大数据在基础教育中的应用初步

A Preliminary Application of Big Data in Basic Education

大数据基于大体量的数据进行分析,可以从最微小的层面了解事物的现象和本质。通过其3大核心应用:概率预测、个性化和反馈,实现对学生学习轨迹的记录和分析,关注每个学生的真实学习状况,弥补传统教育中存在的一些问题和不足。教育大数据虽然有很多,但并未得到充分的挖掘和使用,分析其原因,一方面人们还不习惯用大数据思维思考和解决问题,另一方面由于教育的特殊性,大数据在教育领域的应用和发展需要面对更多的来源于社会、道德、伦理、技术等复杂问题。

Big data,which is based on the analysis of large amounts of data,enables us understand the phenomenon andsee the essence of things from the micro level.Through its main applications,including probability prediction,personalization and feedback,the recording and tracking on students’learning have been realized which makes true themonitoring of each student’s real learning situation,thus making up some of the problems and shortcomings existing in thetraditional education.In addition,theoretically speaking,big data can bring a fundamental change to the reform and developmentof education.However,there are a lot of big data about education which cannot be mined and used sufficiently.Asto the reasons,on one hand,people are not accustomed to thinking and solving problems from the horizon of big data.Onthe other hand,because of the specific characteristics of education,the application and development of big data in educationneed to face the complex issues from the perspectives of social reasons,morality,ethics,technology and etc.
