basic concepts in pedagogy, “textbook” is always concerned with the selection, arrangement and representation of knowledge, and is regarded as the object or content of education and teaching. The conceptual innovation of textbook has followed two paths: medium carrier and functional utility, and the concepts of e-textbook, digital textbook and intelligent textbook have emerged successively, but these concepts all suffer from the problems of “name not reality” and affordance. From the agent theory of textbook and the practical development of new-generation textbook technology, the concept of textbook is reconstructed as “Digital and Intelligent Education agent”, which refers to the integrating digital modeling of knowledge domains, intelligent diagnosis and analysis of students and their learning, as well as intelligent teaching systems. The introduction of the new concept not only implies a new understanding and theory of education, but also means the renewal of research problems and the transformation of research methods, which is rich in educational theoretical implications.

Key words: the digital and intelligent era, textbook, digital-intelligent education agent, educational theoretical implications
