数字教材的媒介偏向及教育应对

The Media Bias and Educational Responses to Digital Textbooks

任何媒介都有自己的特质,任何媒介特质都有自己的倾向性,这一固有的倾向性即媒介偏向。教材本身一旦被数字技术重塑,在时空、认知、内容等方面将呈现新的偏向特征。这些偏向具有赋予某些事物更高价值的倾向,具有干预教育甚至重塑教育的力量。数字教材作为一种特殊的媒介,在媒介偏向上至少有三种严重影响教育的类型:时空偏向、感知偏向和内容偏向。教育实践场域中应利用数字教材的时空偏向推动以“流动空间”与“无时之时”为特征的教学模式重塑;重视数字教材的感知偏向,强化媒介素养教育;紧盯数字教材的内容偏向,防止内容的琐碎化与娱乐化现象,避免教材内容“失控”。

Every medium has its own characteristics,and each medium's characteristics have their own tendencies.This inherent tendency is known as media bias.Once textbooks are reshaped by digital technology,they will exhibit new biased characteristics in terms of time,space,cognition,and content.These biases have the power to assign higher value to certain things and can intervene in education or even reshape it.As a special medium,digital textbooks have at least three types of significant impacts on education through media bias:temporal bias,perceptual bias,and content bias.In the field of educational practice,one should leverage the temporal bias of digital textbooks to promote the restructuring of teaching models characterized by“fluid space”and“timelessness.”Emphasis should be placed on the perceptual bias of digital textbooks,strengthening media literacy education.Attention should be focused on the content bias of digital textbooks to prevent the trivialization and entertainment of content,avoiding the loss of control over the content of textbooks.
