First, the proposal of the topic
In recent years, in order to comprehensively improve the quality of education and promote quality education, the national education department has been constantly reforming the teaching materials and curriculum system. As early as 1999, when the comprehensive practical activity class was organized by the Municipal Education Institute, our school actively responded to the call of the Municipal Education Institute and seriously studied and explored research-based learning. In 200 1 year, the school sent some teachers to experimental middle school in Qingpu County, Shanghai, and then these teachers reported their learning situation to everyone, printed and distributed relevant learning materials, which improved everyone's ideological understanding. Experts from the Municipal Teaching and Research Office and the Municipal Education Institute were invited to give lectures and take demonstration classes in our school, so that everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of the comprehensive practical activity class. From 2002 to 2004, our school followed the pace of reform, actively practiced and explored research-based learning, and actively carried out research on topics discussed in research-based learning.
Second, the composition of the research group
After applying for the project of research-based learning, our school set up corresponding organizations to ensure the development of research-based learning. Our school adopts the research group responsibility system led by the academic affairs office under the leadership of the principal. On the basis of teachers' voluntary registration, a research group headed by the principal was established. All the teachers in the first grade group are members of the research group, and Director Wang Chunxia and Teacher Li Hui of the Academic Affairs Office are the project leaders.
Third, the main research and practice process
1, mobilization and learning
The main leaders of the school first ideologically educate the teaching staff on the importance of carrying out quality education and research-based learning. On the one hand, teachers have been sent to participate in research study classes and expert lectures organized by Kaifeng Institute of Education for many times to raise awareness. On the other hand, quality education and research-based learning education have been carried out for all teachers in the school, and arrangements have been made in teaching and scientific research. The teaching department of the school has done a lot of data collection and training guidance for experimental teachers.
In 2003, our school sent teachers Wang Chunxia, Shen Yunhe and Li Hui from the research group to Chongqing, Hubei, Shandong and other places to participate in the seminar on research-based learning and comprehensive practice courses organized by the Central Institute of Education. They listened to the reports and experiences of experts from all over the country and inspected some experimental bases in primary and secondary schools. The seminar inspired us from all aspects and promoted the research work in our school well.
Under the coordination and organization of the teaching and research section, we also make full use of local learning resources and constantly learn from the experience of other schools in carrying out research-based learning. In particular, the middle school affiliated to Hoda University in No.14 Middle School has integrated research-based learning into classroom observation class. 13 The presentation report of comprehensive practice and innovative learning observation class in experimental middle school is very enlightening.
2. Practice and exploration
(1) Use the classroom to carry out research-based learning.
After the establishment of the project, we set up courses related to comprehensive practical activities and arranged for Mr. Li to attend full-time research study classes. The development of classroom teaching is mainly divided into several stages.
1, mobilization learning stage; Understand what inquiry learning is, its importance and necessity. Know how to do the topic, and how to choose the topic, and pass on some cases.
2, topic selection (including primary, check again after the exchange)
3. Study how to do projects and write plans; Communicate in class and start the topic.
4. Each research group collects data and conducts research; Constant feedback and adjustment.
Each class will hold a report meeting to exchange research results.
6. Summarize the evaluation stage, and sort out the essays of students' research study in our college.
Bringing research-based learning into the teaching plan is the guarantee for students' full participation. The teaching of this course is a pioneering and innovative work, emphasizing the comprehensiveness and diversity of content and the autonomy of students. Pay attention to the cultivation of students' sense of participation, process and experience, and don't rush for success; Pay attention to the cultivation of the spirit of overcoming difficulties, knowing that there is no research without difficulties, and there is no science without research.
The classroom forms of research-based learning classes can be varied. Besides the exchange activities of opening and closing topics, there are also inquiry activities using the network, which can be carried out by using classroom time and space. Both debate unit activities and speech unit activities have learning preparation and activity development processes; And various lecture activities with different contents and forms; For example, we have held many lectures, discussions and knowledge contests around "how to protect the city wall" and "how to better develop Kaifeng's tourism resources", which have achieved good results and are very popular among students. Therefore, we believe that offering research-based learning courses provides a platform for developing colorful classroom learning activities.
(2) Use holidays to carry out research activities.
In the winter holidays of 2003 and 2004, we organized all senior one students to carry out research-based learning activities. Before the holiday, organize mobilization study and training, each class carries out topic-opening activities, and students communicate with instructors; After the start of next semester, the project results will be displayed and evaluated. From beginning to end, the whole activity was planned completely and the work was orderly. For example, in April 2004, the school awarded 3 first prize projects, 5 second prize projects and 4 third prize projects, which is a great encouragement and promotion for students to carry out small project research. Through this activity, students take the initiative to acquire knowledge, actively start work and participate in social investigation practice, and their practical ability, cognitive ability and problem-solving ability have been improved.
Fourth, the research results and experience.
