“When it comes to the boat, what do you think of?” Chang Limei, a primary school scientific teaching and researcher at the Chengdu Institute of Education and Science, asked students from the students of the Chengdong Eunuk Elementary School of Guanghe County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province.
“The volume of the ship is particularly large, there are many types, cruise ships, freighters, and passengers.” A student from Chengdong Elementary School, Guanghe County, Linxia Hui, Gansu Province replied.
“After growing up, I want to build a boat that can take parents.” Said another student in Chengdong Elementary School, Guanghe County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province.
On April 17, the launching ceremony of the spectrum action plan (Gansu Guanghe) project and teacher training activities were held in Guanghe County, Gansu Province. The project was based on the theme of “navigation” scientific projects.At the event site, Changlimei interacted happily with the students. Most students never learned about the relevant knowledge such as sailing and shipbuilding, and they were slightly cramped and embarrassed when answering questions.
According to the reporter’s understanding, on May 6, 2023, the eighteen departments including the Ministry of Education and other eighteen departments on strengthening the scientific education of primary and secondary schools in the new era appealed: “Strive to do a good job of scientific education and plus law in the education ‘double reduction’.” Participate in scienceEngineering practice activities can exercise students’ efficient thinking models and improve their ability to solve problems.However, for a long time, rural schools in the central and western regions of my country lacked relevant science popularization resources, far from science and technology venues and scientific research institutes, lack of relevant scientific equipment and learning materials, and rarely have the opportunity to participate in professional scientific engineering activities.
“Science courses are a very integrated course. All the knowledge, biology, chemistry and other knowledge learned in junior high schools are integrated into primary school classrooms. Scientific courses not only require teachers to reserve a large number of scientific knowledge, but also students do experiments.In the process, the teacher also pays attention to the students’ inquiry thinking.
Jiao Yiran told reporters that due to the shortage of teachers in science lessons, most of the scientific courses in rural schools in the central and western regions were concurrently served by other main teachers such as Chinese, mathematics, and English, or returned to retirement teachers.”The shortage of talents and the training system of the teacher’s scientific class is not perfect. The scientific courses in most rural schools in the central and western regions are not good. This is one of the reasons why we carry out the” spectrum action plan “., Help improve the quality of teaching and teacher professionalism of science courses. “
In the past, scientific courses were not highly beneficial
“I have observed the problem of scientific literacy training in rural schools in the central and western regions for more than ten years. In the past, scientific courses were not highly valued. Other teachers in the main courses were the norm.Let the students play “Changli Mei said that in the early days, because scientific courses were not the main lesson, and they were not included in an important examination, the teaching assessment did not have a hard requirement. Many schools did not pay attention to science courses.Occupy.
Chang Limei told reporters that some schools will be about to retire or have no teaching content. The “left -leisure” teachers who have been idle will be used as scientific teachers to make them simply “bring one by one” scientific courses.”There are many contents of science courses that need to be explored. Teachers need to prepare a lot of materials. They spend more thoughts. It is more troublesome. Because the previous scientific courses do not have too many curriculum standards, teachers are not willing to spend more effort on top.”
“For teachers, scientific courses are more limited to teaching the knowledge of scientific textbooks to students. Many practical exercises are difficult to do, and students cannot go to the field to observe and contact. Teachers can only let students carry the theoretical knowledge down.Remember.
Wang Jun, a mathematics teacher in Chengguan Elementary School in Guanghe County, is currently a scientific course teacher at the school. He told reporters that the current student learning science class is mainly based on textbook knowledge. The actual operation conditions are limited.Incorporate the real assessment, mainly the knowledge points test.
Due to the shortage of full -time teachers in rural schools in the central and western regions, schools in some regions often choose some students with the top academic performance when conducting scientific class activities or developing scientific interest groups.Skills competition training and participating in the school on behalf of the school. Most students have difficulty in touching the core content of science courses, and only a small number of people can benefit.
“For example, there are 500 students in the school, but there are only 20 scientific interest communities. For most students, they cannot participate in related scientific courses.Everyone can give most students the opportunity to experience the experience of scientific inquiry, which is very important. “Jiao Yiran said.
Scientific education makes students more confident
Driven by the strong support and promotion of national policies, the degree of attention of science has gradually increased.According to the reporter’s understanding, the donor of the “spectrum action plan” is a good future science and technology education company. The company donated more than 500,000 yuan of scientific teaching aids. A few days before the project launching ceremony, a good future science and technology education company allowed it to learn it.Teacher Si.com’s science teacher went deep into Guanghe County Primary School and trained related teachers to use science teaching aids to bring students a vivid scientific lesson.
“Guanghe County Shuiquan Primary School attaches great importance to science courses. We have brought more than 1,000 teaching aids to explain the logic and teaching aids to teachers. Many teachers have come to the school.Although the time is tight, I still come to listen to us to share.
Teacher Cao told reporters that when he gave the children a scientific lesson on the theme of “boats”, it was a bit restrained at first, and later he could actively answer questions to participate in interaction.Hand -hands ability is also beyond imagination. Most students can independently complete complex assembly, faster than teachers.”In the end, they also have all kinds of ideas for the process of designing the ship. There are only fewer children in the countryside, but the imagination is very rich.”
The reporter learned that the “spectral action plan” helped many students in the central and western regions to discover their interests and flash points, and the degree of self -confidence has been improved.”I found that most of the students in rural areas are more inferior. If there are similar scientific projects for them to do it, and with some achievements, their sense of self -confidence can be improved quickly.”Better.” Jiao Yiran said.
In the central and western regions of my country, the improvement of scientific literacy in primary and secondary school students may change a family or even society in the future.
“In the central and western regions, a student’s scientific literacy has improved. In fact, it can drive the family. Through the influence of the parents, the scientific literacy of the entire family can drive the development of the entire society.It is important.
It is understood that the “spectrum action plan” is a long -term popular science project for students in the central and western regions. This project will support a series of science popularization activities in 16 project schools under the Guanghe County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province.This project revolves around the theme of “navigation”, continuously and systematically provides the opportunity of children to have the opportunity to grasp scientific knowledge in a wealth of scientific activities by providing scientific reading, scientific exhibition models, online navigation science popularization video viewing, and cultivate scientific learning interest, Improve scientific literacy.
