1. Quality Status of Agricultural Workers

China is a large agricultural country with a large population. More than 900 million of the country's population of 654.38+300 million live in rural areas, and farmers' scientific, technological and cultural qualities are low. According to statistics, there are 457 million people engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in China, including 65.438+0.3 billion illiterates, accounting for 22.5%, and 207 million primary school students, accounting for 45.4%. Because China's vocational and technical education is underdeveloped, even farmers with junior high school education have not received systematic vocational training, let alone qualification access. This is the fundamental reason why the popularization and application of agricultural scientific and technological achievements in China is less than 40%. Improving the quality of workers is the requirement of the times and has strategic significance.

2. Current situation of rural labor force

1. shrinking number: according to statistics, the number of migrant workers has reached 250 million, and it is still decreasing every year, and agricultural farmers, especially high-quality young and middle-aged farmers, have dropped sharply; Second, structural imbalance: most of the left-behind farmers in rural areas are elderly people and women, and the average age of agricultural farmers has reached over 50 years old; Third, the quality is worrying: among farmers, the education level of primary school and junior high school accounts for more than 70%; Fourth, there is a shortage of successors: most of the new generation of rural laborers choose to "jump the farm gate" to work in cities after graduation, and agricultural farmers have become "depressions" in national quality. It is difficult to use efficient agricultural facilities and equipment, and it is difficult to transform high-level agricultural scientific and technological achievements, which has become a prominent bottleneck problem restricting the development of modern agriculture. In the future, "who will plant the land and who will promote scientific and technological innovation" will become the top priority.

3. Standards for high-quality new professional farmers

As for the standards of high-quality talents, as early as 1989 1 1 held in Beijing at the international seminar on "education for 2 1 century", Chinese and foreign education experts generally believed that "the quality of future talents should be positive and enterprising; Have strong adaptability in a rapidly changing society, and are willing to establish concepts, behavior patterns and lifestyles that are compatible with social development; Have a high ideological and moral quality and a sense of responsibility to mankind; Have solid basic knowledge and basic skills ... ",which is a brand-new talent standard. For new professional farmers, the standard should be new professional farmers with scientific and technological quality, professional skills and management ability, and they are the undertakers and users of agricultural scientific and technological achievements. As the source of power to promote the construction of modern agriculture, the requirements of the future society are: ① Being able to systematically master the basic theoretical knowledge of agriculture and the cultivation and management techniques of various crops, and having strong practical skills. Be good at learning, dare to experiment and demonstrate, and popularize and apply new varieties and technologies. ③ Strong management ability, keen market insight and product marketing skills. ④ Have good psychological quality and healthy body. Cultivating new farmers is the future of cultivating food security and effective supply of agricultural products, the future of cultivating agricultural modernization, the future of cultivating new socialist countryside and the inevitable choice of realizing modern agricultural development.

4. The necessity of strengthening the quality education of new professional farmers

In today's world, science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds and social competition is becoming increasingly fierce. The focus of competition is the competition for talents. Whoever has mastered high and new technology can take the initiative in the competition. The old economic model with low natural resources and scientific and technological level has been greatly challenged. In the era of knowledge economy, high-quality workers are needed to take the road of economic development of scientific and technological innovation and knowledge growth. Agricultural broadcasting school is the main position to popularize agricultural science and technology, develop and create human resources, improve the quality of agricultural workers and train new agricultural workers to participate in social competition, which is of great significance and necessity to promote agricultural industrialization and modernization.

Second, improve the comprehensive training ability and give full play to the training function.

1. Strengthen the infrastructure construction of the Agricultural Broadcasting School and improve the school-running ability of the Agricultural Broadcasting School.

As a professional organization of farmers' education and training, agricultural broadcasting school is the main channel of broad-spectrum training of agricultural science and technology in China and the main position of farmers' secondary vocational education. In the training of new professional farmers, we should increase investment, strengthen the construction of teaching infrastructure, equip with modern teaching equipment, and keep up with the pace of social development. Therefore, in the process of educational reform and institutional reform, the strength of agricultural broadcasting schools can only be strengthened rather than weakened, and the funding for running schools can only be increased rather than reduced. Strengthen the stamina of running a school and ensure that there are facilities for teaching, tools for going to the countryside, places for learning and bases for practice. Accelerate the pace of informatization of farmers' education and build a public service platform for farmers' lifelong education.

