The'Forgotten Body':An Embodied Dilemma and Humanistic Shift in Online Learning
The widespread application of digital intelligence technology has raised expectations for autonomous,open,and personalized online learning.However,under the obscuration and encroachment of technology,the online learning system gradually exposes the problems of subjectivity bias:lack of interpretation,decreasing initiatives,and weak interactivity,resulting in the original embodied,situational,individualized,and present learners being comprised to a"digital person","abstract person","average person"and"absent person".Essentially,this problem is originated from a lack of awareness of the"cognition-body-technology"relationship and only from an embodied perspective can we gain a complete understanding of online learning.By constructing the"dual-chain mediation model"of online learning,the study points out that the learner's body and technology constitute the chain mediator of online learning,emphasizing that the body is an cognitive medium for learners to embed into the learning environment.The digital intelligence technology is not only the infrastructure for the online learning environment,but also a bridge connecting the body and the environment.This model has both theoretical and practical implications:Theoretically,it can be used as a"touchstone"to test the theory of educational technology,and to overcome the"stubbornness"of educational technology in the practice.It can also be an"overpass"for the construction of pedagogy to inspire artificial intelligence applications in education.From the theoretical perspective of micro-history,and with human-computer synergy as the guidance,and following the practice path of embodied metaphors and rhizome-evolution study envisions the future of online learning with a strong"humanistic-AI"characteristics.
