Survey report on extracurricular reading among middle school students

In study, work and life, reports are closely connected with our lives. When we write reports, we must pay attention to the rationality of logic. I believe that many friends are very troubled by writing reports. The following is a survey report on extracurricular reading of middle school students that I compiled for you. It is for reference only. I hope it can help everyone. Survey Report on Extracurricular Reading of Middle School Students 1

Books are originally the crystallization of human thought, that is, the mother and womb that inspires human thought. In the context of my country's Chinese education reform, my country officially published the "Chinese Curriculum Standards" for nine-year compulsory education in July XX. In its recommendations on extracurricular readings, it requires that "students' total extracurricular reading in nine years must reach more than 4 million words. Materials include various books and newspapers suitable for students to read." Extracurricular reading produces the meaning of life. It provides the milk for thirsty knowledge. Reading well, reading good books, and increasing the amount of extracurricular reading can not only help middle school students improve their Chinese writing skills, but also help accumulate knowledge, broaden their horizons, and increase their ability to read. Gaining knowledge, increasing experience, understanding the nature of society, developing intelligence, and cultivating sentiments have a subtle impact on middle school students' ideological and moral character, personality, aesthetic cultivation, and spiritual world; especially reading novels can feel the author's thoughts and feelings, and the social phenomena he represents. However, some people believe that extracurricular reading has a huge impact on middle school students' learning and health, and may even lead them astray.

We took advantage of this opportunity to intern at Ma Zhang No. 1 Middle School to conduct a questionnaire survey and conversation survey on the extracurricular reading situation of middle school students in classes (3), (4), and (5) of senior high school. My main purpose of doing this survey is to train myself and understand some middle school students' own situations. We hope to learn some knowledge and expand our horizons at this event.

1. Survey method

1. Questionnaire design.

In the questionnaire, I focused on investigating the general scope, quantity, type and attitude of extracurricular books read by middle school students. A sample questionnaire survey was conducted mainly from the aspects of reading methods, reading situations and content, as well as opinions on extracurricular reading and its impact on learning. The subjects of the sampling questionnaire survey are mainly students in three classes of first grade high school in Ma Zhang No. 1 Middle School. Among them, girls accounted for 56.3% of the total number of students, and boys accounted for 43.7%. Anonymous questionnaires were implemented, and the data were summarized manually and using computers.

2. Discussion interviews.

In order to more accurately understand the extracurricular reading situation of middle school students, we held student symposiums in individual classes and directly visited most of the students, talked with them, and obtained first-hand reliable oral materials.

2. Questionnaire sorting

In this survey, 234 student questionnaires were sent out, and 186 valid questionnaires were returned, accounting for 79.5% of the questionnaires sent out. Among the valid questionnaires, 54 students*** have computers at home, accounting for 29% of the total number of students, and 132 students*** do not have computers, accounting for 71% of the total students.

1. Objects of this survey

(1) Purpose of this survey Extracurricular reading of middle school students is easily ignored in Chinese teaching The quality and quantity of students’ extracurricular reading directly affects the Chinese literacy of middle school students. It also reflects the economic status of students’ families, the cultural quality of students’ parents, the school’s educational philosophy and teachers’ guidance methods. For It plays a positive role in guiding Chinese teachers to carry out Chinese teaching practice activities in the future, reminding parents of students to increase their awareness of supporting their children's reading, and suggesting that schools change their school-running ideas and improve school-running conditions.

(2) Targets of this survey

The targets of this survey are 1,194 students in the largest rural junior high school in XX City. They belong to three school years, including 8 classes with 392 students in the first grade of junior high school; 8 classes with 427 students in the second grade of junior high school; and 8 classes with 375 students in the third grade of junior high school. Among them, there are 538 children of workers, government cadres and teachers in the town, accounting for 45.1% of the total number of students. The rest are children of farmers in rural areas all over the town, accounting for 54.9% of the total number of students. The students come from the workers' children primary school, the town's first primary school, the town's second primary school and four village-level primary schools.

