what is the Rao Yuanyuan
science lesson of Chengdu commercial newspaper author?
science class returned to the first grade, many parents expressed great concern, but also raised questions: what does science learn? Who will teach? How do you teach? The Chengdu commercial newspaper reporters are looking for you ahead of time.
this autumn, after the start of the school year, a new "compulsory" course will be introduced on the timetable of Freshmen in Chengdu. According to the "compulsory education primary science curriculum standard" issued by the Ministry of education in February 2017 and required to implement, from the beginning of this autumn, the primary school science class is listed as the "basic course" which is equally important to Chinese and mathematics, extending the beginning of the science course to one year grade of primary school.
science textbook for grade one.
is the predecessor of the course of nature class
2001 year from grade three to
. In 2001, according to the State Council "the twenty-first Century education revitalization action plan", the "twenty-first Century basic education curriculum system" was set up, and a new round of curriculum reform was started in China, and the "nature" class was renamed "science" at that time. The beginning grade also changed from grade one to grade three.
"this is also a science course after 16 years, re opened in primary school starting grade." Yang Lin, deputy director of Chengdu Institute of education, told reporters.
Liu Yong, a science teacher of the Wuhou District Institute for the development of educational science, told the Chengdu commercial newspaper reporter that in fact, in the 16 years, the science textbook has been adjusting and has been changed. 16 years of exploration, including the change, did not take place overnight. It began to demonstrate, study and compile textbooks several years ago. "Science is the primary productive force, and the level of scientific literacy determines the basic quality of the nation and the future of the nation in the forefront of the world. The promotion of scientific literacy in basic education is a major move in science education in China. Liu Yong said.
Yu Bo, vice researcher of the Chinese Academy of educational science, the director of the research center of primary science education and the editor in chief of the teaching material of science, also said that in the 16 years, our country has made some achievements and steps in curriculum development, teacher training and teaching material construction. The independent new curriculum has not received due attention in the whole nine - year compulsory education stage.
but at the same time, the development of international science education research has exceeded the expectation of 16 years. Some very important literature and works of science education have put forward a series of new ideas of science education. These new ideas have led to a revolution in science education around the world.
"in this context, China's curriculum and teaching materials will naturally change accordingly. If our courses and textbooks do not change, we can not meet the needs of national development and the needs of children and teachers, so the teaching materials must be revised. " Yu Bo said.
What do you learn?
first grade first learning plants and surveying
Liu Yong has seen the electronic version of the textbook. He told reporters: "as the Enlightenment of scientific literacy, science and Humanities and art should be the same important accomplishment in basic education. Because it is the initial entry of the discipline, and there are only 1 sessions per week, and there are 14~16 classes in the semester, so the teaching material is divided into two units. The first unit is related to plants, and the second unit is related to measurement. Part of the plant focuses on developing students' ability to observe and record. Part of the measurement is to train students to understand the world with measurement and scientific vision.
Liu Yong believes that the difference between the textbook of Science in the first grade and the textbook of Science in the three grade, from the point of view of the curriculum standard, the former has a higher meaning and a foothold. Because the former increases the technology and engineering field in the material realm, life science field, earth and universe field. "In other words, in addition to training students to observe and cognize the world, we should cultivate students' thinking and ability to solve problems. This is matched with the direction of the reform of the college entrance examination. For example, before the college entrance examination composition like to discuss some philosophical issues, and now the college entrance examination more concerned about the reality, attention to the life of the surrounding, science is the same. Liu Yong said.
who's going to teach?
the
so, what kind of teachers can take science lessons? What does this course match with what majors in normal universities?
Chengdu business newspaper reporter contacted Wang Ke, the chief of the enrollment and Employment Department of Sichuan Normal University. He told reporters that the science education major of normal colleges and universities was matched with the science teachers. Take Sichuan Teachers as an example, the science education specialty is set up in the school of chemistry. The enrollment situation this year is basically the same as last year, and there were 23 enrolment in the province.
for the science teacher's arrangement, Liu Yong stressed: "many school administrators may think that the low degree of difficulty is not very difficult, so the arrangement of teachers is more casual. But it's quite wrong. It is precisely because it is the introduction of a subject, so it is related to whether students can use subject language to express problems in the future, the question of thinking and thinking, and the solution of the subject method. If the first grade students do not have a good study of science, then the senior teachers will receive a group of children without scientific literacy, and then it will be late. So I suggest that when arranging science teachers, schools must have full-time teachers. How to teach
?
the primary school is the first to try
Liu said that scientific literacy is the main component of the core competitiveness of future students. Science courses start from the first grade, and help to train pupils' thinking ability and practical ability. As a result, Longjiang Road Primary School Wuhou new town has carried out the school-based curriculum of "the science experience course" in the low grade (grade 1~2) two years ago, using the resources of the plant and animals, in the form of activities and outdoor classes, to make students know the nature. "We hope that science teaching in grade one will highlight the experience and children's nature, and play high school and do middle school." Liu Lin said.
Yan Jun, principal of Jinli Street primary school, told the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that the school attaches great importance to the reform of science from the first grade. "We will carefully select teachers and arrange excellent teachers to be science teachers in grade one or two. After all, scientific literacy, as a vital part of the national literacy, is opened from the first grade, which will become an important milestone in the history of the development of science education in China, and will also become an important part of the history of compulsory education.
