Comments ｜ "God's pen" monitoring operation, can not make children "Ma Liang"

Recently, some netizens posted that during the summer vacation, a school posted a smart pen with an exclusive answer sheet. When the writing and what to write, the teacher will receive a notice. As soon as the report came out, many netizens questioned that this was a disguised "monitoring".

I took a closer look at the children who were worried about being "monitored". This product is also known as "Ma Liangbi" in the market. Through the camera next to its pen, it captures special paper notes and can be transmitted in real time for the content of the note. According to the manufacturer's propaganda, after collecting the information of the student in the smart pen, the teacher can track the completion of the students in time, and can complete the correction in the background to improve the efficiency of classroom exercises. The report shows that "Ma Liangbi" is used in many primary and secondary schools across the country.

"Improving the efficiency of classroom learning" is exactly the promotional gimmick of smart pen, and the price of smart paper and pen is not low. Each set is 700 yuan. However, this time the smart pen is free of charge, and the summer vacation will be uniformly recovered after the summer vacation. From this point of view, things are likely to be a promotional trial experience made with the manufacturer to promote their products. Unexpectedly, the experience session "turns", which has caused great controversy on the Internet.

Either intelligent pen or learning machine. At present, the application of new technologies represented by artificial intelligence in education is redefining human knowledge and ability value, so that education connotations are accurate to content, learning autonomy, teaching interaction Development. The integration of science and technology into education has become the general direction of education, accepting some modern tools and technologies, to change education to promote the improvement of education efficiency and improve the quality of education.

However, education is different from any other fields. Education is a activity for trains, and more flexibility, personality and inclusiveness than any other industries. When blindly obsessed with means and pursuing the technical nature of control learning, it often ignores the origin of the value of education management. Parents particularly hope that their children are like a car. They have a switch to study as soon as they press, and then go to college. But where the child wants to go, I don't know. He has no inner GPS and has no motivation to grow, so parents and children are very painful and strenuous. And we all know that good education is to treat children as a person, and then let his inner motivation, let him love himself, love this society, make him full of curiosity, like to explore, and encounter frustration to solve it by himself.

Earlier, through artificial intelligence monitoring students' learning status or implementation of strong management and control, it has repeatedly appeared in hot news, which has caused heated discussions. As Foucault mentioned in the book "Training and Punishment", under the monitoring of omnipotent power, people cannot obtain most freedom, and only when they return to their hearts can they get true freedom. Love freedom is a human nature. Once you have a behavior to limit human freedom, it will inevitably cause a rebound. It is difficult to imagine that a student who has been "monitored" can have a fun of learning independently. It's like it is difficult to believe that a company that needs to be monitored by mobile phones to be monitored at work. Employees can love work from the heart rather than paddling.

Technology entering the field of education will be the general trend, but whether it is parents or school managers, we must be alert to the trap of technology falling into the technology. In the final analysis, let our children become "magic pens and Ma Liang" can only be interest and hard work, and it is definitely not the "Ma Liangbi" who monitor students' homework.
