An Analysis of the Characteristics of National Exemplary Districts and Schools on Educational Informationization: A Perspective of Smarter Education Development

Education informationization is a process of continuous development towards smarter education. This paper analyzed the formation and development of exemplary districts and schools in education informationization from the perspective of smarter education. The researchers collected data from 35 exemplary districts and 54 exemplary schools， and further analyzed three important characteristics of those exemplars (i.e.， infrastructure development， educational resources development and smart classroom development) using expert evaluation and content analysis. It is found that the regional level of education informationization had a strong positive correlation with regional per-capita GDP and educational investments， and was also related to local public finance income and regional population inflow. Over thirty percent of the schools have become the leading force of smarter education through efforts in education informationization. There was a distinct difference between schools in the east and schools in the west in their development of maker spaces， smart laboratories and smart classrooms of collaborative inquiry. Most exemplary schools have paid inadequate attention to the development of educational resources. The study results reveal several important trends in smarter education development: the smart classroom can provide more support in precision teaching， more sophisticated division of smart teachers is needed for smarter education， and the management of campus is more committed to the cultivation of fine culture.
