Keywords: countermeasures for college students to skip classes
First, analyze the reasons for students skipping classes:
First, social reasons.
1, the influence of cultural factors
China has a long history, with a history of 5,000 years, which has left me some unique habits and special symbols of this nation. From Confucius' Confucianism to the current craze for Chinese studies, we are calling on our times to remember the precious wealth left by our predecessors, especially the golden mean and impartial neutrality advocated by the golden mean. These ideas are also a true portrayal of most people in China today. We are all influenced by this idea from primary school, junior high school, senior high school to university, which also plays a great role in promoting the problem of college students' truancy. We all muddle along. When we encounter problems, we flaunt that we have almost solved them, and the measures to solve the problem of skipping classes are also superficial. Teachers and school administrators treat this already serious phenomenon casually as long as it does not affect normal teaching and violate school rules. Therefore, under the supervision of this system, it is more and more common for students to skip classes.
2. The influence of market economy
Nowadays, students are born in the wave of rapid development of socialist market economy. In this big economic environment, they are more sensitive to material things and pursue material enjoyment more than any generation. The inherent benefits of market economy are deeply rooted in many college students, and this concept also affects their studies. In view of the boring teaching methods and outdated teaching contents in modern classrooms, many college students would rather spend more time on courses closely related to their future actual development and hold hundreds of millions of tons to escape from some basic theories. Most of them are more keen on textual research, crazy about textual research, and think that learning professional theoretical knowledge is a waste of time. In their mind, studying is for better employment in the future, so they hope to master some social skills as soon as possible during college, so as to better adapt to society and lay a good foundation for their future development, while ignoring the basic knowledge they should have mastered. Therefore, most of the elective courses and public courses offered by the school are treated in an evasive way.
3. The rapid development of science and technology
With the rapid development of science and technology, the popularity of the Internet and the proliferation of various information media, modern society has become a completely open information dissemination body. School teachers are no longer the only carrier of information. They can learn knowledge everywhere and be teachers. College students, in particular, as the generation with the most contact with modern science and technology, coupled with the richness and diversity of the online world, no longer focus on teachers' lectures in the classroom, but focus more on students, the Internet and other information dissemination methods.
On the other hand, due to the improvement of modern teaching equipment, many universities and even middle schools adopt multimedia teaching, and many teachers' handouts are presented and taught through multimedia computers. So the illusion of many students is that they can't listen well in class. As long as they copy the teacher's courseware after class and have time or before the final exam, they can get good grades by surprise. In this way, many students will not sit in the teacher's room and listen to some boring theoretical knowledge, so they choose to skip classes and do some practical skills that they think can improve their social skills.
4. The impact of the employment situation
In recent years, due to the widely implemented enrollment expansion policy of universities, the reduction of their own professional settings and market demand, as well as the high expectations of college students for their careers and various conflicts in reality, the employment difficulty of college graduates has become a hot topic of social concern. In this case, because many college students can't see the deep-seated reasons of employment difficulties, they unilaterally think that it is useless to read more books in college, as long as they can get a diploma. Therefore, many college students are busy enrolling in various remedial classes and obtaining various certificates, eager to exercise themselves in society, thinking that only in social practice can they learn knowledge, while ignoring the professional basic courses set by the school according to their respective professional characteristics. Truancy has also become very common, and even has an increasing trend.
Second, students' own reasons
1, poor self-restraint ability
For those who have experienced the baptism of the college entrance examination, the university is undoubtedly an ideal ivory tower. They escaped from the high-intensity supervision and management of high school teachers and parents and came to a strange environment far from home. They think they can have it completely.
Affected by the heavy study pressure in high school, many college students are eager to be completely released in all aspects during their college years. Because some students have relatively poor self-control, they will skip classes for various reasons when they encounter courses they don't like. For example, one day I overslept, my heart was bad, and then my stomach suddenly became uncomfortable, and so on. Any small excuse is enough to make these students with weak self-discipline and poor self-control skip class.
First of all, many college students are not really interested in their major. Many of them are forced by parents' pressure and blind demands. As a student, you can only obey in most cases. They think that interest can be cultivated slowly in future study, but in fact it is completely different among college students, so they begin to doubt their major.
