Research On The Impact Of Digital Technology On The Communication Of Knowledge In International Chinese Language Education

The world today is in a major transformation that has not been seen in a century,and digital technology,as a fundamental element and revolutionary force,is profoundly changing the mode,pattern,and ecology of knowledge communication.Education is the main field of knowledge communication,and the embedding and integration of digital technology in educational knowledge communication has a constructive effect on the new era education system.It has a comprehensive impact on the layout of education space,education environment,industrial development,media application,resource construction,teaching mode,knowledge perception,and subject relationship.In the field of international Chinese language education,the international community’s demand for knowledge of Chinese language and culture is increasing.Empowering the construction of a intelligent international Chinese language education ecosystem with digital technology has become an effective way to promote the international communication of Chinese language and culture.The international Chinese language education has gone through more than 70 years of development,from "Teaching Chinese as a foreign language" to "Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages" and then to "international Chinese Language education",from"the initial stage of online education" "the extension stage of technology platform" to "the popularization stage of digital resource" and then to "the stage of digital development and intelligent transformation".Its unchanged core is the communication of Chinese language and cultural knowledge as the main task.In the new era of integrating digital technology into education,the communication of international Chinese language education knowledge has entered a new era of development where opportunities and challenges coexist.The crossborder,cross regional,and cross-cultural characteristics of international Chinese language education inevitably make it a development trend to integrate with the value of digital technology.The characteristics of digital technology have "un-concealeded" the spatial scene,subject scope,and perception form of the knowledge communication of international Chinese language education.Digital technology has become an indispensable infrastructure for the knowledge communication of international Chinese language education.In an environment where people and technology coexist,digital technology endows the subjects of knowledge communication with the form of "technological embodiment".Through the interaction between digital media and the body,knowledge communication activities such as knowledge acquisition,knowledge production,and knowledge diffusion have become a normalized embodiment of practice.Technological embodiment provides a new entry point for focusing on the logic of knowledge communication and reflecting on traditional educational concepts.From this perspective,exploring the impact of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese language education is of great value for improving the effectiveness of knowledge communication in Chinese language and cultural education,promoting the high-quality development of international Chinese language education,as well as its digitalization and intelligence.This paper focuses on the main issue of how digital technology affects the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education.Based on the Knowledge Communication theory,Embodied theory and Media Ecology theory,this paper comprehensively uses Grounded theory,in-depth interviews,questionnaires and statistical analysis to try to answer the following questions:First,based on the perspective of technological embodiment,this paper analyzes the logical reasons for the impact of digital technology on knowledge communication.Secondly,review and analyze the technological evolution,digital reality,and the space and form of embodied practice in the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education.Thirdly,explore and test the impact mechanism of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education through empirical methods.Fourthly,in the face of the practical problems and adverse reactions caused by the integration of digital technology and international Chinese language education knowledge communication,we should explore reasonable and effective solutions and optimization paths from a personal perspective.The specific contents of this paper are as follows:Chapter 1 mainly describes the reason for the research question of the impact of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese language education.Introduces its theoretical significance and practical value,defines the connotation of digital technology,technological embodiment,knowledge communication and other related core concepts.This chapter takes knowledge communication theory,embodied theory and media ecology as the theoretical basis to sort out and comment on the Chinese and foreign literature related to the subject of this study.And on this basis,determine the core issues,logical framework,and research methods of this study.Chapter 2 is based on the interactive relationship between technology and the body,exploring the logical basis for the impact of digital technology on knowledge communication from three aspects,including practical basis,theoretical basis,and historical interpretation.The revolutionary impact of digital technology on knowledge communication is a real phenomenon,and the integration of digital technology into education has become a necessary choice.Digital technology and people are constantly forming a closer and tangible relationship.Throughout the history of media technology development,the interactive relationship between media technology,physical practice,and knowledge communication continues to evolve.As a knowledge communication environment,media technology has always influenced and shaped human body perception and form,and the interaction between technology and body drives the process of knowledge communication.This chapter examines the history of knowledge communication from the perspective of media environment,and proposes the practical logic of knowledge communication centered on technology embodiment,that is,the embodied practice of technology body knowledge communication.Education,as the main field of knowledge communication,the impact of media technology on educational knowledge communication is also a dynamic process related to the interaction between technology and the body.On the basis of analyzing the media environment of educational knowledge communication,this paper discusses the body orientation and technology negotiation of educational knowledge communication,as well as the relationship between embodied teaching environment and body presentation,analyzes the representation and perception mechanism of digital technology embodied educational knowledge communication environment,and finally outlines the dynamic process of educational knowledge communication with "digital technological embodiment" interaction as the core.Chapter 3 provides an overview of the technological evolution,digital reality,and embodied practice of international Chinese education knowledge communication from the perspective of technological embodiment.As a sub field of education,international Chinese language education has a universal educational attribute in its knowledge communication,while also possessing the particularity of global cross-border education.This chapter summarizes the development process of media technology in the communication of knowledge in