I. How far into the future?
"Change" characterizes the future. "Proactive welcome, active intervention" is the future of our requirements. Instead of asking how far the future is, we should pay attention to every small trend change in the future.
"The future is always coming, it comes without invitation; the future is coming, there is a future now; a bright future, action to do!"
Second, schools will be replaced by learning centers in the future, and who are the learning centers?
There are both primary and secondary schools, as well as universities; both basic education, as well as pre-school education, vocational education, and higher education; both school education, as well as family education, social education, lifelong education, education from cradle to grave. But universities may take the lead in the metamorphosis.
Learning centers can be in the community, or on the university campus, or they may be virtual cyberspace, or they may be a hybrid school combining online learning and traditional learning.
Third, what will the school center of the future look like?
In fact, it is a learning **** same body, is a "five no" product.
1) No classrooms, every room has to be booked.
There is no class, grade, classroom and other concepts, there is no fixed schedule, not to mention the "principal's office" such as institutions, the operation of the "teacher-guided, student-managed learning **** the same body" themselves. It's like a new network of teachers today.
2) There is no unified textbook.
The traditional teaching of a textbook to go all over the world, understand the textbook test is not afraid. This is far from enough for creative exploration .
Learning centers in order to achieve the basic standards and evaluation through the examination, more learning better, more interesting, more challenging, there should be different levels, different personalities, different challenges level of teaching materials. Of course, students are also allowed to choose the material that suits them.
3) There are no summer or winter vacations, no commuting time.
Study time is more flexible. There are no weekends, no summer or winter vacations, and students can arrange their study time according to their own needs. Classes can be 45 minutes, or 40 minutes, or even 10-15 minutes. You can study a subject for the whole half day, or you can study several subjects, provided that the students voluntarily, this is the humanization of thinking.
45 minutes of the traditional classroom, due to the different foundations of the students, different learning backgrounds, 1/3 of the people do not understand, 1/3 of the people have long understood, they are in fact accompanied by the rest of the class, which is not humanized.
4) There is no school system, you can enroll at the age of 8 or 80, which is more personalized and flexible.
In the future, the school learning cycle will be elasticized. You can have nine years of compulsory education, or ten years of compulsory education; you can go to school at the age of six, or at the age of eight; you can go to class at eight, or at nine; the elderly and children can learn in the same classroom. Before the unknown, everyone is equal, and mixed age has become an important learning feature, a common phenomenon, not a rare sight.
Uniformity is all about the neat and tidy management practices of the great industrial age. Learning at any time is fine, and all learning records can be kept in credit banks and different data centers.
5) There are no teachers in the traditional sense of the word, and those who can do it are the first to do it.
Teachers are more diverse and open, guides and companions for independent learning. The smartest person in the room is not the teacher in front of the podium, but the wisdom of all people combined. Teachers can be self-employed, or teachers within the system to transfer, but also have their own teaching studio or curriculum company for the school to provide curriculum services, can also be the community has a "masterpiece" for the school to provide special resources. As the current "Nanming Education".
Fourth, the future school, who will learn?
1) Teach without class
Who wants to learn, who is the student, this is the highest state of Confucius teach without class.
"It is extremely wrong and very arbitrary to put all the games and learning into childhood, all the work stuffed into middle age, and all the regrets left for old age."
The school of the future, where the capable are the teachers and the scholars are the students.
2) Mixed-age learning
"Segmenting people according to age is a very cold and inhuman thing to do. It is the same with children; it breaks the links between lives and prevents people from learning from each other." -Montessori
Mixing ages can help each other and complement each other's strengths. For example, college students after the resumption of college entrance exams include both 20-year-olds and 40-year-old parents of children. Again, the United States, Mr. and Mrs. Sandefur mixed-age school.
Children and teenagers to learn, parents can also come to learn at the same time, the elderly can also come to learn, three generations in the same classroom to learn, *** read, *** write, *** life becomes possible; different communities, different cities of students can come to learn; learning? Center, underage students are not necessarily the mainstream, but also to meet the learning needs of people of all ages.
V. Learning Center, who to teach?
Those who can are teachers, who can teach who teach.
