Reaffirming the Conservative Nature of Education in the Age of Technological Explosion
The word"conservatism"has different meanings in people's daily expressions and in academic research.In academic research,conservatism,as a way of thinking,is deeply wary of rational planning,especially social revolutions and major inventions based on the theories of the minority,and prefers to believe in systems,customs and beliefs based on people's life experience and natural evolution.Conservatism is directed against radicalism,and its ideological basis lies in the imperfections and limitations of human rationality.The current era can be said to be the age of technological explosion,the reason why people invent a new technology is simply"because they have the ability to invent the technology".Driven by the desire for something new,tech-nological personnel have a weak sense of prudence,and there are more and more products beyond the cogni-tive field of the times,making the risks of technology unprecedented.Educational research and practice are also hostage to the technology explosion,always reveling in the birth of every new technology,always thinking uni-laterally about the impact of technology on education,without considering the role of education in neutralizing,preventing,and guiding the technology explosion.Therefore,in the era of technological explosion,it is neces-sary to reaffirming the conservative nature of education.
