The quality of the training outside the school is uneven. The quality of the training outside the school is uneven.
Is this teaching knowledge or teaching routines (after the meeting, the implementation of the four questions outside the school training ②)
Core reading
In the current off-campus training market, there are problems such as exam-taking, exceeding standards, and advanced training to varying degrees.
The "point-only" teaching method, packaged prestigious school teachers... all kinds of routines make the training content deviate from the goal of education.
Training institutions should return to the professionalism of education, and shift their attention from the "temporary gain" of scores to the healthy growth of students.
"Find first-line famous teachers, learn how to solve problems", "Harvard, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and the quality of teaching are guaranteed" "Exclusive big tricks, kill key questions"... In the advertising slogans of many off-campus training institutions, high-quality teachers and High-quality teaching is the "magic weapon" for attracting parents and students.
However, many scholars and parents said that some off-campus training institutions have commercialized education, focusing on teaching routines, learning and reviewing questions, and evaluation and examinations.
Exam is not advisable
"I went to a few experience classes in English, Mathematics, and English, and found that some off-campus training institutions emphasize test-taking and question-making skills. I am worried that children can only learn formulas and cannot think independently." Recently, a student from Qingdao City, Shandong Province Ms. Jiang inspected several off-campus training institutions, but she was a little disappointed. “Is it really helpful for children to master the knowledge and improve their ability if only mastering the so-called problem-solving ideas or routines?”
The "Opinions on Regulating the Development of Off-campus Training Institutions" of the General Office of the State Council clearly bans examination-taking, exceeding standards, and advanced training. However, looking at the current education and training market, these problems still exist to varying degrees.
Some training institutions even prepared two sets of handouts and teaching plans, one set for the record, one set for class, one set for inspection, one set for actual teaching, and the problems of advanced and over-standard training were not fundamentally resolved.
According to frontline teachers, some tutoring organizations have taught three or four subjects for one semester in only 20 or 30 days of vacation.
"Some students take the'preparatory class' outside the school during the winter and summer vacations and learn the courses for the next semester ahead of time. However, some students only learn the'pickled rice' and don't really understand the knowledge. Instead, they kill their interest." Shenzhen Experimental School Sun Dongliang, a teacher of the Ministry of Illumination, said.
Research by Zhang Yu, associate professor of the Institute of Education of Tsinghua University, found that the training content of some off-campus tutoring classes is much ahead of the elementary school textbooks, which violates the objective laws of cognitive development, hurts students' creativity and inquiry ability, and has no positive effect in cultivating students' thinking ability. , And even affect students' self-confidence and learning autonomy.
There are also some training institutions claiming to have a "professional teaching and research system" and "good results come from good methods". However, observing the training syllabuses of many institutions, it is found that the so-called professional teaching methods are mostly "accurately grasping the types of test points" and "10 seconds." Solve the problem, get the answer in seconds", the test orientation is very clear.
Some institutions emphasize artificial intelligence to help teaching and promote advanced technical methods, but the core of the product is still problem solving and scores, rather than ability and literacy.
For example, mathematics should exercise thinking, but some organizations summarize junior high school mathematics into 985 knowledge points and 196 "mantras"; writing texts should express real emotions, but organizations divide essays into 16 categories, each with a template; Ideological and political textbooks should guide students to establish correct values, but there are institutions that summarize high school politics as 430 compulsory knowledge points and more than 150 "big tricks"...
During the interview, many experts said that the training content of some off-campus training institutions deviated from the goal of education and dispelled the value of education.
Under the background of emphasizing the cultivation of core literacy and the development of quality education, training institutions "self-contained" outside the school education system have caused the phenomenon of reducing the burden on school and increasing the burden outside the school, which has increased the burden on students.
Packaging "famous teacher" is worrying
Teachers are the backbone of education, and the effectiveness of teaching depends on the strength of teachers and teaching concepts.
An important reason behind the chaos in out-of-school training is unprofessional practitioners and trainers with uneven quality.
