Brief Introduction of Benxi No.13 Middle School

In recent years, Benxi No.13 Middle School has quietly become famous in Liaoning, and more and more colleagues from the whole province have come to visit and study. An ordinary middle school, ordinary teachers and ordinary facilities have taught second-and third-rate students first-class results, and it has been achieved by reducing the burden on students and teachers. This little-known school has even attracted the attention of the relevant person in charge of the provincial party Committee and government. How can an ordinary middle school do this? What kind of education is their sunshine education? With questions, the reporter came to Benxi No.13 Middle School.

Sunshine classroom: let students truly become the masters of the classroom

When the reporter attended the class, he found that the classroom in No.13 Middle School was very similar to that in Dulangkou Middle School. There are three blackboards and no platform. The students' seats are not in rows, but in groups. There are usually six people in each group, sitting in two rows face to face. The classes here are also completely open, and teachers can come in to attend classes at any time without saying hello.

The reporter asked whether the school had learned from the model of Dulangkou Middle School. President Zou Guozhi admits that he has been to Dulangkou Middle School and learned from their classroom model, but it is not exactly the same. "We should not only learn from Dulangkou Middle School, but also learn from the good experience of Yang Si Middle School and Donglu Middle School. But we are not simply copying and cloning. We are learning from others and combining our own actual situation, and strive to form a classroom teaching model of our big concept of sunshine education. "

"We are not completely independent of students, but also emphasize the leading role of teachers. How to combine the subjective status of students with the subjective status of teachers, and to what extent is a key issue. " Zou Guozhi said that they only gave a basic framework of the classroom model, and the specific implementation should be grasped by the teachers themselves.

"It's very different from Du Langkou. We preview first, learn first and then teach. " Xie Juan, the vice principal in charge of teaching, said: "Before class, the teacher will list the main contents and problems of the new lesson in advance for students to preview. After preview, students have mastered the main content of this lesson before class. When the teacher is in class, let the students show the preview in groups first, and then teach according to the knowledge that the students have mastered. Xie Juan said, "Unlike Duranco, we don't divide a class into three classes: preview, demonstration and feedback. There are more than ten classes a day, and the teacher stares at them from morning till night. Generally, after a class, we not only don't make up lessons, but also give the self-study back to the students completely. "

In a math class in the eighth grade, the reporter saw the preview outline in the students' hands, which was a bit like the lecture notes of Donglu Middle School, but not exactly the same. It just lists some topics, unlike the lecture notes of Donglu Middle School, which are divided into several parts. The teacher first asked each group to show their preview on the blackboard according to the task. Communicate in each group first, and then choose your own representative to perform in front of the blackboard. Some groups mark the key points and difficulties with colored pens to remind other students to pay attention. After the group presentation is completed, the teacher asks questions and asks if everyone understands. If all the students say no problem, the teacher "passes" and then asks the next question. When some students say they don't understand or have questions, the teacher asks the students who understand to answer. If the students don't answer well, the teacher will explain and guide them. Most of a class is written or spoken by students, and teachers rarely have time to talk.

In principle, teachers are required to speak for no more than 15 minutes in each class. Teachers should talk as little as possible and let students talk more. Teachers should guide, inspire and guide more. However, the situation of different classes is also very different, and teachers can grasp it by themselves according to the specific situation. Long long, short short. The reporter saw that teachers in different classes speak at different times, and teachers can generally adjust the classroom rhythm.

Teacher Xu Xinglian, who has been teaching for 30 years, told reporters that under the classroom mode of sunshine education, "teachers ask students to talk more. There are three blackboards in the classroom, and the students' activity space has increased. The original students were full when they wrote, but now students can fully show themselves. "

"After the implementation of Sunshine Classroom, great changes have taken place in students' learning. "Teacher Jiang Yan, who teaches physics, said," Originally, students were afraid to speak, but now they are scrambling to speak. Students who used to study poorly did not study, but now they want to learn. "

"In the past, the teacher blushed and the students didn't buy it. Now students have more opportunities to show that their learning enthusiasm is very high. " Teacher Guan Shuhong said.

