How good or less is the homework?
Education has always been a commonplace topic, and it is destined to be a constant focus of attention. On the eve of summer vacation, our reporter went deep into some primary schools in our city for more than 20 days and learned that our respondents chose primary schools because primary schools are a shaping period for a person. "If you don't accumulate silicon, it won't reach a thousand miles." The first step for naive children to enter the knowledge gate is primary education. "Only when the cornerstone is solid can it be built firmly" fully illustrates the importance of primary education. We will make an in-depth analysis in the form of education reception room, which is divided into three parts: "homework", "method" and "tutorial" to restore the true colors of primary education. The first lecture on homework in the reception room of education-homework, how good or how little? Our reporter intern Li Ting Recently, Mr. Zheng was stumped by his daughter's elementary school math problem. After asking for help from relatives and friends and looking up information online, he couldn't help but have doubts. Some exercises are quite difficult to tutor, so he is in a hurry. what should he do ? How good or less homework? These problems may be a common headache for many parents. Students' homework seems to be only a small element in education, but it involves the cooperation and coordination of schools, teachers and parents. It is also a small epitome of different education methods for children. As the opening work of educational talk, the homework only hopes to take this opportunity to collect opinions from all sides, see through educational problems and answer educational questions. Less work but good skills is a problem. According to the implementation opinions of the education department to standardize school-running behavior and promote quality education, "No written homework is left in the first and second grades of primary school, and the homework in other grades is controlled within 1 hour every day. Encourage the exploration of advanced teaching methods, improve the quality of education by improving classroom teaching effect and students' learning efficiency within the specified teaching time, and advocate teachers to arrange exploratory and practical assignments. "In response to the repeated decompression orders of the Ministry of Education, the school began to work hard on homework, hoping to change the situation that there was too much homework in the past but it was not refined, and the taste was like chewing wax. However, this has attracted many parents' doubts. During the interview, some teachers said that it was difficult to implement the regulations: "There are many homework and many complaints; Less homework, less complaints; In addition, children's understanding and absorption of knowledge are different, and this time is difficult to control ... "Parents: too little homework, extra books. "With so little homework, how can children improve? Just practicing in class is definitely not enough. I don't know if the teacher is lazy. " Mr. Wu, who picked up the children at the gate of a primary school, was full of doubts. "My child's grades are not very good. If you don't strengthen your practice, your grades will be worse. Listening to the children, the homework assigned by the teacher varies from person to person. Students with good grades assign more homework, while students with poor grades assign less homework, so I have a lot of complaints and feel unfair. If this is not discrimination against my child, he will feel more inferior in his heart. In that case, why don't I start my own business and buy some information for my children? " Subsequently, the reporter conducted a random interview, and there are not a few parents who hold this mentality. In the absence of much homework at school, some parents will buy back some extracurricular tutoring books for their children to learn. Child: If you assign tasks again, I'll muddle along. "Even if the school doesn't assign homework, my parents will never let me be idle." On June 22, the reporter saw the small money who lives in Minsheng Garden Community. Although school was over in the afternoon, Xiaoqian, a sophomore, didn't want to go home. "I have a pile of homework waiting for me when I get home. I can do less when I go back ... "said Xiaoqian. Compared with parents' complaints and doubts about the small amount of school homework, in the interview, many children told reporters a different kind of bitterness: school homework and homework are changing and can't escape! "I do my homework late every day, but I do it on purpose." Xiaoqian said this. In the interview, the reporter found that, like Xiaoqian, there are still many children who practice procrastination. In fact, the little guys are very clear that mom and dad are distressed that they stay up late, so their parents are reluctant. So they try their best to muddle along: "At 9: 30 in the evening, my mother will ask me to go to bed, and even if there is endless homework, my parents will help me worry." Lan Lan, a third-grade student, revealed her coup to the reporter. Teacher: Less writing and more practice. Xiao Tian, a first-grade Chinese teacher at Yuhong Primary School in the urban area, told the reporter: "We advocate less but better homework so that children can learn and share in happiness. Like the lack of knowledge in the first grade, I don't assign homework. The quantity is really small, how to ensure the quality? This requires the cooperation of parents. We let children verbally express what they have learned in a day to their parents, turn knowledge into words, and then parents will test the feedback. " Teacher Chang Ning Yan of the Chinese Teaching and Research Group of Beitang Experimental Primary School said: "Without written homework, we have appropriately increased some practical homework. For example, our reading record list activity allows children to read by themselves, then write down their feelings after reading, and can also paste reading photos. Finally, it will be evaluated, which will greatly stimulate children's interest in learning. " At present, primary schools advocate hierarchical education, and Weinan Iron School with its own characteristics is a typical example. Dzhanis, a fourth-grade math teacher at the school, said, "We first position our children, then