"Wanzhong selects a good teacher", "the first-line famous teacher in Qingbei", "90% of teachers graduated from key universities and normal colleges"... Many training institutions emphasize the background of teachers in famous schools, and most of the definitions of good teachers He graduated from a prestigious school and "knows the rules and directions of various types of examinations."
However, many students report that the quality of teachers in some training institutions is not as high as in the publicity.
Student Wang, a senior high school student who lives in Jilin City, Jilin Province, used to study physics and mathematics at an online training institution. He said that in order to renew the courses, the institution always claimed to have good teachers, but in fact the classes were changed for various reasons. teacher.
“What organizations like to promote is the teacher’s glamorous resumes, such as graduate school and college entrance examination results.” Mr. Dong, who graduated from a well-known university in Haidian District, Beijing, once worked part-time in a training institution during graduate school. He found that although the advertisements were sprawling, but In fact, some training institutions have uneven teachers. “Some teachers who attend classes all year round do not have a teacher qualification certificate, and some teachers have a really good education background, but good learning does not mean good teaching. Teachers in many institutions are not professional teachers. Without teaching experience, he was packaged as a famous teacher."
Lack of qualifications directly affects the quality of teaching.
Mr. Dong revealed that the depth of teaching and research in many training institutions is not enough, and many teachers are not studying teaching but doing problems when preparing lessons.
"It does not pay attention to a deep understanding of knowledge, but researches various formulas, big moves, and spike skills." Zhu Xiaojin, the vice president of Nanjing Normal University, has also investigated and found that many teachers hired by off-campus training institutions hold teacher qualifications, but teach The level is uneven, and some “net celebrity” training teachers violate the law of learning and encourage others, and the quality of teaching is worrying.
It is understood that the assessment of teachers by off-campus training institutions is mostly the "renewal rate."
Under the baton of the institution being market-oriented and keeping an eye on the "continuation rate", many teachers are not concerned about education and teaching, but about marketing skills; it is not the long-term growth of students, but the short-term score-raising effect.
Teachers' enhancement of scores in the teaching process is to cater to some parents' emphasis on scores, so as to attract parents to continue to apply for courses and continue to consume.
Overcome short-sightedness and return to the right path
High-quality education requires high-quality teachers and scientific and effective teaching methods.
Some off-campus training institutions focus on "high-quality teachers" and the so-called "training thinking" teaching model. Under the advertising of "looks beautiful", their training is actually a test-oriented and "examination-oriented" that deviates from the laws of education and talent growth. Fraction Theory".
From a deeper level, the reason is that the commercial attributes of some off-campus training institutions override the educational attributes, and they treat education and teaching as commodities and marketing.
Some institutions seem to focus on teaching and research, but in fact they are researching "problems", behind which is the value orientation of taking shortcuts and being short and quick; they seem to be recruiting talents, but in fact they are just using the label of a famous school to attract customers and cater to parents’ opinions on the progress of higher education and grades. The pursuit.
“At present, in the off-campus training market, there is a trend of substituting economic rationality for educational rationality.” Zhang Wei, a professor at the Institute of Curriculum and Teaching of East China Normal University, believes that off-campus training should overcome short-sightedness and utilitarian tendencies, and return to the professionalism of education and education. Basic value.
The Law on the Promotion of Private Education in my country stipulates that private education is a public welfare cause and a component of socialist education.
The education provided by off-campus training institutions should also implement the national education policy, ensure the quality of education, and train socialist builders and successors who develop comprehensively in moral, intellectual, physical, and artistic.
This standard should be followed in terms of training objectives, training content, and course design.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline are proposed to regulate off-campus training.
To achieve this goal, training institutions need to focus on education, consciously improve the training staff and training courses, not only pay attention to the "temporary gain" of scores, return to the nature of education for public welfare, and dilute the commercial color.
At the same time, the supervision department needs to do a good job of standardizing and supervising the qualifications of trainers, training content, etc. It also requires the joint efforts of all sectors and departments in the society to shift the focus of the score to the focus of the growth of students, so that education can truly be a bacon. Cast the soul, enlighten the mind and moisturize the heart.
