An oven does some heat transfer by convection. (Conduction and radiation also play a part.) In a conventional oven, hot air will "move around" to a degree inside the oven. There will be some thermal air currents set up, and air movement will carry some thermal energy from the burner or heating element to the item being heated.
In a convection oven (and please note the adjective used there), we find that a fan runs to circulate air around the interior of the oven (called the cavity). The fan moves air (as you probably guessed) to more evenly heat that space and speed up the heating (cooking) process.

What is a convection microwave oven?
A convection and microwave combination oven is an appliance that combines the functions of both units in just one piece of equipment. This appliance will look much like a microwave oven, but will have conventional resistance (electric) heating elements in it as well as the little fan to provide the convection. This unit will function in either capacity, and about the only drawback is that the convection oven has a limited volume. Bon appétit!
