As early as a few years ago, there was a lot of discussion about whether artificial intelligence would replace teachers. After several years of development, we can now get a negative answer-"it is difficult for teachers to be replaced by AI". For teachers, perhaps artificial intelligence is "liberation" rather than "substitution". On the other hand, the future must be an era of "man-machine teaching". Artificial intelligence can't replace teachers, but teachers who can't use technology will be replaced.
Nowadays, in the era of information technology promoting education and teaching reform, learning for the future and teaching for the future have put forward new requirements and challenges for the development of teachers.
Facing the new changes, how should teachers meet the new challenges?
How to reposition the role of teachers?
What are the new paths and methods for teachers' professional development?
……
A few days ago, the 18th annual academic meeting of junior high school education committee of China Education Association and the 4th academic conference on teachers' professional development were held in the experimental school affiliated to Haidian Teachers' Training School in Beijing. "Improving teachers' quality from the perspective of artificial intelligence" has become one of the hot topics among experts.
As a teacher in the era of artificial intelligence
What skills and qualities do you need to master?
Let's watch it together
Focus on Lide Shu Ren
Teachers' morality and teachers can make progress together.
"The theme of the conference' Inheritance and Reconstruction-Improving the Quality of Education Based on Standards' is closely related to the two most important themes in the current development of basic education in China: one is how to further improve the quality of education, and the other is how to carry out structural adjustment on the supply side of education." Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Education Working Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee, said in his speech that the supply-side structural adjustment includes not only the resources and environment of teaching materials, courses and education, but also the human resources of education. Facing the future development direction of education, students' consumption of educational products and services will have new scenes and patterns, and we should actively adapt to them.
In the process of serving children's healthy growth and cultivating qualified builders and reliable successors, how to form a United front inside and outside the system, family, school, society and all aspects to provide corresponding resources, environment and services for children's healthy growth? "Future development may be multilateral, not unilateral. The structure of education supply side for children should be diversified, spanning the boundaries of regions, time and space, roles and systems. As long as we can train qualified builders and reliable successors, as long as we can focus on Lide Shu Ren, everyone will do the same. " Li Wei said.
Education is the activity of cultivating and shaping people, and moral education is the fundamental task of education. "The core of Lide Shu Ren is to educate people, and it is aimed at cultivating new people of the times who are fully developed morally, intellectually, physically and artistically and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation. The education administrative department and the majority of schools and teachers should always firmly grasp the orientation of educating people, take educating people as the center, follow the basic laws and standards of education, explore the art of educating people, and achieve an all-round improvement in the quality of educating people. " Zhu Zhiwen, president of China Education Association, said.
According to Lin Chongde, a senior professor at Beijing Normal University, teachers' major is teaching and educating people, and the core of teachers' professional development is teachers' morality. "The construction of teachers' morality is the primary task of teachers' quality training all over the world. The construction of teachers' morality and style must be consistent with the construction of national spiritual civilization in China, and the cultivation of teachers' morality should aim at the' four haves' good teachers. "
Lin Chongde believes that the consistency between teachers' morality and teachers' ability is the requirement of teachers' professional development. "Strict scholarship, that is, the ability of teachers, is a means to cultivate outstanding talents needed by the country and the basis for practicing teachers' morality. Teachers' professional level focuses on innovation, the foundation of innovation lies in studying business, and education and scientific research are the source of teachers' innovation. "Therefore, teachers' specialization and teaching innovation depend on teachers' basic skills. Clarifying the teaching purpose, mastering the process of teaching and learning, and grasping the teaching effect are three prerequisites for teachers' basic skills in classroom teaching.
Facing the new educational ecology
Future teachers need to change their roles.
Compared with the past, is the teacher more knowledgeable and more useful? How to balance the value? What is real student development? According to Zhou Zeng, director of the Shanghai Teacher Training Center, this is a common confusion faced by teachers at present, and teachers need to think about what is the most valuable knowledge facing the future. "Teacher professionalization is not to let teachers have the ability to transcend machines, but to make calm judgments and emotional care for challenges, to judge what kind of knowledge is useful, and to have insight and foresight for the future path of the educated. "Facing the future, teachers also need to study what is real learning in the intelligent age. In Zhou Zeng's view, it is necessary to build a lifelong learning system for teachers, make learning the content of work, make organizations the form of work, and make * * * grow together into the goal of work. " The core of future-oriented teacher development is teachers' self-transcendence. Excellent teachers are characterized by their enthusiasm and ability to learn, self-denial and self-transcendence. "Zhou Zeng said.
According to Cao Peijie, deputy director of the Future School Laboratory of China Academy of Educational Sciences, in the era of artificial intelligence, AI technology will not replace outstanding talents with hard-core strength and excellent ability, but the connotation of teachers will change. He analyzed that there will be two development trends in the future: one is the differentiation of teachers' roles. Online learning service providers have become a new profession, and learning instructors, problem diagnoses and student analysts may be different roles of teachers. The second is the integration of teachers' abilities. It is becoming a trend that the interdisciplinary STEAM teachers and double-qualified teachers are specialized and versatile.
Cao Peijie also believes that teachers will have three roles in the future. "The future teacher is not a teacher, but an analyst who understands students; Not a teaching master, but a learning expert, the designer of the reorganization course; It is not a master of teaching, but a planner who connects the world and provides students with excellent resources from all over the world. "
"When education cannot meet the needs of technological development, it will cause trouble to society; On the contrary, it can create great wealth. A new generation of technological leaps represented by new technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence have put forward new demands for talent training. " Yang Xiaozhe, an associate professor at the Institute of Curriculum and Teaching of East China Normal University, believes that teachers should experience new technologies as much as possible and experience the new possibilities that these new technologies bring to education and teaching.
