With the advent of the intelligent era, the necessity of cultivating high-end talents has become increasingly prominent. High school education is the cornerstone of improving comprehensive literacy and cultivating talents for socialist modernization. Accordingly, high school biology education should also break the stereotype, keep pace with the times, and explore the digital transformation of education.
1. The connotation of digital transformation of high school biology education under smart education.
1) The connotation of smart education.
With the promulgation of policies such as the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Outline (2010-2020) and the new era of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, smart education came into being. At present, different scholars in China define smart education from different perspectives, and there is no unified and clear definition. Based on Cao Peijie's definition and the views of other scholars, the author believes that smart education refers to the use of modern information technology such as mobile Internet, big data and cloud computing to build a student-centered education ecosystem that is accurate, individualized, flexible and humane, so as to promote the intelligent transformation of education, realize the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology and education, and meet the needs of students' growth and development to the greatest extent.
2) The connotation of digital transformation of education.
At present, the digitalization of education has become a new hot spot in the field of education and the main direction of education reform. The "Key Points of the Ministry of Education's Work in 2022" clearly proposes to implement the strategic actions of education digitalization, accelerate the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of education, and promote the development and reform of education training goals and content. After education informatization 10 and 2The construction of 0, China's digital technology and education have gone through four stages: starting, application, integration and innovation, and are currently in a period of coexistence of integration and innovation. The digital transformation of education is a special stage of education informatization, and it is necessary to realize the transformation from starting, applying and integrating digital technology, to establishing digital awareness and thinking, cultivating digital capabilities and methods, building a smart education development ecology, and forming a digital governance system and mechanism.
2. The necessity of digital transformation of high school biology education.
1) Background of the times.
The 13th Five-Year Plan officially elevated "Digital China" to a national strategy, and digital technology has gradually been fully applied to China's construction in various fields. The digital transformation of the education sector is gradually accelerating, and the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy and the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization emphasize the improvement of digital literacy and skills for all. In April 2018, the Ministry of Education issued the "Education Informatization 2The "0 Action Plan" clearly points out that it is necessary to create a smart learning environment and promote smart education innovation. In January 2022, the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy" was issued, proposing to promote the digital transformation of education. Therefore, in the context of the information society, China's education informatization has changed from 10 times go to 2In the 0 era, from "simple application" to "deep integration", the digital transformation of education has started a new journey.
2) Development needs.
1. There is an urgent need to improve the quality of education.
With the transformation of China's economic development, the people's demand for a better education continues to increase. Information technology is deeply integrated into education and teaching, accurately portraying the personalized characteristics of students without being limited by scale, and then providing high-quality customized teaching services and significantly improving the quality of education and teaching. In a populous country like China, only by making full use of emerging information technology and providing digital and personalized education service support can we accurately improve the quality of education and help teachers' professional development and students' healthy growth.
2. Effectively promote educational equity.
The 2022 ** work report has repeatedly emphasized the need to promote educational equity and achieve a balance of educational resources. Constrained by the level of education and economic development and the influence of location and other factors, the "digital divide" between urban and rural areas is still large. In order to bridge the "digital divide" and promote educational equity, the digitalization of education is an important driver [5]. The use of digital means can expand the coverage of high-quality educational resources and significantly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of digital resource sharing. In addition, by integrating information technology into the whole process of education and teaching, it can break the limitations of time and space and effectively support students' self-directed learning and teachers' professional development.
3. Strong support for lifelong learning.
The 14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization clearly proposes for the first time to "carry out lifelong digital education", emphasizing the need to "give full play to the advantages of first-class education and virtual training, deepen the application of big data analysis in the field of education, and continuously expand and optimize all types of education and lifelong learning services at all levels". The rapid development and continuous penetration of "education digitalization" has laid a good resource and technical foundation for lifelong learning. It will help to build a learning "overpass" for the vertical connection of various types of education and the horizontal communication of general education, vocational education and continuing education.
3 The practical path of digital transformation of high school biology education.
Based on the above analysis and combined with the characteristics of high school biology discipline, this paper proposes a practical path for the digital transformation of high school biology education, which is as follows.
1) Innovate educational concepts and cultivate intelligent "new" teachers.
The classroom is the main front of educational reform, and teachers are the new force of change. In order to adapt to the development of smart education, high school biology teachers should change their teaching concepts, consciously take the initiative to accept smart education training, and conscientiously study the teaching methods of educational information technology. Summarize and reflect on the concept, action, and effectiveness of self-wisdom teaching, and prepare for the digital transformation of high school biology education. High school biology teachers establish educational big data thinking, dynamically monitor students' learning status, and provide targeted and personalized education with the help of digital learning technology to respond to students' diverse demands.
2) Optimize the teaching environment and create a multi-scenario "new" ecology.
In order to optimize the high school biology teaching environment, relying on the advantages of the Internet and adapting to the trend of ubiquitous learning, we will promote Internet-based blended learning, online and offline learning, innovative courses and flipped classrooms in a targeted manner, and build a "new" ecology of high school biology teaching in artificial intelligence + education. Teachers have established the concept of "big education concept", broken down the barriers between primary schools, middle schools and universities in time, integrated family education, school education and social education in space, connected the learning community and personal space, made the school no longer the only place to learn, built an open lifelong education system, and created a "new" ecology of multi-scene learning.
3) Focus on first-class teaching and promote digital "new" teaching.
Promote the two-way deep integration of information technology and curriculum, explore new models and methods for the application of "new" technologies such as tablet computers, digital planets, cloud computing, virtual reality and other technologies in teaching, explore the rules and characteristics of the application of new technologies in classroom teaching, and combine the characteristics of high school biology to build a series, open and intelligent teaching mode that conforms to the characteristics of disciplines, grades and contents, such as: flipped classrooms, mobile learning, MOOCs, micro-lessons, "one-to-one" digital learning, etc. Teachers of different disciplines use intelligent technology to collect student information in a timely manner, provide feedback, adjust teaching strategies and progress, and promote digital "new" teaching.
4) Reform the evaluation model and empower innovative "new" evaluation.
Evaluation is an important part of teaching. Teaching evaluation in information education has given full play to the advantages of information technology to a certain extent, and improved the efficiency and quality of teaching evaluation, but it still belongs to the "empiricist" evaluation mode at the practical level. The teaching evaluation of smart education is based on new technologies such as cloud computing and big data to record, collect, store, identify and analyze learners' learning data, establish a scientific evaluation model, and realize the intelligent tracking and evaluation of overall and individual data, which reflects the evaluation concept advocated by the new curriculum.
IV. Conclusion. This paper focuses on the hot topic of "education digitalization", aiming to comprehensively promote the digital transformation of high school biology education based on the background of the era of smart education, in order to improve the quality of education, solve educational equity, and support lifelong learning. This paper condenses the wisdom of "cloud" to help the "new" development of the digital transformation of high school biology education, including "new" teachers, "new" teaching, "new" ecology, and "new" evaluation, and provides a certain reference for the practical path of digital transformation of high school biology education.