"The leading idea of implementing sunshine education is to return the classroom to students, so that students can truly become the masters of the classroom, cultivate students' habit of self-study and self-study ability, and lay a solid foundation for their lifelong learning and long-term development in the future. "Zou Guozhi said that sunshine education has released the potential of students. "Our students didn't get good grades when they first came in. By the second day of junior high school, the results have improved significantly, and the third day has jumped to the forefront. Judging from the progress in recent years, we can all maintain the top three in the city. "

When the reporter interviewed, it coincided with colleagues from Liqun Primary School, Benxi Chemical School and other schools coming to visit and study. The reporter asked a teacher of Liqun Primary School how she felt after class. She said, "This kind of classroom model is quite good, which gives students more opportunities to show themselves, stimulates their interest in learning and mobilizes their enthusiasm and initiative in learning." "This kind of classroom is also very useful for our vocational school." Huang Guiyan, vice president of Benxi Chemical School, told the reporter, "Many students in vocational schools are not interested in learning. The practice here can stimulate students' interest in learning and make them love learning. "

Sunshine education makes teachers younger.

To implement sunshine education, we must first train sunshine teachers. Only with sunshine teachers can we train sunshine students. The school leads teachers to establish the idea of "health first" and cultivate the professional spirit of "illuminating others and illuminating themselves".

"We have formulated the evaluation criteria for sunshine teachers. Teachers should have a sunny attitude and can infect students. " Zou Guozhi said that they asked teachers to smile, speak kindly and have a kind expression in class.

The school's evaluation of teachers is no longer just based on students' test scores, but takes the emotional experience and creativity of each teacher's work, the degree to which each student's initiative and creativity are stimulated, the degree of cheerful self-confidence and the level of teachers' own continuous development as the core content of teacher evaluation.

These efforts and measures have greatly changed the work and life of teachers themselves. "I used to be very tired in class, but now I am very relaxed." Shi Yan, the first-grade director and Chinese teacher, said, "In the past, you had to think about activities by yourself or operate them by yourself. Now students create their own situations, find and solve problems independently, report their learning situation, and exchange and cooperate. The teacher only needs to guide the instructions in time and outline them. "

Teacher Li Fengjie, who teaches biology, feels the same way: "Sunshine education has rejuvenated me and made classes easier." Miss Li said that she now teaches 16 every week. "I used to feel very tired after three or four classes, and my throat was burning. After the implementation of sunshine education, classes have become very easy. " Now Mr. Li also has some jobs in the school newspaper. Even so, her teaching performance ranked first in Benxi for three consecutive years. "My students are not the best. At first, I was worried about the chaos, but the result was good. Our average score is 80 points, which is higher than the best experimental middle school in Benxi 10 points. "

"Although the teacher needs to write a preview outline, it is very fine and hard. They must use their brains and think carefully. But the harvest is also great, my heart is very sunny, and my relatives and friends are infected. " Teacher Jiang said.

"The teacher's mentality has changed a lot." Teacher Guan said, "Sunshine education makes the relationship between leaders and teachers very harmonious, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. To tell the truth, I'm tired from work, but I'm happy to do it. I want to do it again 100! "

"When I first transferred to another school, the average age of school teachers was 465,438+0 years old, which was too old. There are many old teachers, some of whom are in a bad mental state and are not active in their work. After more than three years of sunshine education, the status of teachers has changed greatly. Now teachers are very optimistic and willing to go to work. " Zou Guozhi said that teachers' ideas have changed, their mentality is peaceful, their wisdom is enriched, their smiles are increased, their communication is more harmonious, and their professionalism is improved. They are more enthusiastic, humorous, cheerful and optimistic, their body language is more infectious and they dress more appropriately.

From class construction to lesson preparation

Class is the basic unit of the school, and Sunshine Education attaches great importance to class construction, especially regarding class environment layout as an important channel to cultivate students' independent development. Students design and manage their own classrooms, and they design a personalized classroom environment.

There are currently 24 classes in No.13 Middle School. The reporter saw that the class layout of each class has its own personality and creativity, which reflects the trajectory of students' growth and the characteristics of class culture. Famous sayings or inspirational calligraphy are hung on the wall, flowers are placed on the windowsill, some classrooms have pictures of students in the class, and some classes even have goldfish and book corners, which are managed by students in turn.

Each class has its own unique style. Each class not only has its own class name, such as Sunshine Class, Elite Class, Sunshine Class ... but also has its own class training, class emblem, class song and a series of cultural symbols.

In order to attract teachers' attention to the classroom, the school also created a lesson preparation system. "We changed the collective lesson preparation once a week to twice a week, once for the subject preparation on Tuesday and once for the lesson preparation on Thursday. Why should we prepare lessons in class? Because sunshine education is related to all subjects. Preparing lessons is organized by the class teacher to prepare lessons together, discuss the classroom effect of the class, find out the existing problems and propose solutions. " Zou Guozhi said.

