How to Break the Silence in the Online Classroom?An Analysis Based on Borgmann's Philosophy of Technology
Silent learners are common in face-to-face classrooms,and the phenomenon of student silence in online classrooms is particularly prominent.Strategies such as online interactions are implemented in an attempt to break the atmosphere of silence,however,student silence will only become more prevalent if the root causes behind the phenomenon of silence are not uncovered.This study comprehensively examines the nature of student silence in online classrooms from Borgmann's philosophical viewpoint of technology,and takes the human-technology relationship as a starting point to understand how devices mediate the decontextualization of technological information,which in turn affects the learners'bodily perceptions and behavioral styles.Digi-tal-mediated delivery that lacks embodied support inevitably leads to impaired naturalness and fluency of interac-tion,which in turn triggers the phenomenon of silence.In this context,it is suggested to actively carry out the dual optimization of device paradigms,clarify the embodied focus of educational practices,and realize the factual restoration of technological information,so as to provide reference and reflection for breaking the silence of on-line classrooms,enhancing the activeness of online teaching,and promoting the in-depth development of tech-nology for online teaching.
