primary and secondary school students do the subject, and can also apply for research funds. Recently, the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau has publicized the results of the 2016 primary and secondary school inquiry for small and middle school students. 600 primary and middle school students approved for the study were funded by the 15 thousand yuan / item of primary school and the standard of 20 thousand yuan / item in the middle school. Pupils and middle school students can also do research projects, engage in scientific research, and get research funding. This is indeed very fresh. Can you make a name for it? Is the government input of about 10000000 yuan a year uneconomical? The author thinks that we should not treat Shenzhen city with utilitarian view. Compared with universities and research institutes, primary and secondary school students' research should not be based on "achievements" on heroes, nor on gains and losses.
China's education is a kind of inculcate education, as people have argued countless times. The lack of questioning spirit and exploration spirit makes Chinese students lack of creative ability despite their solid knowledge reserves. Shenzhen's move is to encourage children to find problems, dare to query, explore boldly, and ask for evidence in their daily study, so as to arrive at their own answers. Their answers may not be correct, but finding problems and questioning, exploring and proving themselves is a learning process, a training of thinking, and a cultivation of scientific literacy.
the other issue of Chinese education is also mentioned again and again, that is, students "two ears are not heard of the window", the lack of cognition of society, and the disconnect between the textbook knowledge and the social reality. Knowledge is ultimately required to serve social practice, and ability is ultimately reflected in finding and solving problems. Shenzhen's primary and secondary school students' research is not limited to textbooks and classes, but also encourages them to investigate and study real life problems. Perhaps, in the eyes of adults, some problems are not very valuable, some problems are difficult for children to study deeply, but it is a very meaningful thing that they can go out of campus to observe society, understand society, explore problems and solve problems. The process is much more important than the result.
Shenzhen has invested about 10000000 yuan a year for the study of primary and middle school students. It is a "big hand". It is necessary that the relevant departments do not expect high input to bring high output. It is not that the primary and middle school students can study the valuable results, but through this incentive to guide the children to find the question. Questions, research questions, knowledge of the society, and training their interest in exploration, innovative thinking and scientific spirit are the most lacking among primary and secondary school students nowadays.
