The influence of the information age on education 1 In the rapidly developing information age, information has increasingly become the most active and decisive factor in all fields of society. In the information age. Education has injected new vitality and vitality, which has had a profound impact on education and put forward higher requirements. Developing information education and cultivating learners' information awareness and information ability have become the inevitable trend of current education reform.
This paper mainly discusses the prominent characteristics of online education in the information age, the influence of online education on traditional education and the relationship between online education and traditional education, focusing on the influence of online education on traditional education.
This paper analyzes this influence from the aspects of teacher-student relationship, teaching methods and educational concepts, and finally explains the dialectical relationship between online education and traditional education.
Key words:
Online education and traditional education complement each other.
Today's society is the information age, and the network has become an important channel for information dissemination. With the rapid development of information technology, network education based on network technology came into being. At the end of 1990s, the Ministry of Education launched the action plan of education revitalization for 2 1 century, which opened the curtain of online education.
At the beginning of the new millennium, the convening of the National Conference on Education marked the rapid development of online education. The new era and new situation are accompanied by new questions: What are the outstanding features of online education? What impact does online education have on traditional education? How to treat the relationship between them correctly? This article is not simple, but is intended to make a brief discussion on the above problems.
First, the outstanding characteristics of online education
The so-called network education is to combine the technical level with the behavioral level, use modern information technology means, and build an ideal learning environment through the effective integration of information technology and subject courses. In online education, we should enjoy learning resources to the greatest extent, form the best educational environment, and ensure the space for students' individuality and innovative thinking. Compared with traditional education, online education has the following characteristics:
(1) Interactive and open. In online education, the two-way interaction and real-time interaction between teachers and students have been strengthened. In terms of communication with students, teachers have less time limit in class, and students can receive teachers' educational information by email or real-time chat.
Accept individual counseling from teachers, or feedback teaching information to teachers; Teachers constantly adjust and improve teaching according to the teaching information sent by students at any time, so as to promote all-round active real-time interaction of teaching network, make uninterrupted communication between teachers and students possible and promote teaching and learning.
Network education shows great openness because it breaks through the limitation of time and space in technology. Online education can be real-time, non-real-time, online or offline. Online education enables the educated to receive online learning at any time and place, and online education is open to all individuals. Individuals will not be rejected because of age, gender, race and other factors, and it is truly open education.
(2) virtuality and enjoyment. Network education is a kind of virtual education, and there are no real physical classrooms and other educational places. Educated people don't have to go to the classroom every day, just operate the keyboard. Teachers use network resources to make multimedia courseware, electronic teaching materials and cases. , real-time or non-real-time teaching on the network, using the background management system to monitor students' homework and exams. The resources in the network are shared by * * * and can be owned by network users.
Network resources are digital resources, not the privilege of a few people. Internet has by far the richest educational resources for human beings. Anyone can access the network through the Internet terminal anywhere and enjoy the network resources. Users can use databases, libraries and information bases in the network.
(3) Individualization and diversification. Network education is based on personality education. Learners click on the knowledge they are interested in in the network and explore independently. They can understand knowledge, develop personality and develop innovative thinking according to their own experience and perspective without being controlled by mainstream culture and consciousness.
Second, the impact of online education on traditional education
(A) Online education deconstructs the traditional teacher-student relationship. The appearance of online education has greatly changed the relationship between teachers and students in traditional education. The relationship between teachers and students in online education is equal. In interactive online education, teachers and students are in a state of quasi-permanent separation.
Without real classrooms and schools, the absolute power of teachers will cease to exist. Teaching has changed from teacher-centered to student-centered. Teachers should be fully aware of the change of their roles in online education, from knowledge learning director, cultural knowledge imparting, curriculum material executor and education and teaching manager to future life designer, knowledge system builder, curriculum material researcher and interpersonal relationship artist. Online education makes students truly become the masters of learning.
(B) Online education has changed the traditional teaching methods. The teaching in network education takes the information content as the main cognitive object, and studies in an independent and personalized way in the form of interaction between sender and receiver. In traditional education, students study at the same time and place in the form of classes, and students interact, communicate and participate together.
In online education, the separation of time and space determines that students mainly adopt personalized learning, with little interference from teachers and others.
Students choose their own learning pace and arrange how to study according to their learning ability and living habits. The uniqueness of online education teaching method is also reflected in the application of technical media. In traditional education, teachers mainly use blackboard, chalk, textbooks and other auxiliary media, and at the same time use their own verbal and nonverbal behaviors to impart knowledge to students.
