In the past 20th century, science and technology developed rapidly. Recognizing that science and technology are the scientific truth of the primary productive forces. In the past 20 centuries, two theoretical achievements, such as relativity and quantum theory, have been produced, and three scientific projects, namely Manhattan Project, Apollo Moon Landing Project and Human Genome Project, have been implemented. Quark model, BIGBANG model, DNA double helix model and earth plate model have come out one after another. The emergence and development of five landmark technologies: nuclear energy, artificial satellite, genetic engineering development, PC, Internet and nanotechnology. Develop biotechnology, information technology, new energy, new materials, aerospace, ocean and other high-tech fields. It will undoubtedly bring education into a brand-new 2 1 century.
2 1 century, mankind will usher in the era of knowledge economy, and the soul of knowledge economy is innovation. In the era of knowledge economy, a country's innovation ability (including knowledge innovation ability and technological innovation ability) is related to the future and destiny of the Chinese nation. With the rise of knowledge economy and the development of China's modernization, the important task of cultivating people's innovative spirit and creativity is increasingly placed in front of our educators. The new era strongly calls for an educational theme: innovative education.
Second, the development of science and technology calls for educational innovation.
Innovation is the highest expression of human nature and essential strength. The history of human civilization is actually a history of human innovation, that is, the history of human beings constantly transforming the world and themselves, so as to continuously obtain development and progress. Without the spirit of innovation, the vitality of the nation will wither, the society will stagnate, the country will fall behind, it will be beaten, and it will be eliminated by the trend of world civilization development. Especially today, human society is experiencing an unprecedented profound change-from the era of industrial economy to a brand-new era of knowledge economy based on knowledge innovation and creative application. The era of knowledge economy requires that everyone who enters the society and participates in economic activities should have certain innovative qualities. The primary resources for developing knowledge economy are talents and knowledge. And people's innovative quality is the source of the era of knowledge economy. The quality of workers affects the process of knowledge innovation and determines the quality and quantity of knowledge economy. Without people's innovative quality, knowledge economy will become a tree without water and roots. Therefore, to create knowledge economy, we must start from the source of innovation, explore people's wisdom and potential, and improve people's innovative quality. Today's primary and secondary school students are the masters of the knowledge economy era in the 2 1 century. Facing the future, it is a severe task for our basic educators to implement innovative education and provide enough high-quality talents to enhance the country's innovative ability.
Thirdly, the development of educational innovation needs teaching reform.
As early as the 1920s, Mr. Tao Xingzhi, an educator in China, actively advocated and practiced creative education. Since the mid-1980s, creative education experiments have been carried out in primary and secondary schools in China. 2 1 At the end of the century, in order to adapt to the era of knowledge economy, creative education was endowed with new connotation of the times and developed into innovative education.
To implement innovative teaching, we must reform the teaching content, teaching methods, teaching means and teaching forms. The following are some thoughts on the reform of teaching methods and teaching forms:
1, from injection teaching to heuristic teaching. Injection teaching focuses on mastering knowledge and conclusions, and its teaching is a process of teaching and instilling knowledge to students with teachers as the center. Students' learning is passive, in mechanical recitation, repeated imitation and a lot of practice. Heuristic teaching emphasizes the process of discovering knowledge, which can not only enable students to obtain learning results, but also guide students to learn to learn. Through heuristic teaching, students are encouraged to think actively, ask questions actively, be creative, express their independent opinions, and creatively analyze and solve problems with knowledge.
2. Change from closed teaching to open teaching. The traditional exam-oriented teaching is a closed system, which separates teaching from social life, and students are bound in the classroom, seeking the only correct standard answer around teachers, textbooks and accepting ready-made knowledge conclusions. Innovative teaching is an open system, which is characterized by open thinking, encouraging all kinds of hobbies, developing individuality, guiding students to think independently and from all directions, being able to understand the same thing from different angles and being good at making the best choice from various conclusions. Open teaching also needs the opening of teaching space, so that students can go out of campus, into society and into nature. Provide a broader stage for releasing students' creative potential.
3. Change from static teaching to open teaching. The mode of static teaching is "teachers speak systematically and students listen quietly". Students have few practical opportunities and poor hands-on ability. Innovative teaching should be a dynamic teaching based on students' autonomous activities. Teachers are required to design and scientifically organize various teaching activities, combine implicit thinking activities with explicit perception activities, language communication activities and hands-on operation activities, and combine the cultivation of students' creative thinking ability with the improvement of innovative operation ability, so that students can develop their desire for innovation and increase their creative ability from the practical activities of hands-on brain learning.
4. Change from isolated teaching to cooperative teaching. The first premise of implementing cooperative teaching is to change the autocratic teacher-student relationship in traditional teaching and establish a democratic teacher-student relationship of mutual respect, mutual trust and mutual understanding. Teachers should be good at creating a relaxed, harmonious and lively teaching atmosphere and providing free psychological space for students' creative thinking. Let every student actively participate in teaching activities and get enough opportunities to express their thoughts and feelings and show their talents and interests.
5, from the main wisdom teaching to perfect teaching. Teaching process is not only a process of mastering knowledge and developing intelligence, but also a process of complete human growth and formation. It is a process of enriching and sublimating students' physical and mental qualities in many ways. Therefore, classroom teaching needs a complete humanistic education, and what we want to pursue is to let students get a complete life, rather than the traditional teaching of coping with exams with intelligence. Creative teaching makes teaching move from subjective wisdom to perfection. Teachers should have books in their hearts, more people and complete people. We should pay attention to people everywhere from the perspective of development and growth, and pay attention to the improvement of people's overall quality. Only in the teaching process of promoting people's all-round physical and mental development can students' innovative quality be fully highlighted.
Innovation is the key to innovative education. Educators should shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultivating innovative talents. Break through the traditional education mode, constantly explore the road of education reform and innovation, contribute to the rise of China in the 2 1 century, cultivate people's innovative spirit and creativity, thereby enhancing the country's innovative ability and casting the soul of national progress.
