As the main body of school teaching evaluation, teachers are familiar with the professional knowledge of teaching evaluation, deeply understand the role and limitations of teaching evaluation, and fully understand the problems existing in students' teaching evaluation. On this basis, teaching evaluation education for students is more targeted and effective.
Therefore, a teacher who only pays attention to students' test scores is not a good teacher, and a good teacher must also pay attention to the teaching evaluation education of students.
For those problems caused by the limitations of teaching evaluation, we can consider using teaching evaluation education to solve them. Then, how to carry out teaching evaluation education for students? The following situation 1 is typical.
Case 1: A letter from a British teacher to a student.
Dear you:
This letter is accompanied by the results of this primary school graduation exam. You did your best under great pressure, and we are proud of you.
But, you know, these exams can't evaluate everything that makes you so different. The people who ask these questions don't know all of you, nor do your teachers and family know you.
You can't tell them your grades. Many of you already speak two languages.
You can't tell them your grades. You can play musical instruments, dance and draw pictures.
Your grades can't tell them, your friends trust you, and your smile can light up the most boring day.
You can't tell them your grades. You write poems or songs, take part in sports, are curious about the future, and sometimes take care of your brothers and sisters after school.
Your grades can't tell them that you have been to really wonderful places, that you can tell a great story, and that you can really enjoy the time with your family and friends.
Your grades can't tell them that you are trustworthy, kind and considerate, and work hard every day.
Your score does reflect some aspects of you, but it doesn't represent all of you.
So, enjoy your achievements and be proud of them. But please always remember that people can have many excellent ways, and exams are definitely not the only way.
The above-mentioned letters show us the purpose, opportunity and way of teachers' teaching evaluation education directly to students.
1. The purpose of teacher direct teaching evaluation is to educate students.
(1) Help students understand the value and limitations of teaching evaluation.
For the growth of students, teaching evaluation is undoubtedly necessary and its value is irreplaceable. However, long-term practice shows that any evaluation, whether it is the traditional paper-and-pencil test evaluation or the later performance evaluation, will have certain limitations. Among them, the limitations of exams and their scores are relatively more prominent.
The reasons for this limitation are complicated, and some of them may come from the evaluator (the questioner). As said in the above letter, "the people who asked these questions don't know everyone of you, nor do they know your teachers and family."
It may also come from the limitations of the evaluation results (test scores), such as the test scores can not fully reflect the development of students. "These exams don't evaluate everything that makes you so different." "You can't tell them your grades ..." "Your grades do reflect some aspects of you, but they don't represent all of you."
A correct understanding of the value of teaching evaluation will help students to become "rational people" and not be kidnapped or confused by evaluation and results. "Please always remember that people can have many excellent ways, and exams are definitely not the only way."
(2) Guide students' attitude towards teaching evaluation.
Teachers should educate students not to be afraid of teaching evaluation, not to form exclusion, but to learn to "accept evaluation", as the letter said: "Enjoy your achievements and be proud of them." Dredge students' emotions, form a good mentality, and face success or failure together with students.
With teaching evaluation, there is bound to be success or failure. If you succeed, you should "pursue victory" and not rest on your laurels; If you fail, you must "work hard" and don't be devastated.
How to face "success", there are many problems to be studied; How to face "failure", especially the difficult problem of teaching evaluation education.
Japanese scholar Kenji Tanaka believes that dealing with students' "failure" can be divided into four stages:
"The responsibility for failure lies with students"-the reason is that students' ability and efforts are not enough;
The stage of "eliminating failed teaching"-"eliminating" becomes the goal, and only emphasizes teaching efficiency;
"Teachers flexibly use failed teaching"-regard failure as an important opportunity for teaching, organize teaching with failure, and form a solid academic ability;
"Teachers and students flexibly use failed teaching" stage-teachers and students face failures together and consciously overcome them.
Obviously, this last stage contains rich educational elements of teaching evaluation. Because in this process, students confirm their progress or failure (how has the way of thinking changed or improved? What have you learned? Won't what? ), at the same time, in teaching, teachers create an environment where they can actively put forward the content of "no", and take the failure of opposition and differentiation in the learning collective as a learning topic to expand and share.
2. Teachers directly evaluate students' teaching opportunities.
Whether you can do the right thing at the right time, especially tests a person's wisdom. Teaching evaluation education for students is no exception. If you choose different time points, it will play different roles.
Teaching evaluation education can do some preventive ideological guidance, publicity of evaluation knowledge and counseling of evaluation methods before teaching evaluation activities; In the teaching evaluation activities, we can remind some matters needing attention in the evaluation and guide the evaluation attitude. After the teaching evaluation activities, we can make some supplements to the evaluation, make up for the shortcomings and encourage the attitude.
