In March, 2003, Jiefang Road Middle School in Zigong City organized a teacher forum for curriculum reform of "New Curriculum, New Concept and New Method". The teachers and students of the whole school gathered in the lobby of Century Constellation Hotel, and the leaders of Zigong Education Bureau and experts from Zigong Education College were present for guidance. Teachers have come to the stage to give speeches and explain their views and feelings about the new curriculum reform. This is a big collision of ideas, a heart-to-heart communication, an inspiration and reference of methods and models, a "brainstorming" and an academic summit forum of the school. Zigong Education Bureau specially issued work briefing, and Zigong Education College published an album for this purpose in the publication Education and Teaching.
Further promote the transformation of cadres and teachers' ideological concepts. The school has sent more than 40 cadres and teachers to East China Normal University, Hunan University, Middle School affiliated to Peking University, Qingdao Yucai Middle School, Yunnan, Chengdu, Mianyang, Panzhihua, Ya 'an, Nanchong and other places to participate in the study, investigation and discussion related to curriculum reform. After returning to school, these comrades gave special reports and training to the faculty and staff of the whole school to share their thoughts, feelings and gains. The school also invited the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau and experts from the education department to guide the ideas and methods of implementing the new curriculum reform. In April, 2004, Professor Zhang Jixian, the editor-in-chief of the new textbook of Chinese Publishing House, and He Lixin, a researcher from the Provincial Institute of Education, gave a special lecture on "The Concept and Teaching Mode of the New Textbook". In May 2004, Mr. Chen Zaihua from Chengdu was invited to give a speech on happy education. In March 2005, as a co-organizer, Dr. Li Zhenxi, a famous Chinese education expert, was invited to give a lecture on Chinese teaching strategies in curriculum reform.
Paying attention to team building and promoting teachers' professional development under the background of new curriculum reform.
Attach importance to the cultivation of young teachers and regard them as the main force of curriculum reform. Young people are full of energy, vigor, active thoughts, new ideas and easy to accept new things. Therefore, the school regards them as the main force of the new curriculum reform and regards them as the hope in the solution and the pillar of the future. Most young teachers have won the love of students, the praise of parents and the praise of society with their professionalism, solid foundation, advanced ideas and exquisite teaching art, but there are also a few young teachers who are not strong enough in the organization and management of education and teaching, with mediocre methods, poor educational effect, not too fond of learning, not too willing to learn, and their work attitude and ability are not commensurate with the status of the school.
In view of these realities, the school has formulated a training plan for young teachers, and put forward "five more" requirements for young teachers: first, practice more and increase their talents in practice; Second, pay more and improve your comprehensive quality at work; Third, study more and establish the concept of lifelong learning; Fourth, reflect more, which is an important way to succeed; Fifth, more teaching and research, which is the forerunner of guiding education and teaching behavior. Three specific measures have been taken: first, young teachers under the age of 35 should implement a classroom system to ensure that they have enough time to work, study, research and improve; The second is to learn from the teacher, that is, to learn from the class teacher to improve their education level; Worship the backbone of business as a teacher and improve teaching skills; Three, to carry out the basic skills of young teachers (three characters, one word, one machine) competition and classroom teaching competition. There are 4 first prizes, 2 second prizes 15 and 3 third prizes 15. Through the competition, it not only promoted the growth of young teachers, but also promoted the development of curriculum reform in the school.
Vigorously carry out reading activities to meet the requirements of the new curriculum. Teachers should have a brand-new educational concept, reform the traditional teaching behavior, and make major changes in the teaching objectives, functions, structure, content and evaluation. If you don't study, it will be difficult to understand correctly, to apply concretely, and to make new achievements. Therefore, the school requires every faculty member to consciously make time to study theory, arm themselves with scientific theories and improve their ability to control teaching materials.
At the end of 2002, the school arranged reading activities in winter vacation for the first time, requiring each cadre to write two articles, and each teacher to write a reading experience as the first work content of the school inspection. This incident caused quite a stir among teachers in the whole school, especially middle-aged and elderly teachers, and made teachers truly feel that the storm of reform has hit their feet. During the holidays, teachers read one or two books about educational reform, which greatly improved their ideological understanding and truly realized that they would fall behind if they didn't study. Every winter and summer vacation, the school requires cadres to read two monographs on educational theory, and teachers to read at least one, and requires cadres to write two or more papers, experiences or experience articles, and open schools for exchanges at different levels.
