Will "double reduction" standardizing off-school training affect children's performance?
The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council recently issued the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Students' Work and Off-campus Training in Compulsory Education", which stated that "disciplinary training institutions shall not be listed for financing, capitalized operation is strictly prohibited", and off-campus training institutions shall not be occupied National statutory holidays, rest days, and winter and summer vacations organize discipline training” and other rigid requirements to fully standardize off-campus training behavior.
When the New Deal came out, parents were a little worried while rejoicing: Without out-of-school training, what can we do if we want to "start a small kitchen" for their children?
Will children's academic performance be affected by this?
Parents confused
Parents of a junior high school: Will this set of rectifications become a hot topic? Underground "one-on-one"
Recently, there has been a lot of rectification of out-of-school training. I think the starting point of the “double reduction” policy must be a good one, hoping to free children from the burden of extra-curricular training.
However, there is a need for supplementary lessons. It does not mean that all children will not be supplemented if they are not supplemented.
In order to achieve good results in the high school and college entrance examination, some parents will definitely show their magic and find teachers for their children to tutor or improve in various ways.
In other words, if large classes are not allowed, "one-to-one" is likely to become popular.
Everyone knows that "one-to-one" is expensive.
In the past, it would cost two to three thousand yuan to sign up for an online training class for one semester, but "one-to-one" tutoring is charged by the hour, and the price varies greatly according to the teacher's teaching level. Once the class is made up, it is easy to make up Tens of thousands.
I am now worried that after the reduction or cancellation of off-campus public training courses, the training method will be transferred to the underground "one-on-one". Not only will the price increase, but the quality of training cannot be guaranteed. I am afraid that it will be more difficult to monitor.
If this is the case, it is better not to rectify the off-campus training. After all, the teachers and management services of some large education and training institutions were relatively standardized.
Parents of a primary school: what to do with children who have no extracurricular class "two heads"
Now education is developing in a balanced manner, and the school does not allow placement tests, so the level of students in a class is uneven.
The teacher has limited time to teach in class, and he is facing the whole class. The content can only be aimed at the average level of the class, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the "two-headed" children-top students "cannot eat enough" "The backward students don't understand.
In the past, this situation could be remedied by going to an off-campus training institution.
If there is a “one size fits all” approach to rectifying off-campus training, what about these children who are “not enough to eat” or have poor academic performance?
In addition, the educational resources of each district have their advantages and disadvantages, and the teaching staff of each school is not the same. Originally, it was hoped that off-campus training institutions would make up for the shortcomings of educational resources. After the rectification, will it be useless?
Will there be new educational inequities?
Teacher's Voice
A junior middle school Chinese teacher: the bad habit of "not listening to make-up lessons after school" should be corrected
After strict management of off-campus training classes, fewer students attend extracurricular classes, and the heavy task of learning has returned to school.
As a front-line teacher, my education and teaching pressure will definitely be greater, but I will take up this responsibility and be more caring for students.
After the beginning of the new semester, I first had to correct some of the bad habits of the students and the old ideas of the parents.
For example, for a long time, many students have been in extracurricular classes, and some children have formed the bad habit of not listening to lectures in class and going to make up lessons after school, their grades have not improved, and time and energy have been wasted.
Many parents also spend money to buy peace of mind based on the concept of "replenishment is better than no reinforcement".
If this situation is not changed, it will be difficult to implement the new policy.
Secondly, I will pay more attention to layered teaching.
For students of different levels in the class, I will conduct targeted guidance and assign personalized homework to meet the needs of students at different levels.
At the same time, try to achieve online interactive exchanges and answer questions after class as much as possible.
Of course, these ideas are easy to say, but not easy to advance.
After all, teaching is not achieved by the teacher's unilateral efforts. I can work overtime to improve the teaching content, but in the end, I still need the cooperation of the students.
In addition, if students participate in school after-school care, it means that their time in school will be extended by a few hours, but young people's concentration is limited, and long-term subject teaching will inevitably lead to boredom.
Therefore, I suggest that the competent department expand students' after-school activities and increase the content of sports, art, technology, etc., to promote the all-round development of students.
Class teacher of a primary school: dual-teachers families face practical difficulties
I think the original intention of "double reduction" is very good. It not only allows parents to reduce the financial burden, but also allows students to focus more on school learning.
However, the new policy also requires schools to provide after-school services, and in principle, the end time of after-school services should not be earlier than the local normal off-hours.
I am very worried, do I have to go to work more than 12 hours a day?
I am a primary school head teacher. I go out to work at 6:30 a.m. every morning and arrive at school at about 7 a.m.
I usually spend a long time managing students, and I have to "soak" in the class between classes and lunch breaks.
In addition to the work of the class teacher, I also have to teach math classes for two classes, which is a lot of work.
If you have to manage self-study classes after school, you may be exhausted physically and mentally, and you will not even have time for teaching and research, and it is difficult to improve the quality of teaching.
In addition, my husband is also a teacher. If we spend too much time at school every day, our family will not be able to take care of it. We face the practical difficulties of no one to send or pick up the children, and no one to make dinner.