In online education, technical media replaces traditional oral teaching, and teachers mainly rely on technical media to disseminate teaching information, such as teaching software, e-mail, online discussion, data files and databases, online learning management system, etc.
(3) Online education has updated the traditional educational concept. The emergence of online education provides a possible space for lifelong education and lifelong learning, and more and more people benefit from online education and learn for life. Network education has changed the traditional education's one-sided emphasis on reality and the pursuit of existing knowledge.
Education must turn the object of education into the subject of self-education. Today, we are concerned with the process of education and learning, rather than the teaching principles of traditional pedagogy. Network education is conducive to changing "other teaching" into "self-study" in learning. Online education has no pressure from teachers and interference from external things, and learning is completely independent.
If students want to acquire knowledge, they have to go to the internet to seek and choose independently. The network requires students to deconstruct the original knowledge system and build a new knowledge system through learning to adapt to the development of society.
Third, online education and traditional education complement each other.
(1) Online education is conducive to developing students' IQ, while traditional education is conducive to cultivating students' EQ. The information in online education is extremely rich, and the diversification of teaching information can stimulate students' yearning for modern science. Students should not only receive the information in the network, but also judge, analyze and synthesize the information.
When students are liberated from the time-consuming and repetitive tasks of traditional education, they can have more time to think, study and create. Although online education is beneficial to the development of students' intelligence, it is difficult to cultivate students' emotional intelligence, because the bad information on the internet is not conducive to the formation of students' scientific morality, outlook on life and values. If we neglect the cultivation of students' EQ, it will affect their lifelong development, and traditional education can make up for this deficiency of online education.
Traditional education attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' emotional intelligence. Through various activities, students can understand and master social norms, moral norms and principles of dealing with people, so as to better integrate into society in the future.
(2) Online education is conducive to cultivating students' self, while traditional education is conducive to developing students' cooperation. In online education, students often learn and solve problems independently, which is very independent: when students encounter problems, they don't ask teachers for help, and more often they seek solutions on their own in the network.
But when independence develops to a certain extent, it may also become self-centered. When a person trusts himself too much, he can't listen to other people's opinions and can't cooperate with others.
Modern society is a pluralistic society, which makes all tasks impossible for one person, and cooperation between people is particularly important. In traditional education, students and teachers are in contact with each other, often communicate, often engage in the same activities, and have a lot of contact time, so it is easier to communicate with each other. The cooperation between students is often experienced in various teaching activities, and the spirit of cooperation among students is also growing. This will lay a solid foundation for students to enter the society in the future.
(3) Online education is conducive to the development of students' personality, while traditional education is conducive to the formation of students' concepts. Online education has no absolute authority. Students can question authority, investigate and research, and conduct textual research. They can express their new ideas and viewpoints online, so as to truly display their individuality.
However, the openness of online education also affects the formation of students' values, and students' values have a strong guiding role in students' behavior. Online education has no normative value. Faced with all kinds of mixed information on the Internet, students can easily get lost and form bad values. For example, more and more young computer hackers.
Moreover, excessive internet access can easily make students escape from reality and form network dependence syndrome. Traditional education is different. The educational materials received by students are strictly screened and verified. Content that does not conform to social norms, moral standards and legal categories generally does not appear in textbooks, and students' daily behavior is strictly monitored by teachers. If there are irregular behaviors, teachers will use their power to correct students' behaviors.
In a word, online education and traditional education are irreplaceable, but they should learn from each other and complement each other. Network education is a supplement to traditional education. Only by combining it with traditional education can we fully accomplish the mission of education. Traditional education can only realize the development of students' personality and independence through online education, and realize lifelong education and lifelong learning.
In recent years, with the rapid development and increasing popularity of information technology, the wave of informatization has been pushed into all fields of social development, and the education system and model have also been greatly impacted. Informatization has brought revolutionary influence to education and promoted the continuous innovation and development of education.
Informatization changes the educational environment. In the information age, the traditional educational environment such as campus and classroom will be transformed into a new educational environment composed of network architecture, digital technology and intelligent equipment. In the new educational environment, the educational resources of the whole society will be integrated to the greatest extent, forming an open educational platform, and then generating new educational and teaching laws. In the information-based education environment, educators not only need to master the basic information technology tools, but also need to examine and guide all aspects and fields of the education and teaching process with the concept of information.
