First, profound cultural heritage.
Nanjing Senior High School is a famous school with a history of 138. Its name comes from Zhu's famous sentence "Learn from the south and take its essence". It is a prestigious school with a long history and the first batch of high-quality demonstration high school construction projects in Jiangsu Province. Nanjing's new architecture, which integrates ecology, humanities and digitalization, has unique layout, modern central axis highlights the vitality of the school, and the building is magnificent and beautiful. The historical axis exudes an intoxicating academy atmosphere, and the building is simple and heavy. Walking into the campus is like walking into an elegant and famous garden. The pavilions, waterside pavilions, ancient wells of the academy, ancient and famous trees, stele gallery, arrow torch gate and the bell tower of Tibetan scriptures all show the profound cultural heritage of Nanjing high school. From the former Nanjing Academy to today's famous schools in the south of the Yangtze River, there are traces of history and culture, as well as the value pursuit of education by Nanjing people in previous dynasties. Nanjing people believe that "education is a cultural process." Culture is the symbol of the existence of education, the reflection of the essence of education, the embodiment of educational tradition and the core of educational development. Nanjing Senior Middle School adheres to the educational proposition that "school development is the value growth under the guidance of culture", and establishes schools with culture, prospers schools with culture, and makes value guidance an inexhaustible motive force for school development. The school motto of "loyalty, forgiveness and diligence" and the tradition of practical use have a long history. A large number of outstanding alumni, such as Huang Yanpei, Lu, Jin Liqun, etc., show the cultural genes and feelings of home and country in Nanjing education. Guide Nanjing students to understand the value of life, shape noble feelings and achieve the beauty of life.
The couplets of academies in Nanjing campus show the traditional spirit of academy education, which is poetic, profound and refreshing, and all become classics. At the school gate, the boulder of "Southern Teacher makes a brilliant apprentice and wins in the elite" tells students what kind of school you enter and what kind of person you will become. The "Zheng Xue Pavilion" in the center of the campus, "Students correctly understand and do things in a down-to-earth manner", tells students what the purpose of your study is and what goals you should work towards. On the other hand, there is a "book kiosk" at the corner of the modern axis and the historical axis of the campus. The famous saying "I forget my boss more than I know, and reading is fun and leisurely" tells students how to study.
Second, advanced ideas lead.
In the new era, Nanjing Senior Middle School takes the "Nanjing temperament" of "having the ability to express ideas, having the responsibility to dare to take responsibility, loving and tolerant" as its educational goal, and constantly innovates and explores. "Let culture lead the development of the school is the guiding ideology of the school", and "Culture leading, quality-oriented, brand building and overall improvement" is the development strategy of the school. The century-old school history is a cultural gene, and the culture of Nanjing Academy thrives. According to the tasks and objectives of the development in the new period, we should develop Nanjing culture, establish the educational concept of "paying attention to the happiness of teachers and students and achieving a better life", clarify the educational goal of "cultivating Nanjing temperament and cultivating future strongmen", "reconstructing middle school life with aesthetic education, making school education move towards aesthetic realm" and "cultivating students' core values with school culture and realizing the fundamental task of moral education". Nanjing High School is born here with "taking root in China". The school-running concept of Nanjing High School has made me realize the origin of the impressive achievements of about 50 students winning the first prize of the National Olympic Games every year, about 100 students passing the independent entrance examination of key universities, about 10 students passing Tsinghua Peking University and about 50 students passing the first-class universities in Europe and America.
Third, unique curriculum construction.
Under the guidance of advanced school-running ideas, Nanjing Senior High School has formed a development road of "reconstructing middle school life with aesthetic education and making school education move towards aesthetic realm", the construction of curriculum base is in full swing, and the "two-axis, three-level and five-domain" grand aesthetic education curriculum system is gradually formed and improved. Two axes: the two core axes in the school building layout: the historical axis and the modern axis, which represent the history and future of Nanjing Academy respectively. The two axes also symbolize the hour hand and minute hand of the clock: from "Centennial Academy" to "Damei Nanjing", it means that Nanjing education inherits history, spans time and space and faces the future. Three levels: refers to the framework of school curriculum, which is divided into three levels, namely, the basic curriculum that points to the formation and development of students' basic quality and reflects the most basic requirements of the state for citizens' quality; Develop students' potential, promote students' personality development, and embody the school-running characteristics of expanding courses; A comprehensive course that points to students' independent innovation spirit, research and practice ability and cooperative development consciousness. Five domains: refers to the five fields of curriculum structure, namely humanities and social sciences, scientific and technological innovation, life and health, artistic creation and civil society.
In recent years, Nanjing Senior High School has successively become: the national training base for famous principals and teachers of China Academy of Educational Sciences; Research base of basic education curriculum and teaching material development center of Ministry of Education; The training center of middle school principals of the Ministry of Education visited the base school; Jiangsu ordinary high school curriculum base alliance lead school; Jiangsu ordinary high school curriculum base demonstration school; Jiangsu province basic education forward-looking teaching reform experimental project school; Jiangsu Aesthetic Education Curriculum Base; Jiangsu province micro-technology course base. "Building a study life oriented to international understanding" is an experimental project of forward-looking teaching reform of basic education in Jiangsu Province. "Research on Gu Mingyuan's Basic Education Thought and Practice" is an experimental project of forward-looking teaching reform of Jiangsu's basic education thought. "The construction of independent moral education curriculum system for Nanjing temperament cultivation" is a project to improve the character of primary and secondary school students in Jiangsu Province.
