Abstract:

Based on TOE theory, this paper constructs an anal-ytical framework for the digital transformation of education in China. By analyzing 82 policy texts on the digital transformation of education released by local governments, summarized three major action plans of the digital transformation of education in China: technological changes driven by the new network infrastructure, technological changes led by digital ethics, and organizational changes guided by the improvement of the main subjects capabilities. Behind it lies three fundamental construction logics: the first is the technological empowerment logic of digital technology enhancing the effectiveness of educational governance; the second is the organizational revitalization logic of digital capabilities supporting digital transformation; the third is the environmental optimization logic of digital culture unblocking the obstacles of digital transformation. In the future, efforts should be made to form a synergy in promoting advanced experiences of technology empowering education, building a regional collaborative and multi-party interactive network for the digital transformation of education, and promoting the construction of an environment oriented towards digital citizens, so as to further implement the strategy of digital transformation of education.
