Research on GAI Readiness of Learners in Urban and Rural Education Under the Background of Co-enrichment
How education promotes common prosperity is an important strategic issue in the field of education,the core of which is how to promote the effective coordination of urban and rural education communities through educational technology.At present,the distribution of urban and rural education resources is uneven,and it is urgent to promote education equity and establish accurate and long-term education assistance.Since the end of 2022,the emergence of generative artificial intelligence(GAI)has attracted significant global attention,providing new opportunities for transforming students'learning styles and teachers'teaching patterns,but also posing new challenges to the collaborative learning of students in urban-rural education communities.Therefore,it is of great importance to discuss the preparatory measures for utilizing GAI to facilitate the collaborative learning of urban-rural students,in order to promote the future development of the urban-rural education community in the era of intelligence.This study focuses on 10 primary schools in 7 pairs of urban-rural education communities in Zhejiang Province.Based on Biggs'"3P"learning theory,a factor model of urban-rural learners'GAI readiness is constructed.The results showed that the average score of GAI readiness was higher among students in advantaged schools than those in disadvantaged schools,and higher among girls than boys,as well as higher among senior students compared to younger ones.Empathy and expectation-confirmation were identified as the two most important factors affecting the GAI readiness of learners in urban-rural education communities.Additionally,expectation confirmation,dual-teacher co-teaching quality,and system quality mediated GAI readiness through empathy,self-presentation,or the perceived fairness of teacher-student interactions.This study explored urban-rural learners'GAI readiness and its influencing factors from the perspective of multidimensional mediation.Based on the findings,some suggestions on integrating GAI into the urban-rural education community were put forward from the perspective of practice.