Classroom teaching is the main position of school education. While Nanjing devotes itself to the construction of classroom autonomy, creativity and openness, it further clarifies that the essence of classroom is to promote students' learning and advocate the construction of aesthetic classroom for students to "enjoy". From the perspective of classroom teaching, the school's construction of "aesthetic classroom" is to realize the life integrity of every Nanjing student. The school held an open teaching seminar on "aesthetic classroom", aiming at carrying out the philosophical proposition of "doing a good job in education concerned with the happiness of teachers and students", opening up the development path of the school in the new period of "reconstructing middle school life with aesthetic education" and promoting school education to the aesthetic realm with the discipline construction of aesthetic classroom. All disciplines are striving to form a unique curriculum system. Such as "exploration and reappearance design of lost artifacts", "geographical discovery" study tour, "orchid and culture" and so on.
As President Yang Peiming of Nanjing Senior Middle School said, "The most fundamental purpose of education is to cultivate people's pursuit of value, pay attention to the happiness of teachers and students, and let students get rid of the shackles of themselves and move towards a broader spiritual highland." "Without love, there is no education, without interest, there is no learning, teaching and educating people imperceptibly, and students grow up in activities." Nanjing's curriculum culture embodies the characteristics of harmony and tolerance, gives people a pleasant aesthetic feeling everywhere, cultivates the temperament of teachers and students, and breeds the wireless pursuit of beauty in the hearts of teachers and students.
Fourth, solid scientific research guarantee.
At present, there are some misunderstandings about educational research: first, educational research only writes papers and projects, which has little effect on the development and improvement of teachers; Second, education and scientific research work is to respond to the school's evaluation, which is the school's business; Third, the key to school work is teaching, not examination results, and it is not necessary to make great efforts in teaching and scientific research. There are three reasons for these misunderstandings: first, the transitional utilitarian orientation of education; Second, the short-sighted thinking of educational development; Third, there is a lack of scientific understanding of the ways to improve the quality of education and teaching.
Nanjing Middle School adheres to the development concept of "scientific research develops teachers, teachers develop students, and teachers and students develop schools". Its teaching and scientific research work has achieved three adherences: adhering to one principle: overcoming utilitarianism; Adhere to a magic weapon: grassroots research; Back to a source: classroom teaching. "Full participation, lower focus, and three courses (topics, courses, and classrooms) are linked to ensure that teaching and scientific research work takes root.
At the same time, Nanjing Middle School pays attention to scientific research and training based on quality improvement. The teaching and research group formulates a three-year development plan for the discipline; Teachers make three-year development plans for individual majors; Collective teaching and research mechanism based on teaching improvement (teaching and research group activities, lesson preparation group activities); Research on teaching improvement based on big data analysis (mathematics group, foreign language group, physics group, geography group); Research team of teaching and research group based on curriculum development; Research team of head teachers based on class management optimization: project research team based on the development of grade departments. 20 16 mingyuan teacher development center and excellent teacher workshop were established in Nanjing to fully promote teachers' professional development.
Some enlightenment to our education and teaching;
First of all, to improve the quality of teaching, we must have advanced ideas to guide.
Ci Hai (1989) has two interpretations of the word "concept", one is the result of opinions, thoughts and thinking activities, and the other is "theory and concept (Greek)". Usually refers to ideas. Sometimes it also refers to the general image left by appearances or objective things in the human brain. "(Cihai 1367). Ideas are related to ideas. Ideas that rise to the rational level are called "ideas". Have an idea first, then the correct idea becomes an idea, and then the idea is treated and becomes an idea. In my opinion, the so-called concept in education and teaching work is no wonder a kind of pursuit and value orientation of education and teaching. An advanced and advanced concept will inevitably lead to great thinking and pursuit of education. Nanjing Senior Middle School's pursuit of beauty to reconstruct modern campus life, to run an education that pays attention to the happiness of teachers and students, to run a school that people are satisfied with and to build a famous school in Gansu are all the pursuit of running a school under the guidance of advanced concepts. Only under the guidance of advanced teaching concepts can we have a higher pursuit and goal for the quality of education. "Vigorous classroom" and "Let learning lead thinking" are the basic requirements of classroom teaching and the concrete practice based on advanced concepts. In recent years, the quality of college entrance examination in our school has advanced by leaps and bounds, which is inseparable from the guidance of advanced concepts. Stagnation will inevitably lead to retrogression, and KAI knows this truth well. Only by doing middle school and doing middle school can we improve the teaching quality today and even in the future.
Second, to improve the quality of teaching, we must give full play to the strength of the team.
