Teaching and scientific research ability is one of the basic qualities that modern teachers must possess. Writing educational papers is not only a concrete manifestation of teachers' teaching and scientific research ability, but also an effective way and method for teachers to continuously improve their teaching and scientific research ability. However, the reality that cannot be ignored is that some young and middle-aged teachers lack knowledge and confidence in writing educational papers. Therefore, the author, an old teacher who has been engaged in education for many years and published hundreds of articles, would like to talk with you about the practice and experience of writing educational papers, hoping that my humble opinion can inspire readers.
First, the understanding of the definition of educational papers
A thesis refers to an article that systematically discusses or studies a problem. Discussion or research is to discuss, discuss, analyze problems and explain the reasons. Generally speaking, the article you write is an understanding of a problem and explains why you have such an understanding. This is a paper. If the problem studied belongs to the category of education and teaching, it is called an educational thesis.
The reason why some teachers are afraid to write papers is nothing more than reading them too mysterious and mysterious, which is a misunderstanding. In fact, the requirements of the education sector for papers are not very high now. The connotation of the paper has narrowed and the extension has expanded. Teaching material analysis, teaching method research, learning method research, problem solving research, class evaluation, teaching and educating people, etc. , common in newspapers and periodicals, are regarded as educational and teaching papers.
Second, the significance of writing educational papers
1. Educational papers are spiritual wealth shared by the society.
Once the paper is published, it will immediately produce its social value. Any reader can read it, use it and learn what he needs from it, which is the unparalleled value of any material wealth. In particular, the circulation of educational newspapers and periodicals is very large, often with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of readers, and the propaganda effect and educational effect of educational papers are even more incalculable. High-quality educational papers can not only go down in history forever, but also create spiritual wealth for society and contribute to education and human progress.
2. The quantity and quality of educational papers is one of the important signs of the school's running level.
Under the new situation of deepening reform and increasingly fierce competition, for many schools, scientific research schools? 、? Promoting education through scientific research? No longer stay at the level of empty slogans. Wise school leaders attach importance to teaching and scientific research and reward teachers for writing educational papers. The purpose is for the survival and development of the school, and for the reputation and popularity of the school. No wonder now, when the media reports an advanced school, it always introduces the teaching and scientific research and how many papers have been published.
3. Educational papers are conducive to the improvement of teachers' quality.
What qualities should teachers have in 2 1 century? Among them, teaching scientific research ability is indispensable. Facing the future education, our teachers should develop in the direction of scientific research, scholarship and specialization. Writing educational papers can accelerate this development process. Writing educational papers is inseparable from educational teaching practice, learning and research. Therefore, the process of thesis writing is the process of continuous improvement of teaching professional level, theoretical research level and writing level; It is the process of realizing the leap and sublimation from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge; From empirical? A teacher? The process of becoming a research expert.
4. Students are the direct beneficiaries of educational papers.
At present, most of the educational papers written by teachers are the summary of education and teaching experience, or the results of teaching materials and teaching methods research. From practice to practice, students who are directly taught will benefit first. If the paper is published in a newspaper with students as readers, it is tantamount to giving a tutorial to tens of thousands of students.
In short, the significance of writing educational papers lies in benefiting society, schools, teachers and students.
Third, the structure and requirements of educational papers
Educational papers generally consist of five parts: title, author unit, name, abstract, text and references.
1. Paper title
The title is the title of the paper, the window of the paper, and also called the eye of the paper. The title is a high summary of the content of the paper, and the paper conveys charm, spirit and level through the title. The specific requirements for writing a thesis topic are:
(1) Use the most appropriate and concise words to reflect the most important specific content in the essay. When readers see the title of the paper, they immediately know what the specific content of the paper is.
(2) strive for simplicity and high concentration. Generally, the topic of a thesis does not exceed 20 words. If it is longer, you can add a subtitle.
(3) Writing should be standardized. The title of the paper is written at the top of the page, with the column in the middle, horizontal and one line above and below. It should be noted that punctuation marks can be added in the middle of the topic (or spaces can be used instead of punctuation marks), and no punctuation marks can be added at the end of the topic. When the topic is long, don't divide a complete word, and strive for overall beauty, harmonious beauty and symmetrical beauty.
2. Author of the paper
The author's unit and name should be written under the title of the paper, and it is best to write the postal code after the unit.
3. Platform for Action
It is a high summary of the content of the paper. However, most newspapers do not require it.
4. Document body
The text consists of introduction, theory and conclusion.
(1) Introduction is the opening text, or the opening paragraph. The content of the introduction is to explain the background, put forward arguments or topics. It's hard to write the opening remarks, as the saying goes? Everything is difficult at the beginning? The same is true for writing papers. It takes a lot of effort to write a concise, unique and fascinating introduction. The introduction should not be too long, generally no more than 200 words.
(2) This theory is the main part of the paper. The key to writing this part well lies in argumentation, that is, using theoretical arguments or factual arguments to demonstrate the arguments put forward in the introduction. Theoretical argumentation should pay attention to science and logic, and science will always prevail. Facts and arguments should be reliable and convincing. In the argumentation, the author's own unique viewpoint should be elaborated in detail. Novelty, difference and realism are the main criteria for the academic level of the paper. If theoretical argumentation is given priority to, the paper will be more theoretical and can be called a theoretical paper. If we focus on factual argumentation, the paper will be more empirical and can be called an empirical paper. For a short paper, the main part can be done in one go, and for a long paper, a title can be set.
(3) The conclusion part must summarize the argument, highlight the main idea, or put forward the value and significance of the research. Don't be too long, be particularly concise, make the finishing point, and don't gild the lily.
