Second, the theoretical circle said
Salon means "reception room, living room". It carries the education and learning ideas of democracy, equality, freedom, cooperation and interaction. What we call "salon" teaching and research means that in Chinese teaching and research, teachers independently choose topics, design teaching activities, organize activities and evaluate teaching effects according to their own teaching objectives and teaching contents. Usually, in teaching and research activities, members of the teaching and research group take turns to preside over learning activities, show the analysis process of materials and problems from multiple angles with the help of modern educational technology, and express and show the teaching process in the form of speeches, discussions, dialogues and debates.
School-based teaching research refers to a teaching action research activity based on schools, with practical problems in school teaching practice as the research content, school management and teachers as the research subjects, and with the purpose of promoting the common development of teachers and students. School-based teaching and research is essentially an action research, which emphasizes the idea, value and purpose of the research subject, and realizes the improvement of its own behavior with the help of observation, reflection and action and the continuous cycle between them.
Sharon-style Chinese school-based teaching and research is a kind of teaching and research form that is conducive to teachers' active participation and free play. Generally speaking, the members who participated in the salon spoke freely, fully discussed, spoke freely, showed their strengths, inspired each other, broadened their thinking, triggered thinking and deepened their understanding of the problem.
Third, the salon-style form of Chinese teaching and research
1. Theoretical Learning Salon-Talk about fun.
In recent years, Sharon has frequently appeared in the news media. And very popular. Salon-style learning can give every participant a chance to give full play and speak freely. If this form is applied to Chinese teaching and research, teachers will have a lot of conceptual confusion and doubts about how to change the leading role of teachers, improve their theoretical level and solve the transformation between old and new courses. So we opened a theoretical study salon in the teaching and research group. If theoretical study with the theme of "autonomous, cooperative and inquiry learning" is carried out, teachers can speak freely around such issues as "how to carry out autonomous learning, how to enhance the effectiveness of group cooperative learning, and how to carry out comprehensive inquiry learning". Through communication, teachers naturally deepen their understanding of autonomy, cooperation and inquiry, and at the same time form some teaching strategies and schemes, which can be used to guide teaching practice after further comparison and screening.
In the theoretical study salon, we can also try to learn from "brainstorming" and other strategies to achieve the best results. "Brainstorming method", also known as "intellectual motivation method", was first put forward by Osborne, the founder of modern creationism. With the help of this method, the academic salon teaching and research activities can be carried out, and the organizer can explain the central issues to all the participating teachers, and then let each teacher freely put forward as many ideas and plans as possible within a certain period of time. Carry out the principle of "no mistakes" in this process, and do not allow any criticism and accusations, and make detailed records, and then sort out and analyze them later.
2. Case Study Salon-Improving Quality through Goals
This is a seminar with one or two classroom examples. The contents of the discussion include: teaching teachers talk about the idea of teaching plan design; Teachers in this grade talk about the experience and confusion of subject experiment; Other teachers commented on the lesson examples under this topic, and shared the relevant materials found around this topic with you. For example, a teacher in our teaching and research group tried three different teaching methods according to each teacher's respective advantages when the teaching and research group discussed the teaching of duck eggs in the salon. One is to teach completely according to the textbook system, and the other is to use textbooks creatively according to the requirements of curriculum standards. Teachers discussed three teaching methods, namely, collision of teachers' thoughts, collision of ideas, promotion of knowledge, gestating of actions and rippling of happiness.
The advantage of case teaching and research lies in: (1) overcoming the blindness of previous teaching and research courses. The teachers of the teaching and research group focus on the topic and do special discussions in a semester or longer, with clear goals and directional actions. (2) The case study provided a platform to show the discussion process. The teachers of the teaching and research group * * * discussed, exchanged and shared with each other, and gained a lot of information. * * * shared the success and confusion. The whole process is a process of helping each other, learning from each other and making progress. (3) Cultivate the team spirit of scientific groups. In the past, everyone took classes, worked hard and worked alone, and their quality was not high. Some teachers are very tired in class, and the time for evaluating classes is not guaranteed. It is often lost. Because the theme is not clear, there is a lack of "the soul of teaching and research". After the reform, the teaching and research course center was clear, the goal was the same, Qi Xin worked together, and the teachers changed from individual struggle to team cooperation, forming a good teaching and research team.
3. Theme Salon-Show your magic as much as you can.
Theme salons can explore teaching ideas, teaching modes, teaching methods and teaching means, and can also focus on exchanges from typical teaching cases. Take a case or a question or a topic as the theme. Participants expressed their opinions. For example, the new curriculum introduction salon, teaching design salon and so on. , in the school district to carry out the "theme salon" joint film teaching and research activities. For example, through the networking activities of five schools, exchange and discuss a theme. Undertake the discussion activities of the new curriculum teaching design research group; Carry out the "theme salon" teaching and research open day activities to show the excellent courses of the teaching and research group. Two Chinese teachers in our school are teaching Snow, Chang and Three Seas Classics for Grade Eight before class. Speaking in the preparation group, the teachers were invited to comment on the class after class, and she had a heated discussion on her guidance and cooperation strategy in the new class. In the process of communication, everyone complements each other, improves each other and gains something.