In the first half of this year, during a very special epidemic, we experienced a large-scale online teaching. "In the online teaching experience during the epidemic, teachers not only play the role of new teachers in such a technical space, but also mean more expansion of teaching time and space. Teachers have also formed new teaching methods in wider cooperation. " Yang Xiaozhe believes that it is a brand-new topic for every future-oriented teacher to think about what kind of new ecology will be formed in future education from this perspective.
Teach for the future
The mode of educational production should be changed.
"Facing the future, students' learning should point to migrating applications, with online and offline integration as the main way to achieve deep learning. Therefore, teachers in the 2 1 century should use technology to support students' deep learning. " Robin, president of Beijing Haidian Teachers' Training School, president of Haidian Education Group and chairman of the Junior High School Education Committee of China Education Association, said that how to improve the educational ability with high quality requires a high-quality education system. Among them, the best education needs the best teachers.
"The new era has put forward new requirements for teachers' literacy. What we are concerned about is the transformation of teaching ability to curriculum education ability. Robin believes that to improve the quality of education, it is necessary to strengthen the team building, promote the research-oriented practice of teaching researchers and teachers, pay attention to the transformation of results, transform "individual practice" into "group exploration", "school case" into "regional practice", "practical case" into "teaching and research curriculum" and "practical results" into "administrative documents".
Liu Yanjing, a senior math teacher in the middle school affiliated to University of Science and Technology Beijing, shared her online teaching experience during the epidemic. During the epidemic period, the school actively explored the "micro-teaching and research" model, built a teaching and research subject with the teaching and research group as the core, and carried out research activities; Strengthen the teaching design and implementation of "guiding and promoting learning" to enhance the interaction, experience and generation of the learning process; Build a digital classroom, create an efficient interactive classroom, and constantly optimize teaching and learning strategies. "These were challenges for us at that time, but now they have become valuable resources for teachers' professional development and favorable opportunities for students' independent development." Liu Yanjing said.
What are the core resources of education? According to Zheng Xudong, a professor of artificial intelligence education at Huazhong Normal University, the answer is teachers. Therefore, compared with technology, teachers are always developmental. "To a certain extent, education, teaching and teachers are always on the way to catch up with technological development. The professional development of teachers in the era of artificial intelligence does not require teachers to know everything, but pays attention to team division of labor and cooperation, so that professional people can do professional things and develop together. " Zheng Xudong believes that the improvement of teachers' information literacy should focus on the improvement of information literacy related to teaching, and the goal is to change the way teachers teach and students learn. This is the mode of production of education.
How should teachers correctly understand the relationship between technology and education and teaching? From the perspective of AI, how to explore new paths and methods of teachers' professional development from the perspective of teachers' practice and teaching research? ...... Professor Feng Xiaoying from the School of Educational Technology of Beijing Normal University believes that we should focus on the development of teachers' literacy from the perspective of AI from three aspects: "Tao", "skill" and "device". "In the era of change, the innovation of theory and practice has the characteristics of integration, including the integration of multi-disciplines and multi-subjects, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence technology with education and teaching and expert wisdom. This requires multi-dimensional and multi-level innovation, including teachers' professional practice and new models, new paths and new methods of teachers' teaching and research innovation; Integration and innovation of teachers' professional development theory and practice. "
Famous viewpoint
Multi-dimensional "empowering" teachers to improve the quality of education in all directions
Gu Mingyuan (Honorary President of China Education Association and Senior Professor of Beijing Normal University): The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee proposed to build a high-quality education system. We should improve the quality of education and enhance teachers' ability in many ways. Teachers are the foundation of establishing education and the source of promoting education. The key to improve the quality of education lies in teachers, who should provide internal motivation and external support for teachers' professional development at all levels.
From the school level, we should empower teachers by improving the quality of school-based teaching and research, strengthen the construction of school culture, create an upward and good cultural atmosphere, and form a harmonious and positive typical cultural symbol. Principals should improve the quality of school-based teaching and research, strengthen the construction of teachers' morality and style, and guide teachers to grow up in an all-round way. School-based scientific research should be planned and designed as a whole. Focusing on the difficulties of education and teaching reform in our school, more teachers should be deeply involved, and teaching practice should be carried out while learning, and education reform should be carried out continuously to improve teachers' ability to solve problems. We should pay attention to each teacher's development potential and personalized development needs, and stimulate teachers' development ability through mechanism innovation.
From the regional level, we should give full play to the strength of teaching and research to empower teachers' growth. In the new era, teaching and research should respond to the changes of the times, take the initiative, innovate the content, mode and mechanism of teacher research, build a teacher research system in an all-round way, and fully support teachers to implement the concept of curriculum reform and educating people in classroom teaching.
In the first half of 2020, in response to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, a long-term online teaching was conducted nationwide, which was also a large-scale experiment to promote education and teaching reform by means of information technology. Online and offline integration of education and teaching has gradually become the new normal of teachers. Enriching the supply of learning resources, reconstructing learning content, recreating learning process and exploring teaching and research supported by educational technology have become the key. Give full play to the advantages of artificial intelligence, realize the free transformation of time and space, close cooperation between man and machine, timely tracking of data, resource sharing and consideration of individuality; Accelerate the development of a more open and flexible education system for every student and promote the balanced development of basic education.
At the same time, while using information technology, we should also use it scientifically to guard against the risks of information technology. On the one hand, we should understand the application of information technology in education and realize the advantages of internet-education and artificial intelligence-education; On the other hand, we should also know what risks it has. It is necessary to avoid risks and protect students' privacy and information security.
Curriculum reform is the core work in teaching field. In the future, we should strive to innovate the way of educating people, improve the quality of educating people, build an all-round education system, train outstanding new people of the times, and better accomplish the fundamental task of educating people.
