元宇宙会是昙花一现吗?——“现象级”数智技术及其教育启示

Will the Metaverse be a Flash in the Pan?——“Phenomenal”Digital Intelligence Technologies and Its Educational Implications

从元宇宙到生成式人工智能,科技进步以指数级跃升态势,推动人类社会前行。教育作为连接技术与社会的人力资源纽带,在“现象级”数智技术高歌猛进的一波波热潮裹挟下不断面临“如何变”的拷问。随着元宇宙的讨论热度被生成式人工智能所取代,人们不禁追问:元宇宙会是昙花一现吗?为此,文章首先依托技术促进教育变革的原理,分析了以元宇宙、生成式人工智能为代表的“现象级”数智技术给教育领域带来的学习方式变迁、认知方式转变、教育关系演变和系统生态变革,并指出技术是教育变革的影响因素和驱动力,对教育发展起积极的推动作用。随后,文章通过对技术属性的解析来理解跃迁中的数智技术,并探析了数智技术促进教育发展的本质,即对学习方式、认知方式、教育关系和系统生态变革进行编程。最后,文章阐释了“现象级”数智技术的教育启示,以期为数智时代背景下技术促进教育发展的本质探索与意义解构提供启示,并引领未来数智教育的发展方向。

From the metaverse to generative artificial intelligence,scientific and technological progress has exponentially propelled human society forward.Education,as the human resource link connecting technology and society,constantly faced the question of“how to change”under the wave of“phenomenal”digital intelligence technologies.With the substitution of discussions fervor of metaverse by generated artificial intelligence,people cannot help but wonder if the metaverse is a flash in the pan.Therefore,relying on the principle of technology promoting educational reform,this paper firstly analyzed the changes in learning methods,the transformation of cognitive methods,the evolution of educational relationships,and the revolution of system ecological brought by“phenomenal”digital intelligence technologies represented by the metaverse and generative artificial intelligence to the education field,and pointed out that technology was an influencing factor and driving force for educational reform,and played a positive role in promoting the educational development.Subsequently,the paper analyzed the attributes of technology to understand the digital intelligence technology in the transition,and explored the essence of digital intelligence technology promoting educational development,which was,programming the learning methods,cognitive methods,educational relationships and system ecology.Finally,the educational enlightenments of“phenomenal”digital intelligence technologies were expounded,in order to provide enlightenment for the essence exploration and meaning deconstruction of the educational development promoted by technology under the background of the digital intelligence era,and guide the future development direction of digital intelligence education.