set goals, and then' tailor-made' our homework. For students with learning difficulties, arrange basic knowledge homework and emphasize encouragement; For middle school students, the main training is thinking ability, emphasizing small steps and more feedback; As for the top students, they mainly focus on difficult questions. In this way, the homework is arranged at different levels, so that students can never tire of learning, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed on a small basis, and the effect is obvious. " The orientation of parents must be clear. In fact, teaching children to be talents is the biggest advantage of family education. However, some parents "foster strengths and avoid weaknesses" and position themselves on the role and responsibility of teaching children cultural knowledge, making the family a "second classroom" in the school. Because parents don't understand the teaching rules, teaching contents and teaching methods, they often feel powerless, which becomes the so-called "strong self-control". Although some parents have tasted the "sweetness" from the temporary phenomenon of children's academic performance improvement, they have laid hidden dangers for their long-term development and all-round development. Parents with conflicting views: Mr. Wang, a wishful citizen, said, "Now the school advocates parenting education, hoping that we can be crutches for children. Usually I am busy at work, but I still take time to accompany my children to finish my homework at night. I think we can help the children when they encounter problems. After all, primary school problems can still be dealt with. But the reality is that every time I teach children, they are very resistant, saying that I am different from the teacher and don't want to listen to me. Anyway, the result is no problem. Is my solution to the problem out of date? And now the problems of primary school students are too advanced, and I am a little overwhelmed. " Mr. Wang's sigh may have expressed the voices of many parents. They are eager to help children solve problems and accompany them to overcome difficulties, but they are often thankless. Some parents even lamented: I just want to do my part to help my children. Is this wrong? Teacher: It is counterproductive to stand up for others. Teacher Wang of Beitang Experimental Primary School said: "I can understand the mentality that parents want to participate in their children's learning process and help their children develop. However, I still hope that parents can define their own position and don't take themselves as crutches for their children's study. For homework, we don't need parents' correction guidance. We just need you to watch the children finish and understand their mastery. After all, face-to-face reform is our task, and all you have to do is be a supervisor rather than an intervener. "Teacher Zhu of Yuhong Primary School is also very worried about the strong intervention and blind positioning of parents. He warned parents that it is understandable that parents love children and education, but they must also be wise. At present, the curriculum reform is strong and the knowledge is updated quickly. When children use the original knowledge framework to teach at school, it is inevitable that they will have problems with teachers, and it is easier for children to fall into an increasingly confused situation. "I don't understand the new textbooks, which makes parents' guidance to their children not in place. If parents really don't want to' stand by', they should reposition themselves and strive to transform into' learning parents'. Improve your understanding and knowledge level through training or self-study related to the new curriculum and new curriculum standards. "Sun Yingfeng, president of Weinan Iron School, said. It is understood that except for the sixth grade, the old textbooks are still used in primary schools, and the other five grades all use the textbooks published by Beijing Normal University. The new textbooks have changed a lot, and the most important feature is that they are enlightening and extensible. The reporter looked through the fourth grade math textbook. The book is divided into eight chapters. It is no longer the old-fashioned multiplication and division operation and the understanding of large numbers and negative numbers. There are also interesting mathematical knowledge such as the change, direction and position of graphics. Moreover, knowledge is more inclined to life. For example, the chapter about negative numbers in life does not start directly with numbers like-1 and -2, but with the concept of temperature. Chinese teaching materials are more systematic and rich. The Chinese textbook for Grade Three is divided into 12 chapters, and each chapter revolves around a theme. For example, the first chapter focuses on color, with a poem at the beginning and two articles describing color in life at the back. Poetry and articles are followed by divergent topics. If you like any color, please add a paragraph after the poem. To sum up, there are specific assignments, such as word formation and recitation. "The new textbook strives to make students understand the close relationship between mathematics and nature and human society, so as to acquire important mathematical knowledge necessary for adapting to future social life and further development," said Zhu, deputy director of the political department of Yuhong Primary School. Niu Laoshi, a fifth-grade Chinese teacher at Weinan Iron Primary School, said: "The new textbook requires high standards, which not only tests students' foundation, but also tests teachers' ability. At first, our teachers were at a loss. The textbooks of Beijing Normal University need teachers to combine their own content to explore problems and knead knowledge and skills into all-encompassing articles. This requires teachers to have good professional quality, and also requires teachers to learn independently and sum up methods in practice. However, on the whole, the new textbooks are still progressive. After all, today's children have made great progress in intelligence and moral education, and the old textbooks can't keep up with the rhythm. " "Textbooks have changed, and exercises have also changed. Our parents really can't adapt, and some knowledge just can't be tutored. "Mr. Shang, a citizen, has expressed the voices of many parents.
