first understanding the opinions of parents
according to the children's sex education project group of the children of North Normal University. At present, "precious life - primary primary health education reading book" has been used as a school-based course material for sexual health education in 18 private migrant children's schools in Beijing Use銆� In March 14th, the reporter went to visit one of the experimental schools, Daxing District Xing Zhi school.
"it's unfair to deny a set of teaching materials by such a break." Jia Zhi, a member of the Daxing District School of grade six, told reporters. A few days ago, his son went home to tell her that the school had recently been "fire", because it was a set of teaching materials used in school - based courses - "precious life - the reading book of primary health education". This textbook, which has been used since the first year of school, has suddenly burst red on the Internet because of the "big scale".
Mr. Zhu's son and Ms. Jia's son, the same school six grade student, have used the textbook, and he has never heard that there are parents in school against the textbook. Mr. Zhu said that before the beginning of the use of teaching materials, the school invited parents to the school. It was trained by the graduate students from the North Normal University, to let parents understand the child's knowledge of sex education and to know what their parents had on the curriculum.
"eight or nine year old children are more mature than our 80's parents." Ms. Jia said that even if the school does not speak, there are many ways for children to acquire sexual knowledge. "Tell children the right knowledge, teach children how to protect themselves, is not better than their online search of real and false knowledge is much better?"
course student feedback is an important reference for the improvement of teaching materials,
as a first-line teacher who participates in the experiment of teaching materials. Since 2011, Li Ming has been walking with this set of teaching materials for more than 5 years. She is an English teacher in Daxing District's School of knowing, and also a teacher in this textbook.
Shen Guixiang, the president of the Daxing District travel school, is very supportive of the education of sex education for children in schools. As early as 2007, the group of children's sex education in North Normal University had been practicing sex education in the first grade of the school. At present, a total of 23 classes from grade 1 to grade six are offered.
because of the shortage of teachers, schools can not set up full-time teachers for this school-based curriculum, and can only be part-time teachers of other subjects. At present, 10 to 12 teachers in this school have taught this course, and all the teachers should receive training in the children's sex education research group of Beijing Normal University.
"this textbook is from grade one to grade six, and each grade is divided into upper and lower grades, six classes per semester, one Monday class." Li Ming participated in the initial stage of the textbook. Although a week occupied a class, she spent almost a week in her spare time working for this class.
before class, the subject group, including the editor in chief of the teaching material, Professor Liu Wenli of the University of North Normal University and the professor of cognitive science, should discuss the course with the teacher first. After that, the teacher will send the electronic version of the lesson plan to the project team and make the first round of revision to the lesson plan under the guidance of the experts. After that, the teacher can begin the first lesson with the revised lesson plan. When the class is officially opened, the project group will also videotape the whole course, the content of the video will be discussed again, and the content of the lecture will be further considered in order to further improve the content of the course. After that, teachers should also give feedback after class and write teaching reflection to the project team.
Li Ming said that every lesson in the teaching material is under the joint research of the school teachers and the group experts and members of the children's sex education. Since its use, textbooks have been revised and audited many times, absorbing the opinions of teachers, parents and students. At the end of the course, students will conduct separate interviews. Students' interviewing advice is also an important reference for improving teaching materials.
