This article is based on some of the results of the cooperative project “A Practice Study on Information-based Teaching” started and accomplished by Hubei University and other secondary and primary schools
As an expert of the new curriculum reform, Professor Ye Lan’s quotation that “classrooms should be overflowing with vitality” has made an enormous impact on the education sector at home (Education Research, 1997, 9)
From the perspective of information technology, edutainment conforms to the essential characteristics of information technology applied to teaching practice and meets the essential requirements of the integration of technology and education, which makes education become an “art”
Summary
With accordance to human cognition and by means of information technology, edutainment is such a teaching method that combines technology and art, theory and practice, and makes the most of entertainment characteristics to achieve the maximum respect for the life of the learner’s lives and cognition (Li, 2008). As can be seen from the concept of edutainment, edutainment and information-based teaching have internal consistencies: their guiding ideologies are the ideas and theories of modern education; their purpose is to improve teaching and learning outcomes; both their targets are students They are consistent in essence in that their methods are complementary and their processes can be mingled. From the perspective of edutainment, it is necessary to upgrade the theoretical system of information-based teaching and to think about strategies contributing to the informatization of primary school Chinese curriculum. This satisfies the basic requirements of the new curriculum standards, and constitutes an effective strategy of it, and proposes an innovative approach to designing information-based teaching resources
