Characteristics of Shanghai Tianlin No.3 Middle School

The school insists on science and technology education as the starting point. Through the efforts of all teachers and students for many years, the school was named as a characteristic school of science and technology education in Shanghai on 1993. And became the first member school of Shanghai Energy Association. Focusing on science and technology education, the school has carried out practical and meticulous work in organization and leadership, education and teaching, activities, infrastructure construction and social effects, making science and technology education a feature and highlight of the school. In 2005, the school was awarded Shanghai Innovative Education Experimental Base, and in the same year, it was awarded Shanghai "School with Outstanding Scientific and Technological Education and Scientific Research Achievements". So far, the science and technology education in Tianlin No.3 Middle School has laid a relatively deep foundation and formed a good brand effect in society.

1, the concept positioning is accurate first, and science and technology education highlights its characteristics.

In Tianlin No.3 Middle School, it has become the consensus of school leaders and even all faculty members to highlight the characteristics of the school with science and technology education. The school believes that science and technology education is an important part of quality education. To carry out science and technology education, we should not only impart scientific knowledge to students, but also cultivate their scientific awareness and spirit, and improve their scientific literacy and innovative practice ability. It takes a long time and continuous efforts to create the school-running characteristics. When positioning and planning the development of the school, the previous leading bodies of the school insisted on the continuous investment and construction of science and technology education, and at the same time promoted the development of the school with the concept of science and technology education, and promoted the construction of school spirit, teaching style and study style.

2, sound management institutions, long-term, science and technology teachers led the team.

Over the years, in the process of science and technology education, we have gradually built a school science and technology education management network. The principal is the main person in charge of science and technology education in the school. The branch secretary, vice principal, teaching director, general director of science and technology and director of science and technology studio form the leading group of science and technology education in the school and the main team of science and technology education mainly composed of teachers in some disciplines. Around the school development planning and training objectives, the school makes plans for science and technology education at the beginning of each semester, and summarizes, commends and rewards at the end of each semester. This working mechanism ensures the stable and effective development of science and technology education in schools.

Chen Ruiqiang is not only a physics teacher in Tianlin No.3 Middle School, but also the backbone of science and technology education in the school. In the school's science and technology education for more than ten years, Mr. Chen is diligent and innovative, guiding students to participate in science and technology competitions, and has achieved fruitful results, enjoying a high reputation in the whole region. In 2007, Mr Chen Ruiqiang was awarded the title of "the first person in science and technology education skills" by Xuhui District Education Bureau. In order to give full play to Mr. Chen Ruiqiang's specialty and the brand effect of famous teachers in science and technology, in the same year, the school set up the "Chen Ruiqiang Science and Technology Studio", opened up the exhibition room for the achievements of science and technology education in the school, and formed a backbone team of science and technology education in the school with famous teachers in Chen Ruiqiang as the core and teachers from all disciplines widely participating, which promoted the overall development of science and technology education in the school.

3. The floral campus community blooms, and radiation leads across regions.

The school's scientific and technological education work is reflected in a wealth of scientific and technological projects, and the influence of some scientific and technological projects has gone beyond the scope of the school and spread to all walks of life. The traditional science and technology project "Tian San Cup" Brain Olympics attracts students from more than 60 primary and secondary schools in the whole region to participate enthusiastically every year. Since 2006, Tianlin No.3 Middle School has taken the lead in scientific and technological joint activities involving schools, schools and streets (Tianlin) and schools and districts (Jinshan), which has promoted exchanges and cooperation between different schools in scientific and technological education and provided a good platform for us to study and develop scientific and technological education. This inter-school joint "Science and Technology Salon" is the first time in Xuhui District, creating a precedent. In 2 007, with the guidance and help of Xuhui District Youth Activity Center, we held a salon for science and technology counselors in primary and secondary schools, which provided a platform for the exchange of science and technology teachers in this area and laid a foundation for the improvement and development of science and technology teachers in this area.

4. Explicit curriculum shows ability, and science and technology education develops in an all-round way.

Curriculum is the most important carrier to reflect the characteristics of the school. We gradually realize that the available curriculum resources can be divided into explicit courses (basic courses, extended courses and inquiry courses) and implicit courses. Let these courses give full play to their abilities and promote the all-round development of science and technology education in schools.

In the dominant courses, we should pay attention to the integration of science and technology education with basic courses, expanding courses and inquiry courses. In basic courses, we integrate science and technology education with subject teaching, requiring teachers to take imparting knowledge as the main line, focusing on developing intelligence, innovation ability and practical ability, and paying attention to the diversity of teaching process, the flexibility of teaching links and the novelty of teaching content. For example, according to the scientific factors of the textbook itself, Chinese teachers choose common sense texts with scientific and technological content, popularize scientific common sense and cultivate divergent thinking. For example, when a math teacher teaches pi, he can tell the story of Zu Chongzhi, an ancient mathematician in China, so that students can learn from scientists the power to love and learn science, and establish the ideal of advocating science from an early age. At the same time, the school has always included science and technology education in the curriculum of grade one, grade one and grade two, and has set up weekly expansion courses in all grades, which are taught by all teachers, forming a number of mature science and technology courses such as energy, life chemistry, paper-cutting, life education, photography, environment and health, and science and technology library. In these courses, the school puts the cultivation of students' scientific and technological spirit, scientific and technological ideas and methods in expanding classroom teaching, so that students' scientific and technological literacy can be improved, thus comprehensively improving students' comprehensive quality. In the inquiry course, we should pay attention to the design and implementation of students' research-oriented scientific and technological practice activities, and pay attention to the process guidance and multi-dimensional evaluation of students' scientific and technological activities. Some scientific and technological papers written by students were published in Xuhui Science and Technology Brochure, and some articles won prizes in scientific and technological competition papers. Inquiry course highlights the cultivation of students' scientific and technological autonomy, innovative consciousness, practical ability and cooperative spirit, and provides a platform for students' sustainable development.