1, intelligent robots become the wind, but will not replace the role of teachers. Because it does not have the core functions of teachers: the emotional communication between people, that is, the human touch and interactivity. However, the future of education will enter a new era of "human-machine *** teaching". Teachers are required to do two things: learn to do things that robots can not do; learn to deal with robots ****, so that robots for my use.
2, future teachers will become freelancers. Personalization of education, differentiation, customization of the growth of demand, completely from the teacher to obtain knowledge and skills of the end of the era, "the ability of the teacher" era is coming. "Logical thinking, Himalaya, Zhihu" are all free teachers to provide paid courses.
3, the teacher's professional skills of teaching, imparting knowledge, checking homework and other functions will become the guidance and accompaniment of student learning; both coaching and coaching, and students grow together. Focus on communication, focus on helping learning to solve problems, and focus on the intrinsic needs of student growth.
Traditional teachers are responsible for the "bottom line", implementing the national will; New Oriental and other social education institutions are responsible for providing higher quality teacher resources.
Anyone who has learned something can pass on their knowledge and skills to students through schools, educational institutions, and other platforms.
VI. Learning Center, what to learn?
Based on the Life Curriculum, the Intellectual Education Program, Civic Education Program, and Arts Education Program are the mainstays of the Learning Center, supplemented by the "Special Programs" as necessary.
1. In the future, learning will change from learning for the sake of a diploma to learning for the sake of improving one's interest and enhancing one's ability.
The richness of the curriculum determines the richness of life, and the excellence of the curriculum determines the excellence of life. Strictly speaking, the curriculum should not be limited to the scope of school education, but an all-round, whole-process system with family education as the root, school education as the backbone, social education as the auxiliary, and self-education as the fundamental. The root of the curriculum is the life experience of both teachers and students, and it is the important energy that empowers teachers and students to grow in life. Curriculum as the energy of life growth, through the superposition of inside and outside the classroom, school and family collision, in various forms of interactive homework, from quantitative to qualitative changes, and ultimately the knowledge and social life, teachers and students to reach the life of the **** Ming and formed.
2, life course curriculum, the landing point in the "expansion of the length, width and height of life", so that everyone becomes the best of themselves. (The length of life, the width of knowledge, the height of spiritual life)
The intellectual education program is based on "truth". It integrates the humanities of literature, philosophy, history and geography, and the sciences of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology to reconstruct the intellectual classroom. The purpose of the curriculum is not to impart knowledge, but to develop wisdom and the ability to utilize knowledge. The method of learning is "project-based learning and thematic learning".
The civic education program focuses on "goodness". The goal is to cultivate citizens who abide by social ethics, recognize, understand, abide by, and uphold the Constitution of our country, care about and participate in public affairs, have the ability to think independently and take responsibility, and have a sense of belonging to the traditions and culture of the nation.
The art education program focuses on "beauty". The curriculum is integrated with the concept of art.
These courses should not be more than 50% of the student's learning content, so that the student has time to learn his or her own "specialty courses" with ease. Address the issue of individuality.
3, learning content personalization, student goals, aspirations and potential is the starting point for schools and teachers; learn what, students say, according to their own speed and rhythm of learning, with the internal motivation to learn and the master consciousness; learning center not so much "wall", open the barriers of the discipline, discipline integration, and the importance of practice; learning content customization. The learning center does not have so many "walls", breaks down the barriers of disciplines, integrates disciplines, emphasizes practice, and customizes learning content.
Seven, learning center, how to learn?
The combination of online and offline, individual and team, space and time is broken.
1. Student-centered, not knowledge-centered.
Institutional management of the student-centered, dare to personal affairs to the students independent management;
The school of the big event is also student management, each student has the right to vote, from learning to personnel and then to the financial management can be managed by the students, the students can vote on the retention or dismissal of a teacher. (The fact that the school field day is hosted by students is also a reflection of the student-centered approach)
The student-centered approach is also reflected in the school system. Students are encouraged to do what they want to do, and can take math in fifth grade or again in high school. The student knows what is most important to him or her.