This letter was sent to the students at the same time as the report card after the evaluation results came out. "This letter is attached with the result of this primary school graduation exam." The letter is "Lord" and the result is "Attached". It means that teachers regard the educational value of this letter more important than the evaluation results. This not only ensures the timeliness of teaching evaluation education, but also emphasizes the importance of teaching evaluation education.
Teachers carry out teaching evaluation education when students need it most, and its effect is just like "good rain knows the season, when spring comes"
It is very important for students to be informed or prompted by teachers about teaching evaluation information. The research shows: "It is a good idea to let students know when to take the exam, what scope to take the exam, what topic, how to calculate the score, how long the exam will last, etc." . There is no doubt that these factors will affect teachers' preparation for exams. By providing this information, teachers can help students reduce the inevitable tension when they know the exam time. With this information, the exam has become a stimulating factor for students to learn. "
For individual students, there are individual differences in the timing of teaching evaluation, which also needs to be considered. In general, timely teaching evaluation has good educational effect; Under special circumstances, it is also effective to postpone until students can treat it rationally.
3. The direct way for teachers to evaluate teaching and students' education.
First of all, the way of teaching evaluation education will really affect the effect of teaching evaluation education. Doing things properly can get twice the result with half the effort; And if the way is wrong, you can only get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, teachers must pay attention to the selection and application of students' teaching evaluation education.
Secondly, writing letters to students is a direct teaching evaluation and education method. The so-called direct way is that there is no intermediate link, no intermediary, no evasion, no cover-up, facing the problem directly and hitting the point directly.
Third, teaching evaluation education can take many forms. Formal and formal methods can be used, such as informal and informal methods; It can be public or private.
This letter was sent with a written manuscript, and privacy should be considered. Not in an open way, nor does it mean to preach. This is a kind reminder and spiritual comfort. This way makes people feel very intimate and warm. "This letter is accompanied by the results of this primary school graduation exam. You did your best in the face of great pressure, and we are proud of you. "
After all the physical and mental exhaustion, helpless grievances, possible setbacks, intangible injuries, etc. The students were quietly dissolved by a warm current, because this letter was written with empathy and was so considerate and caring to read.
Psychologist Rogers once found an interesting phenomenon: "If you recognize and understand a person, he is likely to change himself. If you control, criticize and reprimand and try to convince others, it is likely to lead to defensive and stubborn behavior. The desire to change must come from the heart of the students, not from your preaching. "
The ingenious ways and methods of students' evaluation of teaching show the practical wisdom of teachers and directly reflect the artistry of evaluation of teaching education.
Parents are also the main body of teaching evaluation education for students, and because of the particularity of parent-child relationship, teaching evaluation education is easy to obtain different effects from school teachers as the main body of education.
In view of the complementary relationship between parents' teaching evaluation education for children and school teaching evaluation education, it is very important to seek parents' support for teaching evaluation education for giving full play to the joint efforts of teaching evaluation education.
Then, how to carry out teaching evaluation education for students through parents? The following case 2 gives a lot of inspiration.
Case 2: A letter from the German headmaster to the parents of the students.
It would be great if your child got good grades in the exam. If not, please don't deprive him of his confidence and dignity.
It doesn't matter to tell the children. This is just an exam.
Your children will do great things in the future. Tell them that no matter what they do in the exam, you will love them and won't judge them by it.
You will see how your children will conquer the world in the future, and exams or low grades will not deprive them of their talents.
In addition, please don't think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world.
Your headmaster
The above letters show us the purpose, opportunity and way of teaching evaluation education through parents.
1. The purpose of school teaching evaluation is to educate students through parents.
(1) Help parents form a correct view of teaching evaluation.
Teaching evaluation is important and necessary, but it also has its own limitations.
This letter from the headmaster to the parents gave a meaningful reminder and guidance. Parents are required to realize that their children's current test scores cannot determine their future development and success. "Please remember that among these children who take the exam, there will be an artist who doesn't need to know math, an entrepreneur who doesn't need to care about the history of English literature, and a musician who doesn't need to worry about chemistry scores."
Parents should not solidify their children's future career orientation, which will limit more and better development possibilities. Don't form narrow professional prejudice. Please don't think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world.
Parents pay too much attention to exams and scores, which often affects their children's attitude towards exams and scores. The tangible or intangible pressure exerted by parents on their children in this regard may cause children to have "fear" and even long-term psychological shadow when facing the exam.
Therefore, parents should be educated in teaching evaluation first. "You will see how your children will conquer the world in the future, and exams or low grades will not deprive them of their talents." In view of parents' concern for their children's development, this letter always talks with parents from the standpoint of caring for students' development, so it is easy to get parents' approval and support.