international Chinese language education,dividing it into the initial stage of online education,the stage of technology platform extension,the stage of digital resource popularization,and the stage of digital development and intelligent transformation.At the same time,it analyzes the modes of knowledge communication at different stages and the changes in the physical presence of the communication subject.At present,we are in the stage of transformation and development of knowledge dissemination in international Chinese education.The impact of digital technology has formed a panoramic digital reality,mainly relying on the participation of multiple stakeholders to construct a digital environment and presenting a multi-level architecture characterized by multiple linkage and media integration.This is the foundation for the implementation of the digital environment for knowledge communication in international Chinese language education.The digital environment for the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education is generated and evolved through the collaborative construction of digital media interfaces,digital application scenarios,and digital learning spaces.The relationship between interface scene space is complementary and integrated.The practitioner of international Chinese language education in the digital environment participates in the interactive activities of language learning and cultural knowledge communication in the form of technical embodiment.This chapter explains the embodied practice of the knowledge communication in international Chinese language education from the aspects of embodied presence and embodied schema.Chapter 4 uses qualitative research methods to analyze the mechanism of the impact of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education.Based on Grounded theory,this chapter conducts semi-structured interviews with different subjects of knowledge communication of international Chinese education,deconstructs and integrates the interview text and codes it at three levels,ultimately forming five main categories and 14 subcategories.This includes the main categories of embodied environment,online presence,technological acceptance,self-efficacy,knowledge communication effectiveness,as well as sub categories such as online interaction,technical support,resource quality,teaching presence,learning presence,social presence,emotional presence,cognitive presence,perceived usefulness,perceived ease of use,technological adaptability,selfimprovement intention,satisfaction,and intention to continue using.Focusing on the systematic correlation between categories,the influencing factors of digital technology on the communication of international Chinese education knowledge are concatenated into a logical"storyline",and a relationship chain from embodied environment,embodied perception to the effectiveness of knowledge communication is constructed.A preliminary mechanism model of the impact of digital technology on the communication of international Chinese education knowledge is formed.On this basis,combined with original interview materials and relevant research literature,in-depth explanations were made on the various dimensions of the mechanism model,and research hypotheses were made on the interrelationships between categories.A total of 19 relationship hypotheses were proposed,thus constructing a hypothetical model of the impact of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education.Chapter 5 mainly quantitatively tests the hypothesis model of the mechanism of digital technology affecting the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education.This study will draw on the measurement items of existing mature scales,combine the variable dimensions and conceptual categories derived from grounded coding,and modify and adjust them to set items that are in line with the theme context of this study.After data collection,small sample pre-survey,and formal research,SPSS 26.0(statistical analysis tool)and Smartpls3.0(equation structure tool)were used.Through quantitative processes such as descriptive statistical analysis,exploratory factor analysis,and reliability and validity testing,the direct and indirect effects of various factors in the mechanism model of digital technology affecting the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education were analyzed.Finally,the hypothesis model was fitted and evaluated.Research has found that,firstly,in the direct effects analysis of the model,all 17 hypotheses except for H2c and H7a were validated,and the established hypotheses all had a positive and significant impact,indicating that the embodied environment is a prerequisite dimension for the communication of knowledge in international Chinese education subjects to obtain embodied perception,directly affecting various elements of the subjects’embodied perception such as online presence,perceived usefulness,and perceived ease of use.Secondly,embodied perception is a direct factor that affects the effectiveness of knowledge communication.Thirdly,in the analysis of indirect effects in the model,the indirect effect values of embodied perception variables between embodied environment variables and knowledge communication effect variables reached a significant standard,indicating that embodied perception plays a mediating role between embodied environment and knowledge communication effect variables.In addition,the self-efficacy of knowledge communication subjects has a positive impact on the perceived ease of use in embodied perception.The final model fit test proves the impact mechanism of digital technology on the communication of knowledge in international Chinese language education fits well.Chapter 6 analyzes the problems of digital technology in the knowledge communication in international Chinese language education based on qualitative interview results and quantitative testing conclusions,and proposes suggestions for optimizing the path of future digital development.From the perspective of embodiment,this chapter points out the practical problems of digital technology in the actual process of influencing knowledge communication in international Chinese education.First,the embodied environment is disconnected from the connection with the needs of embodiment perception,such as the relatively fixed form of knowledge communication,the obvious lack of intelligent technology support,and the relative shortage of digital knowledge resources.Secondly,there is no established evaluation standard and mechanism centered on the personal perception of knowledge communication subjects,which is reflected in the lack of evaluation indicators and mechanisms for teaching effectiveness,as well as the blockage of evaluation channels for satisfaction with digital technology platforms.Thirdly,the digital literacy of the participants also needs to be improved,including the digital competence of educators and the digital literacy of learners.Guided by issues,aiming at promoting the digitalization,high-quality and connotative development of knowledge communication in international Chinese language education.This paper proposes the path optimization strategy of digital technology enabling the knowledge communication in international Chinese language education from the aspects of concept guidance,environmental support,subject orientation and governance guarantee.Chapter 7 summarizes and reviews the research content,process,and main conclusions,points out the innovation and shortcomings of the research,and looks forward to future research on the knowledge communication in international Chinese language education based on digital technology.