Fourth, salon-style teaching and research activities in the cellar.
Sharon-style school-based Chinese teaching and research is to create a relaxed and free academic research atmosphere, so that everyone can discuss the "doubts", "difficulties", "hot spots" and "focus" in the curriculum reform, so as to broaden their thinking, stimulate thinking and explore new methods and models of Chinese curriculum reform.
1. Have a chat: discuss the salon.
Teachers' forum: it is undoubtedly beneficial to listen to the lectures of experts, but there is a distance between experts and us, so it is difficult for such opportunities to belong to civilian teachers; Reading teaching reform papers is undoubtedly deeply rooted in people's hearts, but front-line teachers are busy with trivial matters and it is difficult to take time off, and such conscious learning requires a high degree of professionalism. I think you and I will be ashamed to mention it. Our teachers' forum provides a forum for backbone teachers and characteristic teachers in our school, endowing them with the aura of experts, showing their teaching style, talking about their practical experience and learning experience. This form can bring up a group of familiar "experts" in schools and fully stimulate teachers' enthusiasm for teaching and research. We believe that instead of setting a benchmark, it is better to lower the benchmark and let everyone follow suit. As long as we try to climb the stairs, the end will not be a dream. For example, we invited new teaching talents in our school to give a school-based demonstration class, and talked about our own experience on how to organize teaching strategies and skills, which benefited teachers a lot.
2. Debate: Experience Salon
Teacher's debate: Curriculum reform is a brand-new wave, and no one can predict what kind of whirlpool, rapids and rapids it will encounter. Since they are comrades-in-arms, teachers should join hands to form a joint force and face it together. Our teacher debate competition aims to throw out some key issues in the curriculum reform for teachers to debate through the form of debate. So far, there are two arguments that are fresh in people's minds. One is "whether teaching is based on knowledge or ability"; One is "How to evaluate the classroom teaching effect of teachers?" . Teachers have become debaters, and they can come and go and argue with each other. When interacting, the audience is not to be outdone and actively participates. The atmosphere at the venue was tense and warm. Such an unrestrained debate well explains the original intention of our activities: to have an argument and achieve the same goal through different routes. I believe that in such an argument, the Tao will become clearer and clearer; Truth, the more you argue, the more you understand. We will definitely be able to see the clouds and walk out of a new world of curriculum reform.
3. Pinyipin: Feeling Salon
Exchange of educational journals: In the last issue of XX junior high school education journal, it is written as follows: "The educational journal has forged a virtual world for us, and you and I are asking questions with the cleanest heart, the simplest feelings, the oldest way and the simplest style. To communicate, to collide, to think, to express feelings. Educational periodicals are lush in our spiritual garden. You and I sow the seeds, and then wait quietly with our lives: the buds finally break through the ground. The branches and leaves are long and the summer is rich. " At present, the research on curriculum reform in various schools is in full swing, and the collection of educational periodicals is also brilliant, and what I like very much is the after-school exchange activities of educational periodicals in our school. We showed it at the district-level on-site meeting and named it "Every Day in My Life". The significance of the activity is that it is not an exchange between apples, but an exchange of ideas. Teachers inspire each other, form reflection in practice, absorb in interaction and adjust in understanding. A good atmosphere for growing up in cooperation.
To sum up, the extension of the salon has been fully explored, and the activities really conform to the characteristics of salon-style teaching and research: strong pertinence, relaxed democracy, pragmatism and nature.
Five, some immature ideas about "Sharon-style teaching and research"
First, the "salon" is relaxed and easy to be sloppy. How to overcome the randomness and superficiality of salon teaching and research is a problem. For example, we often hesitate whether to "debate" or "debate". I always worry that administrative means will bind this vivid form, but without the traction of the system, will this form die out after the interests are exhausted? As a school, how to care for teachers' enthusiasm for the cause?
Second, the content of Sharon-style school-based Chinese teaching and research is often not "high, precise and sharp". Is this form inefficient when teaching life is precious? Perhaps in such teaching and research, teachers sometimes take the initiative to go or even go astray. Who will guide the salon-style teaching and research?
Thirdly, as the initial stage of curriculum reform, Sharon-style school-based Chinese teaching and research is undoubtedly popular. However, with the development of reform, should Sharon-style teaching and research retreat behind the scenes and let some more standardized and effective teaching and research forms dominate, while Sharon-style teaching and research is just an ornament? Is this more appropriate?