On June 5438- 10, 2003, the first collection of teachers' literary theories in the history of Jiefang Road Middle School in Zigong was compiled into a book, and * * * included teachers' articles 154. In March, 2005, the second edition of The Theory of Teachers' Reading Activity Literature was edited into a book. In order to improve the professional level of teachers, the teaching department of the school should edit teaching and research information every semester, such as introducing research-based learning, new curriculum reform ideas, cooperative learning, scientific and technological innovation activities and other information. Each teaching and research group uses the time of teaching and research activities to study.
Strengthen the construction of school teaching hardware to provide guarantee for teachers' study and research. In order to provide reliable and advanced material guarantee for teachers' study and research, the school has increased the investment in running conditions, spending more than 300,000 yuan successively: in order to enjoy the resources of famous schools, a distance education demonstration school affiliated to Peking University was built in the summer of 2002, and this one alone costs more than 50,000 yuan every year; Multimedia classrooms, campus LAN and physics, chemistry and biology laboratories have been built. Each teaching and research section is equipped with a computer, which is convenient for teachers to often study online, make multimedia courseware, prepare lessons electronically and design test papers; Provide printers, scanners, digital cameras and other equipment for the relevant offices of the school, and strive to modernize the offices to facilitate fast and efficient work.
Multi-evaluation-changing the way of classroom evaluation and promoting the formation of a good teaching model for the new curriculum.
The new curriculum reform has brought more profound changes. For teachers, they should not only change their teaching behavior, but also change their daily habits of teaching methods. What are the "good courses" and "excellent courses" under the new curriculum concept? What is its standard? This requires us to re-examine our classroom evaluation with the formation of the new curriculum concept. Traditional teaching evaluation pays attention to teachers' activities, despises students' subjective performance in class and pays attention to cognition. That meticulous teaching design fetters the democracy and openness of teaching.
In the next issue of 2003, the quality class competition held by the school tried to introduce new classroom evaluation standards. According to this standard, there are 3 first prizes, 4 second prizes and 3 third prizes. Its main content has six elements: first, evaluating teaching objectives is the basis of evaluating teaching effect, focusing on evaluating the comprehensiveness, certainty and appropriateness of target design; Second, whether the teaching process can stimulate learning motivation, stimulate students' learning needs and capture valuable teaching resources in the classroom; Third, whether the teaching method has the desire to stimulate learning; Fourth, evaluate the quality of teaching, whether to respect and trust students, and whether to achieve a positive, democratic and harmonious teaching atmosphere; Fifth, evaluate the teaching effect, how students participate and communicate, and whether the emotional atmosphere of teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction is formed; 6. Evaluate the achievement status, and know the achievement of energy goals and whether the promotion of sustainable development is completed after the study. A breakthrough in the evaluation process is to let some students participate in the competition evaluation together with the teacher judges as members of the judges.
This new evaluation method and process can better reflect the concept of quality education, its function is more comprehensive, and the role of teachers is changing. He changed from an original teacher to a promoter, from a manager to a guide, from a condescending person to a "chief among equals", which made our classroom full of vitality and wisdom, and made the classroom happy and happy. The change of evaluation mechanism directly affects the change of teachers' teaching behavior. The teachers in this school have not only changed their teaching concepts, but also changed their teaching methods. The independent, cooperative and interactive classroom model is constantly improving. This new classroom evaluation model is also being implemented and improved.
The research on our Fuxi River has promoted the formation of a good atmosphere for the new curriculum reform.
The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the idea of cultivating new talents with innovative spirit and practical ability. According to the cognitive law of teenagers, the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability can only be cultivated in activities, while research-based learning belongs to the category of comprehensive practical activities in the new curriculum reform. After careful analysis and thinking by the school team, we decided to take our Fuxi River as a long-term student research practice topic. Taking Fuxi River in my hometown as the carrier of research study can be integrated with moral education to cultivate the feelings of loving my hometown. Integration with natural disciplines, so that students can experience, discover and create; Integrating with social science knowledge, shaping students' humanistic spirit and realizing the harmonious and unified development of man, nature and the world; Integrate with information knowledge technology, cultivate students' modern consciousness and become modern people in the new century; Integrating aesthetic education, shaping students' aesthetic education spirit of loving, appreciating and creating beauty. This general project is very inclusive, so that students can learn about it, know it, study it, use it and transform it from different angles, fields and disciplines for a long time during their growth, and lay a good ideological foundation and ability foundation for students to become the trendsetter of Zigong's economic take-off in the 2 1 century.
