As educators, we all hold our own vision of “educational ideals” and “ideal education”. The new eras ideal education is rooted in the dual pillars of “digital empowerment and cultural cultivation”. Only through the integration of these elements can students develop proper life aspirations, solid knowledge foundations, excellent critical thinking skills, effective working methods, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and healthy mental states, ultimately nurturing well-rounded talents. This educational reform, grounded in the dual context of digital empowerment and cultural development, establishes a “digital empowerment and cultural cultivation” model by integrating AI, big data, and digital technologies. It guides students to apply their knowledge holistically, enhancing practical thinking, innovation capabilities, and artistic literacy. This approach fosters positive teacher-student interactions and elevates overall educational outcomes.
