教育治理与大数据技术失控:表征、缘由与应对——技术自主的视角

Out of Control of Big Data Technology in Educational Governance:Characterization,Reasons and Coping Strategies from the Perspective of Autonomous Technology

大数据技术的迅猛发展为教育治理现代化转型带来重要契机。然而,技术失控的威胁已成为现代教育理论与实践的隐忧。教育治理的理论家与实干者对大数据技术失控的隐忧挥之不去。本研究援引兰登·温纳的技术自主理论,以“技术漂迁”与“反向适应”两个概念描述教育治理过程中大数据技术失控的表征:技术过程不可见、技术结果难预料和技术重塑教育治理目标。究其原因,“显现的社会复杂性”与“隐藏的电子复杂性”、个人心理构成方式以及社会环境状态三种机制,导致技术脱离人类控制。面对大数据技术失控,人们不仅需要推动现有技术进步,寻求新的技术形式,还需探索技术与教育治理理念的深度结合路径。

The development of big data technology has brought important opportunities for the modernization and transformation of education.However,Scholars and practitioners in the field of education have lingering worries about the loss of control of big data technology.This study,following cites Langdon Winner's technology autonomy theory,and using the concepts of"technology drift"and"reverse adaptation,"to describs the important attributes and features of out-of-control risks of big data technology in the field of education governance such as technology process Invisibility,unpredictability of technological results,and technological reshaping of educational governance goals.The study also describes the three mechanisms of"appearing social complexity"and"hidden electronic complexity",and personal psychological structure and social environment state that have led to technology being out of human control.In the face of the risks of out-of-control big data technology,it is not only necessary to promote technological advancement and to seek new technological forms,but also to explore the deep integration of technology and educational governance.
