Steadfast: She never flinched when sparks hit her
"Please make me more beautiful." Wang Tingting, who appeared in front of the reporter, just finished a year of maternity leave, with a high ponytail and a small suit, said cheerfully, "I love beauty very much."
But as soon as she entered the training building and picked up familiar teaching tools, her attitude was completely different.
In the painting workshop on the first floor, with the help of her colleagues, she quickly changed into professional protective clothing and a protective mask, and began to paint the car body, and her movements were clean and in place.
When she arrived at the welding training station on the second floor, she put on another set of work clothes and a mask, and held a welding torch to spot weld a piece of metal. Sparks shot everywhere. She did not retreat, but was skillful and neat. Professional male teachers gave thumbs up when they saw it.
In December 2019, in the 2nd Guangdong Provincial Primary and Secondary School Young Teachers' Teaching Ability Competition in the Secondary Vocational Education Group Competition, Wang Tingting won the championship with this unique skill, and has amazed the industry since then.
Prior to this, she also won the first prize in the teaching design group of the Guangdong Vocational College Teacher Informatization Teaching Competition and the first prize in the 3rd Job Skills Competition for Guangzhou Middle School League Cadres.
In the field of auto sheet metal painting, how did Wang Tingting overcome difficulties and make sure that women are not allowed to be men?
The story has to start with her accidental entry into the business.
In 2014, Wang Tingting graduated with a master's degree in materials engineering from Jinan University, but she did not enter the laboratory as expected by her parents, but entered the campus of a secondary vocational school to become a body repair professional teacher.
As the only female teacher in this major, she was regarded as a "baby" and felt the warmth of the big family.
Under the joint guidance of Chen Gaolu, an expert who enjoys special government allowances from the State Council, and Li Xianlin, a teacher who moved Guangzhou in 2018, she has grown rapidly.
"'Let conscientiousness become a habit' and 'Be a good teacher who affects students' lives'. These are the words that masters often talk about, and it is also my motto. I hope to train children in secondary vocational schools to be skilled craftsmen." At this point, her eyes were soft and firm.
Memories: An experience that inspired her to hone herself and win awards
Recalling the scene of picking up the welding torch for the first time 8 years ago, Wang Tingting said that she had forgotten whether she felt scared at that time, "I just remember that it was a little heavy, and I couldn't pick it up at all."
Just two years into the business, Wang Tingting, who is "a new born calf is not afraid of tigers", went to Foshan to participate in a competition, and the players who competed in the same field were basically the masters of the 4S shop.
In the process of painting, an air tube is used, and the competition equipment is different from the equipment used in school practice. She is thin and can only jump to reach the tube. Finally, she moved a chair and stood on it to get it. At this time, the whistle As soon as the game was over, she cried sadly.
"I felt that I was too young at the time, so when I took off my mask and hat, the judges knew that I was a female teacher and kept comforting me."
However, this embarrassing experience also allowed Wang Tingting, who was born to be strong, to seize the opportunity to hone herself after returning to school, promote training with competitions, and promote teaching with competitions, and then continued to show her demeanor in various competitions at all levels and won awards.
"I'm very grateful to the school for creating opportunities for the growth of young teachers." She recalled that the strength of the team played an important role in preparing for the teacher's teaching ability competition.
The school's trade union actively created conditions for the competition, and organized relevant departments and personnel to make suggestions for her; Master Chen Gaolu instructed her over and over again to improve the unique display content and speeches; Qi Zhongzhi, director of the teaching and research section, and others organized experts inside and outside the school to give her suggestions for revision. ; She herself practiced hard every day until seven or eight in the evening before going home.
"If I want to teach students a glass of water, I have to have a bucket of water. Teachers in secondary vocational schools have to have the skills, and they have to inherit the spirit of craftsmanship." Wang Tingting said, "Ten welds and nine are black, and the whole body is gray at the end of the day. Which woman doesn't love it? What about beauty? But if you want to become a famous teacher in this profession, you have to work hard. My teacher has been doing it for more than 20 years, so you must endure the hardship and fatigue." She persevered and was following her predecessors. Along the way, we keep getting closer to the ideal.
Teacher: "Innovation can change the trajectory of a child's life"
Wang Tingting, who looks bright and capable, also has a weakness, that is, students.
She said in an interview: "These children are naturally active and sometimes neglect to be paid attention to. Teaching without distinction is the original intention of education, and they should also be cared for and cared for."
The students in the class affectionately call her "Sister Ting".
In the eyes of students, "Sister Ting" has the unique delicacy of Chaoshan people, and always takes care of everyone in the class.
"I believe that skills can light up children's dreams, and innovation can change the trajectory of children's lives." Wang Tingting said.
With solid professional knowledge, humorous language, and lively and witty teaching style, she quickly won the love of students.
In the classroom, the "head-up rate" of students is always 100%, and the class she leads always ranks among the best in the school's comprehensive evaluation.
She warned students to pay attention to adapting to the changes in the classroom from junior high school to secondary vocational school. "Only with a heart to learn a skill can you become a useful talent and go to a bright future for employment and entrepreneurship."
Seeing her daughter's amazing transformation over the years, Wang Tingting's parents slowly understood and supported her original career decision.
"I always tell my parents at home how active the secondary vocational children are and how bright the future is." Wang Tingting said that now she is very happy whether it is talking with students or teaching daily, and she always appreciates being a secondary vocational teacher "I want to let more people know through my own efforts that women are also very suitable for the body repair profession and have advantages."
Nowadays, in Guangzhou Transportation Vocational School, there are still many women like Wang Tingting who take root and teach and educate people: Chen Peina, Wu Xingmei, Ma Yuhua, Xu Yunru... They clearly see their position in the field of vocational education and exert their wisdom With perseverance, he has made outstanding achievements in ordinary positions.