Secondly, influenced by the market economy, many students tend to choose related majors such as finance and economic management, but when they really return to the university classroom, the teachers basically teach some theoretical knowledge, which is undoubtedly a blow to college students who are eager to master the skills of making money. They gradually lose confidence in learning and feel that these practical skills can't be taught in class, so many people skip classes to avoid boring theoretical knowledge.
2, serious social psychology, quick success.
Due to the short-term benefits and rapid results of the market economy, many college students are deeply affected by this and are eager to make a career in society. They think that only by making money in society can they show what they have learned and really play their role. Even those students who study scientific and cultural knowledge seriously on campus think that they are studying, but they just learn to use it in society. Book knowledge is just a channel for them to earn credits for exams and get diplomas. Some students have to join the society early for family reasons to earn tuition and living expenses for themselves. They are more inclined to society, but they don't want to make money in society like this everywhere on campus.
Third, the reason of teachers.
Teachers are the leading force in teaching activities, shouldering the heavy responsibility of "preaching, teaching and solving doubts". However, from the survey, we know that some teachers are "rigid in teaching methods", "lacking in real talents and learning", "outdated in knowledge" or "busy with scientific research and neglecting teaching".
1, some teachers' professional quality is not high, and their teaching methods are outdated, which cannot adapt to the development of the times.
On the one hand, most of the textbooks used in many universities are old, and many of them were written in the 1970s and 1980s or are just copies of the textbooks in the 1970s and 1980s, which can't meet the needs of social and economic development and knowledge growth of college students. Therefore, in the face of these outdated textbooks, teachers need to further develop the content of textbooks, sublimate theory with practice, stand at the forefront of science and technology and knowledge, broaden students' horizons and make them better adapt to the requirements of the times. However, in actual teaching activities, some teachers, especially some young teachers who just graduated from colleges and universities, do not have profound and solid professional knowledge and extensive basic knowledge. Its knowledge structure and knowledge level only stay at the level of education received in the 1970s and 1980s, which makes students feel that the course is too simple and monotonous. Over time, they get bored and disgusted with this subject, and in extreme cases, they will skip classes.
On the other hand, in the actual teaching process, some teachers, especially some professors of the older generation, are knowledgeable and have a solid foundation, but the teaching methods are dull, boring and boring, and most of them are old education methods such as injection, dogmatism, one-way depth, theoretical generalization and strict control. Students can only actively accept knowledge. There is no teaching interaction and flow between teachers and students, which restricts students' initiative, enthusiasm and creativity. College students think that this teaching method, which restricts their independent thinking ability and creates a mindset, is undoubtedly a shackle for themselves. So they tried to get back what they had lost by skipping classes. Its absenteeism rate is not balanced with teachers' academic qualifications, professional titles, age and other factors.
2. Some teachers pay more attention to scientific research than teaching, lacking the personality charm that a teacher should have, and the relationship between teachers and students is tense.
As an important part of the inter-school relationship, especially the teacher-student relationship, the teaching relationship is handled well, which directly affects the teacher-student relationship and even the success or failure of teaching. However, there are still many problems in the relationship between teachers and students in universities.
On the one hand, many teachers attach importance to scientific research and neglect teaching. Due to the disadvantages of modern teacher evaluation standards, many teachers' psychology is widespread: it doesn't matter whether the class is good or not, as long as more articles are published in core journals, everything can be explained. Therefore, many teachers have no intention to specialize in teaching, and classes are just simple knowledge telling, which is not in-depth, and there is no reason for students to expand their knowledge. In this case, teaching makes students feel extremely boring, and they are used to skipping classes.
On the other hand, because the teaching system and teacher assessment system of modern universities have changed compared with high schools, the relationship between teachers and students is not as rough as that of high schools, and the communication between teachers and most students only stays in the basic flow, which leads to the lack of understanding and communication between teachers and students. The influence of teachers' personality is weakened. Some teachers' teaching styles are dull and lack the basic qualities that modern teachers should have. Students are not interested in the teacher's lectures at all. Both students and teachers are strangers.
Because some college students, especially freshmen, don't adapt to the new changes of college students and think that teachers don't care about themselves and have distrust and disgust for teachers, they are bored with this subject. Over time, they have no intention to attend classes, resulting in the psychology of skipping classes, which is manifested in action. Sitting even in class is "truancy".