(5) The time of this survey

August 30, 2020

2. The current situation of extracurricular reading among rural middle school students

< p> (1) The origin of this survey on extracurricular reading among rural middle school students

The "Chinese Curriculum Standards" stipulates that the teaching objectives of Chinese courses are "knowledge and abilities, processes and methods, and emotional attitudes and values". aspects. The inclusion of processes and methods in teaching objectives is something that was not found in previous teaching syllabuses. For example, "in the process of Chinese language learning", "understand the richness and breadth of Chinese culture", "care about contemporary cultural life and respect diverse cultures"; "gradually develop a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, advocating true knowledge, and initially master scientific thinking methods" "Develop self-confidence and good study habits in Chinese language learning"; "Be able to initially understand and appreciate literary works, be influenced by noble sentiments and interests, develop personality, and enrich one's own spiritual world." All the above reflect the new orientation of Chinese curriculum standards, which is: while improving students' ability to correctly understand and use the motherland's language, special attention should be paid to enriching students' humanistic accomplishments, so as to comprehensively improve students' Chinese accomplishments. Reading is an activity for students to collect information, understand the world, develop thinking, independent reading, exploratory reading, and creative reading. Under the guidance of teachers, students can perceive and absorb the essence of works, absorb rich cultural nutrients, and enrich their own spiritual world. . At the same time, the curriculum standards also point out: "Chinese is a highly practical course" and "students should be allowed to have more direct contact with Chinese materials and master the rules of using Chinese in a large amount of Chinese practice." This shows that students’ exposure to Chinese is not limited to the Chinese classroom, but also broadens the areas of Chinese learning and application.

Students can learn Chinese through extracurricular reading and various communication media. Resources for learning Chinese and practical opportunities for using Chinese can be said to be everywhere and all the time. Let students have as much direct contact with Chinese materials as possible, which is conducive to cultivating students' good sense of language and overall ability to grasp. Curriculum standards stipulate that to increase students' reading volume, the amount of extracurricular reading in nine years must reach more than 4 million words.

Therefore, strengthening extracurricular reading for middle school students is a requirement of curriculum standards and a need to improve students’ Chinese literacy. It is increasingly important to investigate the extracurricular reading situation of rural middle school students at this stage.

(2) The current situation of extracurricular reading among rural middle school students is not optimistic, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. There are great differences in the performance of extracurricular reading among children from workers’ families in the town, children from government and institution cadre families, teachers’ children, and rural farmers’ families.

(1) In terms of the types and quantities of extracurricular reading materials, students in towns are better than students in rural areas. Among the 1,194 respondents, 538 were children of workers, government cadres, and teachers in the town, and 656 were children of farmers in rural areas. We found that 317 of the 328 people who owned more than 21 extracurricular reading materials (excluding teaching aids) were students from the town, accounting for 96.6%, while only 3.4% were children from rural families outside the town. Despite this, the 328 people who own more than 21 extracurricular reading materials only account for 3.18% of the total number of students.

(2) In terms of support for students’ extracurricular reading, parents of rural farmers are not as good as parents of workers and government cadres in towns. Survey statistics show that more than 86% of parents of workers and cadre students actively support students’ extracurricular reading, believing that extracurricular reading can not only broaden students’ horizons but also improve students’ Chinese abilities. Only 8% of rural farmers' parents expressed support for their children to do extracurricular reading, and the vast majority of these 8% expressed support because they believed that extracurricular reading could improve students' scores.

(3) In terms of extracurricular reading, students from rural peasant families are not as good as students from workers and cadre families in towns. The extracurricular reading for students from rural families can only be limited to a few extracurricular books, and they cannot borrow them from fellow villagers. In addition, the only way to obtain extracurricular knowledge is through television, and students only focus on cartoons or martial arts films when watching television. Exciting scenes or novel pictures do not pay attention to Chinese knowledge or natural science knowledge in TV works. However, students in the town have many more ways to read outside of class. In addition to buying books or electronic publications from their parents, they can also borrow books from teachers and classmates in the town. Some parents can also use libraries in their workplaces, and students with good conditions can You can read online at home, and some can participate in summer camps, winter camps, or increase their experience while traveling under the guidance of their parents. This is exactly what rural students cannot achieve.

2． The deficiencies in the construction, management and use of rural school libraries affect students' extracurricular reading.

The statistical results of this survey show that 98% of students’ extracurricular reading materials come from their families, and 2% are borrowed from others.

The school provides zero extracurricular reading materials. Moreover, the materials available to the author show that very few libraries in rural primary and secondary schools still insist on being open to students. Even if it is opened, it is just a show of opening up to students before the superior supervisor comes to inspect, so that students can leave some traces on their library cards. And many schools are no longer open to students. Reading in the school library is difficult for students, and reading in the electronic reading room is even more impossible.

3． The total amount of extracurricular reading materials for students is seriously insufficient.