Informatization has changed the allocation of educational resources. Under the traditional education mode, the completion of education and teaching must rely on entities such as schools. In the information environment, the education system will no longer be limited to traditional campuses, but also traditional schools, online colleges and virtual open universities. * * * Together form an integral part of the education system; Educated people can not only acquire knowledge through traditional face-to-face teaching, but also receive education in different places without leaving home with the help of computers and networks. Students and teachers distributed all over the world can study and discuss courses in the virtual classroom at the same time. E-schools will be integrated into our lives.
Informatization promotes educational reform and innovation. The application of information technology has greatly accelerated the pace of educational reform and innovation. Introducing network technology into education and teaching can effectively promote the reorganization of education system and the optimal allocation of social education resources. In recent years, as the main body of education, the school has vigorously promoted the process of informatization and equipped with information equipment, and has achieved remarkable results in teaching, scientific research, teaching management and teaching evaluation, which has effectively promoted the reform and transformation of education. In response to this trend, the education authorities in China have implemented the distance education project, with the aim of establishing an open education network, integrating and optimizing educational resources to the maximum extent and building a lifelong education system through the application of information technology.
Informatization changes educational evaluation standards. Knowledge and talents are the basic concepts in the traditional education evaluation system. With the application of information technology, the speed of knowledge updating is faster and faster, and the application of knowledge is more important. The view of knowledge under the information environment emphasizes "how to do it". Therefore, the traditional talent view based on knowledge possession and knowledge application ability will be replaced by the quality talent view. The concept of quality-oriented talents pays more attention to talents' information ability, innovation ability, cooperation spirit and adaptability. In the information age, morality is the soul of talents, physical strength and intelligence are the foundation of talents, information and network ability are the main characteristics of talents, and innovation ability is the main purpose of talent training.
In 20 10, China promulgated the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020), emphasizing the acceleration of the process of education informatization. To seize the opportunity of educational informatization and promote educational reform and development, we must strengthen the digital construction of basic education and promote the sharing of high-quality educational resources; Accelerate the informatization construction of vocational education and support the cultivation of high-quality skilled talents; Promote the deep integration of information technology and higher education, and innovate the talent training mode; Build a public service platform for continuing education and improve the lifelong education system; Integrating information resources and improving the modernization level of education management. At the same time, establish a scientific and standardized system and mechanism to provide a fundamental guarantee for the sustainable development of educational informatization.
The influence of information age on education. The Challenge of Information Technology to Traditional Education
With the rapid development of multimedia technology and network technology, more and more people realize that the development of information technology will bring profound changes to the whole educational thought, mode and method. Around this issue, we can understand it from the following aspects:
1. The influence of information technology on educational concept is manifested in people's change of school concept. In the information society, students can receive the education and guidance of excellent teachers on their computers at home without leaving home, and they can also use the global information base to access the relevant information of electronic libraries around the world at will. The time and space for students to study will be transferred from school to family or workplace, which will make primary and secondary education break the limitation of time and space and produce an open distance education model for primary and secondary schools. Students and teachers in different places can sit in a "virtual classroom" for study and discussion at the same time, which will break the "school center" or "classroom center". Education in the information society will be a society in which people choose education.
2. Information technology will change the role of teachers. Because information technology provides diversified information channels for education, a person has less and less time to acquire necessary knowledge, so teachers will have more time and energy to pay attention to the cultivation of students' personality and character, pay attention to cultivating students' healthy psychology, eliminate psychological obstacles in time, guide students to form noble sentiments and sound psychology, and enhance students' ability to adapt to and serve society. In classroom teaching, teachers have changed from interpreters and transmitters of knowledge to helpers, instructors and promoters of students' meaning construction. Some teachers will change from direct teaching to indirect teaching, from behind the scenes to behind the scenes, and become compilers, managers and servers of educational software.
3. Information technology makes teaching methods, teaching methods and learning activities more flexible and diverse. The rapid development of multimedia technology has made a major breakthrough in the basic aspects of knowledge representation in educational technology. Knowledge can be expressed by words, images, animations, sounds, videos, graphics and other multimedia, which can simulate a colorful world and appear a virtual world. In other words, all subjects can be taught on the computer. If we say that in the past, due to the limitation of teaching conditions, we could only adopt the collective teaching mode of class system, but we could not really teach students in accordance with their aptitude, today, with the development of information technology such as computer, multimedia and network, we can realize personalized teaching mode, group collaborative learning mode, remote real-time interactive multimedia teaching, online learning, online discussion and so on. Information technology transforms "teacher-centered" into "student-centered", which makes students learn more actively and actively.
