Characteristics of Jiangmen Experimental Middle School

Teaching research promotes teaching, strengthens the school through scientific research, and constructs the dynamic mechanism of successful education.

Jiangmen Experimental Middle School, as an ordinary middle school in Jiangmen City, has no outstanding student source conditions. However, since 1995 class graduates took the senior high school entrance examination for the first time, Jiangmen Experimental Middle School has been ranked first among similar junior high schools in the city for many years. In all kinds of subject competitions at all levels, the school's players also frequently return home with honors. In the past three years, 1 16 people won national awards, and 1 19 people won provincial and municipal awards; Peng Lan also won the second prize of Soong Ching Ling Scholarship awarded by the Ministry of Education. The benefits of running a school are increasingly optimized.

(1) Determine the strategy of research-oriented schools and carry out all-round and multi-level teaching and research.

Impressive achievements come from solid and creative teaching and research work. Focusing on the overall improvement of students' subjective quality, the school has established a four-level scientific research management network of "principal leadership-guidance office management-branch implementation-individual completion", forming a multi-level tower teaching and research system of individuals, branches, schools, cities, provinces and countries, and realizing "every subject has a topic and everyone engages in scientific research". Under the guidance of experts such as Professor Zhu Zhiting of East China Normal University and Professor He Jinjun of Jiangmen Institute of Education, the school has also carried out comprehensive practical curriculum research on the integration of modern technology and curriculum, the coordinated development of junior middle school students' personality and cognition and its educational model, and the spirit of "autonomy, cooperation and inquiry". By guiding students to study actively and individually, we can see that at present, there are 4 1 projects at all levels in the school, including 2 national key projects and 1 projects at provincial and municipal levels. In 2002, the school was designated as the "Research and Experimental Base for Innovative Teaching and Creativity Cultivation" of the Tenth Five-Year Plan of National Education Science. Nowadays, teachers from school principals to all subjects and groups are involved in teaching and research, forming a strong academic atmosphere of "learning in the teaching process and teaching in the research state". In the past three years, six teachers in this school have won provincial and municipal scientific research achievement awards, and 128 people have published or won provincial and municipal paper awards. President Li and Director Feng were successively rated as "Advanced Workers in Education and Scientific Research in Jiangmen City".

(2) Actively carry out curriculum reform and improve the quality of education and teaching through multiple channels.

In order to meet the requirements of the new curriculum reform, the school has taken various measures to promote the professional development of teachers and strengthen their quality. Pay attention to the practical change of teachers' teaching concept, and on the basis of abandoning the traditional concept of "preaching, teaching and solving doubts", do everything possible to guide all teachers to firmly establish the modern teaching concept that "teachers are partners, guides and participants in students' learning, and the teaching process is an interactive process of teacher-student interaction and common development" and take this as guidance.

Students are the main body of learning and development. According to the physical and mental development of students and the characteristics of junior high school subjects, we made the following attempts. First, choose and add teaching content flexibly. Based on the new curriculum concept of "education must be oriented to students, life and society", a large number of students' favorite learning contents are supplemented on the basis of earnestly completing the regular teaching tasks and combining with the actual subject. For example, the school-based curriculum textbook "Beautiful Jiangmen" compiled by the Department of History, Geography and Health can subtly cultivate students' sincere feelings of loving and building their hometown, even if they know Jiangmen from the aspects of natural environment, population resources, celebrities and historical sites, workers and peasants, and transportation. Second, actively advocate independent, cooperative and inquiry learning methods, from the determination of teaching content, the choice of teaching methods to the design of evaluation methods, and guide students to learn actively and individually. For example, the Biology Department cooperated with Jiangmen Environmental Sanitation Bureau to organize a survey on "Garbage Disposal and Environmental Protection in Jiangmen City", and its constructive research results won sincere praise from the environmental sanitation department. Third, we should not only pay attention to the cultivation of ability, but also pay attention to the coordinated development of personality. In the teaching process, while vigorously cultivating students' profundity, flexibility, originality, criticism and agility, we should always pay attention to the correct guidance of students' emotions, attitudes and values.

(3) Activating the second classroom and strengthening the achievements of quality education.

School education is only a part of students' long life. From the perspective of students' lifelong development, the school organized teachers and students to carry out a variety of elective courses, second-class activities and various disciplines competition counseling, and set up 28 second-class groups in art, style and technology, which opened up a broad garden for tapping students' potential, giving full play to their specialties and cultivating students' various interests. The "three guarantees" of extracurricular activities are to ensure time, funds and quality. The activities are rich and colorful, covering all aspects of students' interests: there are "environmental slogan competition" and "art hand-painted works exhibition" which stimulate the spirit of innovation, explore the integration of disciplines and closely link with social life; There are "aviation model competition", "computer network competition" and "robot competition" that fully show students' love for science and application, literary club activities to cultivate creative talents, English sketch performances to exercise English conversation ability, chess and Go training that integrates games and competitions ... Because the second class is close to the reality of students' modern life, students' interest and innovative spirit are stimulated from their physical and mental development, and students actively participate in activities and enjoy the sweetness of success. In the city's model airplane competition, the school players ranked first for five consecutive years; In recent three years, 8 people won provincial prizes in various computer competitions, and 13 people won municipal prizes. Wang Su, a student of our school, won the first prize in the city-wide English storytelling competition in 2002. Tony Gunawan won the second place in the provincial youth Go competition and the first place in the city. Feng, Wu Yingshan and Pang won the second prize in the creative exhibition and evaluation of physics experiment design for middle school students in the new World Cup in Huafu, Guangdong. Zhao,,, "Alarm Fire Extinguisher" won the third prize; Teachers Chen Weibing and Ling Jie won the second prize.

