Take science and technology as the guide to promote the rapid development of schools
In recent years, the school attaches great importance to the scientific and technological innovation of young people. In school education, we should focus on improving teachers and students' innovative consciousness and practical ability, train high-quality builders and successors in the 2 1 century, constantly strengthen the implementation and management of science and technology education, vigorously implement the "science and education project", and follow the principle of "one, two, three combinations" (that is, bring science and technology education into the unified planning of school education and teaching, adhere to classified guidance, and promote it layer by layer, The combination of regular teaching and activity carrier, positive education and environmental edification, and school education and community education will realize the serialization of science and technology education content, standardization of management, diversification of methods, diversification of bases and diversification of activity themes, and gradually embark on a new way of science and technology education that is in line with the actual situation of the school and has strong timeliness.
Construct a strategic position from a strategic height and vigorously promote science and technology education.
As the saying goes, "the train runs fast, all by the front belt." Yulin middle school's science and technology education can achieve such impressive results, thanks to the correct thinking and effective measures of school leaders. Under the unified leadership of the Social Affairs Bureau of High-tech Zone, Yulin Middle School has established a leading group for scientific and technological activities, headed by principal Tang, vice principal and assistant principal. All four campuses have appointed directors of teaching departments as science and technology leaders, and each campus has a science and technology counselor (the school has a chief science and technology counselor, and each campus has a science and technology counselor), and organized science and technology interest groups such as physics, chemistry, biology, geography and information technology, and each group has a special teacher's guidance. In 2008, the school also hired more than experts from Sichuan University 10 to give lectures and guidance on 22 scientific and technological research projects. Secondly, the school's teaching department takes the lead, and the guidance office, the moral education office, the Youth League Committee, the class teacher, the science and technology counselor and the classroom teachers work closely together to promote everyone's participation in science and technology education and strive to be science and technology workers.
The school attaches great importance to the cultivation of the quality of scientific and technological counselors. In addition to regularly inviting off-campus science and technology counselors and related experts and scholars to the school for training guidance and experience exchange, the school has also formulated a long-term mechanism for continuing education of science and technology counselors according to the actual situation of the school, and purchased tens of thousands of books and video materials for self-study of science and technology counselors. The school actively trains the team of science and technology counselors, and actively selects outstanding counselors and teachers to participate in national, provincial and municipal science and technology education and training.
Subtle and rich scientific and cultural environment
The main body of scientific and technological activities in middle schools is students. How to stimulate students' innovative ability and actively participate in scientific and technological innovation activities is the key to the activities. The school attaches great importance to the influence of the environment, creates a strong scientific and technological cultural atmosphere for students, cultivates innovative cultural awareness, creates a good humanistic environment for scientific and technological education, enables the flowers and trees on campus to cultivate students' sentiment, and pays more attention to embodying distinctive characteristics of scientific and technological education.
Technology is everywhere, technology is everywhere. Walking into Yulin Middle School, you will see cutting-edge scientific and technological information on the electronic display screen; There is a publicity column about science and technology in the school window; In the school library, there are hundreds of magazines and books about science and technology. You can fly freely in the ocean of science and technology.
The school also designated March and September as science and technology activity months. Every month of scientific and technological activities, school leaders personally preside over the mobilization meeting of the whole school, encouraging every student to "participate-experience-innovate". During the month of scientific and technological activities, the school held exhibitions of scientific and technological papers and inventions, organized students to read popular science books and periodicals, organized students to visit planetarium and municipal science and technology center, broadcast scientific and technological movies through the dual-control media system, organized various scientific and technological interest groups to hold series of activities such as scientific and technological creation, invention and production competitions, and organized outstanding students to participate in the Chengdu Science and Technology Innovation Competition.

In the past two years, through the publicity and commendation of Science and Technology Activity Month, all teachers and students in the school are concerned about and actively participate in science and technology activities.
Organic infiltration enriches the connotation of science and technology education.
In order to improve the quality of science and technology education, schools must take the classroom as the main battlefield and use classroom teaching to organically infiltrate science and technology education. In class, teachers attach great importance to the stimulation and protection of students' creativity, so that students can think boldly, speak boldly and do boldly. Because teachers know that students' whimsy is the germination of scientific and technological consciousness and creativity. For example, after physics students learned the knowledge of momentum and cushioning, the teacher organized students to carry out innovative experiments-designing anti-seismic replacement devices for eggs. The students' designs are bold and novel, and many anti-seismic buffer devices have successfully protected eggs falling from the fourth floor. After learning automatic control, inspired by the teacher, many students thought of using automatic control to save energy and control speed. With the guidance and help of teachers, students invented "personalized energy controller for commercial office area" and "automatic locomotive oil control valve". Biology students learned about the nutritional components of plants. Inspired by the teacher, the students made a "new soilless culture device" from waste materials. Students majoring in geography studied the causes of climate formation. Teachers organize students to investigate the relocation of Chengdu industrial zone and the weather changes in Chengdu ... The cultivation of innovative thinking makes science and technology education "sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently", which invisibly improves students' scientific and technological awareness and practical ability and stimulates their creative potential.
Society is a big classroom for students to practice and innovate. In addition to attaching importance to the classroom, the school also makes full use of various social resources. The school is located in Chengdu National High-tech Development Zone, where colleges, research institutes and high-tech industries are concentrated. Making full use of rich social resources can broaden students' horizons, develop their intelligence and stimulate their creativity. The school organizes students to visit the high-tech doctoral park, and further cultivates and guides students' scientific and technological inventions by using doctoral workstations and laboratory resources in colleges and universities. On the basis of obtaining patents this year, we will train more experts in scientific and technological inventions to provide opportunities and foundations for students to become diversified talents. The school specially hired experts from colleges and universities to teach students, and contacted several physical and chemical laboratories of Sichuan University as long-term experimental bases for students, which broadened students' horizons and strengthened their practical ability. The students' whimsy became an invention under the guidance of experts.
Increase investment, fruitful and remarkable achievements.
Funding is the guarantee for schools to carry out science and technology education. The school increased from 654.38 million yuan in 2006 to more than 600,000 yuan in 2008. The funds are mainly used for teachers' scientific and technological training, college experts' guidance to students, scientific and technological project funds, scientific and technological project awards, etc. The school has formulated a set of perfect assessment system and reward system for scientific and technological work, which has aroused the enthusiasm of teachers to participate in scientific and technological work. More and more teachers have joined the team of scientific and technological work, and the school's scientific and technological activities have made remarkable achievements.
From 2004 to 2006, the school won the group grand prize for three consecutive years, and the school won the grand prize trophy.
In 2007, the school won the first prize of two groups, 1 group second prize and 1 group third prize.
In 2008-2009, Yulin Middle School participated in many scientific and technological competitions in Chengdu, Sichuan and the whole country, and achieved the best results in history. The school won four first prizes and two second prizes 1 for scientific and technological activity groups, 969 students won various scientific and technological awards, and 80 teachers won honorary titles such as excellent counselors and gold medal coaches. Among them, the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition won the second prize, the International Youth Innovation Competition (Sichuan Division) won two gold medals, two silver medals and four bronze medals, and the Sichuan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition won the provincial first prize 15 person-times. The total number of award-winning projects ranked second in the province's high school group, with 23 person-times in the province, and the school's scientific and technological achievements once again set a new historical record.
Postscript: The road to education has a long way to go, and there is no end to scientific and technological innovation. Yulin Middle School will take today's achievements as the starting point of tomorrow, persistently take the road of scientific and technological innovation, educate today's children with a vision for the future, and strive to cultivate builders and successors who meet the needs of future social development!