School ideas
Li Jizhou, Principal of Beijing No. 8 Middle School Yongding Experimental School: "Eat enough" inside the school and no "extra meals" outside the school
The newly promulgated "double reduction" policy is not a new formulation, but a new approach from fiction to reality. It can also be regarded as a revision and correction of the current education situation of "reducing the burden within the school and adding the burden outside the school."
In my opinion, off-campus education and training can only serve as a guard and a useful supplement to the overall public education system and the main position of school education.
The "double reduction" policy introduced this time has strengthened schools as the main position for educating people, requiring schools to improve the quality of classroom teaching and enhance the supply of after-school services. In the future, all primary and secondary schools in the city will develop with higher quality and speed.
This is a great thing for parents, because in this way, children will be able to "eat enough" in school, and there is no need to "extra meals" outside school after school.
The financial burden of the family has been reduced, the time and energy that the children originally used for extracurricular classes are released, and the education anxiety of the parents will also be greatly reduced.
In order to further shoulder the responsibility of education and teaching, our school will work hard to improve quality and efficiency and after-school services to ensure the effective and orderly progress of "double reduction", so that parents can be more at ease.
First, precision teaching promotes quality improvement.
The school will strictly manage the curriculum, insist on not increasing class hours, difficulty, or catching up with progress, strengthen collective teaching and research, implement differentiated teaching and individualized guidance, strengthen homework management, and effectively reduce the burden of students' homework.
At the same time, the teacher's assignment of homework is diagnosed in terms of the amount of homework, the difficulty of the homework, and the seriousness of the correction.
On the basis of diagnosis, the "precision homework" of "layered classification" is promoted. Under the premise of meeting the requirements of the national compulsory education academic quality standards, the instructor will not leave repetitive and uniform homework, highlighting students' homework "Selectivity" varies from person to person and from subject to subject. It is coordinated by the school, accurate teaching, scientifically arranged, ensuring students' rest, taking into account the needs of students for independent learning, and effectively improving educational and teaching results.
Secondly, the after-school service highlights the characteristic quality.
The school will face all students, based on reality, highlighting characteristics, actively provide services to parents and students, rationally coordinate teaching venues, scientifically plan work and rest time, and carefully provide after-school services.
First, based on the differences between students, implement the teaching "three-skills strategy", that is, "additional studies" for students who "have nothing to eat", "minor courses" for students who "cannot eat", and students who are "just right". "refine".
The second is to design a variety of courses based on the development of students’ personality, including sports, art, science and technology and other multiple categories and levels, and actively implement the school’s "Three Ones" requirements, that is, every student must have a healthy body and mind style. Hobbies, participating in a club, planning or hosting an activity or project, students have more after-school activities.
Third, high-quality classrooms help reduce burdens and improve quality.
The core of "double reduction" lies in the school, and the core of quality improvement in the school lies in the classroom.
In order to optimize education and teaching methods, improve education and teaching capabilities, comprehensively improve the quality of the teaching staff, and comprehensively improve the quality of education, the school will continue to implement the "three excellent" project.
The first stage is to learn excellence. Through serious study, we will enhance the advanced nature of the teaching ideology of the teacher team, affirm the advantages, find the gaps, and determine the goal of effort; the second stage is "collection of excellence", through the combination of theory and practice, to find out the advantages. Clarify the direction to make the best ones better, and form an "optimization field" of mutual learning and mutual promotion.
The ultimate goal is to create high-quality classrooms, improve teaching quality, and lay a solid foundation for reducing burdens and improving quality.
Chen Lihua, principal of Beijing Chaoyang District Experimental Primary School: "Photo search for questions" makes children more and more lazy
The newly issued "double reduction" policy proposes that online training institutions shall not provide and disseminate "photographic search for questions" and other bad learning methods that inert students' thinking ability, affect students' independent thinking, and violate the laws of education and teaching.
I very much agree with this.
In recent years, online training institutions have launched many apps with the function of “searching questions by taking photos”. When children encounter questions that they can’t do while doing homework, they can take photos with their mobile phones and upload them to the app, and they will be able to check the correct answers immediately. Very convenient and fast.
However, will "photographic search for questions" really help children's learning?
Technology is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages.
"Photo search for questions" seems to be very efficient, but for children with poor self-discipline, the harms outweigh the advantages.
Because the purpose of doing the questions is to consolidate knowledge, consolidate the foundation, form subject skills, and promote the development of thinking, but taking pictures to search for questions only helps them solve the problem of completing their homework quickly and having to work the next day.
From this point of view, "photographic search for questions" is actually not much different from the past "copy homework", but in the past it was copied from classmates, and now it is copied from the Internet. Both methods are obviously not advisable.
The fundamental purpose of learning is to turn knowledge into ability, rather than simply doing problems.
The original intention of the teacher to leave homework is to allow children to consolidate some new knowledge or solve problems that they don't understand.
