Keywords: education information technology, rural teachers' professional development Text: The rapid development of information technology has brought vitality to rural education, but it also faces greater impacts and challenges. Due to the limitation of environmental conditions and their own quality, rural teachers are far inferior to urban teachers in the use of advanced teaching facilities, network popularization and use, which seriously restricts the faster and better growth of rural teachers. This paper discusses the training and application of information technology in rural primary and secondary school teachers, so that rural teachers can embark on the road of professional development faster. Today, with the development of education, the professional development of teachers is becoming more and more prominent and important under the network environment. As a front-line teacher in rural areas, the following are my views on how educational information technology can promote the professional development of rural teachers, hoping to get guidance and criticism from educational colleagues and experts.
First, the analysis of the current situation of rural teachers 1. The knowledge structure of rural teachers is unbalanced and polarized seriously.
On the one hand, old teachers have rich teaching experience and lack modern information technology knowledge. Most middle-aged and elderly teachers have not received computer education and training before. Because of their age and conditions, they are unwilling to accept new things and do not take the initiative to learn information technology. Backward thinking, older age and limited conditions have become important obstacles to the professional development of rural teachers. On the other hand, young teachers obviously lack teaching experience. With the special post teachers entering the countryside, fresh blood has been injected into rural schools. Most of the special post teachers graduated from undergraduate courses and are proficient in computer operation and information technology teaching skills. Although they have high computer operation skills, they obviously lack experience in education and teaching, so they can't organically combine information technology with education and teaching. Their main energy at this stage is to be familiar with textbooks and master the basic skills of classroom teaching. In addition, information technology teachers are not ready for curriculum reform. The content of the course is constantly changing, which increases the difficulty for teachers' teaching. Some information technology teachers are not qualified for the teaching requirements of the new curriculum standards.
2. The utilization rate of information technology application teaching is not high.
Because the teaching environment in rural schools is still relatively backward, some schools still have a desk and a pen, and teachers rely on one mouth to give lectures. Primary schools and junior high schools with better conditions are equipped with multimedia classrooms, teachers' offices are equipped with computers, and students have computer rooms, so they can have an information technology class every week. Only a few classrooms use multimedia teaching. However, due to conditions and environmental impact, the utilization rate of information technology teaching in these schools is not high, and many multimedia teaching equipment has been put on hold for a long time.
Second, the new era has new requirements for teachers' professional development. Tian teacher, a teacher in our school, has been teaching for nearly 30 years. She is a good teacher who is practical, diligent and dedicated at school, and her Chinese class is very vivid. However, due to her age and being located in remote rural areas, her knowledge and understanding of network knowledge and information-based teaching is almost a blind spot. When the school just organized all the teachers to carry out educational information technology training, she couldn't even operate a computer, let alone make courseware and other operations. Local mobile companies and schools are going to establish a school ICT platform with their parents this year, and many students in their class have joined the school ICT. As a class teacher, she has to contact the parents of students through computers and mobile phones. Every time, she always asks her young colleagues at school to edit and send messages for her on the computer. Every time she mentioned it, she seemed helpless and lamented that she was a little old and behind the times.
Similar to the situation of Mr. Tian in the above case, our rural schools have teachers of different degrees. Due to the influence of regional economic development differences and education level, many elderly teachers have a superficial understanding of the network. It is necessary to improve these rural primary and secondary school teachers' understanding of the professional quality of modern teachers, and let them realize the important role of modern educational information technology and network in promoting teaching development and innovation through facts. Teachers can timely release all kinds of school information through the network, guide students to complete their homework, and release some new ideas and methods for parents to educate their children, which plays a good bridge role in school and family education.
Under the condition of information technology, the changes of educational means, educational environment and teachers' roles put forward new requirements for teachers' professional development. Change from passive learner to active learner. From the perspective of teachers' professional development, teachers should be learners who constantly learn, reflect and improve, which is also in line with the concepts of "learning society" and "lifelong learning". Teachers can integrate information technology with school-based teaching research, improve teaching level, communicate with each other by using network technology, improve their awareness and ability of self-reflection, and gain the motivation of professional development.
At the beginning of learning, many older teachers feel difficult, which affects their enthusiasm for learning. However, when they realized the importance of information technology in teaching, especially when they saw young teachers get twice the result with half the effort by using information technology, they changed their old ideas and made up their minds to study hard and keep up with the times. They use their evenings and spare time to help and teach each other, keep their curiosity and practice persistently, especially several older teachers. Teachers set off an upsurge of learning to use computers with their own practical actions. We studied the basic knowledge and operation of computer, the application of information technology in teaching, the skills of using multimedia teaching software, and the technology of making multimedia materials and courseware. Adhere to the principle of combining theory with practice, tap teaching potential as needed, combine operational teaching with centralized and decentralized training, make teachers apply what they have learned, change traditional teaching modes and methods, actively use multimedia technology for computer-aided teaching, optimize teaching process, and strive to fundamentally change traditional teaching structure and teaching mode, so as to achieve the requirements of cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability, and combine with the goal of quality education.
