Under the "big test" of the epidemic, family education is also facing a "big test" - after more than a week of online classes, some parents directly called "being driven crazy" and "can't stand it", but some parents took it lightly and calmly .
In the eyes of industry insiders, online classes are a "touchstone" for testing the achievements of family education, and a "multi-prism" that exposes problems.
What problems have the online classes exposed?
What other family education issues can be reviewed and reflected on?
A round of online classes makes family education visible
Although at the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, students have already conducted a round of online learning, but during this online class, there are still many problems: the learning environment is messy and noisy, a few students are in class while eating, and the parent-child relationship is tense... In Guangzhou According to Ye Heli, the principal of the elementary school of the Experimental Foreign Language School (formerly "Guangwai Wai School"), these problems are inseparable from family education.
"From the class groups I am in, behind the self-disciplined children, parents are basically self-disciplined, and they can also act as liaisons in the class group to complete tasks in a timely manner, while those children who are usually not used to their habits, parents often also' Confused', everyone else has already taken the class, and the parents are still asking where to enter..." Ye Heli talked about the "weird status quo" of this online class, and she was dumbfounded.
An online class can get a glimpse of the family education that children receive during their stay at home: in terms of family environment, many parents do not pay attention to the division of learning places at home, and the learning space is messy; some parents lack ways to deal with parent-child relationships, Children are in class in front of the computer, and parents sit in the back to "supervise", making the children timid, as if they are back... During the online class, the gap between children and parents under different family education is fully exposed.
Ye Heli recalled that after students returned to school after taking online classes in 2020, the polarization was particularly serious: children with a good family atmosphere, self-awareness of learning, and regular life "run very fast" in academic performance, while other children's course learning needs to be Completely from scratch.
Due to the short duration of this year's online classes, the differentiation may not be as great as it was two years ago, but Ye Heli reminded that children's differentiation is not only reflected in their grades, but also in their mental state and study habits.
In response to problems arising during online classes, the school is also helping parents with home education.
The reporter learned that the primary department of Guangzhou Experimental Foreign Language School has set up an online family committee meeting. In addition to participating in the statistics and punching management of various epidemic prevention data in the class, the members of the family committee also impart parenting experience to other parents and assist teachers in solving family education problems.
Each class holds a class meeting every week to summarize the learning situation of the students in the class, and carry out follow-up study planning in a targeted manner.
In addition to maintaining a 24-hour psychological hotline, the school also invites psychological experts to provide emotional counseling and conflict resolution for parents and students, and guide students and parents to be optimistic about epidemic prevention by adapting epidemic prevention songs and interesting epidemic prevention paintings.
Lifelong learning to be a "professional" parent
How can parents guide their children scientifically during online classes, so that their children can "suspend classes and keep learning"?
Ye Heli summarized the practices of outstanding parents during online classes and summarized the following points: First, parents need to create a suitable home environment for online classes and provide children with a special learning space; In addition, create a good family atmosphere, encourage children to learn independently, and conduct more family group activities such as parent-child exercise, housework, and parent-child reading.
Ye Heli also said that many parents should first handle their own work, teach by example, and a serious and responsible work attitude will subtly affect their children's learning attitude and future work attitude; in addition, a parent who truly knows how to respect children is not determined by everything Focus on the child, but change from "parent-oriented" to "child-oriented", consider the problem from the standpoint of the child, treat the child as a unique individual, respect the rights and experience that the individual should have, and don't be too strict. Children, lead to high expectations and high stress.
"Parents must adapt to the environment and grow with their children. Parents must learn for life, especially from 2020 to the present, the uncertainty, ambiguity and change of the external world have brought us a lot of trouble, pressure and anxiety, Therefore, while advocating to cultivate children's growth mindset, we as parents must also have a growth mindset." Ye Heli said, "We advocate that parents should be 'professional', which is also what parents in the new era must have. ability."
