Description
Summary:The compilation of digital textbooks faces the practical dilemma of technological over-involvement, characterized by several critical issues: the misuse and abuse of technology accelerate the alienation of educational value in digital textbooks; the dominance of instrumental rationality leads to an imbalance between technical and value-oriented principles in their design; and the overshadowing of educational value allows technological authority to suppress the educational subjectivity of teachers and students. Reaffirming the human-centric stance of digital textbooks necessitates emphasizing the educational value of teacher-student relationships and ensuring that human-machine interactions serve human-human communication. It also requires revising knowledge production methods, prioritizing generative knowledge over prepackaged knowledge, and clarifying the boundaries of product development to elevate the value-oriented attributes of digital textbooks beyond their technical aspects. Therefore, value-oriented principle must serve as the criterion for delineating the reasonable limits of technology in digital textbook development. This entails promoting the rational integration of technology to mitigate the risks of educational value alienation; strengthening value rationality to achieve a dynamic balance between technical and value-oriented principles in textbook design; and highlighting educational value to restore the subjectivity of teachers and students in the application of digital textbooks.