Second, the application of information technology in education
(A) the application level of information technology in primary and secondary schools
1. As the research object: teaching students information technology knowledge and skills. If 2 1 century is recognized as the information society, then the talents in 2 1 century should at least have the ability to connect with the information society. If you live in the information society, you can't use computers and the Internet, so you can't integrate into this society. Computer courses in primary and secondary schools should focus on cultivating students' information literacy, cultivating students' interest and awareness in learning and applying information technology, helping students master basic computer knowledge and basic operation skills, teaching students how to collect, use, communicate, enjoy, make and protect information, and making students adapt to the learning, work and lifestyle of the information society.
2. As an auxiliary tool of traditional education, it emphasizes the integration of information technology and various courses, and finds places that can enhance the learning effect, so that teachers and students can do things that other methods can't.
3. Build a new learning model: create a new information-based learning environment and educational environment, and explore a new learning model. This learning mode should reflect the subjectivity of students' learning, emphasize the learning mode of inquiry, problem solving and cooperation, and highlight diversified and personalized individual learning behaviors.
4. Promote comprehensive education reform: based on information technology, fundamentally reform the educational objectives, contents, modes and organizational forms.
(B) the construction of campus multimedia network education system
1. Multimedia comprehensive classroom: Multimedia combined teaching can be realized in this classroom. In this mode, teachers can explain and operate at the same time, combine teaching content to show examples, create scenarios, present processes and provide demonstrations. The system is suitable for classroom teaching of various subjects, which can solve the problems of demonstration teaching and help teachers play their roles. The disadvantage is that students can only watch and listen, but can't "do". Students' feedback information can only be obtained through teachers' observation and questioning.
2. Multimedia electronic classroom: In this classroom, any form of teaching information, such as CDs, CAI courseware, computer applications, teaching videos, recordings, projections, objects, etc. , which can be played in real time to realize the functions of teaching demonstration, demonstration and explanation. In the process of broadcasting, teaching information can be transmitted to all students, or some students, or some students, so as to realize class teaching, group teaching and individual teaching. Teachers can observe the learning situation of any student without leaving their seats, and monitor the discussion among students, so that teachers can know the learning situation of students in time and accurately, and standardize the teaching and learning process. Teachers can also remotely control students' operation and learning process and provide one-on-one individual counseling. In the process of learning, students can call the teacher for counseling if they have any questions they don't understand. In the process of monitoring and supervising, if problems are found, teachers can also connect students' computers for individual counseling.
Undoubtedly, the development of educational informatization has inserted wings for the development of basic education, and our teachers will travel in a wider educational world and fly higher and higher.
The influence of the information age on education Article 4 The development of information technology has brought impetus to modern education and provided rich information resources and tools for modern education. The application of information technology has become one of the characteristics of modern educational technology. Therefore, understanding the importance of knowledge, information and information technology in modern education will play an important role in the development and prospect of education.
First, the value of knowledge and information in the information age
The world is in an era of great changes in information and communication technology. Knowledge and information have become an important factor in social and economic development, and have increasingly penetrated into economic, cultural, political and other activities. Knowledge and information are indispensable foundations and necessities of the information society. Knowledge and information are as important to the information society as blood is to the human body. Without the circulation of knowledge and information, the information society will collapse and human society will fall into the crisis of historical retrogression. Knowledge and information are the main resources of the information economy, the important foundation of economic development and the wealth of the information society. With knowledge and information, there are advantages and opportunities for development. However, there are essential differences among knowledge, information and natural resources.
First of all, knowledge and information have timeliness. Knowledge and information are constantly updated, and today's possession does not guarantee eternal possession. Therefore, the possession of knowledge and information is a process of continuous progress.
Secondly, knowledge and information are shared and copied. The energy of knowledge and information can only be released in the process of dissemination and application. Therefore, mastering the methods and ways to obtain information is the key to have development opportunities and advantages in the information society, and the level of social informatization will be the decisive factor and measure of economic development level. Modern information technology makes the hypothesis of "global village" come true. In many fields, physical space distance is no longer a factor affecting the acquisition of products and services. Telemedicine, distance education, distance shopping, etc. With the help of modern information technology, the long-distance mode that breaks through the time and space constraints represents the birth of the global long-distance economy.
