元宇宙赋能在线教育的理性审视

Metaverse Empowering Online Education:Theory,Possibility and Rationality

作为一系列现代化技术的综合集成的元宇宙,更新在线教育的技术手段,创设超现实、高沉浸的虚拟化数字空间以拓展在线教育的学习场域,深化在线教育的学习体验,创生虚实交互的学习模式,能够调动学习者的具身认知与分布式认知,促进学生在情境中的深度学习,构建深度沉浸的学习空间,融合人脑与机器脑的交互学习,为在线教育的进一步发展提供了现实可能。元宇宙发展势头迅猛固然可喜,但教育教学的本质是育人而非炫技,若要元宇宙长久赋能在线教育的良性发展,需规训虚拟社区的数据伦理,厘清虚拟与现实的边界,警惕学习者“虚拟成瘾”,超越技术的工具理性和教育的功利价值,强化人的价值判断和道德伦理,把科技力量控制在道德范围内,规避技术应用可能带来的潜在风险,保证技术赋能下教育教学价值取向公平、合理,追寻在线教育的德性复归。

Metaverse,which integrates a series of new technologies,can update technology of online education,expand the study field with the surreal,highly immersed virtualization digital space,deepen the learning experience,and create the virtuality-reality interaction learning model.Metaverse can also mobilize learners’embodied cognition and distributed cognition,promote students’in-depth learning in the context,build a deeply immersive learning space,and integrate the interactive learning of human and machine brains,providing a possibility for the further development of online education.The rapid development of Metaverse is welcome,but technology research will eventually return to the nature of education,it is necessary to discipline the data ethic in virtual community,clarify the boundary between the virtual world and the reality,be wary of"virtual addiction",go beyond the instrumental rationality of technology and the utilitarian value of education,and pursue virtue return of online education,so as to ensure the further development of online education in Metaverse.
