At present, rural school teachers' ideas and teaching concepts are backward, and art education is neglected. In addition, the lack of school teachers' equipment makes art education a weak point in rural schools, so it is imperative to carry out good art courses. Through investigation, it is found that the countermeasures to strengthen art education in rural primary schools are put forward: paying attention to the construction of campus environment, paying attention to art education and training, strengthening investment in hardware construction, offering full-course art courses and carrying out colorful art activities. ?
With the deepening of the new curriculum reform and the continuous promotion of quality education, art education in rural schools has developed to a certain extent. However, compared with other courses and urban schools, art education in rural schools is still a weak point of education, and it is imperative to carry out good art courses. ?
First, the status quo of art education in rural primary schools
Rural primary schools still regard music, physical education, art and other art classes as essential "sub-classes" because of the lack of facilities and equipment for art teaching and teachers specialized in music, physical education and art.. In order to cope with the superior inspection, the school arranged music, physical education and art classes in the curriculum, but in the implementation, some of them were perfunctory and turned into singing classes and painting classes, some were occupied by professional courses such as Chinese, mathematics and English, and some simply let students learn by themselves.
Rural primary school teachers are mostly teachers who changed from civilians to public schools in 1980s. Their age structure is too large, and there is a big gap between them and the actual needs of art teaching in teaching philosophy, teaching attitude and professional ability. Even though all the newly recruited young teachers have graduated from normal colleges in recent ten years, few teachers have received professional and systematic art education and training, and occasionally one or two will not be comfortable teaching in rural areas, resulting in a serious shortage of art education teachers in rural primary schools. Most teachers know little about music, art and sports. They think that the so-called music is to imitate others to sing a song, the so-called art is to draw the object to be painted, and the so-called sport is just to play basketball. For various reasons, music, physical education and aesthetic education courses in rural schools have become the review positions for English and mathematics courses.
Influenced by the exam-oriented education and the backward ideas of teachers and parents, every time the school holds a parent-teacher meeting, parents are very concerned about their children's exam results, but they are indifferent to the school's art education. The class teacher, subject teacher and parents talk about students' academic performance and discuss how to improve each student's exam performance. As for the teaching of art courses, students' artistic expertise, they are even afraid that the teaching of music, physical education, beauty and other courses will affect their Chinese, mathematics and English learning.
Most schools have few hardware equipment in sound, body and beauty. Take my school as an example. Before 20 16, there were no music and art facilities. Only skipping rope, table tennis, badminton and basketball are sports equipment for students to practice, but there is no formal activity venue. Faced with the lack of software and hardware conditions, school leaders can only face the reality without innovation. As a result, teachers have no pressure and motivation to deal with things. In students' minds, music class is listening to songs, art class is drawing with colored strokes, and physical education class is free to play.
Second, measures to strengthen art education in rural primary schools
1, do a good job in campus environment construction
Campus environment has a subtle educational function, which embodies the school capacity, school spirit, school motto, school philosophy and school spirit. It includes explicit and hard material environment, which can be touched and seen; At the same time, it is also a hidden and soft spiritual environment. Schools should increase capital investment, beautify the campus environment and improve their taste. According to the actual situation of all aspects of the school, we should plan and arrange the supporting construction and greening work of the campus according to the time and place, strengthen the layout of classrooms, offices and other functional rooms, embody artistic characteristics, fully display the talents of teachers and students, and strive to let students be infected by goodness and beauty from every wall, every tree, every blackboard and every window, so that every wall can speak and every landscape can educate people, thus achieving the purpose of environmental education.
2. Attach importance to art education and training.
The administrative department of higher education should attach importance to the selection and training of music, physical education and beauty teachers, and adopt the method of combining full-time study, amateur study and centralized training to strengthen the construction of art education teachers. Teachers can learn more systematic and practical professional knowledge in a short time. Only when the professional level of art teachers is improved can students' interest be stimulated and their artistic level be improved. In recent years, taking advantage of the national comprehensive thinning project and the balanced development of compulsory education, rural schools have enriched the teaching equipment of sound, physical education and beauty, but in the face of these equipment, especially sound and beauty, teachers simply don't need it, and as school administrators, they are helpless and their resources are idle.
3. Strengthen investment in hardware construction.
The types and quantity of audio, physical and aesthetic equipment are important hardware conditions for the development of art education, and also the material basis for the smooth implementation of art education. On the one hand, the government should rationally allocate the necessary art equipment for the school, and the school should use the limited education funds to buy all kinds of music, physical education and aesthetic education teaching equipment, so that the school's music, physical education and aesthetic education equipment can be scaled and graded. On the other hand, schools should mobilize all teachers and students, make full use of local resources and make some teaching tools and equipment by themselves. In addition, all kinds of equipment should be managed by special personnel to avoid damage and loss. With equipment, there is also a place for students to activities. Schools should fully tap resources, make use of resources, and build music rooms and art rooms when conditions permit, so as to provide conditions for classroom teaching of art classes and provide places and platforms for students to carry out artistic creation activities.
4. Offering full art courses.
Conscientiously implement the curriculum standards stipulated by the state, offer full courses and full class hours, and resolutely put an end to the diversion of art courses. In view of the shortage of art teachers in rural schools, the education administrative department can also use teachers of this major to teach between neighboring schools so that students can also receive art education. Do a good job in the regular classroom teaching of art education, actively explore the new teaching mode adopted in music art class, give full play to students' enthusiasm and initiative in music beauty classroom teaching, pay attention to the cultivation of emotional values, and play the role of the main channel of aesthetic education in music beauty classroom.
5. Carry out various artistic activities.
Interest is the best teacher. Schools should set up some interest groups according to their needs and possibilities, appropriately select instructors, strengthen training and counseling, expand training fields, cultivate students' interests, and give students room to develop their specialties freely. Art exhibitions are held regularly to encourage students to participate in various competitions such as sound, sports and beauty.
In short, in order to better adapt to the teaching reform and promote quality education, we still need everyone's joint efforts from top to bottom to create a better situation for art education in rural primary schools.