2, increase the training of modern educational technology for rural primary and secondary school teachers.
Although we have conducted similar professional training for teachers before, these trainings are often just a formality. For example, cities organize teachers' professional and technical level examinations, and many rural teachers often cannot fully master knowledge and skills in a short time. Before the exam, they tried their best to prepare for it. These teachers gave up the consolidation and mastery of professional knowledge after the exam, and still could not innovate in teaching. Practice has proved that this training method to cope with exams can not play a practical role in teachers' own professional growth. Educational informatization is the only way to realize educational modernization, which is helpful to speed up knowledge updating and cultivate students' higher-order thinking ability. Using network and multimedia technology, we can build an informative and reflective learning environment and tools for students to explore freely, which is greatly conducive to the formation and development of their critical and creative thinking. Educational informatization can break through the time and space limitation of educational environment and help to strengthen the connection between classroom and the real world. Using computer multimedia can simulate a large number of real-world scenes, introduce the outside world into the classroom, and make students get a closer experience to the real world. At present, the most urgent problem for rural teachers' professional growth is to let them master information technology as soon as possible, and information technology training is very important.
3. Starting from teachers' blogs, actively promoting teaching reflection With the continuous development of network information technology, teachers' blogs have become a trend and fashion.
Become the only way for teachers' professional development. Teachers of all grades and disciplines upload and publish their daily life insights, teaching experience, lesson plan design, classroom records, courseware, etc. Using Internet blog technology, we can transcend the traditional time and space restrictions, promote the appearance of teachers' personal tacit knowledge, and let the whole society share knowledge and ideas. Teachers' blog provides a quick and effective way for teachers to continue learning, exchange experiences and reflect on teaching. Teachers' blog plays an important role and has great potential in teachers' professional development, so we should attach great importance to the construction and improvement of teachers' blog platform.
The school strengthens guidance and encourages teachers to write educational narratives on blogs. Suhomlinski said: "I suggest that every teacher keep an educational diary. Educational diary is not an official document requiring a certain format, but a personal essay record that can be recorded in daily work. These records are the source of thinking and creation. The teacher's diary that has been kept for 10, 20 years or even 30 years is a great wealth. Every teacher who is diligent in thinking has his own system and his own educational literacy. " Educational narrative means that teachers conduct educational research in their own lives, not writing conceptual papers that they don't even understand, but paying attention to what happened in their educational life, discovering meaningful details, and then reflecting on their education and teaching, so as to improve and rebuild their educational life. It can be said that it is an electronic version or an enhanced version of the educational diary. Compared with the traditional educational diary, it is easy to communicate and spread quickly, and pays more attention to reflection and creation. It is more in line with teachers' teaching practice and provides teachers with new teaching and research horizons. So it is also popular with teachers.
4. Take teachers as the main body to realize the cooperation of teaching design.
Research shows that the effective integration of information technology and subject teaching is fundamentally not a technical problem, but an educational problem. It is a very complicated process for teachers to integrate new technologies into daily classroom teaching. They should learn to use new technical skills, design classroom teaching through teachers' group cooperation, and be able to solve teaching problems in new and different situations. After the teaching design scheme is completed, each group should show the design scheme to all teachers, discuss and evaluate it, and put forward suggestions for revision. Analyze the success of teaching design and teaching practice, and summarize the integration mode that is beneficial to students' development. Compare the gap between teaching process and teaching design, investigate the gap between actual teaching activities and their own teaching ideas, find out the gap between students' actual learning effect and expected teaching goals, find out the problems existing in their own educational ideas and teaching behaviors, and put forward specific ideas for improving teaching on this basis.
With the popularization and promotion of rural information technology, schools pay more and more attention to the input of information technology and the construction of campus network, which provides a broad stage for the professional growth of rural teachers. Using the network to prepare lessons, rural teachers can understand the most advanced educational concepts and interact with well-known teachers in China. Rural teachers can use the internet to search for more and more detailed teaching materials and resources, broaden their horizons and realize their own shortcomings. Teachers use the internet to prepare lessons. They can concentrate the teaching ideas and methods of excellent teachers, so that rural teachers can catch up with urban teachers and rural students can better understand the outside world.
Informatization education shows us a bright future of education, but the realization of informatization of education is not a one-off event, it is an adaptive social process, and its development depends on whether it can adapt to the educational environment well and how to serve education. Therefore, we must constantly review the past and reflect on what achievements are worth carrying forward and what lessons need to be learned. On this basis, we will further strengthen training and learning, continue to practice and look forward to the future, continue to advance, and realize the modernization of education and teaching in rural primary and secondary schools. We will continue to practice, explore, improve and accumulate experience, and contribute wisdom and strength to the overall work of teaching and the modernization of education.
