I believe many people are familiar with the name "Wen Rumin". He is not only a professor at Peking University, but also the editor-in-chief of Chinese textbooks compiled by the Ministry of Education, the head of Chinese teaching reform, and even the "wind vane" of Chinese in the college entrance examination!
As a well-known professor who promotes Chinese language reform and promotes Chinese cultural self-confidence, Wen Rumin is a "ruthless" role. How "heartless"? Let's take a look at Professor Wen's malicious words:
"Teaching reform must be motivated by the college entrance examination to promote reading and writing teaching." The words of the editor-in-chief of the national unified textbook also represent the determination of the current higher education reform.
Under the impetus of the Chinese teaching reform policy, we have seen a huge trend of "quantitative change" in Chinese textbooks and reading tests:
What really changes China's education system is that starting from 2022, China's college entrance examination will no longer draw up an examination outline! Getting high marks by brushing questions will become history, and children's ability and achievements in the Chinese college entrance examination will depend on their long-term study and accumulation and their Chinese literacy.
This major historical educational reform has brought about a chain reaction, and the textbooks of primary and junior high schools have also changed their appearance with the educational reform of Chinese in senior high schools:
At present, most primary and secondary schools in China have adopted the latest textbooks.
Facing the great changes in education reform, Professor Chen Jiru of Shaanxi Normal University bluntly said that the new education reform will lead to heavier and heavier burden on students! Professor Chen believes that the reason why children spend less time studying now is that the academic burden completely squeezes students' reading time.
There is no doubt about the importance of reading. What do other experts and professors say?
In fact, the new education reform does not increase the burden on students across the board. In the teaching system of the "Big Three" primary and secondary schools, the weight of examinations has changed.
After the teaching reform, Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are unified, in which foreign languages can be referenced many times, and the highest score is included in the total score of the college entrance examination, which greatly reduces the discrimination of the total score of the college entrance examination; Mathematics will greatly reduce the difficulty and discrimination of future propositions, and will only improve the breadth and difficulty of Chinese. Therefore, Chinese will have the largest division in the total score of the college entrance examination, and it is the easiest to open students' grades.
This year's college entrance examination composition has a novel theme and a unique angle. There are also speeches, letters and stories in the form of classical Chinese.
It can be seen from the composition questions of the college entrance examination that the teaching reform has landed in the exam;
As soon as the college entrance examination composition came out, netizens lamented: fortunately, I didn't take the exam this year!
Chen Pingyuan, a professor in Peking University, publicly stated that Chinese is very important because it is the basis for learning other subjects. It has a lifelong influence on students, and this influence is often subtle. Chinese is important, that is, reading is important, not only to read useful books, but also to "read more useless books."
Professor Chen of Shaanxi Normal University thinks that students' study tasks are too heavy and they have no extra time to study. In fact, this aspect also reflects that most students did not form good reading habits and good reading ability in infancy. Of course there are historical reasons. In the past, most of our parents did not carry out parent-child reading in their children's early childhood (0-8 years old). Family, kindergarten and society do not pay enough attention to the cultivation of children's reading habits in early childhood. Children only received limited textbook reading and study in parks and schools, and missed the best reading habit formation period.
Today, under the background that the country advocates "cultural self-confidence", no matter the top-level design of the country, the city or the community, it advocates parent-child reading and children's reading, and strives to help children develop reading habits in the "golden age" of 0-8 years old.
Some parents complained that:
Indeed, parents nowadays are very willing to invest in their children and spend tens of thousands of training fees every year. In a fast-paced big city, it is really difficult for busy parents to spend a lot of time with their children for parent-child reading.
In addition, many parents don't know how to read with their children. After all, the picture books for children are only a few words, and most of them are pictures. And our generation's parents have never been exposed to this kind of book when they were children.
Therefore, my parents are often unable to cultivate children's reading and parent-child reading. The contradiction between children's growth demands, the requirements of education system and parents' own actual situation is becoming more and more prominent.
Many parents feel that cultivating children's reading habits is a "big problem" that is very painful and difficult to achieve. Is there any way to make this process easy and enjoyable?
First of all, we should look at the key elements in stimulating children's reading interest and cultivating children's reading habits:
1, book Picking books is the first crucial pass. High-quality children's books and picture books not only need exquisite environmental protection printing, but more importantly, the educational concepts and values advocated by books are positive. Although there are a large number of children's picture books on the market at present, the content quality is uneven. You must not be greedy and cheap when buying books.
Education is an irreversible project. Scientific research shows that 0-8 years old is the fastest period of IQ development, and the quality of content that children are exposed to at this stage will affect the quality of their life growth.
2. introduction As parents complained before, I bought a lot of picture books for my children, but I still can't afford to cultivate their reading habits. In fact, children's reading interest needs to be stimulated, and reading habits need to be guided by parents and teachers. Because excellent children's picture books entered the mainland late, most parents and teachers do not have the ability to speak and read picture books. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the reading guidance for children with the help of picture book instructors or reading guidance products.
At present, there are many electronic substitutes for children's paper picture books on the market, that is, children's picture book electronization (APP). Such products help to stimulate children's interest in reading, but they are not competent to guide children to further read offline paper books.
In terms of cultivating children's reading habits through online and offline combination, Fandeng Small Reader is the only professional-grade product in China. On the [Story Edition] page of the APP, a vivid and wonderful picture book is told by Paima, the former director of CCTV children's programs, and Dad Zhang, the most storytelling king in Asia, to stimulate children's interest in the content of the picture book and make the picture book into an animated work that meets CCTV broadcasting standards; And leave a "hook" in the process of deductive reading to guide children to read offline paper books. Teachers who want to improve the reading ability of picture books and parents who want to improve their reading ability can get help on the [Reading Edition] page of the APP, which describes the creative background, educational concepts, values and interactive methods in the reading process.
If it is not enough, the APP also "hides" a "treasure"-* * reading treasure, which is used to help parents and teachers read all the materials needed for activities (interactive question and answer design, interactive games, manual schemes, etc.). ). Specific content readers can "dig for treasures"! As the only children's reading APP filed by the Ministry of Education, Fanden Small Reader can help parents as long as it is used properly.
3. scenery. The "scene" here refers to the reading scene created for children to read, that is, the reading atmosphere. At home, parent-child reading is carried out at a specific time and in a specific environment. Children are immersed in reading stories, which also exercises their concentration. In kindergartens and picture books, teachers can not only read the story content of picture books for children, but also promote children's reading interest through interactive games, interactive crafts and role-playing links, and internalize book knowledge into children's own internal accumulation and ability output.
In a word, family education is needed to cultivate children's reading interest and habits, and information technology and tools can be used to improve learning efficiency and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
When we sow the seeds of good reading habits for our children, their growth path will be supported, and the future college entrance examination will be able to cope with it calmly.
