Abstract

A problem in application of educational facilities and equipment exists in schools that people tend to regard such technology from a cold view and neglect the ethical care for the schools and children. Influenced by a cold cognition from the industrial times, people in education community tend to consider the application of facilities and equipment as technological issues, paying less attention to the young people for their healthy physical and mental growth and potential invasion of children’s privacy. The cases of such violence or impingement of school children are happening frequently though not on negative purposes from the users and producers of educational facilities and equipment. The reason is apparent because people involved in these processes are not ethically trained, and they are unaware of ethical considerations in designing and applying the technical stuff. This article identified salient problems and raised countermeasure to remind the colleagues: (1) The application of educational facilities and equipment should conform to the real needs of teachers and students. (2) The educational equipment should fit users’ convenience and avoid cumbersome. Educational facilities and equipment should reflect its original nature that it is human beings who are the masters. (3) Educational facilities and equipment should take the role of service for education for goal-oriented assistance for the appropriate teaching and learning.
