The topic selection of teaching and research is the starting point of doing teaching and research and writing teaching and research papers, and it is also an important step for our teaching and research success. Mastering the principles of writing teaching and research papers will help us succeed in teaching and research and enhance the academic value of teaching and research topics. In the practice of selecting topics for teaching and research papers for many years, I have concluded that the principles of selecting topics that middle school teachers should pay attention to when writing teaching and research papers should generally include the following five aspects.
The feasibility principle here is the conditional principle for our middle school teachers to conduct teaching research and determine the topic of the thesis. Teaching and research work is an exploratory and creative activity for our middle school teachers to understand and transform the world, which is always limited by certain subjective and objective conditions. As Engels said, we can only understand it under the conditions of our times, and to what extent these conditions reach, we will realize it. If our teaching and research project does not have the subjective and objective conditions that can be completed, the best project can only be a flower in the water. Therefore, the principle of feasibility is the key to the success of our teaching and research project.
In teaching and research projects, we should fully estimate and analyze the following situations:
First, the subjective conditions of reality. Mainly refers to the knowledge structure, research ability, interest in teaching and research topics, understanding, sense of responsibility and so on. If you choose the topic of teaching and research by yourself, you should also have a correct estimate of your research ability.
Second, the objective conditions of reality. Mainly refers to teaching and research materials, funds, time, cooperation conditions, tutor conditions, unit attitude, etc. For the application of teaching topics, we should also consider the development and promotion conditions of the results and the acceptance conditions of students and teachers.
Third, actively create conditions. The so-called conditions, that is, in addition to the existing conditions, can create conditions for those conditions that are temporarily unavailable. If the knowledge is insufficient, it can be supplemented or some equipment expenses can be overcome. If the situation is unknown, you can investigate first. When choosing a topic, we should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages according to the conditions we have or can obtain through hard work, and choose teaching and research topics that are basically in line with our own situation.
The principle of effectiveness refers to whether our teaching research papers or topics have practical value and practical significance. The principle of validity is the standard to measure whether our teaching and research papers or topics have the value and necessity of writing. The teaching and research projects of middle school teachers must proceed from practical significance, and don't engage in those illusory things that have no practical educational and teaching value.
Of course, the effectiveness of middle school teachers' teaching and research topics is an issue of the times, that is, it changes with the times. For example, under the background of the current basic education reform, the research topics we choose and the teaching and research papers we decide must be closely related to a series of theoretical and practical problems in the new curriculum reform in order to have practical significance. We emphasize the practical value of the topic selection of teaching and research papers, which does not mean the pragmatism of quick success and instant benefit, nor does it advocate that the topic selection must have direct benefits. As a teaching and research paper, we should attach importance to the theoretical value of the topic.
Teaching and research articles should explore and study the objective laws of education and teaching, explain their own knowledge and understanding of these laws, and give people theoretical enlightenment. However, as our middle school teachers, due to the limitation of time, energy and ability, our teaching and research papers pay more attention to practical value, and often determine the topic of teaching and research papers from teaching practice.
Any theory comes from practice, and practice determines cognition. Without teaching practice, teachers' papers will fall into empty talk and lose the meaning of writing. More importantly, if our middle school teachers start from our education and teaching practice, they can write the stories we have experienced, the materials we are familiar with, the puzzles and contradictions we have encountered in our own teaching practice, and the topics of our teaching and research papers in line with the requirements of the feasibility principle.
The "self" here includes not only our own "self", but also the "self" of other teachers. Of course, the topic selection of teaching and research should follow the principle of starting from our own teaching practice, which does not mean that the topic selection of our teaching and research papers must be limited to ourselves.
The exploration of teaching pursuit and ideal is also an important principle of selecting topics for our teaching and research papers. Every teacher and educator will look up and think about the future of education. Our middle school teachers should learn from those educators who care about the sky of human education, and also try to think about some deep-seated educational problems, and also include some educational pursuits and ideals in the topics of our teaching and research papers.
Novelty is the soul of the topic selection of teaching and research papers. The success, quality and value of teaching and research papers largely depend on whether your topic is novel and innovative. The so-called novelty and innovation in the topic selection of teaching and research papers means that you must have new materials, new ideas, new views, new perspectives and new ideas that others do not have when choosing a topic. With a novel exposition (that is, it can enlighten people in a certain aspect or point), the article has the value of soul and existence.
The novelty of teaching and research articles can be concentrated in the following aspects:
First, the viewpoints, topics, materials and argumentation methods are all new. This kind of teaching and research paper is well written, with high value and great social influence, but it is difficult to write. To choose this kind of topic, the author must have in-depth research on some issues, a solid theoretical foundation and writing experience.
Second, demonstrate old topics with new materials, so as to put forward new or local new ideas and new views.
Third, redo the existing topics with new angles or new research methods, so as to get all or part of new ideas. Fourth, questioning the existing viewpoints, materials and research methods can inspire people to rethink the problem, although they have not put forward their own new viewpoints. In short, the topics of our teaching and research papers must be novel, special and "different".
Scientific principle is a gorgeous coat of teaching and research papers, and it is also a necessary condition for your topic selection. Without science, all teaching and research papers have lost their foundation. Your teaching and research thesis should stand up to scientific reasoning, accurate evidence, true materials, logical reasoning and scientific conclusion in the process of argumentation. Never cite something that is still controversial as an argument for your topic.
When many middle school teachers talk about teaching and research and write teaching and research papers, they often like to start from a big height and explore from a macro level. The topic is too big and the starting point is too macro, trying to complete some too big teaching and research topics in a short time.
In fact, due to the limitation of subjective and objective conditions, it is difficult for our middle school teachers to complete such a teaching and research topic, and the teaching and research papers written from it are also full of big talk, rhetoric and empty talk, which has no practical significance.
The teaching and research topic of our middle school teachers is to follow the principle of abandoning the big and seeking the small, starting with small educational and teaching events, starting with small research and discussion angles, thinking about big teaching and research theories with small educational and teaching events, and showing high-quality teaching and research papers with small research angles.
Because small, we are familiar with, because small, we can learn, because small, we can control. Abandon the big and strive for the small now, and the research ability will be enhanced in the future, so as to study the big.
