为了厘清教育技术学的历史使命,该文采用文献梳理与逻辑思辨的方法,从理解教育的本质出发,重新界定了教育的本质,分析了意识生长的内涵,探讨了教育技术学的历史使命。教育的本质在于促进人的意识的生长。该文提出了意识功能与意识内容的3x3模型,该模型包含九种意识活动,即科学思维、科学意志、科学判断、伦理思维、伦理意志、伦理判断、审美思维、审美意志、审美判断。教育实践应该为个体的意识的生长提供相应的外部文化环境。这个外部文化环境需要被技术性地设计与开发出来。教育技术学的历史使命在于为构建意识生长所需外部文化环境提供整体全面的理论指导与技术支撑。要实现这个历史使命,在构建教育系统的过程中要注重针对九种意识活动的学习活动设计。