"Preparing lessons is mainly a concentrated understanding of students. All the teachers in a class get together to understand the learning situation. In fact, everyone prepares students together. " Xie Juan said, "Some students are biased, while others are biased. The head teacher should coordinate the teachers of various disciplines and organize them to negotiate with each other. What can I do to make my classmates catch up? " . Preparing lessons has changed the situation that teachers only know their own subjects, which is conducive to a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the overall situation of students. Practice has proved that this kind of lesson preparation has a good effect. "

Sunshine education benefits students for life.

Talking about sunshine education, the students in No.13 Middle School are very excited. They talked about their feelings one by one.

"You can discuss and interact with the teacher in class, and you are no longer so bound. Passive learning has become active learning. We become the masters of the classroom. "

"Now I feel more equal and study more actively. Sunshine education provides a platform to show yourself. There are various interest groups in the school, and hobbies can be brought into full play. "

"Sunshine education has lightened my study pressure. Now I dare to learn and ask questions, and the teacher will be more convincing. The more you learn, the more interesting it becomes. "

"The biggest beneficiaries of implementing sunshine education are students." Zou Guozhi said that they have become high-spirited, confident, youthful and lively, positive, humble and polite. "Fighting, friction, swearing and other phenomena cannot be completely eliminated, but they are rare."

"Students are more confident than before and dare to express their views openly." Teacher Meng Xiaoyan said such a small thing. A physics class talked about alternating current, and a student volunteered. In the scene simulation of holding the live wire in one hand and the ground wire in the other, he talked about the situation that he would get an electric shock and said that the ground wire is necessary to ensure safety. Just as the ground wire of the classroom water dispenser fell, the principal came in to attend the class, and the students said to the principal,' Principal, the ground wire of our water dispenser fell, can we change the root?' The headmaster smiled and agreed. Teacher Meng said that in the past, students stayed away from the headmaster, let alone took the initiative to talk to him, but now they dare to make some reasonable demands.

A student told his teacher's story: "A burly boy has never been interested in chemistry and has never been active in learning." Once he offered to wrestle with our chemistry teacher, saying that if you could beat me, I would study hard. At that time, we thought this classmate was too ignorant. The chemistry teacher is a woman, over 50 years old and in poor health. Unexpectedly, the chemistry teacher agreed, and their game was deadlocked for 3 minutes, and finally the chemistry teacher won. I found her face sweaty, her hands shaking and her right hand swollen. We asked her, is it worth it? The chemistry teacher said it wasn't worth it. If I can make him interested in chemistry, I will never tire of it. "

Sunshine education is not concerned with a few "top students", but all students, especially the so-called poor students, students from poor families and teenagers.

A girl with cerebral palsy and leg disability was left out by her classmates when she arrived at school. Zhang Guangjun, the head teacher, eats lunch with the students, writes on the table, and helps her go to and from school. After a while, the whole class extended a hand of friendship to the girl, and even everyone regarded serving her as an honor and happiness. She said with emotion, "These days in No.13 Middle School are the happiest days in my life."

A student who was sentenced for wounding 12 times and was hostile to everyone, but in desperation, his parents transferred him to No.13 Middle School. A few years later, he was admitted to the city's key high school with excellent results. Now he has been hired as a monitor and has grown into a sunny boy.

There are many similar examples in Benxi No.13 Middle School.

"Sunshine moral education is an important part of sunshine education. Sunshine education does not benefit students for a while, but for life. While teaching them to learn to learn, we also learned to be human. " Ding, director of the moral education office of the thirteenth middle school, said.

"We are still exploring."

The influence of sunshine education in No.13 Middle School is increasing. Liu, vice president of Benxi Normal University, pointed out: "Sunshine education in No.13 Middle School has changed the face of campus and the way of class ... In class, students have changed from passive to active, from watching to participating, from being tired of learning to learning, from being blind to having goals ... This active, discussion and cooperative learning method is the requirement of curriculum reform.

Lin Zhangtai, director of Pingshan District Education Bureau, said: "The implementation of sunshine education will make the children who were originally inferior become confident, make the children who were originally willful become polite, make the children who were originally rude learn to be polite, and make the children who were originally naive become humble ... This is the ultimate goal of our education."

"A common situation in middle schools now is that students are too bitter and teachers are too tired." Zou Guozhi said, "We feel that we must change this situation and reduce the burden on teachers and students while ensuring our achievements. The core and theme of sunshine education is quality education. We firmly believe that as long as we persist in implementing sunshine education, we will certainly reduce the burden on students and achieve our training goals. "

"After our steady implementation and solid progress, the changes in the classroom in the past three years have indeed been considerable. We dare not say that it will take shape. We feel that the current achievements are only phased results. " Zou Guozhi said, "We are still exploring, finding problems and solving problems. Quality education is not achieved overnight, it is a long-term and even eternal theme. "
