Distance education has entered the classroom, applied to teaching and achieved fruitful results.
In recent years, with the support of the leaders of higher education administration and business departments, Yitong No.5 Middle School has taken the lead in the distance education of rural middle schools in the county, achieved certain results and played an important role in education and teaching. Our specific approach is:
First, leaders attach importance to it and are willing to invest.
It seems to be a cliche to mention the attention of leaders. We think this is not a cliche, but the key to doing this job well. In this regard, our headmaster often says: "It is difficult to do anything. The key is to raise awareness and achieve priority. The original teaching mode of a piece of chalk, a book and a blackboard is far from meeting the needs of modern teaching. If you are not poor, you will change your mind. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Of course, we should increase the proportion of investment in a planned way based on the principle of gradual progress and capabilities. It is best to be more difficult in other aspects to meet the teaching needs. " He not only said so, but also did so. 1996 After I came to No.5 Middle School, I took a small step every year and a big step every three years. Swallows get a lot of equipment and equipment like nests. In that year, 654.38 million yuan was invested to install the ground receiving system of C-band distance education satellite, including satellite receiving antenna, satellite receiver, TV set, DVD player and video recorder. In 2000, it invested 6.5438+0.5 million yuan to build a microcomputer room. At present, there are 40 microcomputers. In 2002, KU-band satellite antenna and digital receiver were purchased and installed. In 2003, 654.38 million yuan was invested to install three hubs and 1 router to access the multimedia Internet. In 2004, through the national modern distance education project for primary and secondary schools, Beijing 10 1 educational resource network, the century-old Shu Ren distance education system and multimedia audio-visual equipment were installed with an investment of 20,000 yuan, including 2 TCL computers, 1 printers, 1 multimedia projection system and 1 lightning protection system. Up to now, the whole multimedia teaching system of the school has invested a total of 6.5438+0.9 million yuan. In order to further facilitate teachers' use of distance education resources, we plan to invest 654.38+500,000 yuan in 2006 to buy five microcomputers to establish teachers' electronic lesson preparation room.
In addition, the school also invested 65,000 yuan to build a language laboratory. The equipment and medicines needed for the teaching of the old three rooms are purchased in time every semester according to the teaching needs. The teaching instruments and medicines in this school are basically equipped according to the equipment catalogue, and the experimental rate is over 98%. In 2003, when accepting the inspection of provincial equipment work, a member of the inspection team said with emotion: even some schools in the city can't reach the level of your laboratory.
Another aspect that leaders attach importance to is their personal participation. During the installation and debugging of each equipment, the school leaders timely adjust the unreasonable or inappropriate installation scheme. When installing the computer desk in multimedia classroom, the original installation scheme was to install the main control keyboard vertically on the big screen, which was inconvenient for teachers to use. Principal Miao discussed with the installer in time and worked out a convenient and practical installation method to make the main control keyboard parallel to the big screen. It is convenient for teachers, and it also mobilizes the enthusiasm of teachers to use multimedia.
In the autumn of 2003, there was no multimedia, but many teachers were very enthusiastic about the production and use of courseware. English teacher Villi wants to make a pattern in the textbook into a courseware and show it on the TV screen when she is talking about an open class. However, schools lack equipment. In order to encourage teachers' enthusiasm, school leaders go to the society to find relationships. Finally, with the help of the stationmaster, the wish came true. After the installation of multimedia, teachers use it more and more frequently, and sometimes they need materials to make courseware. The main leaders of the school personally went online to help find it.
Second, strengthen teacher training and improve the quality of managers.
To make good use of distance education equipment, we must first improve the quality of managers and teachers. We have made careful consideration when selecting management personnel. When it was first put into use, several teachers in the school looked for leaders alone, hoping to do this job. We don't think these people realize the difficulty of this work at all. After research, we chose two young teachers with active thoughts and strong dedication to work. The two teachers quickly became familiar with the business, mastered the relevant knowledge of distance education, and often sacrificed their rest time to help teachers make courseware without complaining.
