The Risks of Educational Digital Utopia and its Prevention
While digital technology promotes educational reform and innovation,it also intensifies education subjects'dependence,imagination and worship on digital technology,which to a certain extent induces the emergence of the phenomenon of educational digital utopia.Educational digital utopia is not only an educational reverie based on technological optimism,but also an educational digital impulse caused by the lack of rational critical spirit among educational subjects.It essentially implies the imbalance of the relationship between education and technology.The occurrence of the phenomenon of educational digital utopia will bring many potential risks to education:the risk of digital cults in which the status of educational subjects is alienated;the risk of digital security in which data privacy is leaked and abused;the risk of digital consumption in which digital capital is instigated and promoted;the risk of digital algorithms that are endogenous to smart technologies.Accordingly,we need to reconstruct the relationship between digital and education,establish a mechanism for educational data privacy and security,strengthen the cultivation of digital literacy of educational subjects,optimize the design of educational algorithms based on digital humanities,in order to prevent the emergence of educational digital utopia and its risks,and scientifically promote the digital transformation of education.
