教育数字乌托邦的风险及其防范

The Risks of Educational Digital Utopia and its Prevention

数字技术在推动教育变革与创新的同时,也加剧了教育主体对数字技术的依赖、想象和崇拜,这在一定程度上诱发了“教育数字乌托邦”现象的出现。教育数字乌托邦不单是一种技术乐观主义思维下的教育遐想,还是教育主体缺乏理性批判精神的一种教育数字冲动,它本质上隐含着教育与数字的关系失衡问题。教育数字乌托邦现象的发生,将给教育带来诸多潜在风险:教育主体地位异置的数字崇拜风险;数据隐私泄露与滥用的数字安全风险;数字资本煽动与鼓吹的数字消费风险;智能技术内生的数字算法风险。据此,我们需要重构数字与教育的关系,建立教育数据隐私安全机制,加强教育主体数字素养培育,基于数字人文优化教育算法设计,以此来防范教育数字乌托邦的产生及其风险,科学地推动教育数字化转型。

While digital technology promotes educational reform and innovation,it also intensifies education subjects'dependence,imagination and worship on digital technology,which to a certain extent induces the emergence of the phenomenon of educational digital utopia.Educational digital utopia is not only an educational reverie based on technological optimism,but also an educational digital impulse caused by the lack of rational critical spirit among educational subjects.It essentially implies the imbalance of the relationship between education and technology.The occurrence of the phenomenon of educational digital utopia will bring many potential risks to education:the risk of digital cults in which the status of educational subjects is alienated;the risk of digital security in which data privacy is leaked and abused;the risk of digital consumption in which digital capital is instigated and promoted;the risk of digital algorithms that are endogenous to smart technologies.Accordingly,we need to reconstruct the relationship between digital and education,establish a mechanism for educational data privacy and security,strengthen the cultivation of digital literacy of educational subjects,optimize the design of educational algorithms based on digital humanities,in order to prevent the emergence of educational digital utopia and its risks,and scientifically promote the digital transformation of education.
