The training quality of graduates in normal universities is directly related to the improvement of national quality and the long-term stability of the country, and has an important impact on the construction and development of the country. Therefore, strengthening ideological and moral cultivation should be the core of quality education. As a teacher, the ideological and moral qualities should include the scientific world outlook and lofty ideals, the spirit of loving one's post and dedication, loving the motherland, the people, the cause and the students, forging ahead, uniting and cooperating, obeying the law, being ready to help others, being brave in dedication, and the noble quality of being loyal to one's duties. How to make these external requirements become students' stable quality is a very complicated subject and a weak link in our education.
In recent years, the intensity of ideological and moral education has increased, and leaders at all levels have paid more attention to ideological and political work, but the actual effect does not seem to have improved significantly. At present, there are too many conspicuous things in ideological and moral education, which makes the educated's resistance in social practice too low. Under the impact of various unorthodox thoughts, the world outlook, outlook on life and value system painstakingly constructed by teachers in training and education collapsed instantly, and even led to a movie called: People go to the opposite side in confusion and loss. College graduates don't want to go to the old, less, border and poor areas where teachers are most needed. Many young teachers have no pursuit in their careers, muddle along in their work, treat them blindly and pay attention to money. A few people are keen on stock trading, business and getting rich ... These non-individual phenomena show that traditional ideological and political education has produced extraordinary "immunity" and "drug resistance" to the educated. Isn't this worth pondering? Now, although the status of teachers has been greatly improved, the profession of teachers is not "the most enviable profession under the sun" as people eulogize.
In addition to the external factors such as the insufficient investment of the state in education and the impact of the commodity economy, shouldn't we educators reflect on the internal factors such as the increasingly strong copper smell in education and a group of people with poor teachers' ethics discrediting the image of teachers? Therefore, the ideological and moral education in normal universities must strengthen the education of students' political theory, patriotism and traditional culture in practical and effective ways, and cooperate with various educational forms with first-class moral education courses, such as guiding students to pay extensive attention to and discuss life philosophy and social hot issues, offering various special lectures, and creating a colorful cultural atmosphere. Improve students' ideological and moral quality and realize the core goal of moral education.
Second, quality education in primary and secondary schools requires teachers college graduates to have a reasonable knowledge structure and solid professional basic knowledge.
Today's normal university graduates are the implementers of quality education in primary and secondary schools in the future, and their responsibilities are different from those of traditional teachers. Future education requires them to master the basic knowledge of their major, but also to expand their knowledge as much as possible and become the unity of experts and generalists.
People often say: "To fill a bowl of water for students, a teacher should have a bucket of water". In fact, compared with the subject knowledge of primary and secondary schools, the professional knowledge of normal university professors is more than the ratio of a bucket of water to a bowl of water, both in depth and breadth. In other words, graduates of normal universities should master basic professional knowledge when they are engaged in primary and secondary education. However, in teaching practice, many people have qualified academic qualifications, but their knowledge level is not qualified. Some teachers even make a dozen intellectual mistakes in one class. Why is the knowledge quality of graduates with normal education as low as "a bowl of water is flat"? We should not pursue the responsibility of professional education excessively, but should look for the answer from factors other than education. In recent years, love, playing cards and dancing have become the norm among students in normal universities, and the learning atmosphere has become increasingly indifferent. Long live 600 minutes has become the creed of many people. They squander their youth on campus, which is actually a waste of valuable educational resources. It seems that the relaxed learning environment in high schools in China is a fertile ground for people with lofty ideals to grow up freely; There is also too loose living space for mediocre people with mixed diplomas. To change the unhealthy and unreliable learning atmosphere in colleges and universities, on the one hand, we must rely on multi-directional, multi-level and multi-channel effective ideological and political education, on the other hand, we must introduce and gradually improve various competition mechanisms in management, maintain an appropriate elimination rate, guide students to lay a solid foundation of professional knowledge, and force them to become talents.