On March 7, 2003, the school held a grand opening report meeting in the conference room of Century Constellation Hotel. The leaders of Zigong Education Bureau, relevant experts from Zigong Education Institute, all teachers of the school, students of two classes in 2005 and some parents of students attended the class opening activities. Under the guidance of more than 40 teachers in Chinese, biology, history, geography and other disciplines in the school, students of grade 2005 chose topics from life and society, adopted similar scientific research methods, and made the conclusions of the first round of research on June 23, 2003, including organizing institutions, determining sub-topics, making research plans, training guidance, assisting in investigations and group visits, inquiring information, group discussions, and summarizing reports.
The first round of research on Our Fuxi River has promoted the implementation of the new curriculum concept and greatly brainwashed the teachers in this school. It questions the traditional teaching mode centered on teachers, textbooks and knowledge. Many teachers actively transfer the independent, cooperative and inquiry learning methods in research-based learning to their own subject teaching, and study, research and grow together with students, which embodies the value of life.
Students have basically learned the learning method of inquiry learning, cultivated a scientific attitude of learning, being realistic and rigorous, and initially formed the ability to ask, analyze and solve problems. Students have also begun to pay attention to social phenomena, and there have been good teenagers who care about the living environment and write letters to the mayor boldly, which has aroused great discussion in society. The teaching department of the school also edited the relevant materials of the project experiment, students' research papers and investigation reports into a book "Learning starts here, research takes off here", which is used as the school-based teaching material for the comprehensive practice course of the students of grade 2006 in the school. The subject also won the first prize of the first outstanding achievement award of Zigong basic education curriculum reform and the second prize of Zigong teaching achievement award. The students' practical activities won the second prize in the 19th Sichuan Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the first prize in Zigong Science and Technology Innovation Competition.
On September 16, 2004, all members of the 2006 Fuxi River expedition team visited the source of Fuxi River. The whole activity was strongly supported and cared by school leaders. Vice President Lv Zhikang personally led the team, led by the teaching department and the second grade group. After careful preparation, the detailed exploration scheme and safety scheme were formulated, and the patrol route of "Shuanghekou in Fenghuang Township-Shuangxi Reservoir in Rongxian County-Shuangxi Reservoir Peninsula" was determined. With the concerted efforts of the whole team Qi Xin, it was scheduled from 7: 30am to 5: 30pm. The team members inspected the water quality, landforms, vegetation and other conditions at the source of Fuxi, felt the mystery of the source of Shuangxi, learned about the function of Shuangxi Reservoir and the customs of the reservoir area, and conducted an interesting investigation and quiz on puzzle knowledge. This overall source-exploring activity is another new achievement made by the school since it launched the research-based learning project "Our Fuxi River" in grade 2005. Some wonderful scenes in this activity were edited and made into exhibition boards-"Silhouette of Fuxi Seeking Sources", which was exhibited inside and outside the school and was well received by leaders at all levels and all walks of life.
At the beginning of 2006, Fuxi's source investigation reached the following conclusions: 1, the water quality of Shuanghekou in Fenghuang Township is worrying. Dongyuan Weiyuan River is black, smelly and dirty; Xushui River in Xiyuan County, Jacky is seriously polluted by domestic sewage and industrial wastewater. The eutrophication of the East-West River and the wild growth of water hyacinth in a large area directly affect the water quality of the urban section of Fuxi River below. 2. Shuangxi Reservoir is the main source of domestic water in Zigong City, with clear water, flocks of wild ducks, good water quality and high vegetation coverage. 3. The reservoir peninsula has dense forests, lush grass, fresh air and beautiful environment. And put forward the following suggestions to Zigong municipal government and society: 1. Controlling east and west pollution sources is the key to ensure good water quality in Fuxi River. To control the pollution of Weiyuan River in Dongyuan, Zigong Municipal Government and Weiyuan County Government need to coordinate and solve it together. 2. Shuangxi reservoir area should also expand vegetation coverage and strive to maintain ecological balance; Actively develop ecological agriculture, minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and avoid pollution to lakes. (3) No motorboat travel is allowed in Shuangxi Reservoir, and the number of wooden cruise ships is limited; It is forbidden to discharge domestic sewage into the reservoir.
Source exploration activities * * * collated more than 200 pictures, collected nearly 20 physical specimens, and wrote scientific research papers 16.
On June 6th, 2005, the 2007 Fuxi Science and Technology Delegation from Jiefang Road Middle School visited Zigong Sewage Treatment Plant, Jindangdang Weir Gate, Shixian Ancient Town in Fushun County, Honggou Substation in South Sichuan, Yantan Town in yantan district, Zigong City (lunch in Yantan Middle School in Zigong City), Fushun Dengguan Bridge and the mouth of Fuxi River.
