Characteristics and countermeasures of information technology allergy

Information technology allergy refers to the phenomenon of holding an attitude of rejection and fear of information technology and unwilling to use information technology in teaching. This phenomenon mostly happens to older teachers. In the process of promoting the application of information technology, these teachers are often the biggest headache for schools: no matter what method you take, it is difficult to change their indifferent attitude towards information technology, and finally you can only let it go. So, how can we solve this problem?

"Immigrants" in the Digital Age

Those older teachers are undoubtedly "immigrants" in the digital age. For them, traditional teaching media such as chalk, blackboard and paper textbooks have a deep affinity for them.

Cultural and psychological disapproval

If this fault is not bridged in time, it may sink deeper and deeper, which will eventually make them resist and resent information tools and digital life. It can be seen that cultural and psychological disapproval is the most stubborn "allergen" in the application of information technology.

A respectful and tolerant attitude

If "digital immigrants" wants to recognize and accept information technology and digital life, it must first recognize and accept their culture, see the rationality of traditional culture, respect teachers' diversified choices, tolerate different teaching styles, form an open academic mentality, make each other have the impulse to talk, establish the foundation of cooperation, and finally move towards integration and win-win.

Play an important role as an example

We can't expect to change the attitude of all "digital immigrants" overnight. Those smart school administrators always pay attention to the changes of some people, especially their own changes. Because in cultural change, managers have a greater demonstration effect.