In the future, the education of primary and secondary school teachers will no longer simply impart knowledge, but cultivate people's all-round development. To achieve this goal, teachers' colleges must appropriately increase courses to broaden students' knowledge structure and give more guidance on learning methods in combination with future needs, so that they can continuously enhance their self-study ability, study hard and be good at learning while receiving classroom education; While mastering solid professional basic knowledge, we should also have modern cultural and scientific knowledge; It is also necessary to have an understanding of cross-disciplinary and cross-infiltration knowledge closely related to professional content. Generally speaking, trans-century normal college graduates should have the following new conditions: mastering extensive and profound professional knowledge and basic knowledge of similar disciplines; Basic knowledge of modern philosophy; General basic knowledge of modern natural science and technical science; Basic knowledge of modern social science, modern psychology, pedagogy, human science and basic knowledge of medicine, hygiene and health care. If most of the graduates trained by our normal university can meet the above new requirements, it won't be long before the quality education in primary and secondary schools will bear fruit and even the overall quality of the people will be greatly improved.
Thirdly, quality education in primary and secondary schools requires normal university graduates to have strong abilities and various intelligent structures.
Ability and knowledge are teachers' wings. Normal universities should put cultivating students' ability in a more important position than imparting knowledge. Because in the future, teachers engaged in quality education in primary and secondary schools will no longer be traditional "teachers" and "knowledge replicators", but engineers and educators who cultivate talents.
The ability of primary and secondary school teachers mainly includes the basic skills of conventional education and teaching. Professional skills, educational and scientific research capabilities, self-study and access to new information, creativity, innovation in education and teaching, etc.
The basic skills of education and teaching are teachers' unique basic skills, including language expression ability (including Putonghua level), classroom organization ability, students' and class teachers' working ability, blackboard writing, blackboard drawing and blackboard writing ability, and the ability to use audio-visual teaching means. The formation of these basic skills mainly depends on teachers' own practice. Teachers' colleges should provide students with necessary theoretical guidance and more practical opportunities. At present, many normal universities have set up special training courses aimed at cultivating the above-mentioned abilities, urging and encouraging students to improve themselves in this respect.
The implementation of quality education puts forward higher requirements for teachers' professional knowledge and skills. Quality education emphasizes both knowledge and ability, the synchronous development of students' left and right brains, and the all-round development of people. Without solid professional skills and extensive knowledge, teachers can't meet the needs of quality education. The knowledge gained in classroom education is limited, and there is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be acquired through continuous self-study. Therefore, in the process of cultivating talents in normal universities, we must pay attention to cultivating their ability of self-study and obtaining new information, be good at applying what they have learned, think creatively, put forward new ideas and methods, and even create new knowledge. CCTV once reported it. Jinshan, a sophomore at Beijing University of Technology, applies the new knowledge he learns at school to his work and study, learning other knowledge while earning money and exercising his ability. In his own words, "it is rolling development" and accumulating "ability capital outside classroom learning" for himself during his four years in college. The author believes that this is a concept of ability self-cultivation and self-development consciousness worthy of recommendation to normal college students.
The Outline of Education Reform and Development in China clearly points out: "Educational scientific research should be placed in a very important position" and "schools, teachers and educational researchers should be encouraged and supported to actively carry out educational reform experiments." Therefore, normal universities should also pay attention to cultivating students' professional scientific research ability and educational scientific research ability, as well as the ability to study society and family. It is necessary to include the training of basic skills in education and scientific research in the teaching plan and take writing teaching and research papers as the basic requirement. The class hours of educational practice should be appropriately extended. In addition to the training of basic teaching skills, the content of educational practice should also be trained by determining the content of educational research, setting up teaching reform topics, writing teaching reform experiments and implementation plans, and organizing the implementation of specific topics. Judging from the current situation of teachers, the lack of teaching and research theory is a common phenomenon, and it is also an obstacle to further improve the quality of graduates in normal universities to meet the requirements of quality education in primary and secondary schools.
Four. Concluding remarks
Judging from the current situation of the teaching staff, all primary and secondary schools in urban areas are full or even overstaffed, and there is a phenomenon of "a few radishes in one pit", but the quality of the teaching staff is not satisfactory. The problem is that there is no mature system in the personnel management system of the education system to eliminate "unqualified radish", which makes it more and more difficult to distribute graduates in normal universities. However, with the reform of personnel system and the implementation of quality education, the demand for high-quality talents in primary and secondary schools will be more urgent, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for normal universities. We expect teachers' colleges and universities to continuously train a batch of high-quality talents and make greater contributions to quality education in primary and secondary schools.
