教学难被自动化,因它依赖人脑认知与关系判断。

Why teaching resists automation in an AI-inundated era: Human judgment, non-modular work, and the limits of delegation

  • 教学本质是解释性、关系性工作,无法完全拆解为程序步骤。
  • AI虽能辅助信息获取,但无法替代教师对学习情境的实时判断。
  • 适合关注教育本质、技术边界的研究者与实践者阅读。

关于人工智能在教育中应用的讨论常将教学视为可模块化、流程化的任务,认为其可逐步由技术自动化或委托完成。本文指出,此类观点高估了教学的实际可分离性。基于大语言模型与检索增强生成系统等实证研究,尽管AI可在特定范围内支持教学功能,但教学工作因本质上具有解释性、关系性,并依托专业判断而难以实现有意义的自动化。教学与学习深受人类认知、行为、动机及社会互动影响,这些因素无法被完全定义、预测或建模。看似可分割的任务,在实践中其教学价值依赖于对学习者、情境与关系的持续上下文解读。只要教育依赖对人类认知与学习的动态理解,教学就始终属于需要人类判断的专业实践。AI可能提升信息可及性并支持部分教学活动,但无法取代教学所需的人类判断与关系责任。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Debates about artificial intelligence (AI) in education often portray teaching as a modular and procedural job that can increasingly be automated or delegated to technology. This brief communication paper argues that such claims depend on treating teaching as more separable than it is in practice. Drawing on recent literature and empirical studies of large language models and retrieval-augmented generation systems, I argue that although AI can support some bounded functions, instructional work remains difficult to automate in meaningful ways because it is inherently interpretive, relational, and grounded in professional judgment. More fundamentally, teaching and learning are shaped by human cognition, behavior, motivation, and social interaction in ways that cannot be fully specified, predicted, or exhaustively modeled. Tasks that may appear separable in principle derive their instructional value in practice from ongoing contextual interpretation across learners, situations, and relationships. As long as educational practice relies on emergent understanding of human cognition and learning, teaching remains a form of professional work that resists automation. AI may improve access to information and support selected instructional activities, but it does not remove the need for human judgment and relational accountability that effective teaching requires.