In order to improve the quality of teachers, the school has formulated a training plan for backbone teachers in modern distance education, and defined the training content, teaching objectives and class hours of backbone teachers. We are willing to invest in training. Every semester, the school sends full-time distance education teachers and microcomputer management personnel to the city for training for one week, and then carries out on-campus training and counseling. Through school-based training, the graduation rate of advanced microcomputer training for all teachers in this school is 97%, and 30% of teachers have become the backbone of distance education in this school. All of them have reached the level of making courseware independently, debugging computer data receiving system independently, downloading teaching resources independently and using them properly in education and teaching. The school also adopts the way that three teachers in the subject group take 1 backbone teacher, so as to quickly improve the ability and level of teachers to use the distance education system for teaching, effectively use the microcomputer room and the electric classroom, and greatly improve the equipment utilization rate and teaching effect.
In addition, the school also trains teachers to enter new courses through the distance education system, and the school has formulated a training plan. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, the research group will go to the audio-visual classroom to participate in training, or watch CDs, aerial classes or synchronous classes, and then exchange discussions and talk about gains and experiences, so that the training area will reach 65,438+000%. In the past, teachers were organized to attend classes once in Changchun, and each teacher was at least 50.00 yuan. All teachers attended classes once for 4,000 yuan or 5,000 yuan. Now sitting in the multimedia classroom can enjoy better educational resources than attending classes in Changchun, which is worthwhile in any case.
At present, teachers in this school watch 1 1 audio-visual programs every semester on average, and borrow more than 5 CDs on average.
Third, combine with reality and pay attention to actual results.
Since the establishment of the distance education network system, a group of school leaders have tried their best to let teachers taste the sweetness of modern education. After the completion of the multimedia classroom, it has brought great convenience for teachers to find materials and make courseware. For example, when Wu Beiping, a Chinese teacher in this school, was preparing for Lao Wang, who was a coachman with physical defects, hard living conditions and difficulties in making a living. He is an unfortunate man. Jiang Yang, the author, cares for him and helps him, thus revealing the ideological significance in real life: respect and care for the unfortunate people. When preparing lessons, it is difficult for students to be truly shocked by the teacher's explanation. Teachers use distance education resources to collect pictures, such as drivers struggling in the rain, ragged old people who have to pick up garbage in order to survive, blind people who cross the road together, curious children who are out of school, etc ... These pictures are made into courseware, and students have a strong response in class, which has achieved unexpected results.
In the teaching process, we make full use of multimedia and optimize teaching methods. Through careful preparation and using distance education resources, teachers make rigorous and rich courseware and apply it to teaching, so that classroom teaching can be optimized. Take the lesson of Lao Wang taught by teacher Wu Beiping as an example: In order to stimulate students' interest in learning, in the tutorial class, the teacher shows the pictures of the stars downloaded from the Internet: Jolin Tsai, Jay Chou, She, Super Girl and He Jie, and asks the students, "Do you know them?" The students answered "yes" in unison and could blurt out their names. The teacher asked, "Who can try to sing their songs?" Students choose to sing two songs, and then the teacher is led by a star: "In fact, it is often like this. People care about the words and deeds of stars, but in our lives, more people are ordinary people. Do you pay attention to ordinary people like you pay attention to stars? " Jiang Yang, a famous writer and translator, once wrote a story about a coachman. Today we are going to learn from Lao Wang. "This kind of introduction, teacher-student interaction, student-student interaction, and the help of network and multimedia have narrowed the distance between teachers and students, improved students' enthusiasm for learning, created a happy learning situation, and changed students from" asking me to learn "to" I want to learn ". Then, the teacher played a reading of the article "Lao Wang", which is an audio-visual material produced by distance education resources. The music is touching and the picture is vivid, which makes students walk into the text and "know Lao Wang". Then the teacher guides the students to "taste Lao Wang" and taste Lao Wang's kindness. In this session, the teacher showed the performance of the old Shanliang Wang and the kindness of the author on the multimedia big screen, which saved the tedious writing on the blackboard with chalk and saved