Will online education subvert traditional schools?

Online education will not subvert traditional schools.

In the face of education, the Internet is not everything.

It is with the help of the Internet that Bai Wen, a junior two student in Taiyuan, recently changed her learning style. In the past weekend, I had to go to remedial classes to make up my English, but now, I watch online courses at home, which is convenient and time-saving.

Now many primary and secondary schools continue to promote online education courses. Zhong Binglin, president of China Education Association, pointed out at the forum: "Under the background of Internet development, the rise of large-scale open online courses, flip classes and micro-courses has reduced the conditions for learners to enjoy high-quality educational resources."

So, can online education really "subvert" traditional education?

"I went to Harvard University to study. Study, take notes and study from 8 am to 9 pm every day. I finished twelve courses in a short time. But after the launch of the same course, I can only calm down and study for half an hour, whether in a large open online course or a flip class. " Yu gave the answer with his own personal experience.

"With the development of video and home theater, why do many people go to the cinema to watch movies? Because watching movies in the cinema is an experience, watching movies is only a part, and the audience can also eat popcorn, which is the biggest attraction of the cinema. " In Yu's view, education and watching movies have a * * * commonality-experience, and this function cannot be realized by online education.

Lack of direct interaction or bottleneck

"When my child is studying abroad, I always chat online to encourage him, but it has little effect. Now, children are studying in China. Whenever he encounters setbacks, I will pat him on the head and hug him, and the problem may be solved. " Yu pointed out that the effect of live experience and communication far exceeds that of network communication.

Zhou, a young college teacher, was deeply touched by this: "I have a wide range of knowledge and listen to online courses such as Netease Open Class and Tsinghua University School Online. When listening to some specialized courses, I usually pause for' digestion' every two minutes. Because of the lack of direct interaction with teachers, there is often a feeling of' cloud mountain fog cover'. "

Zhou believes that online courses belong to "fast food", which comes and goes quickly, while college courses belong to "hot pot", which is eaten slowly, but will be "smoked" with an invisible temperament.

Zhong Binglin emphasized that curriculum teaching is not exactly the same as education. "The ultimate goal of education is to cultivate people with all-round development. Excellent cultural traditions, school spirit and style of study will subtly affect learners' growth and success, and cultivate learners' comprehensive quality, social development, interpersonal relations and public relations.