3. The influence of evaluation methods adopted by teachers.
The assessment methods in universities are completely different from those in senior high schools. In the evaluation of college students' performance, teachers have the absolute right to speak on the evaluation of students' performance, which involves not taking the students' last exam results as the standard in high school, but more about students' usual performance and teachers' attitude. Because modern universities generally take the sum of the usual grades plus the final grades, the usual grades will also involve the attendance of students. Teachers usually decide whether students will come to class by roll call, but there are many rules to follow in this way. Because there are many students in a class, especially elective courses and public courses, teachers don't call every student before each class. Therefore, sampling method is generally adopted.
First, school reasons.
1, the school's relevant education and teaching regulations are not implemented effectively.
At present, the problem of low attendance in universities has even become a hot spot of social concern. In order to eliminate social doubts about universities, many universities have taken some extraordinary measures to solve this problem, such as how many classes are absent in one semester, and those who have been punished by demerits are advised to drop out. However, when it comes to specific problems, due to the reluctance of teachers themselves, or the demands of parents after arriving at school, and when some college students really realize that the problem is serious, they begin to admit their mistakes. These factors led to the ineffectiveness of the school's relevant policies, and Zhuo Hui finally educated students with criticism or remembered something. Let other students with similar problems have 100 million tons of luck, thinking that the school will not be punished for truancy. So skipping classes is also a common phenomenon.
2. The school attaches great importance to the employment rate and despises the study of students' scientific and cultural knowledge.
In recent years, the Ministry of Education began to implement evaluation methods to measure the quality of university education, and gave relative funds to countries that passed the evaluation and performed well to support their continued development, while some schools that failed the evaluation took tough measures such as stopping enrollment. For this reason, in order to win more financial support for themselves, universities began to frantically improve all the evaluation-related projects of their institutions according to the evaluation standards. Because now the comparison between universities is not only some hardware indicators, but also some software comparisons. Coarse pox includes distinguishing each other in the enrollment rate, and more importantly, the employment rate of college graduates is a hard indicator for colleges and universities to be crazy about. Even many graduates find themselves employed by their own institutions after graduation. This seemingly absurd move actually shows that the employment rate of graduates in a university plays an important role in evaluating the teaching quality of a school.
Based on this realistic factor, many colleges and universities pay more attention to the smooth employment of students after graduation, while relatively ignoring other performances of students during their stay at school. Especially when there is a conflict between attending classes and taking part-time jobs in society, schools will subconsciously tend to support or acquiesce in students' social work, ignoring the more important influence that scientific and cultural knowledge may have on students' own growth. Many students who didn't want to attend class originally wanted to skip class when they saw this situation. Although they could skip class, they would also find reasons aboveboard. Truancy is common.
Second, the solution
By analyzing some of the reasons mentioned above about college students' truancy, we can see that the reasons for students' truancy are complicated in many aspects. In view of these reasons, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine to reduce or put an end to the phenomenon of college students skipping classes. Therefore, through the analysis of the above reasons, this paper summarizes the efforts that should be made to solve the phenomenon of college students skipping classes from three aspects.
First, strengthen students' ideological education and correct wrong ideas.
1, correct learning attitude, and define your learning goals.
It is difficult for ordinary college students to adapt to the new environment from high school to university, and they are also in tune with the learning department at the university level in their thoughts and actions. Therefore, counselors and teachers should guide these students in time and tell them that college students pay more attention to their own consciousness, including study and life. To this end, we should first let them establish a strict concept of discipline, let them take time off for something, not absent from any collective activities organized by the school or class without reason, and not allowed to be absent casually in class, so as to strengthen their discipline and consciously abide by the rules and regulations of the school. Secondly, we should give professional guidance to college students, let them know their professional direction from the beginning, guide them to try to determine their learning and development goals at different stages, cultivate their interest in their majors, and encourage and guide them to pursue their professional development persistently.
Correctly handle the contradiction between professional study and social part-time job.
