This book contains the research of Innovative Education Informatization conducted by researchers from School of Educational Technology, Beijing Normal University since early 1990s. There are three main parts of the book. The first part is about six pillars supporting the theory of Innovative Education Informatization with Chinese Characteristics. Six theories are: 1) Theory of Creative Thinking, 2) New Constructivism, 3) Theory of In-depth Integration of Information Technology and Subjects Teaching, 4) New Theory of Teaching Design, 5) Theory of Children’s Thinking Development, and 6) Language Sense Theory. The second part pays attention to advocating maker education system with Chinese characteristics. The third part focuses on Chinese-style flipped classroom. The book will have profound impact on education informatization.

This book presents 28 practical case studies in detail and 49 case studies in brief. The collection of these case studies focuses on one or more aspects of exploration and practice on the following topics: smart campus and smart classroom, resource construction and sharing, new teaching mode, comprehensive quality evaluation of students, teacher professional development, application of teaching platform and tool, innovative application of online learning space, collaborative education, and school management and services. The selection and evaluation criteria of the case studies on school practice mainly include concept and implementation, effectiveness and characteristics, innovation and demonstration, and expression and structure. This book helps readers gain a rich understanding of the diverse innovative implementation of smart education in Chinese schools and inspires smart education development in schools in other countries.

China's Path to Education Modernization summarizes a set of socialist education development system with Chinese characteristics from scratch in the past 40 years of reform and opening up in China.

Technology use has become increasingly popular in education. Due to cultural influences and access issues, advances in digital teaching and learning in Chinese education have been slow; however, certain regions have been able to successfully integrate technology into their curriculum and instruction techniques. Digital Transformation and Innovation in Chinese Education is an essential reference source featuring the latest scholarly research on utilizing technology in Chinese learning and instruction, and it provides insights to classroom transformations within the context of Chinese culture. Including coverage on a broad range of topics and perspectives such as MOOCs, blended learning, and e-learning, this publication is ideally designed for academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on technological innovation in Chinese education.
