In the face of the challenges brought by AI represented by ChatGPT, education must see the future trend clearly, otherwise it is like working hard to build a ship, only to find that the travel destination is Deserts are just as useless.
For this reason, Ni Minjing, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, pointed out that education reform urgently needs to make major adjustments in the following three aspects:
One is that the primary goal of education is to cultivate people who can think independently and have correct value judgments, rather than acquiring specific knowledge.
Of course, knowledge learning is still important as the most important clue of brain connection. The key is which knowledge is the most important. This is a key issue.
This knowledge should be the basis for adapting to this fast-growing world and contributing to the development of the future world. Therefore, I think the most basic knowledge of humanities, technology and mathematics is still important, because it contains a lot of value judgments, thinking tools and solutions. At the same time, the learning content of programming thinking, modular thinking, and critical thinking needs to be supplemented urgently.
Second, the methods and methods of education need major adjustments, and the main direction is to use learning tools such as ChatGPT to collaboratively improve education and teaching methods, rather than avoiding and fearing.
Human beings can use tools is the reason for the rapid progress of human beings. In fact, ChatGPT is a brand new knowledge tool. In this sense, it is no different from the books and libraries we have relied on for thousands of years. Learning based on such powerful knowledge tools , our children should learn better. If you are worried that children will not be able to think because they rely on it, either the content we teach is of no value, or we do not understand that there are more advanced thinking methods on the basis of simple thinking that we educators need to develop.
We don't have to worry about children's jobs being replaced by artificial intelligence in the future, because for human cultural evolution: new technology always eliminates old labor by eliminating old production methods, but new technology always creates new human needs. Create more new labor.
The third is to go beyond knowledge learning and pay more attention to the quality of learning.
Really good learning is to some extent seeking slowness rather than fastness. Only slowness can forge the depth of thinking and forge deep interpersonal relationships in communicating with others;
It is difficult rather than easy, only challenges can motivate students to learn;
It is to seek less rather than more, only with less can we have leisure time to develop our own personality and form a diverse brain;
It is seeking clumsiness rather than seeking cleverness. Only seeking clumsiness can cultivate a person's research spirit and resilience.
A person's true success depends on the concentration of learning, the ability to rise from interest to aspiration, and become a person full of different personality traits; it depends on responsibility and tenacity, perseverance and perseverance when encountering difficulties; it depends on Good interpersonal relationship and collaborative spirit, able to get support and help from the team at critical times.
These learning qualities have never been related to technology, and of course they have nothing to do with this bull who suddenly ran into a porcelain shop-ChatGPT.
Therefore, in a world where new things emerge in an endless stream, we must maintain the strength of education, adhere to the direction of reform, and truly provide children with appropriate and meaningful education.
