知识革命还是教育异化?ChatGPT与教育的未来

ChatGPT and the Future of Education:Intellectual Revolution or Educational Alienation?

ChatGPT具有“大力出奇迹”的暴力美学特征,以其为代表的通用大模型正在对教育领域产生深远影响。通用大模型作为一种代具性技术,能对学习者进行“武装”并缩小知识弱势者与他人的差距。同时,作为一种超级工具,通用大模型有望掀起新一轮知识革命。但通用大模型蕴含巨大的破坏性效应,将给教育带来紧迫的异化危机。通用大模型的灌输性输出与教育庸俗化紧密勾连,在这一情境下,学习者可能面临认知结构的浅薄化与认知思维的同质化等风险。通用大模型使用过程中的身体离场现象可能吞噬学习共同体,使学习者难以与身边的人和事物建立真实有效的交往关系。通用大模型的对话式学习模式可能带来教育价值的坍塌、新型数字权威体的崛起、平台资本的意识殖民化等风险。未来,需要根据不同情境采取辩证性行动,积极发挥通用大模型对教育生态的正向支持功能。

ChatGPT is characterized by the violent aesthetics of“working miracles with great force”,and its general grand model is having a profound impact on education.The general grand model is a surrogate technology that“arms”learners and closes the gap between the less knowledgeable and others.At the same time,as a super tool,the general grand model is expected to set off a new knowledge revolution.But this model can be very destructive and may well bring an urgent crisis of alienation to education.The indoctrinatory output combined with the vulgarization of education may put learners at risks of shallow cognitive structures and homogeneous cognitive thinking.The absence of physical learners may engulf the learning community and make it difficult for learners to establish authentic and effective relationships with the people and things around them.The dialogic learning model may lead to the collapse of educational values,the rise of new digital authorities,and the colonization of platform capital,among other risks.In the future,it is necessary to take appropriate actions to bring forth the positive roles of such general models in the education ecology.
