Last Saturday, at the first Future Educator Forum in Hangzhou, more than 500 middle school principals and teachers from all over the province also focused on artificial intelligence.
There are even "man-machine education wars" specially organized by some institutions. Can you guess the result? The experienced teacher was completely defeated by the intelligent robot.
However, there is no need to worry that the profession of teachers will really disappear. President Hang Er Zhong still believes that this experiment only proves that robots can help children enhance their test ability through big data. Teachers play an irreplaceable role in cultivating students' core literacy.
The "man-machine war" robot in the field of education wins completely
Is the teaching profession really going to disappear?
Recently, an artificial intelligence education institution in China conducted an experiment-recruiting 78 junior high school students, 3 teachers and 1 intelligent robots to conduct a unique "man-machine war". The 4-day competition on the teaching level of real people and artificial intelligence provides targeted and centralized teaching guidance for junior high school mathematics. Students were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. Teachers teach in the control group, and students in the experimental group use intelligent robots to learn. The competition compares the learning effects of the two groups of students through pre-test and post-test.
It is understood that the average teaching experience of the three teachers is 17 years, and they are all super-class teachers in the industry. They won the first prize in the basic skills competition for young teachers, the first prize in the quality course of mathematics and so on. However, the results of man-machine war show that intelligent robots have completely crushed real-life teaching, and scored the core average score of 36. 13 (machine teaching) with 26. 18 (real-life teaching).
"Robots hit teachers, will teachers disappear in the future?" At the forum, the questions raised by President Hang No.2 Middle School were fair, which made the whole venue quiet at once.
It is fair to think that although the robot won the competition, it does not prove that the teaching level of the robot is necessarily better than that of the real person. It can only be said that with the help of robots, students' examination ability has been enhanced. Because robots can evaluate the basic knowledge that students have mastered in time through big data, they are more aware of their own knowledge deficiencies and make counseling more in place. The cultivation of students' core literacy, including learning ability, critical thinking, creativity and imagination, is currently impossible for robots.
He said: "Our education is not only teaching, but also spiritual improvement, personality guidance, emotional edification, wisdom enlightenment and value guidance. Therefore, it is not that teachers are not needed in the future, but new requirements are put forward for us. For example, using digital tools such as Internet teaching system can change the time and space of teaching. For example, in the information technology era, redefine schools and define education. "
"wisdom education"
It has become a new form of education in Zhejiang.
In artificial intelligence education, Zhejiang has always been at the forefront of the country. Shi Jianguo, director of Zhejiang Education Technology Center, revealed that the comprehensive index of basic education informatization in Zhejiang Province ranks first in China.
"Wisdom education" has become a new educational form in primary and secondary schools in Zhejiang Province, which not only promotes the implementation and popularization of courses, changes the mode of education supply and improves teachers' professional ability, but also improves learners' cognitive level, enhances students' endogenous motivation and promotes the precise management of education. Simply put, more and more students in our province can apply artificial intelligence and other technologies to achieve "success, happiness and development".
Shi Jianguo gave several examples at the scene. For example, in the new college entrance examination reform being carried out in Zhejiang, the examination subjects are "3 out of 7", which means that there are 35 combinations of examinations, and high schools must choose courses and break the boundaries of the original administrative classes. Nowadays, information technology is used in both class schedules and class roll calls.
On this basis, high school curriculum reform also needs technical support. For example, Maodun Middle School has a geographical decomposition innovation laboratory, which consists of earth, geology and geomorphology room, hydrology, meteorology, soil room and human geography room. Geographic information system, remote sensing, global positioning system and digital earth technology are listed as teaching contents.
"Building an education in the Internet age that is student-centered, interest-oriented and choice-oriented." Shi Jianguo concluded, "Implementing differentiated teaching, fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses, is the fundamental ownership of technology-supported education reform. Of course, technological change education should also avoid becoming a vassal of knowledge education and turn the original' human irrigation' into' machine irrigation'. "
An example provided by Zhao Li, the headmaster of Ding Lan Experimental Middle School, is more convincing: her school is a public junior high school with ordinary students. From September 2065438 to September 2006, the school introduced the "e-bag" of cloud for experimental teaching, which greatly improved the teaching efficiency and students' performance. On the third day of this year, the whole city was unified, and the school scores entered the top third of the city. In addition, the scores of students in the senior high school entrance examination exceeded the average score of Hangzhou for the first time.
"I am optimistic about the promotion of information technology to schools and education." President Zhao said.
This has been a change of the times for decades.
