"Human-machine co-teaching" makes the classroom full of technological charm, distance learning allows you to watch courses from famous teachers from all over the world, and big data provides higher quality and efficiency for the classroom... The progress of science and technology has brought new impetus and promoted Digital transformation and change in the education industry. With the support of 5G, artificial intelligence and other technologies, smart classrooms have become more interesting

Students have a large number of "fans"

The children of Meili Primary School in Futian District, Shenzhen welcomed a "special" teacher, with a round head, pink ears, and a cute image... This AI general teacher is the "special" teacher among the children. It has countless fans.” At the "AI and real teachers' 'same class heterogeneous' teaching observation event" held by South China Normal University and Meili Primary School, the "AI teacher" "ignited" the classroom with its flexible movements and playful language, winning over the children. their attention. It can talk to students and provide real-time feedback on the difficulties and key points in class exercises. What’s even cooler is that this “AI teacher” can also provide guided explanations based on specific situations.

"It can interact with me at any time, it's so interesting" "It looks cute" "It explains the questions I asked very clearly"... Students have many praises for this "AI teacher". Huang Guangxu, principal of Meili Primary School, said that education needs to boldly embrace the latest information technology, let AI empower education, and let AI enter the classroom of the future. This is an inevitable trend. In the future, education will improve classroom quality and efficiency through human-computer interaction and stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning.

Artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly, and "AI teachers" and "virtual teachers" are gradually becoming a reality. We are gradually exploring how to become teachers' partners and fully empower the education industry. Professor Huang Fuquan, dean of the School of Basic Education at South China Normal University, said that promoting "AI teachers" into classrooms can reduce teachers' workload, innovate teaching methods, effectively integrate with traditional classrooms, and improve classroom efficiency.

Classes with famous teachers are free of charge

In addition to “AI teachers”, “Cloud Classroom” is another microcosm of technology-empowered education. Through network cables and screens, teachers and students can log in to the national smart education public service platform and browse and use the massive high-quality educational resources on it.

"You can listen to classes in the 'Cloud Classroom' over and over again." "It's great to be able to watch classes taught by special teachers from Beijing and Shanghai at home!" "It's so delicious to have classes from famous teachers that don't cost money. !" The students who attended the lecture all "liked" it.

They can watch the teachings of special teachers from Beijing and Shanghai at home, which is really great! And the courses given by these famous teachers are free, which is great! Students have given positive comments

Since its launch more than a year ago, the national smart education public service platform has targeted 529,000 schools, 18.44 million teachers, 291 million students and learners in society, and has gathered 44,000 primary and secondary school teaching resources and 1,295 vocational education professional teaching resource libraries. There are 27,000 high-quality MOOCs for personal and higher education, and 26 high-quality government services are provided. The number of visitors exceeds 1.1 billion, and users cover more than 200 countries and regions around the world. The "cloud classroom" teaching model injects more vitality into the digital construction of China's education industry and promotes the fair distribution of educational resources.

Xu Xiaoming is an associate researcher at the Scientific Research Department of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration). He believes that education digitalization can expand the coverage of high-quality educational resources, gradually reduce the gap between high-quality educational resources in different regions and urban and rural areas, and vigorously promote educational equity

Provide more accurate teaching guidance

One of the important goals of smart teaching is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of teaching through big data. With the development of big data technology, many schools have begun to use big data precision teaching platforms to conduct online marking and generate analysis reports. In this way, we can not only find the common mistakes of students, but also accurately identify the problems of each student

Wang Shipeng, a mathematics teacher at Hefei No. 7 Middle School, said that based on the reports generated by the platform, he will select test questions with high-frequency error points and low scoring rates for centralized review in class. For questions with a correct rate of about 70%, he will ask students who answered incorrectly to analyze them and work with them to help them reflect on the reasons for their mistakes. For the test questions that individual students have made mistakes, he will use the breaks in class to go to the corresponding students and provide one-on-one Q&A and guidance to achieve personalized tutoring. "Through these data analyses, we can achieve more accurate evaluation of test papers." Teacher Wang said

The "China Smart Education Blue Book (2022)" report released by the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences this year shows that China's smart education infrastructure and equipment environment are basically completed, and the proportion of schools in China with access to the Internet is close to 100%; the digital literacy of primary and secondary school teachers Comprehensive improvement, more than 86% of teachers’ digital literacy has reached qualified level or above.

The promotion of education by science and technology is becoming more and more obvious. The effective application and in-depth integration of new technologies in the field of education have become an important way to explore educational reform. Industry experts said that the in-depth integration of technology and education will be further promoted in the future. On the one hand, it is necessary to use intelligent technology to promote the digitization of educational space, establish a basic digital education environment, break the limitations of time and space, use digital teaching resources to support various educational scenarios such as teaching, learning, examinations, evaluation and management, and change traditional education forms; On the other hand, intelligent technology should be used to promote the digitization of the teaching process and achieve student-centered personalized teaching
