Topic 1
Create a new ecology of smart campus and help teach students in accordance with their aptitude
In the roundtable forum session, the guests shared their opinions and suggestions on hot topics such as smart campus construction, digital education resource supply, and personalized teaching.
Using digital to assist school administration management
Ren Changshan, director of the Education Informatization and Network Security Division of the Department of Science, Technology and Informatization of the Ministry of Education, pointed out that in recent years, schools at all levels and types have proposed the concept of smart campuses, and the Ministry of Education has also deployed them to promote schools' exploration and experimentation.
According to Cao Peijie, Ph.D. and associate researcher of the Chinese Academy of Education Sciences, a smart campus should be "cloud education + practice field".
"Cloud education" refers to the opening of the classroom, that is, everyone can learn, everywhere, and at any time.
"Practice field" means that schools should focus on practice outside the classroom.
How does the school build a smart campus?
Chen Dong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing Huiwen Middle School, pointed out that the school hopes to realize resource sharing, diagnose and evaluate school management, etc. through the construction of smart campus, and further change the school's classroom teaching.
In this regard, the school has built a resource sharing platform and used the construction of smart campuses to achieve educational administration.
Education digitalization emphasizes "differentiated teaching" and "personalized learning"
How to achieve individualized teaching through digitization?
How to better capture the attention of each student?
Chen Dong said that the platform currently used by Huiwen Middle School has auxiliary functions such as preliminary learning monitoring, teaching order monitoring, and teacher monitoring of student group discussions, helping some children who are not motivated to learn better integrate into the classroom.
In addition, the platform used by the school has the function of leaving traces in the whole process, which can record the teaching activities of teachers and the performance of students in the classroom, which is conducive to teachers' teaching reflection, and teachers can also make targeted arrangements according to the performance of students in the classroom. Homework and offline one-to-one or one-to-many tutoring.
What are the considerations at the government level in teaching students in accordance with their aptitude in the digitalization of education?
Ren Changshan said that the emphasis on differentiated teaching and individualized learning in the digitalization of education means that it is necessary to adapt to the learning foundation and characteristics of different students.
From the government's point of view, it is necessary to enrich the supply and provide high-quality content that is suitable for students and can help them understand, rather than providing a set of completely standardized resources.
Teachers of the future should learn to use technology to read students
At the teacher level, the development of education digitization also poses higher challenges to teachers.
In Cao Peijie's view, teachers still carry out online teaching in the traditional way of "teacher talks and students listen", which is a misunderstanding.
Online teaching should adopt a new organizational method, such as project-based learning.
"In the future, teachers should learn to use technology to understand students, and use big data to understand students' mastery of knowledge, learning characteristics, cognitive characteristics, learning preferences, etc., so as to determine what support students need, and provide personalized learning support accordingly. This achieves teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.”
Ren Changshan pointed out that for the graduates who are going to work as teachers in the future, the Department of Teacher Work of the Ministry of Education has continuously updated the training syllabus and teaching plan for normal students to meet the requirements of the current teaching method change.
"After graduation, they can go directly to the podium, directly to the job position, and adapt to the change of teaching mode under the wave of informatization." Ren Changshan said.
For teachers who are already on the job, they will also help teachers adapt to job requirements through continuous professional ability training.

In addition, truly digital companies and leading companies should be encouraged to integrate into education.
