The Opinions on Further Reducing Students' Homework Burden and Off-campus Training Burden in Compulsory Education requires that homework design should be incorporated into the teaching and research system, and the system design should conform to the age characteristics and learning rules, and reflect the basic homework oriented by quality education. In order to implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on "double reduction" work, give full play to the function of homework education, further improve the level and quality of homework design, and reduce the heavy workload of primary and secondary school students, the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education entrusted the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission to develop high-quality basic homework in combination with the practical research on improving the quality of homework design in primary and secondary schools, which is the first prize of the National Basic Education Teaching Achievement Award.
The homework-based development team consists of more than 280 teaching researchers, special-grade teachers, senior teachers and backbone teachers in Shanghai, and nearly 30 teaching researchers and special-grade teachers in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Gulou District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province and Jinjiang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. After two years, the basic homework of each grade in eight subject sections, namely, primary school Chinese, primary school mathematics, primary school English, junior high school Chinese, junior high school mathematics, junior high school English, junior high school physics and junior high school chemistry, was first completed, and it was tried out in 22 demonstration zones for the popularization and application of outstanding teaching achievements in basic education in China. In view of the problems found in the trial, continuously improve and improve the quality.
Basic homework is based on curriculum standards, embodies the core literacy orientation, and aims at the common requirements of all students. It is designed according to three "key" principles. First, pay attention to the educational function of quasi-homework, design long-term, cooperative, practical, exploratory and interdisciplinary homework according to the requirements of the new curriculum plan and curriculum standards of compulsory education, and emphasize the application of homework to promote students' understanding of knowledge content, mastery of methods, development of ability and formation of habits. The second is to pay attention to the teaching philosophy of large units. Each subject adopts the mode of unit design, and each unit defines the homework objectives, which not only pays attention to the understanding of basic concepts, but also pays attention to the goal cultivation of students' learning strategies, learning habits and learning quality, which fully embodies their literacy idea. Third, pay attention to the overall design. While creating situations to reflect the connection between homework and real society and life, we should pay attention to the openness and depth of thinking of subject homework, and pay special attention to the integrity between different homework in the same class, homework in different classes and homework in different units. Through the gradual refinement of homework objectives and the gradual application of homework questions, students are guided to gradually deepen their understanding and master the methods of contact and perception, thus reducing the workload of homework and improving learning efficiency.