When dealing with the relationship between professional study and social part-time, students need to be guided correctly. Let them know that social part-time jobs can certainly increase their social experience and alleviate or even solve the difficulties in life. But compared with professional study, social part-time job can only be a small part of their college students, and its realization cannot be at the expense of professional study time. Professional study plays a very important role in college students' whole study career, which can profoundly affect their world outlook and outlook on life, and greatly promote their future career and their own development. Moreover, as college students, most of the social part-time jobs they engage in are repetitive jobs with little or no technical content. Many part-time jobs can not bring some meager income to college students, but also waste their precious study time. Therefore, it is extremely uneconomical for college students to engage in these repetitive jobs and sacrifice their precious time in professional study.
3. Correct the wrong employment concept.
At present, the popular view among college students is that the purpose of going to college is to find a satisfactory job, and the study of professional knowledge only takes 0 minutes, long live. The main purpose of college students' study is to find a satisfactory job after graduation, but it needs to be understood that a satisfactory job is based on their own professional study. If a student can't even do his professional study well, how can he do his job well in the future social post? Therefore, if college students want to have a good job development in the future, they must first learn professional knowledge and lay a good foundation. The process of learning is the process of storing energy for better development in the future. Therefore, college students should open up the wrong concept of 0 minutes and long live as soon as possible, study professional knowledge well, cultivate their own skills in all aspects, and increase enough weight for future employment.
Second, strengthen the construction of teachers and improve the quality of college teachers.
1. Improve the teacher evaluation system focusing on teaching and scientific research.
Modern universities generally pay more attention to scientific research than teaching, and the evaluation of teachers' salary performance is based on the number of teachers' class hours and published articles. The quantitative evaluation of teachers' class hours has little effect on teachers' professional teaching and the growth of students' knowledge, and the prominent emblem will only lead to the overall decline of university teaching quality. Even the basic teaching order is difficult to guarantee, let alone college students can consciously abide by it.
To change this situation, we must first improve the teacher evaluation system and add these basic factors of classroom teaching to the teacher evaluation at the end of the year. For example, it is necessary to check the attendance rate of college students in class at any time, and at the same time, conduct a process survey on students to find out whether the teacher's teaching methods or teaching styles meet some standards of the school, whether they have reached the quality that a qualified teacher should have, and so on, so that teachers and students can * * * supervise, improve together, pay full attention to classroom teaching and make progress together. Gradually instill in teachers the idea of emphasizing teaching and scientific research.
Strengthen teachers' teaching.
Teachers' teaching generally requires more contrast with primary and secondary school teachers. As a group, college students should have good self-control and self-restraint ability, and it seems that university teachers should not be required to pay too much attention to the teaching process. However, a good qualified university teacher with certain teaching skills will produce unexpected good results in teaching. Acne is of great help to the improvement of their major, and it will also make college students more enthusiastic in class and greatly improve the quality of teaching. Therefore, teachers should study their own teaching hard, give full play to their teaching role, supplement their professional knowledge in time, be knowledgeable at the same time, enhance the appeal of the classroom and make their teaching more vivid. Change some old and rigid teaching methods in the past, fully mobilize students' enthusiasm, contact actual students, understand and care about students' study and life. Let teaching stay in the classroom, and let college students deeply feel the elegance of university teachers, and reduce the behavior of college students skipping classes because of boring course learning.
3. Strengthen the cultivation of teachers' personal qualities and establish the relationship between teachers and students. Most college students are such a group. They have entered the year, and many of them are boarding at school, far away from the care of their parents and relatives. In the transitional stage from high school to university, most college students need some time to adapt. Therefore, school counselors and teachers play a very important role in this stage of college students, and the handling of these relationships will have a great impact on the development of students in the whole college and even in the future.
Therefore, teachers should have a strong sense of responsibility, teach their professional courses well, and effectively guide students' outlook on life, world outlook, values and other ideas that affect their lifelong development. After class, we should seize the opportunity to communicate with students, understand and pay attention to some basic thoughts of students, and build a good platform for students. Let students feel that their thoughts have a good home and will not be in a state of confusion of hundreds of millions of tons. Hundreds of millions of tons of teacher-student relationship is the basic guarantee of classroom order. Teachers should narrow the distance between students, integrate into the student group, and fundamentally put an end to the truancy rate of college students.
Third, implement elastic chemistry subsystem and diversified evaluation system.
1, focusing on process evaluation, weakening the ultimate evaluation system, and diversifying assessment methods.
