Although information technology has already entered the campus, online education network and curriculum construction have also come one after another, but the teaching form based on the teacher's platform has not changed. Maybe PPT replaces the blackboard, and students have more pads in their hands, but the classroom is still like that. The reason is that the influence of the Internet on education is not enough to fundamentally change the traditional educational ecology.
"But it's different now." Chen Yuxi, dean of the Examination and Evaluation Institute of East China Normal University and director of the massive open online course center, said, "In the new era, technological revolutions such as big data, cloud computing and mobile Internet are bringing education into the 4.0 era of teaching self-organization, learning socialization and thinking visualization."
"Internet+education" is bound to bring profound revolution to the traditional class system education, but it is not the gravedigger of traditional education, but the driving force for the transformation and upgrading of traditional education. The government, schools and families should meet the historic opportunities and challenges brought by "Internet+Education" with an open mind.
Internet cuts the "pain point" of traditional education
A classroom, a teacher and a blackboard are traditional classrooms and the most important way for people to learn knowledge for thousands of years. Nowadays, some disadvantages of the classroom model are increasingly prominent.
-The teaching mode has passed the "death". Teachers impart knowledge to students in an orderly way, which is limited by the teaching plan. Classroom teaching is usually carried out around the teaching plan. When to give lectures, when to ask questions and how much time to give students to answer questions are all designed in advance. Cramming class will inevitably make students feel boring.
-The teaching organization is too "passive". In traditional classroom teaching, teachers and students are often in a state of tension, and students' learning style is passive and lacks individuality. There is little confrontation between thinking and wisdom in the classroom, and students lack opportunities for independent exploration, cooperation and exchange and independent acquisition of knowledge.
-Pay too much attention to "taking the exam". Teachers' evaluation of students mainly depends on their mastery of what they have learned in class, while schools' evaluation of teachers basically depends on their teaching achievements. The result of emphasizing the outcome evaluation while ignoring the process evaluation is that students' self-confidence and enthusiasm in learning are suppressed, and their ability of independent learning and development cannot be cultivated as they should.
In addition, in universities, long-term enrollment expansion leads to larger classes, and a teacher often has to face hundreds of students. The distance between campuses also reduces teaching efficiency. Moreover, training a good teacher is not a one-off event, which makes many colleges and universities face the problem of uneven teaching staff and teaching quality.
"The Internet has just cut the pain point of traditional education." Chen Yukun said that just as the invention of printing has greatly promoted the development of school education, the Internet, as a brand-new medium, will also solve the problems that traditional education cannot solve in time and space.
First of all, it breaks the monopoly of authority on knowledge, makes education move from closed to open, and enables people to obtain the learning resources they want anytime and anywhere. Second, the boundary between teachers and students is no longer clear. Teachers are only the one who "acquired knowledge earlier", and their own position should be changed from "coach of students' learning" to "partner and guide". Third, the value of high-quality educational resources has been greatly enlarged. An excellent teacher can even serve hundreds of thousands of students. Theoretically, the traditional education gap caused by regional and teacher differences will gradually narrow or even fill. In addition, the internet will accelerate the self-evolution of education, and the inefficient and unfair aspects of traditional education will be gradually eliminated, making the educational ecology more suitable for the development of society.
Liu Zhuoyuan, director of the thinking visualization Teaching Experiment Center of the Institute of Modern Educational Technology of East China Normal University, pointed out that Education 4.0 is a new form of education in the era of information intelligence civilization, with satisfying learners' mental development as the main educational goal, Internet and intelligent terminals as the information carrier and transmission mode, and teaching authority organizations combined with autonomous learning communities as the organizational form.
Yu Jianbo, assistant dean of the massive open network course research institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that the "Internet+education" in the education 4.0 era is a process of reshaping education and teaching mode, content, tools and methods with Internet thinking and behavior patterns on the basis of respecting the essential characteristics of education, which is a qualitative change process.