⑴The number of extracurricular readings owned by students is small. In this survey, we divided "the number of extracurricular readings you own" into ①4 or less, ②5-10, ③11-20, ④21 Above, four categories. The survey statistics show that there are only 206 people who have more than 21 extracurricular reading materials, accounting for 17.3% of the total number of students in the school. There are 246 people who have 11-20 extracurricular reading materials, accounting for 27.5% of the total number of students in the school. The rest 314 people have less than 5 extracurricular reading materials. This cannot rule out the possibility that some students may list teaching supplementary materials as extracurricular readings.

⑵ Students have a single variety of extracurricular readings, mostly Tang poems, mostly Chinese four major classical novels, with fewer fairy tales, myths, fables, poetry, prose, and even fewer foreign works.

⑶Students read less. There are 472 students who have read 5-10 extracurricular books, accounting for 39.5% of the total number of students. There are 136 students who have read 10-20 extracurricular books, accounting for 11.4% of the total students, and they have read 21 There are only 112 students with bachelor's degree or above, accounting for 9.4% of the total students, while the remaining 379 students have read less than 5 extracurricular books.

It is precisely because the total amount of extracurricular reading materials for students is insufficient and the varieties are single, which directly leads to students knowing very little about the rich and splendid culture of the motherland.

4. Students have not developed good reading habits.

Students do extracurricular reading only based on interest or teacher’s requirements, and cannot read on their own initiative. In the survey, we found that students’ favorite way to learn about Chinese and foreign classics is through watching movies and TV dramas, while very few students learn about Chinese and foreign classics through reading.

Students read extracurricular books either because of the teacher's request, in order to improve their Chinese scores, and only select content related to the Chinese test to read, or because of recreation and boredom, they just read and read for a while to pass the time. Few people take reading notes during the reading process, and they don’t even know the use of reading notes or how to take reading notes.

3. Many factors affecting extracurricular reading of rural middle school students

1. Family economic status has the most direct impact on middle school students’ extracurricular reading.

Although nine-year compulsory education has been basically universalized in our city, due to the increasing expenditure on student learning fees in recent years, the phenomenon of rural student attrition has increased. Rural families have only completed nine-year compulsory education. It’s not easy, let alone buying extracurricular reading materials for students.

2． The cultural quality of students’ parents affects students’ extracurricular reading.

Most of the parents of middle school students today were born in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Most of them have received education above junior high school and are relatively supportive of students’ learning. However, in contrast, parents with higher education levels attach more importance to their students' education and extracurricular reading. On the contrary, most of the parents with low education levels are rural students. In their view, it is enough for students to learn the knowledge in the textbooks, so what extracurricular reading should they do?

3． The school’s educational philosophy and conditions limit students’ extracurricular reading.

Although quality education has been implemented in our country for many years, due to the evaluation of government schools, society’s evaluation of schools still focuses on the enrollment rate. Therefore, the school’s educational philosophy has not really transformed into Improve the overall quality of students.

Coupled with the lack of funds in rural middle schools, money is spent on the purchase and improvement of modern multimedia teaching equipment, pursuing foreignness, innovation, and expansion, while neglecting the construction and development of libraries. Management makes it so that although students are in the school where they are studying, they do not have good places to study outside of class. In addition, the school has established experimental classes and regular classes in order to increase the enrollment rate. The students in the experimental class have a good foundation, a strong learning atmosphere, and excellent extracurricular reading. There are only a few students in a school who can enter experimental classes, and most of them are placed in ordinary classes. This prevents more students from developing well.

3． The lack of teacher guidance is an important reason why rural middle school students have limited extracurricular reading and a small amount of reading.

Affected by exam-oriented education, teachers have not fully realized the role of extracurricular reading in the emotions, attitudes, and values ??of middle school students. When instructing students to carry out extracurricular reading, the starting point is still to improve students' Chinese language scores, allowing students to accumulate vocabulary, imitate sentence making, experience writing, and read for students' writing. This limits students' extracurricular reading, and students gradually lose their ability to read outside the classroom. Interest in reading instead of extracurricular reading. In addition, the heavy homework assigned by teachers also leaves students no time to do extracurricular reading.

IV. Some suggestions for extracurricular reading for rural middle school students

1. Change our thinking and establish a new outlook on talents and employment. Now the whole society should completely change the old concept of only pursuing higher education and academic qualifications in the past. In particular, the news media should publicize more ordinary students who are diligent, motivated and versatile, and should not overly publicize those who are top scorers in college entrance examinations and high school entrance examinations, so as to Establish the concept in the hearts of the masses that those who excel in learning are talents, and those who are versatile are talents. Only in this way can the whole society pay more attention to the comprehensive training of students.

2． Resolutely cancel key classes so that every student can receive a good education and truly enjoy the full sharing of resources.

