"In general, a" one screen "can change the fate of rural children, but it depends on how we are deployed." Yu Minhong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Standing Committee of the Democratic League Central Committee, and chairman of the New Oriental Education Technology Group, accepted an interview with a reporter from China News Service. Make optimistic comments on the topic of "Live Online Network Courses in Key Middle Schools in Poverty-Stricken Middle Schools", which has caused heated discussion.
During the epidemic, the popularity and popularity of "online learning" was further increased due to the people's widespread home. How to view the significance of this new learning method? Yu Minhong shared his views.
He believes that online learning as a whole "must help education equity." The "one screen" between urban and rural schools allows children in rural and mountainous areas to access higher-quality educational resources and richer information in a very convenient way.
But Yu Minhong also pointed out that for online courses to really produce results, they also need to meet the actual needs of rural youth. When doing this kind of live broadcast class, you should first conduct a level test on the children in the teaching area, and conduct real-time question and answer interactions during the class, "This way the children will progress and grow quickly."
Yu Minhong is therefore hopeful of the effect of "one screen". At the two sessions this year, he also brought forward proposals to develop a "dual-teacher live classroom" between urban and rural areas and to improve the quality of English education in western rural primary schools.
However, the significance of online learning goes beyond promoting educational equity. With the enrichment of online learning resources, many adults also begin to learn practical skills such as photography and image editing online, and watch college professor courses. Yu Minhong said that in terms of promoting "lifelong learning", online learning has "a lot of merit."
He said that after people leave the campus, they spend most of their time at work, and few people can stop working and spend a few years out of school. However, the current speed of knowledge change and replacement is very fast. If adults do not update their knowledge systems, they will gradually become outdated and lose their competitiveness.
You have to study and work, what should you do? Yu Minhong believes that online learning solves this problem. With the help of online learning resources, you can use the fragmented time of commuting, eating, and going to bed to study, and the courses of famous teachers and famous teachers have also become within reach. "You can also play at double speed, which saves time." Yu Minhong said with a smile.
Regarding the problems of many platforms and uneven content in the current online courses, Yu Minhong said that although he prefers to polish the course system according to the characteristics of online teaching and then upload the network, he is also open to videos that share skills at will. .
He believes that there is no need to make a single, strict audit standard. Over time, artificial intelligence or big data can self-elevate excellent courses based on user evaluation. "In this way, there will be both" a hundred flowers blooming together ", and there will be" a unique show. "
For example, Yu Minhong, economics scholar Xue Zhaofeng ’s economics network class, has hundreds of thousands of people paid to watch learning. In the past, it was difficult to imagine that a university student ’s classroom could benefit hundreds of thousands of people. "I think this is the progress of the times. The future online education should be more open and more popular, which is the biggest benefit." (End)
