On the influence of science and technology on education.
The development of science and technology has affected the rapid development of all levels, including basic education. Technology is a handful? A double-edged sword? . With the development of science and technology, the popularization of basic education and the wide application of modern educational technology in teaching, the teaching quality has been improved and the reform of education system has been promoted. At the same time, the development of science and technology has also led to the decline of some students' ability. Students are becoming more and more exam-oriented machines, lacking individuality and losing some fine traditions.

I. Development of science and technology
Science and technology have become the locomotive technology of contemporary scientific and technological development. It has changed people's ideas, improved people's living standards and promoted the development of socialist civilization. Every time it breaks through, it can make human survival ability and creativity of material wealth get unprecedented improvement. Science and technology have liberated human beings from heavy physical labor, created new modes of production, improved production efficiency and product quality, improved people's medical and health conditions, improved people's quality of life and level, enabled people to have convenient transportation, fast network platform and educational multimedia, and enabled human beings to realize their dreams of traveling in space and cruising around the world. Especially in recent years, science and technology are changing with each passing day. The development of science and technology has liberated and developed productive forces and promoted the rapid development of the national economy.
Second, the role of science and technology in basic education
Regarding the relationship between scientific and technological development and basic education, we should adhere to the viewpoint of materialist dialectics and divide it into two parts. Science and technology also play an important role in basic education? A double-edged sword? The relationship between them is not completely unified, and they also have opposing contradictions.
(A) the positive role of science and technology in basic education
1. Universal basic education
With the development of science and technology, great changes have taken place in people's economic life. People have the economic ability to devote themselves to their children's basic education, which has completely changed the situation of studying in the government and nobles in the past and enabled more people to obtain the right to education. With the development of reform and opening up and the rapid development of China's economy, the state has paid more attention to the development of basic education and implemented a series of measures to promote basic education, popularize nine-year compulsory education and reduce tuition and miscellaneous fees. It has brought good news to those rural children who are far away in the west and remote, and to those children who are forced to stay at home because they can't afford tuition. The data shows that during the period of 1978-2007, the enrollment rate of primary school-age children in China increased from 94% to 99.5%. At the same time, the net enrollment rate of primary school-age children nationwide reached 99.27% last year, an increase of 0. 12 percentage points over the previous year.
2. The extensive application of modern educational technology has improved the teaching quality.
The rapid development of science and technology promotes the rapid development of educational technology, promotes the gradual popularization and development of modern educational technology, and opens up a broad world for subject teaching. It has changed the traditional examination-oriented education mode, promoted the establishment of the concept of quality education and provided rich educational resources. Its visualization and flexible teaching methods provide a colorful space and stage for basic education. It can create a learning environment, help students solve problems and cultivate their innovative spirit. It creates an open, cooperative and harmonious classroom education mode, which adapts to the reform and development of modern education. Its virtual simulation effect makes impossible experiments displayed on the screen, from micro to macro, from imagination to intuition, from abstract to concrete. Its particularity enables it to break through the limitations of time and space, provide educational opportunities for more people and expand the scale of education. The application of modern educational technology improves teaching efficiency, saves teaching time, optimizes teaching quality, and brings good and broad development prospects to the field of basic education.
3. Reform of the education system
In the face of the sudden rapid development of high technology and its profound social changes, the traditional basic education system has not adapted to the development and needs of education, and its disadvantages have become increasingly prominent. Basic education is future-oriented education, which requires that the goal of the new round of basic education reform must be to cultivate the scientific literacy of future citizens and base on the sustainable development of human life. This requires that in the future education: in the reform of talent training system, we should focus on promoting the reform of basic education teaching content and methods, curriculum textbooks and evaluation system, and explore effective ways and methods to reduce the academic burden of primary and secondary school students and promote quality education; In the reform of school-running system, efforts should be made to promote the implementation of school autonomy, reform the school-running mode of basic education, improve the development environment of basic education and raise the level of basic education; In the aspect of management system reform, we should establish and improve the system of accelerating the development of basic education, comprehensively promote the balanced development of compulsory education, deepen the reform of basic education management, and build a basic education system with China characteristics.
(B) the negative impact of science and technology on basic education
1. Some students' abilities have declined.
Temporary? Chewing bubble gum and playing computer? Growing up, a new generation of new human beings are often at a loss and everywhere in the face of new environmental changes? Knowledge but no ability? Phenomenon. Primary and middle school students who grew up in superior environment seem to have mastered a lot of knowledge and are extremely proficient in high-tech products. However, some basic abilities that must be possessed are being lost bit by bit. (1) Survivability, the development of science and technology, produced a batch after batch of machines that can replace hands-on. If there is no dishwasher, they can't wash dishes. How can they survive independently? (2) interpersonal skills, computers and mobile phones seem to replace interpersonal communication. A large number of primary and middle school students are addicted to the network and virtual world and stay in the virtual world for a long time. They unconsciously lost the ability to communicate with people face to face. ③ Ability to overcome difficulties and setbacks. Children nowadays lack necessary exercise. They are extremely fragile in the face of difficulties and setbacks, and it is easy to give up easily, even at the cost of their lives.
2. Students are becoming more and more exam-oriented machines and have no personality.
The rapid development of science and technology requires basic education to keep pace with its rapid development. Basic education should cultivate fresh and individual people. However, many people distort the significance of vigorously developing basic education, turning students into exam-oriented machines more and more, and suppressing students' personality development. ? Scores become a seal for students? In basic education, achievement is still a sign to measure a person's success. One-sided pursuit of grades and enrollment rate has seriously damaged the growth of students' minds and hindered their all-round development. Too much emphasis on uniformity and too early emphasis on accuracy and proficiency in basic education obliterates children's nature and hinders students' personality development, which has become a bottleneck restricting the current basic education reform. The chronic disease of traditional basic education is breaking the wings of students' imagination, imprisoning students' bold questioning thinking, and students are becoming lifeless wooden machines.
3. The loss of good traditional morality
The most plastic process of human growth is from primary school to middle school, which requires a good grasp of basic education. In this process, it is not only to impart knowledge, but more importantly to teach students how to live, how to do things and how to be a person. However, the current psychology of quick success and instant benefit has caused the defects of basic education and the lack of excellent traditional moral education. Students nowadays don't know how to be thrifty. They worship blindly, name names, and waste money. Pervasive? Self-centered? The phenomenon of thinking, selfishness and helping others has become less and less. So the value of life is lost in all kinds of bad motives. High flyers, Tsinghua? Bear injury incident? , undoubtedly exposed the disadvantages of basic education in China. If basic education is not reformed, will there be countless others? Bear injury incident? And then what?
In short, there is no doubt that the development of science and technology has promoted basic education, changed the backward situation of basic education in China in the past, expanded the scale and scope of basic education, provided a vast world and prepared sufficient conditions, and laid a solid foundation for education; However, when we smell these mellow scents, we should not forget the bitterness that comes with them. What we need is to make a rational analysis and judgment on the adverse effects, so as to minimize their negative effects and give full play to the greatest advantage of science and technology in serving basic education. Only in this way can science and technology develop harmoniously with basic education.