(2) Special protection for children's self-confidence and dignity.
Parents should not be "responsible" for their children because of their "deep love"; Don't impose inappropriate requirements out of "all for your own good"; Don't destroy their self-esteem just to motivate them to work hard. "If your child gets good grades, that's great. If not, please don't deprive him of his confidence and dignity. "
Compared with the test scores, children's self-confidence and dignity are more important, but they are also more vulnerable to contusion. Once the injury is touched, it is difficult to completely repair or rebuild, which has a far-reaching impact on children and needs us to cherish it.
Let students become confident learners and enjoy their due dignity, which is the direction of teaching evaluation and education efforts. Many times, parents want their children to have a bright future, but if they disregard their self-confidence and dignity and make impossible demands, they will do things that are counterproductive and not worth the candle.
The letter especially reminds parents to pay attention to this matter, which shows that the principal is very experienced and has grasped the key of family evaluation education.
2. Schools evaluate and educate students through parents.
It is very important for schools to evaluate and educate students through their parents. There are mainly two aspects: on the one hand, schools should pay attention to grasping the best opportunity for parents to carry out teaching evaluation education. In this letter, the school put teaching evaluation education before the exam, reminding parents that "the child will have an exam soon."
This is to let parents know, understand the arrangement of the school's evaluation of teaching, and be mentally prepared. And closely cooperate with the school, "two-pronged", do a good job in teaching evaluation education for students, in order to form the "1+ 1 > 2" educational "joint force".
Generally speaking, putting teaching evaluation education before the implementation of teaching evaluation is mainly to inform and play a role in prompting or preventing; Teaching evaluation education and teaching evaluation activities are carried out simultaneously, mainly in close cooperation, which plays a role in promoting or standardizing; Putting teaching evaluation education after the implementation of teaching evaluation is mainly to make up for it and play a role in correcting mistakes or summarizing.
On the other hand, parents should pay attention to grasping the best opportunity to carry out teaching evaluation education for their children. The effect of teaching evaluation education is often related to whether parents grasp the best opportunity. Whether the parent-child relationship is harmonious, whether the child is fortified, whether the mood at that time is peaceful, and so on. , it will affect children's acceptance of teaching evaluation education carried out by parents.
The research shows that "an educated evaluator should always keep a good mood and keep the psychological communication between the two sides in a good state, so that it is possible to actively adjust the psychology of the evaluated person and make the evaluation work go smoothly." Therefore, parents should actively create a harmonious family atmosphere and successfully have a deep heart-to-heart conversation with their children.
3. The school conducts teaching evaluation and education for parents and students.
Compared with teachers' direct teaching evaluation education, this is an indirect teaching evaluation education method. The place of teaching evaluation education has changed from school to family, and the subject has changed from teachers to parents. The teacher can't see it for the time being, and the parents will go into battle immediately.
The headmaster writes to parents not only for the privacy of students, but also as an equal communication with parents. Therefore, the letter begins: "I know you all want your children to be excellent people." The lines between the lines are full of goodwill and empathy, which suddenly brings us closer to our parents and resonates with their thoughts.
Letters are written language expressions that parents can read repeatedly. Touching the heart will stimulate deep thinking. The requirements put forward are clear, ambiguous and easy to implement in action.
Actively guiding parents to evaluate and educate their children adds a little warmth to the family, which may be the biggest difference between school teachers and parents. "It doesn't matter to tell children. Just an exam. " To immediately reduce children's unnecessary anxiety about teaching evaluation, the practical way is not to inadvertently enlarge or deliberately exaggerate the role of exams, so that children can understand that an exam is not that important and there are still many opportunities to prove themselves.
"Tell them that no matter what they do, you will love them and will not judge them by it." Let children not worry about the results of teaching evaluation. After all, for them, what is more terrible than poor grades is losing their parents' love.
In the letter, the principal's instruction on parents' teaching evaluation and education is so detailed that he even gives sincere and practical suggestions on what children should say and how to say it. The direction of home-school cooperation is the same, all for the healthy growth of students.
"Parents usually want to know how their children's performance compares with expectations and others of the same age. Providing parents with evaluation information, so that parents can understand the learning objectives, children's performance and the focus of future study is the key to establishing a strong cooperative relationship between home and school. " It is an important guarantee for the healthy growth of students that schools and parents convey consistent educational information and influence to students.
To sum up, the two effective ways of school teaching evaluation education have their own characteristics and advantages, and educators of teaching evaluation can choose and use them according to the actual situation. Both of them can be used independently, or they can be used synthetically and complementarily. I sincerely hope that more and more attention can be paid to students' teaching evaluation education, so that teaching evaluation can play more and better educational value.