How many changes exist in "Education under Big Data"
In the follow-up experiments, Chen Yukun discovered the extraordinary role of data in teaching research: most students learn online math video courses step by step, but a few weeks after the course ends, the students jump back to Lesson 3. It is found that the third class is a review of mathematics knowledge, obviously because students lack confidence in their ability to solve problems. From this, Chen Yukun knows where to add more knowledge review.
"Teachers can immediately control and reflect on teaching through the results of data analysis, and students can also find the shortcomings in learning as soon as possible." Chen Yuxi said that based on the application of big data, the process evaluation of learning can be realized, and teachers can also make personalized teaching plans for different students, so that they will no longer ignore a certain student.
"The biggest gain that domestic colleges and universities get from the practice of massive open online courses for many years is that although massive open online courses still emphasize' talent education in forums', it can produce big data, which can reveal what kind of learning is efficient, and then lead to a complete change in teaching roles, curriculum models and evaluation methods." Yu Jianbo said.
Big data application is one of the representations of Education 4.0. "Internet+Education" will bring the following changes.
First, the teaching mode has changed from fixed time and space teaching to online and offline mixed teaching. Instead of teaching before learning, students can learn independently without the limitation of time and space, and then take questions to the classroom and conduct inquiry learning under the guidance of teachers, which will help improve the effectiveness of teaching and students' personalized learning ability.
Second, the course is more media-oriented, visual and intelligent. On the basis of ensuring the scientific integrity of the knowledge system, cutting-edge knowledge in various fields can quickly refresh school textbooks and courses with the help of the Internet, and change the current situation of slow updating of course content. At the same time, the more advanced external packaging form of the course will make the learning content more intuitive and clear, more humanized and increase the interest in learning.
The third is to build more free education platforms. In order to achieve a higher level of educational balance, equal access to quality educational resources is particularly important. Experts say that the future of Internet education is no longer to move traditional courseware online, but to build a free community platform to gather more high-quality courses, so that learners can realize self-appreciation in a strong learning atmosphere and real and effective interaction.
Fourth, Internet education has achieved more social authentication. After learning online courses, people naturally hope to get corresponding social recognition. At present, individual universities in the United States have awarded diplomas to outstanding learners of massive open online courses. According to industry insiders, there will be certificates that match Internet learning content in the future.
Cold thinking: What do schools and teachers need to do?
The trend is irreversible. How to face opportunities and challenges? Jian Xu, vice-chairman of Shanghai World Foreign Language Middle School, said that since the implementation of education informatization, it has had a positive and far-reaching impact on China's education and teaching reform, and at the same time, there have been some formalism. The so-called "school-to-school communication" and "class-to-class communication" in some primary and secondary schools only move the traditional educational model and system to the Internet, and there is no structural change or innovation in educational concepts.
He believes that in the era of "internet plus", teachers should first take the initiative to change their ideas and treat students from an equal perspective, which is the guarantee to achieve benign interaction. Secondly, teachers themselves are the best courses, so we should endow the courses with personality and style, bring in true feelings and make ourselves a teacher whose technology cannot be replaced.
At the same time, schools and teachers should truly establish a "student-centered" user thinking, care about and understand students' needs, and improve students' information application ability; With the help of big data application, we can promote the scientific management decision, the differentiation of teaching forms and the "green diversity" of evaluation methods.
With the "internet plus" being incorporated into the national strategy, the Internet, as a powerful external force, is expected to transform all walks of life with unprecedented "speed and passion".
Although information technology has already entered the campus, online education network and curriculum construction have also come one after another, but the teaching form based on the teacher's platform has not changed.

As a powerful external force, the Internet is expected to change the utilitarian trend of "baton teaching" in China's basic education, but this goal still needs the initiative of the education administrative department, such as encouraging teachers to invest in teaching research, paying attention to the innovation of education and teaching methods, accelerating the establishment of modern school system, reforming the examination and selection system, and creating a benign atmosphere of running schools according to educational laws and attracting people with educational quality and service.
In addition, the development of the Internet has led to the rise of a number of "O2O" Internet education enterprises. As an important force to promote education reform, their status should be respected and protected.