5. References of educational papers
If the paper quotes other people's important arguments or related materials, it is necessary to indicate the name, issue number, title and author's name of the cited books and periodicals in the final reference. This has three functions: first, it shows that there is a reliable basis to enhance the persuasiveness of the papers written by yourself; Second, respect the fruits of others' labor; Third, avoid the suspicion of plagiarism.
In the above five parts, the executive summary and references can usually be omitted, and the conclusions in the text can also be omitted. Generally speaking, as a paper, there should be at least a title, an introduction and a paper.
Fourth, the general steps of writing educational papers
Step 1: Choose topics and materials? Pay attention to practicality and pertinence
Where does the theme of educational thesis come from? Mainly from the actual needs of education and teaching work and the author's own actual feelings. We are in the front line of teaching, having classes every day and interacting with students every day. As long as we are willing to write, there are many topics. Discussion or debate on a problem, a little inspiration from other teachers' lessons, typical problems existing in students' study, and some views on teaching materials and methods are all excellent writing materials.
Step 2: Determine the topic? Pay attention to clarity and novelty
Intention is to determine the central idea of the paper, that is, the theme. The theme is the author's judgment on the meaning of the material, as well as the author's understanding of the material and the overall evaluation of the questions raised in the paper. This is the soul of the paper. Once the theme is determined, the content of the article should stick to the theme, highlight the theme and serve the theme. Determine the title after the theme is determined.
Step 3: Find the layout of the article? Pay attention to rigor and skill
The task of this step is to design the structure of the paper and determine the hierarchical order. Generally speaking, it is what to write first, then what to write, and conceive a master plan or framework. The specific operation is to make an outline of the paper. The structure of educational papers is equivalent to the argumentative structure in Chinese, and there are four types: parallel, general, progressive and comparative. The most common and commonly used is the coordinate formula.
Step 4: Write the first draft? Pay attention to hierarchy and uniqueness
On the basis of preparing sufficient materials and drawing up the outline of the paper, you can write the first draft according to the format and writing requirements of the paper. The writing of the main body of the paper has been explained, and the following are some specific requirements:
(1) is a fact. After all, educational papers are argumentative, and argumentative papers are the minimum requirements. Don't stay in the dry list of articles or be satisfied with the description of teaching phenomena. We should strive to improve the level of discussion and clarify our arguments from a theoretical point of view. The most taboo is to jump to conclusions because the argument is not sufficient.
(2) Highlight the theme. The most important skill in writing a paper is to make the material more concentrated and the theme more vivid. People who write for the first time should prevent the article from being irrelevant or too far from the topic.
(3) Distinguish levels. Papers should not be tedious. The basic requirements of this paper are clear hierarchy, consistency and strict logic.
(4) unique insights. High-quality papers must have their own unique opinions. This requires us to be diligent, good at thinking and dare to think. ? What was the dwarf thinking when he went to the theater? He is always gossiping. Others can't write good articles.
Step 5: revise the final draft? Pay attention to science and standardization
After the first draft of an educational paper is completed, you should check and revise it repeatedly, and don't rush to print it out. Mainly check whether there are scientific mistakes, whether the topic is appropriate, whether the materials and themes are unified, whether the structure is rigorous, whether the arguments are clear, whether the arguments are sufficient, whether the words are accurate, whether the writing is standardized and so on.
With all due respect, most teachers don't pay much attention to the standard of writing. So, what norms should writing conform to? Mainly includes: (1) structural format specification; (2) specification of written expression; (3) label title specification; (4) Leave the job change description blank; (5) Symbol diagram specification; (6) Punctuation specification. Please refer to the textbook for specific requirements of these specifications. It should be noted that writing lesson plans, writing plans and summaries, and compiling test papers should all pay attention to the standardization of writing.
The paper is finished, you'd better ask someone else to read it. ? Since ancient times, scholars have always had teachers? Listening to other people's opinions is very helpful to improve your writing.
Five, some methods and experiences of writing educational papers
1. Adjust your mentality and build up your confidence. If a person wants to achieve something, he must be full of confidence in his career. Writing is an intellectual activity, which requires positive thinking and attitude. Tired and restless, how can there be a spring of thought and a spirit of writing? The majority of young and middle-aged teachers should tap their own potential and see many favorable conditions. At present, there are many kinds of newspapers and periodicals, the demand for manuscripts is large, various paper appraisal activities are frequent, and there are many opportunities to publish papers. Of course, practice and participation are emphasized, and publishing educational papers is not the only purpose of writing papers.
2. Persistence will lead to results. It is difficult for beginners to write high-quality papers at once, and it is also difficult to hit the target at once, which requires perseverance. We should constantly improve our writing ability and theoretical level in writing practice, be good at summing up experience and lessons, explore the law of writing submission, persevere and gain something.
3. Strengthen study and pay attention to accumulation. Excellent works with beautiful writing, neat sentence patterns, rigorous structure and unique opinions are obtained by continuous learning and continuous practice with pens. ? The mountain does not abandon the cup of soil, so it can be big; Rivers are not a trickle, so they can grow? . The improvement of teaching and research ability also depends on long-term study and accumulation by calming down.
4. Take a break from the busy schedule and have fun in the bitter. Since ancient times, making a fuss has been a chore. Cao Xueqin sighed after writing the Story of the Stone. Every word seems to be blood. Ten years of hard work is unusual? . However, if you are suffering, you will be happy. Without suffering, there can be no happiness. You know, bitterness and pleasure are two wheels that push people forward. After writing a paper, you enjoy the joy of creation and success.
