Yao Yuqian: Speeding up Information Transformation and Realizing Dynamic Balance

  Cctv newsOn December 8th, the 2020 CCTV Education Festival was held in Beijing. With the theme of high-quality development in the new era of "Cloud Ecology and Talking about the Future", the forum focused on the education industry, commended advanced models, discussed new changes in education development, and took a new direction in education development. At the forum, Yao Yuqian, president of Beijing Xinfuxue Foreign Language School, expounded his views on the reform of educational informatization.

  Yao Yuqian said that the education modernization 2035 we are talking about is just the beginning. It mentioned that the education reform in the information age needs to be accelerated, including building an intelligent campus, strengthening the co-construction and sharing of digital information resources, etc. In fact, at this stage, especially in 2020, we have experienced a special year. In fact, the epidemic environment is actually a promotion and impetus for education informatization, which has accelerated the reform of education informatization or the education model under the Internet environment to a certain extent. We also see that many educational products and platforms have emerged in this year’s environment, including many rapid iterations. However, we will also find some problems, the core of which is the lack of high-quality educational resources and content. Because now more tools or platforms are generated, but in the whole educational scene, our demand for content is actually stronger.

  In the specific educational scene, the core users are actually students and teachers. When they choose educational resources or educational content, they will encounter two big difficulties: one is how to generate these contents, and the other is how to filter them. From the perspective of content generation, in fact, it needs a large number of high-quality resources to match the educational needs of the Internet age or the information age. Just like the topic we mentioned today, we need an ecosystem to support it, and there are many mechanisms to guarantee it. For example, Education Modernization 2035 also mentioned that the perfection of intellectual property protection mechanism needs to build a pyramid-like structure to form socialized and large-scale content output. From the school’s point of view, we are also willing to try to be the producer and provider of content, because we believe that we must embrace change and conform to the development characteristics of this era in the process of changes in the whole era. The biggest core of the Internet is openness and sharing, and we also need to keep up with the pace of the times and update our concepts to match the rhythm of this era.

  I like the word "ecology" used in this forum very much, because "ecology" is in the process of dynamic development, and at the same time it will be a dynamic balance. In fact, we also hope to achieve a dynamic balance as much as possible in the educational environment. With the help of the background of educational informationization, education can be more fair, balanced and perfect to a certain extent.
