    2023, 41 (7):  36-46.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.07.004
    Abstract ( 903 )   HTML ( 57 )   PDF (719KB) ( 1636 )   Save

    The application of digital technology to educational governance is a strategic choice to cope with the changes of the times and society. Educational governance in the digital era has two meanings. One is “digital-based educational governance”, the other is “governance of digitalization in education”. The former inspires us to make full use of the governance dynamics of ChatGPT; the latter inspires us to strengthen the risk governance of ChatGPT. Along this line of thought, we can find that the introduction of ChatGPT, a new generation of artificial intelligence technology, has ushered in a major opportunity for the education governance system to be perfected and the education governance capacity to be effectively improved. However, the current ChatGPT is not perfect, and the tension between the existing education governance system and ChatGPT has not yet been dissolved, resulting in its potential application in education governance not being fully released. In view of the potential of ChatGPT, education governance in the digital era is increasingly moving towards scientific, efficient, democratic, rule of law and intelligent development. We should start from improving the governance system of “one core, multiple governance”, improving education governance capacity, building a proactive education governance framework, and jointly building a global education governance system, so as to prevent the risks of ChatGPT application while leveraging its momentum to help modernize education governance and promote the modernization of Chinese education with the modernization of education governance.

    Zhengtao Li
    2023, 41 (7):  47-55.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.07.005
    Abstract ( 862 )   HTML ( 81 )   PDF (630KB) ( 1204 )   Save

    The relationship between ChatGPT and basic education poses a dual challenge: the challenge ChatGPT presents to basic education, and the challenge basic education presents to ChatGPT. Regarding the challenge that ChatGPT poses to basic education, it brings about a subversive and systemic change to the “basic” of basic education, which is both basic and systemic. As for the challenge that basic education presents to ChatGPT, it requires a reverse thinking process to answer three fundamental questions. Firstly, ChatGPT has changed everything about basic education, but can basic education change ChatGPT? How can ChatGPT be changed? Secondly, what kind of technological changes and ChatGPT can meet the needs of basic education and conform to the laws of basic education? Thirdly, can basic education reform change and even subvert the technological changes represented by ChatGPT? The most fundamental way of subversion is to “legislate” the use of ChatGPT in basic education, establish laws for education, including educational values and educational thinking.

    As the latest breakthrough in artificial intelligence, ChatGPT has attracted widespread attention and discussion in the field of education since its release, requiring an analysis and exploration of its impact on teachers’ work from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Drawing upon the theoretical ideas of Biesta’s “weakness of education” and Dewey’s “philosophy of communicative action”, this paper deeply considers the essence of the integration between ChatGPT and education. According to different ways of thinking about “strong education” and “weak education”, teachers and schools have different degrees of replaceability. Teachers should pay attention to the value orientation of education, grasp the essence of education, seize the opportunities brought by ChatGPT in personalized learning, teacher workload, and teacher self-growth, and actively respond to the challenges brought by ChatGPT in learning objectives, teaching processes and design, and evaluation methods. Starting from the fundamental task of education and “competency-based suyang” education, and focusing on the digital information literacy of educators, this paper proposes new requirements for the structure of teachers’ competency in the new era: the ability to lide shuren (cultivate moral character and educate students), professional ethics in the digital age, the ability to integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, and the ability to update the curriculum, learning, teaching, and evaluation.