2. Academic ability is important, education is not
Education represents the past, and academic ability means the future. By 2030, personal ability will be greatly respected, and school diplomas will be challenged by professional certification. Without learning, there can be no real creation, and without abundant learning power, there can be no vigorous creativity.
3, personalized learning by learning to teach
The specific situation of students to determine the starting point of teaching, methods and strategies.
The "learning situation" includes the knowledge and ability base of students, the cognitive level of students' years, the degree of students' pre-course preparation, the emotional state of students' new knowledge, and other basic conditions of the learning body. It can be databased with the help of artificial intelligence.
"Fixed teaching" refers to determine the starting point of teaching is not too low or too high, in the appropriate starting point to choose the most appropriate teaching content, optimal teaching methods, so that each student to achieve the maximum possible development.
Changing the problem of large classes, changing the problem of a unified curriculum, changing the problem of a unified difficulty, changing the problem of a unified progress
4, the future of the school, breaking the traditional classroom lecture system and the traditional classroom mode of teaching, the formation of a combination of on-line and off-line, the combination of collective teaching and group learning, active learning and cognitive outsourcing of the combination of a new way of learning.
Advantages:
1) Ubiquitous learning that breaks through the limitations of time and space.
Ubiquitous learning refers to learning that takes place all the time, everywhere, and is a way of learning in which anyone can access any information they need, anywhere, at any time, and in any way. It is also called seamless learning, pervasive learning and ubiquitous learning.
2) Learning time elasticity and learning space diversification.
Time elasticity means that there is no fixed time for going to school and getting out of school, for attending classes and getting out of classes, different learning centers can arrange their time freely, and learners can also make appointments for study guidance or experiments and exchanges.
Diversification of learning space means that it is not necessary to go to a fixed classroom to study, you can go to the school or community library to study, to the science and technology museums, museums, to the various characteristics of the learning center to study, you can also use the Internet education resources to learn.
3) Learning gamification
"Play is a sign of the completeness and unity of the child's mental attitude"-Dewey
Play is the nature of the child, the nature of mankind. Play is a living force in the future of learning. Freedom and creativity are the most important features of the spirit of play, and the courage to challenge is also an essential characteristic of the spirit of play. Awareness of rules is also indispensable to the spirit of play; games can help reading; games can help learning. Learning through play is a popular term in international education.
4) Use virtual reality technology to realize immersive learning.
Virtual reality technology, which refers to the use of computer simulation to generate a three-dimensional virtual world, providing users with simulations about the visual, auditory, tactile, and other senses, so that the user, as if he or she were in the realm of the real world, can observe the affairs of the three-dimensional space in a timely manner and without limitations.
5) Project-Based Learning
PBL: Project-Based -Learning.
As opposed to problem-based learning. Not divided into mathematics, physics and chemistry these subjects, but by the teacher to drive students to find real, meaningful, coherent project in the problem, so that students around the project, in-depth understanding of the relevant knowledge, involves mathematical problems, with mathematical knowledge to solve, involves chemistry, with chemical knowledge to solve.
6) Collaborative inquiry-based learning replaces receptive learning.
Project-based learning is realized through cooperative inquiry-based learning.
Inquiry learning, is a research problem, problem-solving oriented learning method. It is a revolutionary change in the way students learn. Students through a variety of facts to discover the concepts and laws of the way; whether to find the problem, effective for the problem of carrying out inquiry activities; whether through assumptions, reasoning, analysis, to find solutions to the problem; and then through observation, experiments to collect the facts, whether to obtain more information for induction, comparison, statistical analysis, the formation of the problem of the explanation; whether to effectively explore the discovery of new problems, the problem of a more in-depth study.
It is the trend of modern teaching reform, more in line with the law of scientific discovery and scientific creation, can play the learner's own learning initiative, enthusiasm, and stimulate the learner's interest in learning.
7) Cognitive outsourcing, methodological learning
Blended learning and cooperative learning will become the main learning mode of the future learning center.
Blended learning means that in the future the main body of learning is a human-computer combination. With the help of the external brain, with the help of artificial intelligence, with the help of big data, with the help of computer technology, so the phenomenon of cognitive outsourcing is a very important feature. That is to say that access to information, organization and generalization can be entrusted to machines.
