Chapter Ninety-Four: You're Here to Teach the Teachers
Thinking of Qu Guang's two perfect scores in the monthly exam, Shi Lei was full of curiosity about Qu Guangquan.
"If you are just doing business and not going to school, it is enough to be proud to be able to achieve such results, after all, you are only 17 years old, but you are still an excellent student in our No. 1 Middle School, and you can still achieve proud results in your studies. Shi Lei looked at Qu Guangquan: "Can you tell me how you did it?"
Thirty years later!
But this answer is said that others don't believe it, let alone say it.
Qu Guangquan hesitated for a moment: "Learning is actually a science, I have read some books on the study of learning psychology, and then I followed some of these methods, and found that it works." β
When Shi Lei went to university, he was exposed to a little bit, but most of the textbooks of learning psychology in the normal universities of that era were the set of the former Soviet Union, mainly Zankov's theory of "education and development", advocating the natural experiment method, and the main feature was to attach importance to the transmission of learning and ignore the learning initiative of students.
This kind of learning theory has been deeply embedded in our classrooms, our teaching, and school management, and the more obvious shortcomings are that they are dogmatic, ignoring the data-based testing of students' psychology in the learning process, and not paying attention to individual differences.
Or to exaggerate, the more mechanical the student, the easier it is for the student to get a higher score!
The outstanding achievement is to create a number of well-known college entrance examination factories!
Shi Lei feels that the value of digging is very great, a high school student actually uses the theory of learning psychology to guide his own learning, if this is extended, the first middle school will not have to go to a new level.
"Can you tell me about the theories?"
"I think there are four aspects. Qu Guangquan recalled that when he participated in the training, those education experts incisively summarized: "The first is initiative, that is, how students actively participate in the teaching process, how they control their own psychological activities, and second, reflectiveγγγγγγ Third, it is cooperativeγγγγγγ The fourth is the influence of culture on learningγγγγγγ β
Shi Lei was stunned when he heard it, no matter how much he recalled, he had never heard of these theories, which were completely different from what he had learned and what he usually heard!
A lot of the ideas in it are very avant-garde!
It's just that in this way, the classroom can no longer be a traditional classroom, but should be an open, diverse, and student-independent classroom, where students' self-learning ability is fully explored, and the role of teachers is greatly reduced!
The more you think about it, the more it happens!
Thinking of the teachers' evaluation of Qu Guangquan - arrogant, extreme, and intelligent, Shi Lei let go of the idea of pushing Qu Guangquan's learning methods to a wider range, if the students all learn Qu Guangquan, then the first middle school will not be messed up!
This can be wronged by Qu Guangquan, and the four points that Qu Guangquan said were summarized by the American contemporary educator Bruner in the special report of the Education Society in 1994, which influenced the learning theory of the United States for decades.
Qu Guangquan said that there are definitely a lot of things that teachers should think about deeply, at least the excavation of students' self-learning ability is a good proposition.
"Qu Guangquan, if you are asked to be a teacher, how can you teach students?"
Qu Guangquan looked at the principal with a serious look, he really wanted to make some good suggestions, and his heart moved, in this era, the country should not have vigorously promoted Bruner's discovery of learning methods, this new teaching method, there are many places worthy of in-depth study and discussion by domestic teachers, it is better to -
"Headmaster, I'll just say it, you can listen to it casually-" Qu Guangquan first came to a small hat: "When teaching new content, it is best for the teacher not to come up and talk about one, two, three, four, but just give students some examples or problems, so that students can actively think and explore independently, and discover the rules in the cases and the solutions to the problems by themselves." β
"Then what is the teacher doing, just watching from the side?" asked Shi Lei.
The teacher guides the students to ask questions about the situation and asks them to actively collect evidence so that the students can make discoveries. β
"The students have all asked, who will answer, how can one teacher answer so many students' questions?"
"Teachers are not there to answer questions, they are meant to guide questions. Let the students be divided into groups, 3-5 people in a group, everyone asks each other questions, answers each other, and it is possible to ask and answer at the same time. You can also focus on common questions and answer them with the participation of the whole class. β
"Besides, the information that our students can find is too limited. β
If students want to explore the characteristics of Lu Xun's writing, they will always discuss it with a few classmates, and they will not be profound! If they can collect information and compare their ideas with those of those theorists, then they will learn deeply.
"You can let students go to the library, bookstore, and all kinds of channels they come into contact with before class to collect, of course, it's best to go to-" Qu Guangquan wanted to say that it was best to go online, and when he thought about what kind of Internet there was now, he temporarily changed the word: "It's better to go to the book and look for it seriously!"
"Do you have to work so hard in a class? We have seven or eight classes a day?"
"Not all classes are like this. This is the case for teaching content that is suitable for students to actively participate in and discover on their own, especially new content. β
Shi Lei thought for a while, "Isn't the class chaotic in this class? The students really discussed it, so they didn't slap the table and hit the bench, and messed up the seats!"
"There are teachers, teachers are both guides and organizers, and if teaching is compared to making a movie, the teacher is the director. β
Shi Lei has heard of similar theories, but he has never seen such a class, "How to arrange the teaching process for such a class?"
"It can be divided into four stages: the first is to create a situation in which students have a conflict and ask for a problem that must be solved. β
"Here's an example. β
"For example, sulfuric acid in the acid-base neutralization reaction, redox reaction, carbonization reaction, there will be completely different reactions, the teacher at the beginning of the class, you can do these experiments at the same time, let the students observe, students will naturally have questions at a glance, the same sulfuric acid, why there is such a different performance. β
Shi Lei nodded, "The second stage is for students to use the materials provided by the teacher, the questions asked, and the hypotheses to be answered. β
"Yes, you can think independently, or you can work in groups. β
"What about the third step?"
"Test your own hypotheses theoretically or practically. β
"Isn't it okay for the teacher to give the correct answer?" Shi Lei didn't understand, since the students were thinking for themselves, the lesson was perfect for the teacher to give the answer.
"No, the teacher still guides and lets the students come up with their own answers!"
"Do you want an answer?"
"Yes, but this is the fourth step, after the students have used experiments or discussions to come up with a result, the teacher will judge their results and give a conclusion in the evaluation, not only the answer to the question, but also the summary of the student's methods and ideas for thinking about the problem in learning. β
Shi Lei was born as an excellent teacher on the front line, and Qu Guangquan said that in this process, he could immediately imagine the situation in the classroom, and patted Qu Guangquan on the shoulder: "Do you have the courage to give a lesson to the teacher of our No. 1 Middle School according to your ideas?"
Qu Guangquan raised his hand in surrender: "My good principal, please spare me, now I am already too busy to fall to the ground! Such a class should be prepared for at least dozens of hours." β
"There is no time for this semester, take some time next semester!" Shi Lei believes that this kind of classroom is definitely an innovative classroom, and if the teachers absorb experience, the teaching atmosphere of No. 1 Middle School will be greatly improved.