As the saying goes, "One tree can't make a forest" and "everyone paddles to open a big boat" embodies the principle of giving full play to the team's quantity. Within the unit, everyone is an independent individual, and everyone's understanding and views on the same thing are not necessarily the same. Some people are very supportive of the goals and tasks set by the unit, some people may feel indifferent, and some people may be contradictory. Some people may even disagree with your task arrangement and path method, thinking that their ideas are more scientific, direct and effective than yours. In education and teaching, we have grade group, teaching and research group and lesson preparation group. The main function of establishing these teams is to give full play to the number of collectives. What we have to do is to seek common ground while reserving differences, gather strength, and achieve synergy and effectiveness. Since we are in a school, a grade group, a teaching and research group and a lesson preparation group, our goals and pursuits are the same. This requires us to abandon individualism, and everyone should think in one place, work hard in one place, and work together for the determined goals. Don't tear down the podium and don't lose heart. Consult with * * * if you have any questions, and try to do it with * * *. As Nanjing Middle School said, "Successful teams have no losers, and failed teams have no winners". What we need is this positive team spirit. To improve the teaching quality, we must give full play to the strength of the team.
Third, to improve the quality of teaching, we must do a good job in teaching and research.
Teaching and scientific research are the key factors to improve the quality of school teaching. As far as the current teaching and scientific research work is concerned, some people regard it as an effective way to improve their own ability, some people regard it as a means to reserve professional title evaluation conditions, and some people do it just to complete some school regulations. Because of the different goals and value pursuits of teaching and scientific research, this work is also carried out differently. What we have to do now is to correct the attitude of teaching scientific research, not to do scientific research for the sake of scientific research, and not to engage in fake scientific research. Overcome the utilitarianism of teaching and scientific research, and really carry out teaching and scientific research. In order to do this work well, we need to find the breakthrough point of teaching and scientific research. The teaching and research work in Nanjing senior high school has given us a good inspiration, that is, "grass-roots research". As Xiaodong Meng said in the article "Grass-roots Research in Education", "Grass-roots Research" contains three meanings: one is "taking root in hometown", the other is "group participation" and the third is "laying a solid foundation". Grass-roots research is a practical trend and way for teachers to carry out teaching research. Practical problems in research teaching of "grass-roots research" The real problem in education may not be profound knowledge or pure theory, but it can directly affect students. This kind of research is just like civilian life, instead of living in a palace with high walls and red tiles [Jiangsu Education] in June 2008. As an ordinary high school teacher, you should have the feeling of rooted education. We are surrounded by materials that can be studied, the way of teaching and learning, the relationship between teachers and students, the design and achievement of three-dimensional teaching objectives, and the construction of students' self-management. These are practical research materials that each of us can grasp. Where there is a heart, there will be learning, from teaching to teaching; From students to students. Be a real "grassroots researcher". To improve the quality of teaching, we must do a good job in teaching and scientific research.
Fourth, to improve the quality of teaching, there must be a strong institutional guarantee.
The development of everything has external and internal driving forces. Internal driving force is a kind of motivation and guidance for practitioners themselves, while external driving force is a kind of potential driving force from outside things. To improve the quality of education and teaching, on the one hand, it needs the efforts of every teacher, and also needs the strong institutional guarantee of the school. At present, there are many methods in our school, such as the accounting of teaching results, the evaluation of teachers' teaching performance, the evaluation of college entrance examination results, and the evaluation of teachers' senior titles promotion. These are the external driving forces to improve the quality of teaching. What we need to do is to implement various systems and give full play to the guarantee role of the systems. When teachers feel that the system is fair to them, as long as they are willing to do things, they will have good returns. I think our work will be hard and positive. At the same time, in line with the educational reform, we should constantly innovate working ideas and methods, improve various rules and regulations, and keep pace with the times. Only in this way can we be convinced of the system and engage in education and teaching better.
In a word, studying in Nanjing Senior Middle School is just a way for us to accept the guidance of advanced teaching concepts and innovate our working ideas. We also need to be rooted in the local reality. After all, North and South are different. In the practice of education and teaching, what we have to do is to absorb the advanced ideas and practices of Nanjing Middle School, organically integrate them into our practice, and let them take root. Nanjing has its culture, and we also have our culture. What we lack is the refinement and application of culture. Under the current background of big education, education needs guidance, education needs practice, education needs innovation, and we need to get rid of the old thinking mode. Education needs to pay attention to the individualized development of every student, so that every student can become a person needed by society, and this need is different at different levels and from different angles. Education needs to cultivate elite talents, but education cannot be turned into utilitarian "hunting for English" selection. Of course, educational fairness is not a simple thinking of cutting peaks and filling valleys. It is the responsibility of our basic education to carry out quality education and ability training for more grassroots citizens.
Finally, apply Plato's famous words to explain education: education leads a person from a humble position to a lofty position; Education is to guide a person from fallacy to truth; Education is to lead a person from darkness to light. We are on the way to realize the ideal of running a school for educators. Do things with your heart and educate people with love! To encourage yourself.
I sincerely thank the Municipal Education Bureau for setting up a good learning platform for us and giving us the opportunity to go out and learn advanced educational concepts and improve our own quality. thank you