In the past, the assessment facilities for students focused on assessing teachers before the end of the semester, taking notes in the final exam and testing memory. Therefore, students who usually don't attend classes just need to memorize these contents a few days before the end of the semester, especially liberal arts students. In the end, many college students who often skip classes have even higher grades than those who attend classes every day. These assessment methods are really unfair to some college students who study hard. Therefore, we should change this malpractice and form a fairer and more appropriate evaluation system to measure students. Weakening the role of summative evaluation, we can't judge all the statements of students in a semester only by the last final exam. Therefore, it is feasible to attach importance to the process evaluation of students' learning stages and assess students in several stages through discussion, oral examination, essay writing and practice. Then quantify these achievements into the final student's statement. On the one hand, it can supervise college students to study hard, on the other hand, it can improve learning efficiency and teaching quality. Those students who failed in the exam should also be punished. In order not to be punished, truancy will be curbed to some extent.
Reduce the number of specialized courses and offer more elective courses to give students more choices.
University courses include professional elective courses, professional elective courses, public elective courses and some school-level elective courses. General elective courses and public elective courses are the professional courses that every college student must study, and some elective courses can be selected according to the summarized interests and professional development needs. However, as for the proportion of these courses, according to the standards set by the Ministry of Education, colleges and universities set them according to their own training programs. For the sake of students' all-round development and improving their interest in learning, schools should appropriately reduce the setting of specialized courses and teach themselves some courses by guiding students to read after class. At the same time, increase the proportion of elective courses appropriately, so that students can have more choices when choosing courses, improve the enthusiasm of attending classes, and learn more knowledge according to their respective preferences. Enrich students' learning, so that they can learn more other knowledge unrelated to their major and increase their knowledge while mastering their professional knowledge.
First, change the concept of running higher education and strengthen the construction of rules and regulations.
1, standardize the relevant school rules and regulations, and set up a supervision department to supervise the implementation.
"No rules, no Fiona Fang", any well-organized organization needs some hard rules and regulations to supervise, only in this way can it ensure the orderly operation of the organization. But the premise must be that these rules and regulations really play a supervisory and warning role, otherwise the system can only exist in name only.
When it comes to the prevalence of college students skipping classes, it doesn't mean that universities don't have relevant punishment measures. Just because these rules and regulations are not really implemented, college students do not take truancy seriously, and some even become commonplace. Therefore, in order to completely reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of truancy, it is necessary to check the attendance of regular students, get results in strict accordance with the system, and resolutely deal with punishment, so that the rules and regulations are truly deterrent in the eyes of students to maintain the seriousness and authority of the system.
First of all, we must strictly implement the student attendance system. Supervising students' class attendance is one of the effective means to solve the problem of students skipping classes. This kind of rough pox requires regular attendance of class cadres and classroom teachers, high attention of school teaching management departments, and regular in-depth inspection and supervision of classroom teaching.
Secondly, it can be found that students who skip classes are criticized and educated by school administrators in time. Those who miss classes to a certain extent should be notified by the whole school, and those who violate school rules and regulations should be resolutely dealt with.
Effectively implement the relevant policies of the school, resolutely criticize and educate students who dare to challenge the authority of school rules and discipline, and punish those who are serious, so that students can truly feel the seriousness of school discipline and eliminate the idea of skipping classes.
Weaken the idea of excessive pursuit of high employment rate, strengthen the construction of students' ideological quality and improve vocational skills.
In most cases, many social evaluations of a university are quantified in the figures of a university's admission scores and graduates' employment rate, including some universities that attach great importance to these quantified things, thus ignoring other qualities needed for the development of college students. This idea must be resolutely rejected. High admission scores and high employment rate can explain some problems, but not all.
We should know that the high admission line and high employment rate are based on the premise that the school can cultivate high-quality and high-skilled college students and adapt to social development, especially the ideological quality education of college students. Without a healthy mind, mastering high technology will also have hidden dangers in the future. Therefore, while educating students in vocational skills, schools should also strive to educate students in ideological quality and guide them in health quality, so as to truly cultivate qualified college students who meet the needs of social development. Only by improving college students' diaosi quality can we treat professional learning correctly and not skip classes for no reason.