2. Change the concept of education and improve the overall quality of teachers.

As a teacher of Agricultural Broadcasting School, the highest level of teaching method is no longer how much knowledge is taught, but how much it stimulates students' interest in learning, expands students' thinking space, cultivates students' learning and innovation ability, grasps how many agricultural high-tech and practical technologies, and transmits how much information about getting rich through science and technology. Therefore, in order to change the concept of education, teachers in agricultural broadcasting schools should first improve their academic ability and realize the organic combination of cognitive ability and practical ability in accordance with the new talent standards and quality requirements of high-quality workers. Secondly, in the process of teachers' work, we should establish a correct outlook on the world, life and education, strengthen political study and professional study, constantly update our knowledge, and establish a lifelong learning concept to meet the teaching needs in the new period.

3. Strengthen teaching research and train modern agricultural workers.

Agricultural Broadcasting School is an adult secondary school that integrates adult education, vocational education and quality education for agriculture, countryside, farmers, market and society. In the process of teaching and research, we should not only study the learning characteristics of adults, but also pay attention to the improvement of students' professional skills and highlight the cultivation of modern quality. In UNESCO's research reports "Learn to survive-today and tomorrow of world education" and "Education-where wealth lies", the modern quality of workers is described accurately and beautifully: ① Learn to survive; 2 learn to know; 3 learn to do things; 4 learn to live together. Some scholars believe that modern workers or modern people should have the following eight qualities, that is, they can survive, live, cooperate, learn, be responsible, create, care and keep fit. In order to cultivate modern new farmers, Agricultural Broadcasting School should carry out teaching according to the above standards, combined with the reality of Agricultural Broadcasting School and the quality of local farmers.

Third, the effective methods of cultivating new professional farmers in agricultural broadcasting schools

1. Give consideration to broad-spectrum training, skills training (sunshine project training for rural labor force) and farmers' vocational education, actively explore innovative education and training modes, insist on sending teachers to the countryside, make education and training at the doorstep of farmers, closely combine education and training with farming season, production links and key technologies, and let farmers "learn by doing" on the spot to run satisfactory education and training for farmers. Stabilize the existing ranks of professional farmers, establish a qualification access system, increase the training of agricultural vocational training certificates and technical education certificates (green certificates), and at the same time attract rural "second generation" (that is, students who no longer pursue further studies after graduating from junior and senior high schools) to study agriculture and agriculture, encourage college graduates to find jobs and start businesses in agricultural production, and continuously expand the ranks of professional farmers.

2. Adjust and reform the curriculum system, and carry out teaching reform according to quality education.

Agricultural Broadcasting School is developing distance adult education. It is necessary to reform and attach importance to knowledge transmission and neglect ability training, divorced from the actual situation of the times and local social development, establish a scientific curriculum system for adult education, organically combine the subject system, social needs and student development, and scientifically establish the training objectives and levels of talents; Reform teaching materials and teaching contents, organize experts, scholars and educators with practical experience to compile teaching materials suitable for rural adults' learning characteristics, reflect new scientific and technological achievements, and highlight the teaching of new knowledge, skills and technologies; It is necessary to integrate theory with practice, increase practical skills teaching courses and pay attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability.

3. Reform teaching methods and strengthen intuitive teaching.

Agricultural Broadcasting School should give full play to the advantages of network, adhere to the purpose of "four orientations and four services", teach students in accordance with their aptitude, adopt flexible and diverse teaching methods, and run schools with multiple disciplines, channels and levels. Make full use of advanced audio-visual facilities and teaching experimental practice bases, combine lectures with audio-visual images, combine special lectures with case analysis, and combine explanations with operations, constantly improve online media teaching, transform advanced theories into intuitive and perceptual knowledge, stimulate students' interest in learning, make students use them as soon as they learn, and make science and technology popular, interesting and flexible.

4. Joint education and diversified training of talents. Agricultural Broadcasting School should strengthen education reform, take the road of running schools jointly, actively promote the extension of agricultural higher education to rural areas, deepen the reform of enrollment system, explore and recommend large agricultural households and their children to enroll without examination, and conduct targeted enrollment training. Borrowing chickens and laying eggs complement each other. According to the demand of the talent market and the idea of industrialization, we will promote the development of the school in the direction of industrialization, marketization, commercialization and popularization, and cultivate talents at different levels, in various forms and in various ways as needed.

Generally speaking, in the training of new professional farmers, Agricultural Broadcasting School should always take the spirit of the No.1 Document of the Central Committee as the guide, take whether farmers need it, whether farmers accept it or not, and whether farmers are satisfied with it as the standard, measure the effectiveness of farmers' education and training, focus on improving their scientific and technological quality, vocational skills and business ability, and constantly explore new mechanisms and measures for new farmers' education and training and rural practical talents training around improving quality and effect, so as to promote farmers' education and training to achieve continuous results.