the time of writing on the blackboard. Finally, we call on students to "pay attention to Lao Wang" and show pictures of the unfortunate people with multimedia courseware, so that students can realize that they should respect and care for the unfortunate people and pay attention to the vulnerable groups. In the whole classroom teaching, teachers make full use of distance education resources and multimedia to optimize teaching methods and classroom teaching. Besides Chinese, other subjects such as mathematics, foreign languages, physics and chemistry, politics, etc. Also actively use the media for teaching. Physical chemistry teachers in grade three should organize students to watch VCD discs of physical chemistry experiments in junior high school every time they review before the middle school entrance examination, so as to simplify the complicated things, adapt to the requirements of the new curriculum reform and create new teaching models. One class can easily complete the content that originally required two classes. The flexibility of students' mastery and application of basic concepts far exceeds the teaching effect of traditional teaching methods, and the classroom teaching atmosphere is extremely active. Experiments show that the teaching quality is more than doubled compared with traditional teaching methods.
Through practice, everyone agrees that the focus of application is to face students and let all students enjoy high-quality educational resources; The key to application is teachers, and it is a key issue to establish a team of teachers who can consciously, actively and creatively apply modern distance education equipment and resources, so that distance education can be integrated into all aspects of school education and teaching. The breakthrough of application is the reform of education and teaching methods. We combine education reform with the reality of distance education construction in our school, and constantly explore and improve the education and teaching mode suitable for distance education. Make modern distance education closely integrated with our usual teaching activities.
Fourth, the system is the most important guarantee.
In order to manage and make good use of distance education, the school has formulated a series of rules and regulations in light of the actual situation. Such as: multimedia classroom management system, distance education equipment management personnel responsibilities, distance education resource download and software use management system, distance education learning system and other rules and regulations. Managers are also required to record the use of distance education equipment, establish the teaching application records of distance education resources, the borrowing and returning records of distance education equipment and the registration records of distance education equipment. In order to implement distance education, since 1997, the school has been insisting on publishing the teaching program schedule of the education station in advance every week in the form of school-based training (in order to accurately use the published content, the school ordered a China Education Radio and Television Newspaper) for teachers to watch selectively. The school requires teachers to use multimedia in classroom teaching evaluation and open classes, and whether to use multimedia is an important basis for teachers' quantitative evaluation of classroom teaching. This has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of teachers to use distance education facilities for teaching.
Facts have proved that using multimedia to collect information is time-saving, efficient and high-quality, which is very beneficial to preparing lessons. So as to improve the quality of education and teaching.
It should be noted that in the practical application process, no matter how advanced the multimedia technology is, no matter what level the computer develops, it is always just a tool and can only play the role of assisting teaching. How to use multimedia network to unify and coordinate multimedia functions with teaching content, teaching process, teaching activities, teaching characteristics and curriculum characteristics still needs teachers' scientific design and optimal combination.
At present, on the whole, network teaching has become an indispensable teaching means in this school. It has promoted the modernization of school offices, the reform of classroom teaching mode and the healthy growth of students.
Due to the application of multimedia, the quality of education and teaching in this school has been improved to a certain extent. In the 2004-2005 school year, at the summary meeting of education and teaching work in the county, this school was commended for two tasks: 3 1 students passed the first senior high school entrance examination; Participating in the discipline competition organized by the city, 1 students won the first prize in chemistry and the third prize in physics, and the quality of teachers was obviously improved, including 3 municipal teaching backbones, 5 county teaching backbones and 4 school-level teaching backbones. Successfully passed the acceptance of municipal open schools this year.
In the future, we will continue to increase investment, strengthen management and popularize the use, so that the distance education work in this school will reach a new level.
