Special report on the 2024 World Conference on Digital Education
The digitalization of education has become a trend that is changing the way we learn, the way we teach, and the educational environment. The rise of digital technology and a new generation of artificial intelligence has brought new opportunities and challenges to the reform and development of education and the development of innovative paths and the promotion of talents. According to Cai Ke, deputy dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence Education of Capital Normal University, digitalization has become a wave sweeping global education.
How does digitalization affect education? Cai Ke said that from the exhibition and recommended cases of the conference, it can be seen that the digitalization of education has significantly existed in the field of teaching scenarios. In recent years, intelligent educational equipment and facilities have emerged, opening up the data chain, promoting the digitalization of the classroom teaching process, promoting the cultivation of students' key abilities to integrate digital abilities, and changing the way of educational evaluation. "Digitalization has also brought digitalization of teacher development, helping teachers to master and use information technology to improve their teaching. Cai Ke said.
Of course, there are also some problems that can arise in digital transformation. "For example, over-reliance on technology has led to a neglect of human care, a decrease in emotional communication between students and teachers, and the blind pursuit of technical indicators at the expense of human development in the wave of digitalization. However, application is the 'litmus test' of the effectiveness of digital transformation. Cai Ke believes that digital teaching needs to focus on the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability, and think backwards about how technology can support teaching reform. "To 'inject soul' into technology, the digital transformation of education can only be reflected as an advantage in shaping the development of education. Cai Ke said.