Cooperative learning is also an important feature of the future of learning, that is, based on the process of project-based, thematic learning, but also teamwork *** with the process of completing learning tasks.
8) Instructing students through the Internet
In the Internet model, learning is no longer about presenting, receiving, evaluating, and giving feedback, but a whole new cognitive process. Curriculum and teaching need to pay more attention to progress design, user experience, social participation and so on.
It will become an important feature of the future of learning.
9) Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Precision Learning
Big Data is not only about the quantity of data, but more importantly, it refers to the deep mining and analysis of large-scale data with interlocking dimensions, multiple sources, and multiple types, to seek the logical relationship behind the data, and to make people move away from the previous speculation or emotional preference of relying on a small sample of data, and towards decision-making based on rational evidence.
With the help of large-scale data mining and analytics, we are able to make decisions based on evidence.
By collecting, processing, and analyzing big data, we can help students discover and develop their own learning potential and improve their academic performance. The new technology will allow students to take ownership of their learning, plan their own learning programs, decide on their own personalized learning content, paths and methods, monitor their own learning progress at any time, and check their own learning outcomes, so that teachers can fully grasp their students' learning behaviors and outcomes based on the big data and target their own teaching. (My class is now using a small class punch card can be summarized student learning status, the county final test with the final test "seven-day network" can be analyzed at a glance, very detailed, so the big data and artificial intelligence is the essential basic skills of the teacher)
10) students from the knowledge consumer into the Innovators of knowledge
Research-based learning will become the main way of learning. In the future, the process of learning will itself be a process of exploration. Students will not only be able to verify the knowledge they have already discovered, but also create new knowledge in the learning process.
Research-based learning will become a very important way of learning in the future.
VIII. Learning center, how to evaluate?
The future of the school to establish a credit bank system, to establish credit accounts for each student, in order to evaluate the results of learning. Not to "only points from" a single standard.
Educational evaluation is an important part of school and social education and means, with detection, diagnosis, screening, prediction, orientation and other functions.
The problem of the current evaluation system is that school education highlights the "test-oriented", "selective" standard test, selection test "lifelong.
The credit bank is a unit for measuring learning outcomes, and it establishes a circulation tool by assigning different credits to various learning outcomes, so that the storage and exchange of credits makes it possible to convert different learning outcomes into equivalent values. The organizational structure of the bank is simulated, from "central bank" to "local bank" to "all levels of savings offices" and finally to "personal account". "The organization of the bank is not a matter of the individual's personal account.
The credit bank crosses five major divides: the divide between the stages of education; the divide between academic and non-academic education; the divide between public and private education; the divide between domestic and foreign education; and the divide between knowledge learning and capacity building.
Xueyin Online has established a lifelong learning file for each student. It can guarantee the smooth running of online learning, conduct learning certification evaluation, and realize credit exchange and certificate issuance. Reward mechanisms can be established.
Nine, learning center, what can parents do?
Parents are the future of the learning center is the discoverer, is the creator, is the manager, is the participant, is the educator, is the learner.
The future of learning is not only between teachers and students, but also has a close relationship with every family and parent. Learning is not only a unilateral task for children, but also an important feature of future learning centers, where parents and children grow together.
The family is the true center of learning. In the future, there will be a variety of forms of home-based schools, children learning at home will become a landscape of education.
Family education was once the "center" of human learning. After the modern education system, parents went out of the home to participate in social life and "faded" from the stage of education; the king returned: the family became the "center of learning" again. Learning center". The affirmative action movement in education in the West has brought attention to "home-school cooperation".
1) Minors do not have the ability to explore their own strengths and identify the characteristics of learning centers, and parental advice plays a big role; when parents return to education completely, many families may become a new type of learning centers, and different families can help each other's children to learn through the call of educational resources; the organizer of learning centers is a pluralistic subject, which requires democratization of the management, and parental deep participation, and can be formed into a home-school cooperation. deep involvement, can form a home-school cooperation committee; parents can be the board directors who can really vote; can participate in the management of the learning center and supervise the work of the learning center.
