Beijing, 14 Sep (Xinhuanet) -- While the rapid development of information technology has added vitality and vitality to education, it has also changed the traditional education model to a certain extent and objectively promoted the adjustment and progress of teaching methods. On the 12th, at the "First Informatization and Basic Education Curriculum Reform Summit" hosted by Xinhua Net, Wei Yu, former vice minister of the Ministry of Education and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, elaborated his views on "how to promote the deep integration of information technology and basic education reform". In the face of the further deep integration of information technology and education, she hopes that "no matter how technology develops and how hot the capital market is, we must always adhere to education as the body and the Internet as the use." Don't forget your original intention. We must persist in proceeding from the core of education, make rational use of the Internet, and rationally use the power of capital. ”

Wei Yu said, "The situation of deep integration of information technology and teaching reform is an opportunity that we have been pursuing for many years. At the same time, she also stressed again: "The quality of online education products itself is always the object that online educational institutions need to pay more attention to and exert efforts." In the future of online education, information technology should be deeply integrated with teaching reform. ”

In her speech, Wei Yu cited a series of data that strongly proved that the increasingly deep integration of information technology and education reform is and will change people's lives, but she believes that education is the most difficult field to be automated, but "the challenges encountered in education are huge."

"In human intelligence, the most important thing is decision-making intelligence, and education in cultivating human ability mainly revolves around the goal of cultivating informed decision-makers, especially intuitive decision-making ability based on scientific concepts and models." Wei Yu believes that with the deep integration of information technology and education, the huge challenge facing education mainly lies in "the goal, process and way of cultivating people will undergo great changes."

In the composition of the social productive forces, human resources are an important factor, in agricultural societies, the contribution of human labor is very important, and in industrial societies, the tools invented by man and the skills of man in the use of tools are even more important. Wei Yu said, "In today's and future society, the most important thing is human intelligence, as well as the intelligence that people and machines together constitute, interact and complement. Wei Yu believes that human intelligence is the most important factor among the factors of future economic development.

At the end of the speech, Wei Yu said that at present, we are facing the valuable development opportunities of China's education reform and education information technology, and any education reform launched in the field of education needs to first carry out teacher training, and it is necessary to popularize relevant knowledge to parents to form a social consensus. "Education informatization can play a very good role in this regard."
