Original title: Shaping the new momentum of lifelong learning for all people with digitalization.
With the acceleration of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the huge potential of digital technology has been released, and new applications and products represented by generative artificial intelligence have emerged at an accelerated pace, and human society is rapidly entering the digital era characterized by large models, big data, and large computing power. Education, which is closely linked to and accompanied by economic and social development, is also more deeply and directly affected by digitalization. When presiding over the fifth collective study of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary emphasized: "The digitalization of education is an important breakthrough for China to open up a new track for education development and shape new advantages for education development. We will further promote digital education and provide effective support for personalized learning, lifelong learning, expanding the coverage of high-quality educational resources, and modernizing education. "The digitalization of education refers to the use of modern information technology to support the reform and innovation of education in terms of education methods, school-running models, management systems, and guarantee mechanisms, to build a people-oriented concept of education development, to promote the paradigm change of educational research and practice, and to form a high-quality education system that adapts to the digital age. The breadth and depth of the digital transformation of education directly affect the efficiency and quality of the construction of the modern education system, affect the process and achievements of the construction of a learning society and a learning country, and play a vital role in opening up a new track and shaping new advantages for education.
Capture the key variables of digital technology.
Lifelong learning for all is not only the requirement and trend of the development of the times, but also to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life, and it is also the foundation of civilization and progress and national strength. At present, digital technology is showing a development trend of interconnection and interaction, and computing is giving birth to intelligence, which is driving the global education revolution to occur truly and universally. The full application of digital technology, digital thinking and digital cognition can drive the overall quality improvement and iterative upgrading of education supply, build interactive, immersive, and information-based multiple learning scenarios, assessment and evaluation scenarios, and management service scenarios, create a more immersive and interactive learning experience for learners, significantly improve the adaptability and coverage of education, and achieve new breakthroughs in building a lifelong learning system with more flexible methods, richer resources, and more convenient learning.
Specifically, the use of digital technology to cross the boundaries of traditional education can harmoniously interconnect with smart campuses and smart terminals, create an all-weather learning platform, catalyze the acceleration of the transformation of self-directed learning to multi-dimensional interaction, guide the acceleration of the formation of the trend of decentralization of learning content, accelerate the realization of differentiated teaching and personalized training, and amplify the effect of offline and online, artificial and intelligent omni-channel services. Task remodeling and process reengineering should be promoted as a whole, the level of closed-loop, systematization and intelligence should be improved, and the whole-process teaching management of enrollment, teaching, examination, graduation and other links should be optimized. Expand the digital presentation of resources, accelerate the interconnection and agglomeration of circulation, effectively bridge the digital divide, narrow the gap between regions, urban and rural areas, and schools, and innovate the supply of all-in-class resources for co-construction, sharing and co-maintenance. Comprehensively create a ubiquitous, green, intelligent, convenient and inclusive learning environment, promote the integration of people, technology and materials, and the collaboration between families, schools and communities, and ensure the rapid transformation of physical, virtual, and social future learning spaces. Strengthen the application of national learning big data warehouses, digital trusted accounts, knowledge graphs, and personal lifelong learning portraits, explore the authentication, accumulation, and conversion of digital learning achievements, unblock the "overpass" of lifelong learning, and realize the all-round overall planning and opening of learning locations, learning methods, and learning processes. Ensure equal learning opportunities, maintain data security and digital ethics, promote the orderly expansion of education in the direction of inclusiveness, balance, and quality, and build a learning community covering different regions, disciplines, time and space, and groups.
Make good use of the core strength of digital education.
Education plays a foundational, leading and overall role in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In recent years, China's high-quality education system has been steadily promoted, and the new education infrastructure has been continuously improved, serving the world's largest learning population with the world's largest digital education. In the future, we should also focus on the deep integration of digital technology and education and teaching, and focus on the cultivation of competency and literacy, deepen the standard docking, mutual experience and evidence-based research of digital education, support Chinese-style modernization with the high-quality development of the population, and accelerate the transformation from a country with a large population to a country with strong talents.
To strengthen the support of talents, we should make full use of digital technology and means, pay full attention to the learning needs and characteristics of different groups, gain detailed insight into individual learning feelings and cognitive differences, optimize multi-dimensional support such as teaching, management, technology, resources and emotions, and provide each learner with more choices and more suitable learning opportunities, so that education is equally oriented to everyone, suitable for everyone, and accompanied by everyone, so as to ensure that education pays more attention to adapting to the environment and serving life, and pays more attention to teaching according to aptitude, the unity of knowledge and action, and the responsibility of cohesion. It is the responsibility to improve personality, develop human resources, cultivate talents, and benefit the people. It is necessary to efficiently connect all stages of education and cover all types of education, establish learners' digital awareness, improve the digital skill development mechanism, stimulate and cultivate higher-order thinking ability and lifelong learning habits that adapt to the times and have the courage to innovate, guide learners to transform from knowledge consumption to wisdom creation, promote the effective combination of all-round human development and common prosperity of all people, and gradually realize that everyone is good at learning, everyone is happy to learn, and everyone becomes a talent.
Discover the increment of digital transformation.
The United Nations Transforming Education Summit pointed out that global education is facing serious challenges and a learning crisis, and that education transformation is urgently needed, and that the power of digital transformation must be fully harnessed to ensure that quality education and lifelong learning are available to all as a common good. Facing the future, we should fully grasp the advantages, characteristics, mechanism and mechanism of digital technology, update the concept of education with the times, persistently deepen the education reform, and build a learning society and a learning country with lifelong learning for all, and build a strong country in education. **The general secretary stressed that the transformation from a big country in education to a strong country in education is a systematic leap and qualitative change, and it must be driven by reform and innovation. To build a strong country in education, it is necessary to focus more accurately on the anchors of core businesses such as learning, teaching, examination, and evaluation, more accurately study and judge the contradictions and blockages such as the shortage of high-quality resources, the prominent homogeneity of education, and the structural changes in the source of students, and more finely discover the policy blind spots that are not suitable for the requirements of education development. We should use big data dynamic modeling, aggregation and processing and cross-reuse, improve process reengineering, structural reorganization and system reconstruction, and realize linkage innovation in education methods, school-running models, management systems, and safeguard measures. Enrich the command and dispatch function of the central system of education management, play the role of digital intelligence in trend, correlation analysis, scientific decision-making, etc., and then improve the outcome evaluation, strengthen the process evaluation, explore value-added evaluation, improve the comprehensive evaluation, and promote the transformation of educational decision-making from empirical judgment to data-driven, and educational services from passive response to active foresight. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the business collaboration between the field of digital education and other fields of digital society, create a new form of digital education with diverse forms and high efficiency, create a new mode of digital education with intelligent interaction and complete functions, build an open, harmonious, compatible and stable new ecology of digital education, obtain the value-added ability of intelligent aggregation, sharing and service of educational data, amplify the leading force of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, narrow the distance between science and technology and production, science and technology and life, and optimize the national talent support system and knowledge innovation system.