2) Participation is also a form of management, parent volunteers are both a way to participate in the management of the learning center and an important form of *** enjoying home education resources; the new parent classroom invites parent givers to become one of the most important forms of influencing family resources. Can be integrated with subjects, can be integrated with specialties, can be integrated with reading, and can become a source of resources for the school to enrich the characteristics of the curriculum.
3) Growth is not a phase, nor is it just a task to be accomplished in school. Growth is a habit, an ability. The most beautiful gesture of a person's life is when life goes on and growth does not stop. Growing up is the same thing that parents and children ****, the same problem that children and parents must face ****. Therefore, family education, school education and community education are not simply for children, but also for the self-education of parents, teachers and community members. The growth process of parents and children is entirely interactive. The growth of parents will drive the growth of children, and the growth of children will also promote the growth of parents. Good parents are more likely to raise better children. In turn, learning how to scientifically raise children's protocols pushes parents to become better themselves.
4) There is also a ****work effect of growth, there is a growth field of life. Parents and children's reading together, exercise and fitness together, excursions into nature together, visit museums together, not only can broaden the child's horizons, enhance physical fitness, they will also be full of harvest.
"The child is the father of the adult" - Montessori
Parents' learning should have a child's perspective. The greatness of a true child lies in seeing the world with eyes that have not suffered from pollution, and in thinking about the world with a brain that is free of any utilitarianism. Children can be the new lens of observation provided by adults.
5) Children are the learners of the future learning center also means that parents should learn from each other.
Learning center parents are people of the same size, a voluntary choice, a choice with a deep need for identification, the most natural and best learning partners, and learning becomes a selfless and noble act.
Parents are learners in the learning center, which also refers to the lifelong learning of parents in the learning center.
Education is not simply about educating children, it is also about parental self-education. Growing up is not only a child's business, but also a parent's business. Without parental learning, there can never be a child's growth. Parents learn well, the child every day up. Parents become learners, and children grow together, is the most beautiful scenery of education, is the best life posture of parents, is the most significant feature of the future learning center.
X. Why must the future learning center be like this?
1. School is no longer the only place for education.
In ancient times, education was carried out in social practice; the modern school system is a product of the Industrial Revolution, and the school has become the main channel of education; the affirmative action movement in the West, which is based on equality of educational opportunities, mentions that the connection between home, school, and society determines children's academic achievements; the "theory of overlapping influences" mentions that the partnership between home, school, and society has a significant impact on children's education and development; and that the partnership between home, school, and society has a significant impact on children's education and development. The "theory of overlapping influence" mentions that the partnership between home, school and community has an overlapping influence on children's education and development. The school is not only the organization of educational activities, but also the cultural center and civilization engine of the community; the family is not only the social unit of kinship relationship, but also the children's after-school school and parent-children's paradise; the community is not only the ****same unit of the regional life, but also the children's second classroom and practice base.
In the future, the role of family and community in education will become more and more important.
2, learning to return to life
Education itself is life, education is a way of life, a way of action. "Education is a process of life, not a preparation for future life, and schools must present life as it is now - that is, as it is real and vibrant for children. A life like that which they experience in their families, in their neighborhoods, on the playing field. Not through the various forms of life, which are always poor substitutes for true reality, results in the formation of a dull and dead city" - Dewey. Education is a "simplified" and "condensed" version of social life.
The future of the center, learning life to return to life, need to work in the following two aspects: one is to point to a happy life, and the other is to point to a complete life.
3, knowledge-centered will become student-centered
Suitable education is the best education. In a certain sense, education is not simply to adapt to the outside world, but for the enrichment of their own hearts.
The future changes in education, the center of gravity to change to student-centered, student learning as the center of learning activities are centered around students. Centered on student learning, it needs to be de-standardized, must be personalized, customized.
Personalization, customization is the main form of learning in the future, customize their own learning plans, determine the pace of learning, custom learning content. The rise of learning science echoes the trend of society and education from focusing on "teaching" to "learning".
This quote from Mr. Zhu Yongxin is even more philosophical: the future is not where we are going, but where we are creating. Direction is more important than effort. By recognizing the direction of future education and the direction of future schools, we can create better education and better learning centers.
