Core reading

　　At present, "burden reduction within school and burden increase outside school" has become a pain point in basic education.

To break this vicious circle, we must start from the two ends of demand and supply. On the one hand, we must break the "score-only theory", optimize the evaluation system, and dilute score anxiety, on the other hand, improve the quality and level of school education, and improve classroom efficiency.

　　"The content is advanced and the outline, the way to take the test and brush the questions, these are against the law of students' physical and mental development. Some institutions use difficult-to-easy routine teaching, so that students can obtain the "pseudo-success" in short-term learning and satisfy parents. The psychology of eagerness to achieve success and hope that the child will become a dragon. And the comparison between parents and blindly following the trend regardless of the characteristics of the children have caused educational pain points such as the'National Mathematical Olympiad and training classes 7 days a week'."

　　"In order to reduce the burden on students, primary and secondary schools will advance the end of school time and leave no or less homework. At the same time, a large number of out-of-school training institutions have emerged. After children leave school at 3:30, they turn and enter the door of the institution. hour."

　　At this year's National Two Sessions, the issue of "burden reduction within the school and burden increase outside the school" has attracted the attention of many delegates and committee members.

On the one hand, great efforts are made to control the situation, and on the other hand, the chaos continues to be banned repeatedly.

Off-campus training increases the burden

　　"Exceeding the requirement of using the enumeration method to find the probability, increase the counting principle, permutation and combination. Example: There are 10 balls of the same size except for the color, including 6 black balls and 4 white balls, and 4 are randomly taken out of them. Ball, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 black balls and 2 white balls?"

　　"The students in the lower grades of elementary school are required to write articles with multiple expressions, multiple expressions, and complex structures. Junior students are required to write argumentative articles with rigorous arguments, typical arguments, and complete structures."

　　…………

　　The "Negative List of Six Subjects of Compulsory Education Exceeding Standards and Advanced Training (Trial)" issued in May last year clearly gave a negative list for the content of the compulsory education phase of Chinese, mathematics, English and other subjects that exceeded the standard and advanced training, and regulated off-campus training institutions for primary and middle school students in various regions Provide a basis for the behavior of over-standard and advanced training.

For a long period of time, many primary and secondary school students have been overwhelmed by the over-standard and advanced training of tutoring organizations.

For elementary and middle school students in the compulsory education stage, excessive and heavy off-campus training has become one of the important reasons why the burden of study cannot be reduced.

　　Some parents believe that although the "Measures to Reduce the Burden of Primary and Secondary School Students" (30 Articles of Burden Reduction) and the "Opinions on Regulating the Development of Off-school Training Institutions" have been issued successively, they have been "rigorous" in terms of school teaching, homework assignment, examination evaluation, and extracurricular training time. In accordance with the requirements of curriculum standard teaching, “strictly control the total amount of written homework,” “resolutely control the number of exams,” “adopt a graded evaluation method”, and “control training time”, but outside the school, there are still institutions that teach overtime and overtime. Means to recruit and maintain students.

　　For this reason, some scholars pointed out that off-campus training institutions teach overtime and overtime, and there is a market and demand. On the one hand, it caters to some parents’ emphasis on exams and scores. On the other hand, they further aggravate parents’ anxiety and disrupt normal teaching. Order violated the law of education and the law of student growth, and eventually led to the phenomenon of "reducing the burden on school and increasing the burden outside of school", deviating from the educational goal, and destroying the education and teaching ecology.

Treat the symptoms and break the circle

　　"Reducing the burden on school and increasing the burden outside of school" has not only deeply troubled many educators and parents, but has also eliminated the effectiveness of the efforts made by education authorities at all levels to reduce the burden on primary and secondary school students during the compulsory education stage.

　　Some scholars pointed out that in recent years, the central government has attached great importance to the work of reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students. Relevant ministries and commissions have taken a series of measures and measures to improve teaching in schools and to manage training outside schools.

　　In the school, starting from the aspects of classroom teaching, homework assignment, examination frequency, etc., the classroom requires efficiency and quality to reduce the burden of students’ classroom and homework; outside the school, the management of off-campus training institutions is carried out, and the establishment of off-campus training institutions "certifies before take "The system, the improvement of the off-campus training supervision system and the online institution filing and review system, have achieved positive results.

　　However, due to strong demand and capital boost, the number of off-campus training institutions is growing rapidly, and more and more primary and middle school students are actively or passively participating in off-campus training.

Under the demand of rapid development to occupy market share and return capital, excessive marketing of off-campus training institutions has arisen from this.

Unlicensed and unlicensed, advanced and over-standard training, illegal fees, false propaganda and other industry chaos, training institutions "difficult to refund fees", "rolling money" and other violations of laws and regulations have also occurred from time to time, destroying the education ecology and hurting the masses Vital interests.

　　In this regard, many scholars believe that in the next step of the governance process, it is more necessary to address the symptoms and promote systematically, so as to fundamentally break the vicious circle of "reducing the burden within the school and increasing the burden outside the school."

Both demand and supply

　　How to fundamentally solve the problem of "reducing the burden within the school and increasing the burden outside the school"?

Many front-line educators believe that it is necessary to start at the same time from both the demand and supply sides.

　　On the one hand, starting from the demand side, guide parents not to blindly follow, not to be anxious, and to make rational choices.

We must grasp the "bull nose" of evaluation, start with the "baton", optimize the evaluation system, and break the "point-only theory."

　　You Lizeng, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, said that under the premise of ensuring science and fairness, it is necessary to shift from a single evaluation of test scores to a comprehensive quality evaluation, and from a summative evaluation of performance to a focus on one after another. Process evaluation, a comprehensive record of student growth, including learning attitude, learning quality, classroom performance, and completion of homework after class. "Only to fundamentally break the'point-only theory' and guide the whole society to realize that'scores are temporary Well, from the perspective of lifelong growth goals', students and parents can lessen their anxiety about scores and pay more attention to the health and overall growth of students."

　　On the other hand, starting from the supply side, further improve the quality and level of school education and improve classroom efficiency.

For students in need, corresponding normative systems can be introduced to encourage schools to provide targeted teaching services after class, and to meet the individualized and differentiated needs of students by organizing activities such as interest classes.

At the same time, we must also focus on strengthening the integration of off-campus educational resources.

"There are children's palaces, science and technology centers, sports schools, etc. in all urban areas and counties. It is hoped that relevant departments can work together to establish a non-profit off-campus education system." Gu Mingyuan, a professor at Beijing Normal University, suggested.

　　In order to create a clear and clear education and teaching ecology, it is necessary to block the entrance of high-quality schools using disguised examinations, competitions and other methods to recruit students, and fundamentally cut off the connection between off-campus training institutions and primary and secondary schools.

During the interview, the reporter learned that at present, in some cities, this phenomenon still exists.

　　While continuing to strengthen the supervision of training institutions, some scholars suggest that training institutions should also be encouraged to use their advantages in technical means, interest and specialty training, and guide them to provide distinctive and differentiated services beyond school education to make them truly Become a supplement to school education, not an impact.