3． The relationship between students and parents should be institutionalized. Let each student's parents raise their awareness, change their thinking, and strive to create good home reading conditions and atmosphere for their students in the process of communicating with the school and teachers.

4. The construction and management of school libraries should be implemented in a practical manner. Compared with other constructions in the school, the construction of the library is small but of different significance. Each school is only required to do it based on the idea of ????all-round development of students, and the library must be well constructed, managed and used well. Schools that have the conditions should actively prepare to build electronic reading rooms.

5. Teachers, especially Chinese teachers, should pay full attention to guiding students in extracurricular reading. They can list books for students, put forward requirements, teach methods, and organize some reading competitions to promote the development of students' reading habits.

5. Conclusion

This questionnaire survey on the extracurricular reading situation of rural middle school students better reflects the current situation of extracurricular reading among rural middle school students, and points out the guidance for Chinese teachers on extracurricular reading. It provides a direction for rural middle schools in the construction, management and use of libraries. It also provides a survey report on the hope that middle school students will engage in extracurricular reading to help parents of rural students change their minds and support their children in extracurricular reading activities 3

3. Analysis of the current situation of extracurricular reading among middle school students in our school

1. In terms of extracurricular reading time:

There is little reading time and extracurricular reading cannot be guaranteed. . Judging from the results of the survey, students in our school spend significantly less time reading outside class every day, with 96% of students reading less than half an hour a day and 4% reading more than half an hour a day. Judging from the reading time period, they are all concentrated on weekends and winter and summer vacations.

3. Parents’ support for students’ extracurricular reading:

Survey statistics show that more than 86% of students’ parents actively support students’ extracurricular reading and believe that extracurricular reading can not only develop Student vision can also improve students’ language skills. This kind of support is only verbal, and most of them only support it because they believe that extracurricular reading can improve students' scores. 14% of students’ parents believe that extracurricular books are idle books and a waste of time. They do not support them at all because they are afraid of affecting students’ learning. In addition, judging from the cost of books purchased by students, investment is obviously insufficient. 95% of parents of students are eager for quick success and cannot see the benefits of reading. They only want to meet the material needs of students. They would rather spend money to feed students well and drink well than pay attention to reading.

4. Methods of extracurricular reading:

95% of students only read a limited number of extracurricular books and do not have the financial ability to purchase extracurricular books. In addition, the only way to acquire extracurricular knowledge is through television.

7. Benefits of reading:

Judging from the survey results, 90% of students believe that reading can enrich knowledge, improve Chinese literacy, and stimulate the desire to create; 10% of students felt that they could not explain clearly or had no feeling. Therefore, from the perspective of their reflections on extracurricular reading, the vast majority of students handed in blank papers, that is, they had no reflections.

IV. Many factors affecting extracurricular reading of our school students

1. Family economic status has the most direct impact on middle school students’ extracurricular reading.

2. The cultural quality of students’ parents affects students’ extracurricular reading.

3. The school’s educational philosophy and conditions limit students’ extracurricular reading.

4. The lack of teachers’ guidance is an important reason for rural middle school students’ limited extracurricular reading and small reading volume.

5. Some suggestions for extracurricular reading for middle school students in our school

1. Change your thinking and establish a new outlook on talents and employment.

Now the whole society should completely change the old concepts of the past that only focus on advancement, academic qualifications, and scores. In particular, the news media should promote more ordinary students who are diligent, motivated, and versatile. We should not over-promote the top students in the college entrance examination and the top students in the high school entrance examination, so as to establish in the hearts of the masses the concept that "those who excel in studies are talents, and those who are versatile are talents."

Schools that have the conditions should actively prepare to build electronic reading rooms.

4. Teachers, especially Chinese teachers, should pay full attention to guiding students in extracurricular reading.

You can list books, put forward requirements, teach methods, and organize some reading competitions to promote the development of students' reading habits.

Survey Report 4 on Middle School Students’ Extracurricular Reading

1. Purpose of Survey

Books are the ladder of human progress. Extracurricular reading is one of the indispensable links in the spare time life of middle school students. With the introduction of the "burden reduction" policy, academic burdens have gradually been reduced and leisure time has begun to increase, which will inevitably provide opportunities for extracurricular reading in middle schools. Since extracurricular reading has become the "second classroom" for students, it is particularly important to understand the extracurricular reading situation in today's middle schools. This study investigated the different reading materials currently favored by middle school students and analyzed the reasons, so as to further understand the ideological quality and documents of the young generation. training.

2. Scope of investigation

Some middle school students of Xinhua Bookstore and Sanlian Bookstore.

