China News Service reporter Liu Yutao Ding Si
A sudden outbreak has a complex and far-reaching impact on the Chinese. Schools that were unable to start school normally due to the epidemic attempted to carry out "net courses" to relieve the urgent need. Normally unsmiling and serious teachers, faced with complex software functions and bells and whistles live broadcast interface, they are in a hurry and are in a state of trouble.
There are also Chinese parents who are at a loss. The elderly who were looking after their children were “eliminated out” because they would not use the Internet; parents who stayed at home to accompany their children in class were forced to assume the responsibility of the “class teacher”, supervising the class and correcting their homework. Repeatedly complained.
In recent years, the rapid development of the Internet has continuously accelerated education reforms, and the epidemic has prompted the rapid development of "net courses" to grow exponentially. Problems such as immature online education, imperfect infrastructure, and unprepared people in some areas have been amplified in the epidemic.
Wang Yan'e, who lives in Qiaojia Village, Li County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, is a college student at the Technical Engineering College of Lanzhou University of Technology. Every morning at 6 o'clock, Wang Yane will bring learning materials, trek more than an hour on the mountain road, and go to the top of the mountain to find a stable network signal to teach. "But the mountain is deep, the transportation is inconvenient, and the network coverage is insufficient, making online teaching difficult."
Also difficult for village teachers. "Because there is relatively little contact and application for online teaching, many softwares will not be used, and the experience of online class design is inexperienced. When the class is often stuck, the loss of one another will reduce the teaching effect." Wang Rongjing, teacher of Xiguoyuan Central School, Qilihe District, Lanzhou Say.
In recent years, officials have successively issued a series of policies to promote the development of education informatization in China. The scale of netizens has steadily expanded and the number of domestic online education products has grown rapidly, providing room for the rapid growth of the number of online education users. The education methods are innovative through the Internet, giving users a differentiated experience and attracting more users to participate.
"Over the course of more than one month of online courses, the effect of online teaching is not worse than that of offline." Yang Tongjun, deputy dean of the School of International Cultural Exchange of Northwest Normal University, said that for college students, they are familiar with the Internet, fluent in operation, and save time on the road. Students have more time to devote to their studies, online learning resources and channels are abundant, and the quality of students' homework is also higher.
Yang Tongjun analyzed that in the past, students were encouraged to use online resources, but the students' initiative was not strong, and they were only satisfied with the teacher's classroom explanations. At present, online has become the only channel for learning, forcing students to take the initiative to collect data for research, but it has stimulated students' initiative and innovation.
During the epidemic, in remote areas located deep in the mountains and deep valleys and reduced to an "isolated island" in the Internet world, some places have opened temporary base stations in a short time to ensure smooth online teaching.
Wu Heping, Dean of the School of International Cultural Exchange of Northwest Normal University, said that although China's "net class" road is full of thorns, from multiple perspectives, the coexistence and complementarity of online education and offline education will be a trend of future education. All sectors of the society are also actively exploring and exerting their power to help China's online education grow.
"This epidemic has forced education to be networked and digitized, accelerating China's education reform." Wu Heping said that online teaching on the surface of the epidemic may seem to be an expedient measure, but it may become the norm in a considerable period of time. The more young people are accustomed to obtaining resource information from the Internet, the future spread of international education Chinese language may increasingly rely on the Internet. (Finish)