1, achievement
The research group of "Yellow River Environmental Protection" is a research study activity organized by our school in cooperation with the Municipal Environmental Protection Association. Our school hired experts to give lectures on environmental protection and water source protection in our school, and organized students to conduct field trips many times. Through investigation and interview, students can understand the historical changes of Huangbian River, and explore the root causes of pollution in Huangbian River and its control measures. The final report formed by the research group won the second prize in the evaluation of the Municipal Association for Science and Technology. Teacher Li of our school led some students to form a research group to study the production of folk kimchi and participate in the city's research-based learning topic exchange meeting; The electronic intercom doorbell made by Guan Yue and Fan Hua under the guidance of Liu Shuting and Wang Chunxia won the first prize of the municipal invention, and the "bulb changer" made by teacher Lv Yingying won the second prize of the municipal invention. At the exhibition of students' research results held in the school, the dishes made by students were highly praised by teachers, students and parents in terms of color, fragrance and taste.
We also organized students to visit the "SOS Children's Village" send warm to offer love and conduct social investigation activities. Carrying out "SOS Ecology" scientific and technological investigation activities has personally experienced the difficulty and fun of participating in environmental protection scientific and technological activities, and enhanced modern people's awareness of environmental protection, cooperation and dedication. Organize students to participate in various scientific and technological production and competitions and achieve excellent results. Our school won the title of Henan Science and Technology Demonstration School.
Our students' research-based learning achievements won two national first prizes, five provincial first prizes and three provincial third prizes in the youth model airplane competition. In the process of research, we compiled and published a collection of essays by research students in our school-Flying Dreams.
The research of this topic has effectively promoted the change of teachers' teaching concept and students' learning style, and made outstanding achievements in the quality of education and teaching and the construction of teachers' team in our school. In recent years, the number of primary school graduates who choose to enter our school for the first time every year ranks first among municipal schools in the city. Every year, more than 100 graduates enter key high schools, and many of them have entered the top ten in the city in the past few years. Graduates have a solid foundation, wide knowledge and active thinking, and have great development potential after entering high school. Su Qiang, Liu Chao, Jin Meng and other students have achieved the top three or the top three in the science college entrance examination. Zhang Ying, Li Nan and a dozen other students joined the Party in high school. In the entrance examination in 2003, 200 students were admitted to provincial and municipal key high schools. Of the 26 students in the two experimental classes, 1 18 students were promoted to provincial and municipal key high schools, and Wang Zhen and Zhang Zhe tied for the first place in the city with a total score of 462. In the "100 Million Project" implemented in Henan Province, there are 1 education experts, 3 academic leaders and 6 backbone teachers in No.27 Middle School, which is among the best in similar schools in the whole city and even in the whole province. Teacher Ke-cheng Li was rated as a new star in the national education reform, teacher Li Xueqin won the national garden award, and teachers such as Feng Donghui and others won the grand prize in the national competition. Teacher Jiang was hired as the only provincial-level "courseware production evaluation expert" in junior high school in our city, and five comrades, including Tian and others, were rated as excellent teachers in our city. Dozens of people, including Lou, Wang, etc., were commended by the state, province and city, including more than national advanced figures 10, more than 20 provincial advanced figures, 3 city model workers and 2 city top-notch professionals. In recent years, 18 comrades including Zhou Yajuan, Yu Weijing, Wei, Li Zuyang, Dong, Li Jie, He Yun, Guo Yi, Xu Jian, Jiang, Ding Feng, etc. have studied Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, music, sports, computer and other subjects in Kaifeng. Demonstration classes recorded by ten teachers, including Ding Shuhua, have been distributed to the whole province. Our teachers' achievements in national, provincial and municipal competitions rank among the top of similar schools in the city. The faculty and staff of the whole school are dedicated, hard-working and willing to contribute, which has been fully affirmed by all walks of life. In the last two years, No.27 Middle School has successively won the Excellent Experimental School for Quality Education of the Central Institute of Education and the "National Intimate Family School". Provincial "advanced units in education and scientific research", "advanced collectives in learning ceramics" and "advanced collectives in popularizing" provincial work; Dozens of honorary titles such as "Comprehensive Evaluation of Excellent Schools", "Excellent Grassroots Party Organizations" and "Advanced Units Governing by Law".
2. Experience
At present, the focus of teaching reform is to help students change the original simple receptive learning mode through the adjustment of teaching objectives, contents and methods. While carrying out effective receptive learning, they have formed a proactive learning style of actively exploring knowledge and paying attention to solving practical problems, because any invention in history is the result of innovative spirit and practical ability under the research-based learning style.
We believe that the concept of inquiry learning should run through the whole learning process and be integrated into all aspects of students' learning, so it can be in class or outside class; It can be organized by teachers or spontaneously by students; It may or may not be related to the content of the course textbook; Can be done independently or in cooperation; Can be unsupervised, can also be guided by teachers or others; It can be "the practical application of the knowledge and skills learned" or the exploration of the unknown; The result can be right, wrong or even no result.
Research-based learning can be disciplinary or comprehensive in content. No matter what, students can understand the content faster. We have carried out the classroom teaching practice of inquiry learning for three years, which has played an important role in inspiring and learning students. Our exploration and practice have proved that it is necessary to carry out research-based learning courses for the implementation of quality education. At the same time, inquiry learning is an open activity and classroom activities are limited in time and space. Making full use of holidays to carry out inquiry learning activities can make the whole process more complete.
I hope this is useful to you.
