Taking AI as the Wing and Moral Education as the Soul, the "Tianli · Smart Education 'AI + Moral Education' Innovation Summit" was successfully held.
Recently, the "Tianli · Smart Education 'AI + Moral Education' Innovation Summit", hosted by Qiming Talent, co-organized by Tianli International, and undertaken by Guangyuan Tianli School, was successfully held in Guangyuan, Sichuan Province. More than 150 private school chairpersons, principals and key education practitioners from across the country gathered, focusing on teaching quality improvement, student growth and school operation transformation through thematic sharing, in-class observation, principal roundtable dialogues and other forms, to jointly explore new practical paths for AI to empower education, teaching and moral education innovation.
Breaking Through the Dilemma: How Can Private Education Survive and Thrive Through Cycles?
The tide of the era surges forward, and smart education is reshaping the industry landscape. When artificial intelligence and the fundamental task of cultivating people with high moral standards are deeply integrated, China's private basic education is standing at a historical juncture of systematic reform.
In the opening address, Luo Shi, Chairman of the Board and President of Tianli International, directly addressed the industry's core question: With the superposition of three challenges including changes in student sources, policy regulation and intensifying competition, private education has bid farewell to the incremental era of scale expansion, and entered an in-depth adjustment period featuring quality improvement, merit selection and survival of the fittest. In today's era of industry iteration and restructuring, how can private schools gain a firm foothold, improve quality and efficiency, and achieve steady long-term development?
"My answer is very clear: to bid farewell to the traditional extensive school operation model, and embrace the future of talent cultivation that adheres to core values while pursuing innovation. For private education to break through the current predicament, the core can be summed up in 12 characters: innovation to break the deadlock, quality as the foundation, and mutual support for common growth." Said President Luo Shi. He pointed out that the more the industry is in the adjustment period, the more we must avoid homogeneous involution. The real moat of private schools has never been tall buildings and large scale, but a set of implementable, replicable and future-oriented talent cultivation paradigms: empowered by AI scientifically, we can solve the industry-wide problem of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude on a large scale"; consolidated by moral education, we can preserve the warmth and fundamental essence of education.
Authoritative Insight: Education is Shifting from "Imparting Knowledge" to "Cultivating Competence"
"In the past, education focused more on knowledge imparting; today, whether it is the college admission evaluation system, university learning or social talent demand, comprehensive competence and sustainable growth ability are increasingly emphasized. Education is steadily shifting from "imparting knowledge" to "cultivating competence".
Xia Chen'an, Global Director Partner of McKinsey and Head of High-Tech Business for Greater China, brought industry insights from the perspective of talent cultivation in his address. He pointed out that there can be standard answers for knowledge, but there is no unified path for growth. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is evolving from an idealized educational concept to a key direction for the upgrading of talent cultivation methods.
However, most of the mainstream solutions in the current market focus on single-point capabilities, and integrated solutions that fully cover all pain points are still scarce. "We believe the answer lies in the deep integration of AI and moral education." Xia Chen'an analyzed that AI excels at solving learning problems, enabling students to learn accurately and master knowledge well; moral education excels at solving growth problems, enabling students to stay motivated in learning and keep learning for a long time. The key to effective implementation lies in three points: rooted in actual teaching scenarios, supported by professional education teams, and verified through real practical processes.
He took the AI smart learning product of Qiming Talent as an example: Based on the real learning situation data of nearly 60 Tianli schools and more than 145,000 students, the product forms a continuous closed loop of "real data input - personalized learning plan for each student - learning, practice, testing and review - data backflow". In the past year, more than 1,000 marginal students participated in the practice, the vast majority of them achieved performance improvement, and more students crossed the key score line for further education. "When technology is truly combined with the laws of education, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude can be implemented and produce tangible results."
Voices from the Frontline: Answers Are Getting Cheaper, While Judgment Ability Is Becoming More Valuable
The macro judgment was put into the daily classroom practice in the sharing of Wang Jingchi, Head of Tencent Education Southwest Region.
In an era where knowledge is easily accessible, what is scarce is no longer answers, but good questions and judgment ability; the focus of education is shifting from "knowledge transmission" to "personal growth". From young teachers and senior teachers using AI to collaborate on polishing courseware, to 9 teachers in rural primary schools developing assessment tools on their own, the practices in frontline schools confirm the same conclusion: the first thing to change is not the equipment, but people. After the door of technology is opened, the schools with weak resources are the ones that benefit the most. Technology changes the efficiency of teaching, while education always focuses on the growth of people.
Sincere Sharing: An Educational Experiment Centered on Trust and Joint Efforts
If the two opening addresses outline the general trend and underlying logic of "AI + Moral Education", the introduction of the "AI + Moral Education" co-construction project allows the participating guests to see the people and humanistic care behind this paradigm.
Faced with the straightforward question "Do you dare to challenge students with poorer basic academic performance?", Guo Jingfang, Vice President of Qiming Talent, volunteered to serve as the head teacher of the first "AI + Moral Education" class. 24 families "shared the cost" with her. "Those children do not refuse to learn, they have not been noticed for far too long." From a night run of teachers and students on the playground, to the rekindled light in the children's eyes, to the practice expanded from 1 school to 32 schools, Guo Jingfang said: "This is not the success of a single project, but a transformation of the talent cultivation paradigm."
Product Implementation: AI Smart Learning Products Bring Personalized Aptitude Teaching to Daily Classrooms
Concepts are followed by products. In the session of explaining the implementation and application of AI smart learning products, the AI smart learning team fully demonstrated how this system is integrated into daily teaching: based on real learning situation data, the system generates dynamically adjusted personalized "one student, one plan" learning plans for each student; the teacher side integrates learning situation diagnosis, resource push and lesson preparation assistance. AI runs through the whole teaching process from classroom to self-study, from practice to assessment. The on-site demonstration allowed guests to intuitively see that technology is not a vague concept, but a learning partner that every teacher and student can use immediately.
Real Scene Witness: Step into the Real Classroom and Witness the New Talent Cultivation Paradigm
In the second half of the summit, guests visited Guangyuan Tianli School, the pioneer school of the "AI + Education" talent cultivation paradigm reform, to experience the real implementation of "AI + Moral Education" in an immersive way.
In the AI smart learning classroom demonstration session, teachers demonstrated on site how to use data to diagnose learning situations and make scientific preparation plans for exams, so as to promote the shift of teaching from "experience-driven" to "data-driven"; in the special sharing session for teachers, students and parents, frontline teachers, students and parent representatives told the real changes brought by the AI smart learning products to children; at the principal roundtable meeting, all school operators freely expressed their views and had candid exchanges around the theme of school operation transformation.
The subsequent signing ceremony pushed the summit to a climax. Qiming Talent reached on-site "AI + Moral Education" co-construction cooperation with multiple schools, jointly opening a new journey of high-quality development of private education.
Take AI as the Wing, Take Moral Education as the Soul
As President Luo Shi said at the end of his address: "Taking AI as the wing, moral education as the soul, quality as the foundation, and mutual support as the momentum, we will go through the transformation juncture together, explore new paths for talent cultivation, jointly build a strong country through education, and welcome the brand new spring of high-quality development of private education!"
The summit has a scheduled end, but the exploration is endless. Qiming Talent is willing to join hands with more education peers, so that the new "AI + Moral Education" talent cultivation paradigm can benefit more schools and more children, and let all good things truly happen in education.
