/PRZWT/Beijing, March 1, 2024 - Symposium on "Digitization and artificial intelligence for high-quality education"
Recently, a special seminar on "Digitization and artificial intelligence to help high-quality development of education" hosted by People's Data and undertaken by Beijing Hegi Juli Education Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully held in the New Media Building of People's Daily. The seminar invited representatives from the government, industry, academia, research and related media to participate. The meeting was chaired by Wu Hanhua, director of the Research and Consulting Department of the People's Data Research Institute.
Liu Chang, deputy general manager and editor-in-chief of People's Data, pointed out in his speech that digital intelligence is the core support of high-quality-oriented education in the new era. Intelligent education is an important innovation Strategy and Development direction of future education. How to promote high-quality development of education in the era of artificial intelligence is an important issue currently facing.
Ma Ming, vice president of Beijing Hegajiuli Education Technology, said that Hegajiuli has always insisted on providing rigid and practical digital products and services for basic education. At present, emerging technologies such as AIGC are developing rapidly. Hegajiuli gives full play to its technical and educational professional advantages, applies new technologies to service schools, and makes positive and beneficial contributions to promoting the high-quality development of China's education.
Liu Yu, the head of the AI laboratory of Hegajiuli Education Science and Technology Research Institute, released the artificial intelligence brand "He · AI" for the first time at the meeting, and introduced products such as AIGC-based composition intelligent teaching, middle school teaching evaluation, and personalized growth manual. The above applications have been gradually implemented in schools across the country, further helping schools reduce burdens and increase efficiency and improve teaching quality. At present, Hegajiuli has obtained a number of national invention patents and is exploring new education models and service methods, bringing more innovative practices and applications to schools.
During the roundtable session, a number of experts and industry insiders actively discussed.
Chu Zhaosheng, editor-in-chief of China Teacher Daily and editor-in-chief of China Education News Network, said that in recent years, from the central government to the Ministry of Education, attention has been paid to the impact of artificial intelligence on education. However, the application and promotion of AI in the field of education, on the one hand, needs to consider how technology can empower teachers and reduce the burden of teachers' work; on the other hand, digital technology can not be divorced from practical teaching while effectively expanding the coverage of high-quality educational resources.
Xia Shiwu, deputy dean of the School of Education of Minzu University of China, professor, and doctoral tutor of higher education, put forward three points of view: first, education is an ecology, and the development of the AI-empowered education ecosystem requires all-round changes between the organizational elements of education, so as to promote the teaching of students according to their aptitude and personalized education; second, the evaluation of AI education needs to not only consider the development of students' cognition, but also pay attention to students' emotional and social development; third, the development of digital intelligence education requires multi-party cooperation between the government, enterprises, society, and schools to achieve a balanced supply of educational resources, thus breaking the barriers and imbalances of traditional education.
Zhao Yingming, dean of Jingshiwo Education Digitalization Research Institute and executive director of the Education and Teaching Innovation Professional Committee of China Education Development Strategy Society, believes that with the evolution of technology, its application and promotion role in education are also changing. The development of educational technology is roughly divided into three stages: First, the Internet technology stage, the key contribution of this stage is to promote the sharing of educational resources and the equality of educational opportunities. Second, the primary AI stage. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the education field has begun to try to use AI for personalized teaching, intelligent evaluation, etc. Third, the OpenAI stage, especially the application of generative artificial intelligence, has brought new possibilities and challenges to education, which has also triggered extensive discussions on the role of AI in education and potential replacement effects.
The digitization of education aims to integrate social resources and jointly promote the development of education. Through technological means, the gap in teacher level and regional gap in the field of education can be bridged, especially in remote areas and places with limited educational resources. Based on technological means such as artificial intelligence, the domestic education field is ushering in new development opportunities. The state, society and enterprises will work together to promote the continuous development of education.
