Crisis and Countermeasures of Digital Transformation in American Higher Education: Based on the Perspective of Students' Subjectivity

Abstract

Digital transformation is the inevitable trend of higher education development in the era of artificial intelligence. The digital transformation of higher education brings many opportunities and challenges to education at the same time. As an important subject in education, students' subjectivity needs to be reinterpreted in the era of artificial intelligence. The digital transformation of higher education has brought a series of crises to students' autonomy, initiative and creativity, which are mainly manifested as the autonomy crisis caused by the frequent occurrence of mental health problems, the virtualization of self-cognition and control ability, the initiative crisis caused by information cocoon, social and emotional distortion, and the creative crisis caused by students' unequal development, insufficient self-worth cognition and alienation of educational purpose. Reflecting on the reconstruction of students' subjectivity in the era of artificial intelligence, education should face up to the use of digital tools to return to education itself as the ultimate goal, cultivate students' technological connection and sense of belonging to promote the positive interaction between people and technology, and improve the digital literacy and ability of each subject to adapt to the development of The Times.