(4) Focus on the sustainable development of the school and pay attention to the guidance and foresight of scientific research.

In the pursuit of teaching reform and scientific research, the school emphasizes the combination of teaching and scientific research and the combination of theory and practice. The experiment of "the coordinated development and model of junior middle school students' cognition and personality" and "hierarchical teaching" carried out by the school is a typical example of the organic combination of scientific research and teaching. In view of the uneven number of students in this school, these two questions divide students into several grades according to their actual level. On the basis of ensuring that all students meet the basic requirements, higher requirements are put forward for the top students, so that the underachievers can "eat well", the middle students can "eat well" and the top students can "eat well". In the process of education and teaching, both intellectual and non-intellectual factors, rational and irrational factors, intellectual cultivation and sound personality shaping are equally important, so that all kinds of students can develop on the original basis.

In terms of teaching reform and forward-looking scientific research, the school highlights the openness, advancement and innovation of teaching and scientific research. The national project "Integration of Modern Technology and Curriculum under the Information Condition" is guided by quality education theory and based on modern education theories such as information theory, subjectivity theory and constructivist learning theory. It integrates information technology with various subject courses, explores how to guide students to make full use of the Internet, cultivate students' ability to obtain information, analyze information, use information and create information, and study and study the topic by using the characteristics of large amount of information and convenient access, so as to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability. It has accumulated valuable experience for curriculum reform and teaching under the new situation of the increasing popularization of modern technology in the future. 2. Specializing in educating people and paving the way for each student to successfully bridge the bridge.

Based on the successful education idea that "Dont Ask For Help people pay attention to the key points, but everyone is expected to develop and progress", the professional education of "guiding students to pursue all kinds of success" has always been the main purpose of the school. The school takes the traditional four characteristic projects of "art, sports, computer and airplane model" as the characteristic plate, and takes art education as the breakthrough to develop students' personal specialties and cultivate "qualified+specialty" talents. The school has successively cooperated with Jiangmen Children's Ballet and Jiangmen Philharmonic Choir, established three ballet classes and two chorus classes, and also developed a number of artistic interest groups such as dulcimer, chorus, dance, art ceramics, calligraphy and painting. On the basis of carefully grasping the teaching routine of music art, the school explored the road of art education of "one section, three exhibitions, three determinations and five combinations". "One Festival" is the annual Jiangmen Experimental Middle School Art Festival, which provides more students with opportunities to taste the joy of success through cultural performances, chorus competitions and art competitions. The "three exhibitions", namely dulcimer performance, ballet and chorus classes, calligraphy, painting and photography exhibitions, art and ceramics exhibitions, set up a stage for successfully exploring students' artistic potential. "Three decisions" means that a person is responsible for hiring professional dance and singing teachers to teach; Regular, daily activity classes and evening classes are training time; Fixed location, that is, guaranteed site. "Five combinations" means the combination of key training and extensive popularization, professional training and regular exhibitions, observation and learning and pioneering and innovative, centralized training and individual counseling, and classroom teaching and extracurricular activities.

Solid and lasting art education will enable students in Jiangmen Experimental Middle School to grow sturdily like Yangchun flowers and trees, fully tap their artistic potential and continuously improve their humanistic quality. Lala Hsu won the second prize in the provincial accordion competition in 2000. In 2002, at the first art festival of Jiangmen City (under the jurisdiction of four cities and three districts), the school chorus, ballet and dulcimer performance won the first, second and third place in the junior middle school group of the city, and the total score of the group was the first in the city. They held many special report performances in the East Lake Theatre, the Auditorium of the Municipal Government and the East Lake Square Dance Stage, and their wonderful performances won sincere praise from the educational delegations of the United States, Australia and Hong Kong. As the only junior high school team in Jiangmen City, the school's art troupe participated in the first cultural performance for primary and secondary school students in Guangdong Province and won the second prize in Guangdong Province. The choir also participated in the Austrian International Chorus Festival at the invitation of the Chinese Chorus Association (which could not be held due to SARS). Among them, Wang Tiantian, the monitor of dulcimer class, was named as the first provincial "three good students" in Jiangmen junior high school because of his artistic hobby, and Chen Rui, a student of dance class, was named as a provincial "model citizen".

Eight students won national, provincial and municipal awards for their calligraphy, painting and photography works; Students' paintings and calligraphy works were hung on the edge of the school corridor, which won praise from students and parents, not only beautified the environment, but also made the authors experience the taste of success, setting an example for more people, and 14 people were admitted to art colleges.

Conscientiously implement the "School Health and Physical Education Regulations", and on the basis of grasping the teaching routine of "two courses and three exercises", the school initiated the "May 1" series of physical education class. "Five" means five special training teams: track and field, football, basketball, badminton and table tennis; "Three" means ensuring three training periods: morning, middle and evening; "One" is an annual sports festival. Since its establishment eleven years ago, the school has won the first place in the municipal middle school students' sports meeting eight times, the second place and the third place ten times, and has trained four national second-class athletes; The results of the physical education senior high school entrance examination won the first place in the city eight times. Therefore, the school was rated as "advanced unit of mass sports in Guangdong Province". In addition, in the computer production competition for primary and secondary school students held in the province, it won the first and second prizes in the province for three consecutive years.
