虚拟现实教育应用的伦理反思——基于伯格曼技术哲学视角

Ethical Reflection on Application of Virtual Reality in Education:Based on the Perspective of Borgmann's Philosophy of Technology

虚拟现实技术的应用热潮促使教育工作者需理性反思新兴技术在教育应用中的伦理尺度。文章分析了目前虚拟现实与在线教育融合下的常见伦理矛盾,借助伯格曼技术哲学理论审视虚拟现实教育应用的异化本质,剖析了技术关照下教育场域的三重空间、教育主体与虚拟空间的延异过程、技术介入下教育现实的人本维护等问题;提出虚拟现实在教育应用中伦理尺度的建构路向,包括塑造虚拟空间情境性、延续教育主体同一性、还原教育现实在场性。研究发现,虚拟现实技术在教育中的应用需重视教育主体的过程性体验,呼吁教育者要守护学生参与教育现实的机会,延续传统教学的人文关怀,重构新技术与教育融合下的新型聚焦实践。

The application of virtual reality(VR)technology has prompted educators to rationally reflect on the ethical standards of emerging technologies in educational applications.This paper analyzes the common ethical contradictions in the current fusion of VR and online education,and examines the alienated nature of VR educational applications from the perspective of Borgmann's philosophy of technology.This paper analyzes the problems of the triple space of the educational field under the care of technology,the different process between the main body of education and the virtual space,and the human-oriented maintenance of the educational reality under the intervention of technology.And then this paper puts forward the way of constructing the ethical scale of VR in educational applications,including shaping the contextualization of virtual space,continuing the identity of the subject of education,and restoring the presence of educational reality.The research finds that for the application of VR in education,it is necessary to pay attention to the process experience of the education subject,to call on educators to guard the opportunities for students to participate in educational reality,to continue the humanistic care of traditional teaching,and to reconstruct the new focused practice under the integration of new technology and education.
