The Potential and Conditions of Technology for Education in an Evidence-based Educational Perspective:An Analysis based on the Global Education Monitoring Report 2023
With the emergence of a new round of digital technology represented by generative artificial intelligence,whether and how technology can transform education has once again become a common topic of educational reform and development.Systematically exploring the unlimited potential and realization conditions of digital technology to meet the challenges of education is of great practical significance to the digital construction of education in China.First,textual and content analysis methods are used to analyze the potential of technology to address three major challenges of educational equity,quality and efficiency in the Global Education Monitoring Report 2023 released by UNESCO.To promote equity,technology increases access to education and facilitates content creation and sharing;to improve quality,technology aids intervention in the teaching and learning process,optimizes content presentation and enhances interaction;and to enhance efficiency,technology improves the efficiency of learning assessment and regulatory governance.Second,the report analyzes the conditions needed to realize the above potential:in terms of equitable access and sustainable use,including the development of relevant policies to improve equitable access to technology and the collection of evidence of its effectiveness and sustainability;in terms of effective regulation and privacy protection,including the development of regulatory policies for the use of technology in education and the improvement of laws on privacy protection and security in the use of technology;and in terms of the integration of technology into educational practice,including the development of digital literacy standards to develop teachers'digital competencies and the development of technology-based teacher training that takes advantage of the benefits of technology.In terms of effective regulation and privacy protection,this includes conditions for developing digital literacy standards to develop teachers'digital competencies and utilizing the advantages of technology to conduct technology-based teacher training.Finally,guided by the concept of evidence-based education,the implications of technology for education from the perspectives of equity,quality,and efficiency are proposed:optimizing the construction of facilities and the allocation of resources by adhering to evidence-based education,improving the regulatory mechanism of educational technology to create a healthy habitat,and improving the digital literacy of teachers and promoting business reengineering to release the effectiveness.