3. Survey method

Questionnaire survey, 330 questionnaires were distributed, questionnaires were collected and discarded, including 280 valid questionnaires.

IV. Survey results

The survey found that more than 95% of middle school students like extracurricular reading. Since preferred reading materials vary from person to person, in order to express the results easily, we only use the most important A list of survey results is displayed.

In the "Your Favorite Books" option, both boys and girls put "Detective Mystery Novels" at the top of the list. This is not surprising to us, because this category of novels has both With their strong logic and gripping plot, they are indeed attractive to curious middle school students. Cartoons account for 42% and 51.6% of male and female students respectively. Its popularity is in line with the psychological characteristics of modern middle school students. Movie novels are emerging among boys and may become a new trend. Martial arts novels are still favored by 42% of boys. It seems that the charm of heroes still exists. In contrast, girls' preference for classical masterpieces should be closely related to their underlying literary emotions and delicate thoughts.

Girls in their prime will not miss fashion magazines. Among the "reason" options, "strong logic" and "attractive plot" accounted for 58.3% and 77.4% of male and female students respectively. This should be due to rational and emotional thinking. However, few people care about options such as "literary", "philosophical" and "intellectual", and such books have not yet become mainstream. Among the "influencing factors" options, "personal interest" occupies a dominant position. Indeed, contemporary students pay more attention to independence and individuality, but the influence of the media is indeed not small.

There are many similarities and differences in extracurricular reading among middle and high school students. In the column of "Favorite Books", "Detective Mystery" and "Cartoon Comics" ranked first and second among both junior high school students and high school students; junior high school students are still young and are more influenced by the guidance of their teachers, so "classical" Classics of orthodox education such as "Masterpieces" have also begun to attract much attention among junior high school students, and they also received 41.2% of the votes. In the survey, it is not difficult to find that the range of books read by high school students is obviously wider than that of junior high school students. "Artistic cultivation" and "military categories" are almost uninterested in junior high schools, but they have nearly 15% of the votes in high schools.

In terms of "reasons for liking", the answers of high school students are more diverse. "Attractive plot" with the highest vote rate only accounts for 61.5%, compared with 70.6% of junior high school students. The status has dropped significantly; in addition, the reason of "strong philosophy" also plays a role in high schools, rising by nearly 10 percentage points compared with junior high schools. From the perspective of "influencing factors", middle school students are slightly less concerned about the world around them than high school students. Media recommendations account for 5.88% and 11.5% of middle school and high school students respectively. It can be seen that high school students are closer to society and have better vision. Wider. As question-and-answer tactics are gradually being phased out, children should be given rich and colorful spiritual food instead. More than half of the parents fully support their children's extracurricular reading, which will surely further the development of quality education. For their favorite books, about 2/3 of teenagers choose to buy them, and about 1/3 rent or borrow them. Parents’ financial generosity provides favorable conditions for students’ extracurricular reading.

Teachers’ recommendation of extracurricular readings is a mixed blessing.

The good news is that most students accept the extracurricular readings recommended by teachers, which is enough to prove the status of teachers in the minds of students - they are role models, knowledgeable and understand the students, so they are the best guides; what is worrying is that more than half of them of teachers don’t care about students’ extracurricular reading. It seems that parents pay more attention to this issue than teachers. In fact, teachers' guidance on students' extracurricular reading is not only desirable, but also necessary. It is a link that cannot be ignored.

5. Conclusions and Suggestions

Through this survey, we have a preliminary understanding of the current situation of extracurricular reading in middle schools:

(1) The popularity of various types of books among students All have a certain influence, but everyone still focuses on interesting readings such as detectives, cartoons, and martial arts.

(2) Differences in book selection still exist due to differences in gender and age, but relatively speaking, the difference caused by the latter is more obvious.

(3) Most students have their own opinions on choosing books, but the role of the media is not small.

(4) Some teachers are concerned about students’ extracurricular reading, but there is a certain distance from the expected situation.

Based on the above conclusions, we put forward four suggestions:

(1) While fully implementing the "burden reduction" policy, we should promote the expansion of extracurricular reading, acquire knowledge in an all-round way, and broaden our horizons .

(2) Increase media publicity and regularly recommend some reading materials that follow the trend to middle school students to serve as a guide.

(3) Strengthen education in this area within the school, such as carrying out extracurricular reading elective courses, symposiums and other activities. Enable teachers and students to exchange experiences and communicate with each other.

(4) Consider incorporating some popular works into teaching materials to explore new ideas for entertaining and entertaining.