Second, the impact of information technology on educational content
Information technology promotes educational reform and learning revolution, the first of which is; The content is the reform and revolution of educational content. The gradual popularization of modern science and technology, especially the Internet, has greatly expanded students' knowledge sources. In the information age, students not only absorb knowledge from local cultural environment and books including family, society and school, but also learn knowledge from cross-cultural and cross-time electronic information resources through satellite TV and Internet. The expansion of knowledge resources provides a broader world for students' development, and also puts forward a new topic for school education-how to make students fully develop in the vast electronic space and become talents needed in the information age?
First of all, the information age needs knowledgeable talents. The wealth of human knowledge needs to be handed down from generation to generation, and imparting the accumulated knowledge of predecessors is still one of the main contents of school education. The timeliness of knowledge in the information society is stronger than ever, and the cycle of knowledge updating is shorter than ever. Therefore, the possession of knowledge is not only the inheritance of the accumulated knowledge of predecessors, but also the renewal of new knowledge.
Secondly, the information society needs not only talents who can learn, but also talents with cooperative ability. People usually think that dealing with computers all day will make people lose their emotional and interpersonal skills. It comes to a conclusion that in the information society, we only need to deal with machines, not feelings and interpersonal cooperation. In fact, although the development of computer network technology has reduced the opportunities of interpersonal communication, it does not mean that the importance of interpersonal communication and cooperation has been reduced. If the result of adopting machines in industrialization is that the collective labor mode of assembly line replaces the individual labor mode, which shows the importance of interpersonal cooperation, then the long-distance mode in the information society replaces the assembly line coordination with networked and more accurate system coordination. The concept of discipline, division of labor and cooperation, mutual understanding, mutual respect and mutual cooperation are all the abilities and qualities that people in the information society must possess. The United States, Australia and other countries often ask some questions from the beginning of primary school, and everyone cooperates to answer them, and then teachers compare them among groups to cultivate students' sense of collective honor.
Third, the information society needs talents who are physically and mentally healthy. No matter what society, people should learn to survive. The most basic condition for survival is to be able to adapt to the environment. So the most basic viability is the ability to adapt to the environment. Information technology has accelerated the activity rhythm of the whole society, and only people who are physically and mentally healthy can survive and develop in the information society. In recent years, the increase in drug abuse, suicide and crime rate among teenagers in developed countries such as the United States and Japan has sounded the alarm for us. It can be seen that highly developed science and technology can improve the level of material civilization, while the corresponding spiritual civilization construction is beyond the power of science and technology. Education is the project of shaping human soul and the main way of spiritual civilization construction. Cultivating healthy talents for society is the mission of education.
Third, the impact of information technology on teaching methods
A psychologist believes that knowledge is not simply transmitted from teachers to students, but is formed by learners' active construction in their brains during the learning process. The learning environment in the information age greatly enriches students' knowledge sources. Hypertext computer teaching software and Internet information system have brought more learning initiative to students. Information technology and its accompanying learning environment will inevitably bring about a revolution in teaching methods. The methods of teaching and learning in the information age will undergo fundamental changes.
First, the teacher's "talk" has become a "guide". It was once suspected that well-designed multimedia computer teaching software would replace the role of teachers in the information age, but in fact, teachers are still a very important educational role in the information age. However, the teaching methods have changed in essence. A "teaching" teacher should be a "guiding" teacher. Before the industrial revolution, a person could be familiar with encyclopedias, and a teacher could cover all courses from astronomical geography to humanities and technology. With the accumulation and enrichment of human knowledge, school education focusing on subject teaching has emerged. One can become a physicist and a chemist, but it is impossible to know an encyclopedia generalist. In the information age, with the explosive expansion of information and knowledge, no one can avoid constantly updating knowledge in order to keep up with the times. Therefore, teachers standing on the podium, even teenage pupils, do not necessarily know more than students. Therefore, in traditional classroom teaching, teachers' lectures should be guided by tour guides. After introducing the basic knowledge, the teacher's main task is to guide students to take the initiative to study and explore activities. Only in this way can we give full play to students' potential ability and rich information resources, and achieve a high level of quality and quantity teaching effect.
Second, students' "listening" has become "learning". In the teaching process of the information age, students should take on more responsibilities and have greater initiative. So it's more creative. In the information age, textbooks and teachers are not the only sources of knowledge. In addition to learning knowledge from the classroom, it is more important to let students use their learning skills to explore and learn knowledge from rich learning resources. This kind of learning based on students' interest and consciousness will make students' gains more profound and consolidated. In a word, information technology has brought unprecedented changes and challenges to education. For every educator, the educational reform in the new century has a long way to go.
