Today's education system has deviated from its original intention: the students' mental state is unprecedentedly high, and the burden of debt is unprecedentedly high; the syllabus is dead, too much emphasis on short-term learning, and over-respected skills. It is time to change the bad habits of the entire education industry.
Good education promotes personal development and promotes social progress. As South Africa’s first black president, Mandela, said, “Education is the most powerful weapon in the world.†In order to create a better future and promote the development of individuals and humanity as a whole, the younger generation needs to learn and acquire more skills. The first point is to change the status quo of education so that it can inspire students and meet the purpose of education to help students achieve self-worth.
Foreign media authors say that several major technological trends are changing the education system around the world. These trends not only provide innovative solutions for many criticized education systems, but also provide students with a more effective learning experience.
Digital classroom
The network has rapidly increased our access to information. The large-scale development of open online courses, also known as MOOCs, is a phenomenon. Last year, a total of 58 million students enrolled in the MOOC platform and participated in thousands of courses offered by 700 universities. Many MOOC classes, including prestigious courses, are open to users free of charge and are even officially recognized.
“Online learning breaks the physical limitations of traditional classrooms, and teachers can spread knowledge to thousands of students around the world at minimal cost.â€
Although online courses are still not perfect, these courses are increasingly emphasizing interactive learning and project-based learning. It breaks the physical limitations of traditional classrooms, and teachers can spread knowledge to students around the world at minimal cost. Also, students from developing countries are able to enroll in courses offered by world-renowned universities.
On the other hand, the acquisition of network information has also changed the learning experience of traditional classrooms, and has spawned some innovative teaching methods, such as hybrid learning. Blended learning is a teaching method that combines traditional classroom learning with online learning. Students watch online instructional videos at home, and classroom time is used to solve student problems and organize collaborative learning activities. Blended learning allows students to freely control learning time, learning progress and place of study.
2. Global online cooperation
Peter Diamandis pointed out that the number of Internet users will reach 3 billion to 5 billion for the first time in the next few years. At the same time, the number of smartphones that can be connected to the Internet will continue to increase. This trend will promote the development of online learning and will also promote the cooperation of Internet learners around the world.
According to a report by New Horizons, global online collaboration is becoming more and more important: “Digital tools can promote global interactive learning and enhance cross-cultural understanding.â€
While these users are immersed in the Internet, they will also give birth to their opinions and ideas. They participate in an online learning network that promotes the globalization of human compassion. The emerging company Belouga is an example. Through video conferencing and online chat, Belouga connects the global classroom. Such an internet learning network provides students with a direct channel for global connections, allowing students to understand the concept of “culture, cooperation and compassionâ€. Moreover, educators can also cooperate and share resources.
3. Future talent
According to the 2016 Annual Report of the World Economic Forum, 65% of the children who are now enrolled will be engaged in jobs that do not currently exist. According to McKinsey's forecast, with the development of technology, 45% of the work people nowadays will be automated in the future. Work that requires high-end skills such as innovation, emotional intelligence, and analytical thinking is harder to automate and is therefore most likely to survive. The current education system has been unable to adapt to the constant changes in the nature of talents, nor can it meet the requirements of skills in the 21st century.
“The gradual upgrading of talent and the emergence of emerging industries mean that we must encourage students to become lifelong learners.â€
The current education system has been unable to adapt to the constant changes in the nature of talents, nor can it meet the requirements of skills in the 21st century. So how can students be fully prepared to meet the changing needs of talent in the future? The Connections Academy's teachers believe that educators should pay attention to the three core skills of the 21st century: the ability to deal with complex issues, critical thinking and collaboration.
Moreover, the gradual upgrading of talent and the emergence of emerging industries mean that we must encourage students to become lifelong learners. Learning is no longer an activity that takes place only at specific times in the school. Instead, learning should be an ongoing process of self-development and exploring new ideas and skills.
4.VR virtual reality and AR augmented reality
"Show, not tell" has always been the basic principle of effective teaching. And VR virtual reality technology and AR augmented reality technology are completely changing the learning experience of students. In the context of VR virtual reality technology and AR augmented reality technology, students can travel through history, walk through the universe, and visit museums around the world without leaving the classroom.
For example, through the Google Expeditions Pioneer Program, teachers will lead students around the world, whether it's exploring coral reefs or looking at the surface of Mars, the Google Discovery Pioneer program can be achieved. And teachers can also bring students to immersive, virtual field trips.
The biggest benefit of VR virtual reality technology and AR augmented reality technology is to bring students a new learning experience that is exciting and exciting. This immersive learning experience is expected to enhance students' learning efficiency, practical ability and decision-making ability.
5. Big data and artificial intelligence
Big data not only facilitates the evaluation of educational programs, but also provides students with a valuable learning experience. Moreover, teachers can also use big data to identify the most effective teaching methods for student groups and individuals.
Data can be used to improve student achievement, assess each student's strengths and weaknesses, and plan a mass-customized educational program. Algorithms in the era of big data can analyze student personal data and develop specific projects for students based on real-time feedback from students.
One day, big data and artificial intelligence will help or even replace educators. A technical professor at Georgia used a virtual teaching assistant to chat with students, and some students did not notice the difference.
Currently, most online courses are still in volume production, but in the future these courses will be mass customized. After all, each student's personality, learning style and life path are unique, and their education should also reflect the individual's needs.
The future of education
In this ever-changing world, “educational institutions actively seek change, or be changed by technology†are all ways to return to educational purposes. Today more and more education companies and technology companies provide innovative solutions to the education system at minimal cost. Traditional educational institutions have no choice but to adapt and introduce educational technology, otherwise they will fall behind emerging organizations that can provide better services.
Finally, as a symbol of a civilized society, education directly reflects our values. The educational content and educational forms of future students will have a tremendous impact on the world we live in.
As the American educator John Dewy said, "If we teach today's children like we did yesterday, we will deprive children of the future."