If children encounter problems that they don’t know, take photos and search for them without thinking, completing the homework will become a “walk through the scene”. This method will not only cover up the problems they have in the learning process, but also make them inert and inert. Dependence, so as to give up the habit of thinking, if things go on like this, it will be very harmful.
It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish, and so is education.
Our school teachers will educate students to put aside the answers at their fingertips, find and solve them by themselves, absorb knowledge and improve the ability to solve practical problems in this process, which is the meaning of education.
expert's point
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences: Education and training institutions are facing transformation or bankruptcy
The "Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Students' Homework and Off-campus Training in Compulsory Education" issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council set strict restrictions on the investment and financing, business types, and operating hours of off-campus training institutions.
After the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, whether off-campus education and training institutions will be "annihilated" as circulated on the Internet has become a topic of concern to the whole society.
According to the “double reduction” policy to regulate off-campus subject training, there will definitely be a number of illegal and low-quality training institutions that will be punished and no longer exist; plus, subject-based training institutions are not allowed to be listed for financing, and capitalized operations are strictly prohibited. Some training institutions that have been converted into financing platforms are unsustainable; also because some of the current total amount of training is forcibly coerced and sent to the training institutions by parents, and some are squeezed out of students’ normal rest periods for training. Training institutions in this region and time period may transform in time, or it may be difficult to continue to exist.
I have always believed that if training institutions only focus on improving scores, there will be no future.
The promulgation of the “double reduction” policy will severely compress the profit space of discipline training. Training institutions must transform if they want to continue to survive, from “collecting points around disciplines” to providing effective training based on the real needs of minors’ growth and development. Service, which is the general trend of the transformation of training institutions, is also the key.
The fatal weakness of the existing education and training industry is that it does not have its own unique intellectual property content and methods. It uses textbooks and curriculum standards. This is also the reason for its rapid growth.
Step out of subject training, play down score competition, target the growth needs of minors, create their own unique content, methods, methods, and standards, accumulate services with their own intellectual property rights, and gradually learn diagnosis, targeted services, ambition generation, and career planning The solution to outstanding problems in the growth and development of students is included in the scope of business, and the transition to service learning and growth is the space and opportunity for education and training institutions in the future.
The problem encountered in the transformation is that before the entire education evaluation standard has not been changed, the real growth and development needs of minors are hidden, and it is difficult to form rigid needs. Parents are unwilling to pay for it, and training institutions need to conduct their own professional investigations. To choose through research, you need to prove to the society and parents through your own training performance that your work has indeed played a role in the growth of the client.
As a result, training institutions need to shift from the work model of single content and standards in the past to improve their professionalism as soon as possible, and improve their own evaluation, diagnosis, selection, content design, and personalized program formulation and implementation capabilities.
The education and training methods are flexible and diverse, and institutions with strong potential can carry out education service activities according to the real needs of students' growth to meet the individualized and diversified needs of students.
For example, the elementary school stage can increase the activities that are close to nature, and the middle school stage can increase the participation in social activities. These can be expanded and developed into non-disciplinary holiday activities.
The space in this direction is unlimited, and it will be an important improvement in the construction of a high-quality education system, and it is also a goal that the "double reduction" needs to achieve.
Xie Chunfeng, researcher and director of the Moral Education Research Center of Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences: Parents need to establish a correct view of education
To correctly understand the significance of the "double reduction" policy and clarify the connotation of "don't let children lose at the starting line", parents need to establish a correct educational concept.
First of all, the quality of early education has a direct and far-reaching impact on children's future development in all aspects. The cultivation of good habits and good character is the real starting line that children cannot lose.
Secondly, the earliest, deepest, and lifelong teachers in the child’s physical and mental health growth are his parents, not off-campus training institutions and other factors.
Some parents have misunderstandings in the understanding and practice of the meaning of early education quality, one-sidedly exaggerating the role of external factors, and ignoring the key role of internal factors and internal strength.
Parents cannot ignore the improvement of their own cultural literacy and family education atmosphere, and blindly pin their hopes of success in their children’s education on prestigious kindergartens, prestigious schools, and off-campus educational institutions. This is likely to cause distortions in their children’s education and miss the correct value and value of their children’s early education. Valuable development opportunities.
Third, parents should continue to strengthen the education coordination between home and school, and on the premise of supporting the school and trusting the teacher, enhance the consciousness of family education, and enhance the parents' own educational quality and problem-solving ability.
A good parent is a good school, even the best school.
Studies have shown that among the factors that restrict the healthy growth of children, family factors, the cultural literacy of mothers and fathers, and the quality of early education are very important.
Don't let the children lose hope at the starting line, mainly not in kindergartens and schools, but more in the positive educational behavior of the family and parents.
Only when you look inward can you master the initiative to succeed in your child's education.
One-sided emphasis on the role of external educational factors, ignoring the direct and profound impact of family factors on children’s education, will often lead to fruitlessness, with half the effort, or even backfire.
In short, in the context of the gradual implementation of the "double reduction" policy, family education must return to correct values and pay attention to children's good habits, good character and mental health.
