计算的时代与算计的教育:学校教育中计算权力的理性限度及其超越

The Age of Computing and Education Calculation:The Rational Limits and Transcendens of Computational Power in Schooling

计算时代的景观秩序使人生活在“洞穴幻象”之中,从而造成符号表征的可见性赋魅、数字规训下的自我剥削及“抛放关系”的权力让渡等各种教育问题。人的生命成为被计算技术所规制的抽象物,“计算”也因而成为一种“权力”。计算权力使得人们痴迷于被分数绩效等显性指标所定义的平庸的优秀,并将预期的成功作为前期教育投资的补偿,最终走向“算计的教育”。算计的教育将人的身体行为、思维方式等置于精密而高效的形式化逻辑规则之中,他们在计算技术施加于生命主体之上的权力布控中沦为了“套中人”,这表征着计算权力的理性限度和规训化隐忧。算计既是他者(人造物)对人的非正义窥视,也是一种精神规训。计算则是一种利用数据分析进行智能预测和评估的客观手段,教育的育人本质以及教育主体的属人性注定了计算不可能是价值中立的,这就有存在“计算”技术因人的不合理使用而陷入“算计”的风险。在计算时代,教育需要重新审视计算权力的理性限度,从算计回归计算,从计算技术的规训权力回归教育个体的生命权力,以实现对计算权力的超越。

ion regulated by computational technology,and“computation”is thus becoming a kind of“power”.Computing has become a form of“power”.The power of computation makes people obsessed with mediocre excellence defined by explicit indicators such as performance scores and the expectation of success as compensation for the previous investment in education,ultimately leading to“education calculation”.Calculated education places human bodily behaviour and ways of thinking in the context of precise and efficient formalised logical rules,and they are reduced to“people in a trap”in the control of power exerted on the subject of life by computational technology,which represents the rational limits of calculated power and the potential for disciplining.Calculation is both an unjust glimpse of the Other(the artefact)into the human and a form of spiritual discipline.Calculation is an objective means of intelligent prediction and assessment using data analysis,and the nature of education and the genus of the subject of education predetermine that calculation cannot be value-neutral,which leads to the risk of“calculation”technology falling into“calculation”due to irrational use by human beings.In the era of computing,education needs to re-examine the rational limit of the power of computing,and return to computing from calculating,and return to the life power of individual educators from the disciplinary power of computing technology,so as to realize the transcendence of Computational Power.