5. Multi-dimensional infiltration of hidden courses to create a scientific and technological atmosphere.

In the hidden curriculum, attention is paid to science and technology education, which is imperceptibly embedded in the campus environment and campus culture. We have established a regular popular science propaganda position, and carried out popular science propaganda to students through blackboard newspapers, radio, closed-circuit television and science and technology corners. Strive to create a campus cultural atmosphere for akg to learn science and technology. We often carry out science and technology education in the form of flag-raising ceremony, afternoon meeting and special lectures on science and technology. For example, in the science and technology education with the theme of energy saving and emission reduction, we conducted lectures and questionnaires on environmental protection knowledge in the eighth grade. During the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, we educated all teachers and students on how to prevent natural disasters (DVD educational film). The brigade also actively carried out the special activities of "welcoming the Expo and finding bad habits" with the theme of energy saving and emission reduction in various squadrons, and hung up the campus network to show the evaluation, so that students can cultivate their scientific literacy through multi-channel and multi-form learning.

The school established the homepage of "Tian San Sunshine Technology" on the campus network. The main columns are: science and technology education flash news (video), activity information, popular science window and science and technology salon. So as to gradually establish an interactive platform for scientific and technological activities with the participation of schools and communities, and further improve the trinity scientific and technological education network of schools, families and society, so as to make Tiansan's sunshine science and technology radiate to communities and families and create an educational atmosphere in which everyone pays attention to and participates in science and technology.

6. Participate in all kinds of science and technology competitions at all levels to help top scientists stand out.

For junior high school students who are proactive, self-motivated and have strong hands-on ability, all kinds of science and technology competitions at all levels can stimulate their interest and enthusiasm for science and technology education. At the same time, the process of actively preparing for and participating in the competition itself is also an important part of science and technology education. In recent years, we have seized the opportunity to organize such students to participate in the following competitions and achieved remarkable results. In 2007, we participated in the World OM Mind Olympic Innovation Competition held in Germany, and got the fourth place. Since 2008, we have made the following achievements:

(1) National primary and secondary school students' series competition of "Cherishing and Caring for Water Resources".

(2) Shanghai Intellectual Olympics Competition

(3) Intel Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition

(4) Olympic Challenge of Urban Thinking (5) Electronic Knowledge and Skills Competition for Urban Teenagers "Electronic Communication" Experimental Competition

(6) City Youth Invention and Design Competition

(7) The "rising star of science and technology" of the city

(8) City "Golden Key" Competition

(9) Urban Environmental Protection Knowledge Competition

(10) The "Sharp Cup" Youth Solar Model Hands-on Competition of Solar Energy Environmental Protection and Decontamination Series Competition

(1 1) Tomorrow's science and technology star, airplane model, modeling, car model contest, paper structure, copper-wood structure, shuttle bus, original boat car, classic car, big wheel race, life education series activities, and science and technology forum contest.

By participating in these high-level competitions, top students in science and technology stand out and a backbone team of scientific and technological activities is formed.

7. Establish the students' scientific and technological societies in the school to improve students' scientific and technological literacy in an all-round way.

Create conditions and actively form scientific and technological societies and interest groups to meet the different needs of students. In recent years, the school has established three societies (OM Mind Olympic Society, Solar Studio Society and Creative Robot Society) and five interest groups for scientific and technological activities (scientific and technological books, photography, scientific and technological essays, science fiction painting, health care and so on). ), and gradually form the backbone of different levels of scientific and technological activities and enthusiasts echelon. The backbone of scientific and technological activities has always been at the forefront of all schools in Shanghai in major competitions. For example, the solar community participated in the National Suntech Cup Solar Creative Works Competition this year, won the second place in the national finals, and was rated as a national innovative school. The creative robot community also participated in community science popularization activities and won the second prize.

The annual science and technology festival has become a hot activity in school science and technology education, which mainly carries out three series of activities: popular science propaganda, popular science practice and popular science competition. Specific activities include: the special issue of the blackboard newspaper "Technology is around us", the selection activity of the computer tabloid "Technology and Environmental Protection", the popular science English quiz activity, the technology film perception and film review activity, the "turning waste into treasure" technology production contest, the "new energy development and utilization" technology invention contest, the "I invent and I create" works selection activity and so on. We strive to make every activity have a distinct theme, such as solar water wheel, solar cleaning boat series, solar circulating water car washing and so on. In the "New Energy Development and Utilization" Science and Technology Invention Competition. Through these activities, the needs of students interested in scientific and technological activities have been met, and scientific and technological education has been popularized.
