Some middle schools incorporate study tour into comprehensive quality evaluation schools: broaden their horizons

Recently, primary and secondary schools have ushered in the upsurge of study tour, and many schools organize students to study abroad and at home. The reporter visited and learned that some middle schools in Beijing have incorporated students' travel performance into the comprehensive quality evaluation system.

According to the policy of Beijing Municipal Education Commission on March 20th19th19th, comprehensive quality evaluation will be included in the results of senior high school entrance examination for the first time. According to the policy, high school enrollment is divided into four stages: early enrollment, school enrollment, unified enrollment and supplementary enrollment. Among them, the admission score of the school places consists of the scores of the senior high school entrance examination, the comprehensive quality evaluation of junior high school and physical education class. The score of the cultural course and comprehensive quality evaluation of the senior high school entrance examination is 540 points, which is included in the ratio of 7:3.

While studying abroad is hot, some parents also report that although most study tours are voluntary, they are "afraid not to report" because the school has included them in the comprehensive quality evaluation. In this regard, the school said that voluntary participation in study tours can also be replaced by other practical activities.

Many schools in Beijing offer study tours.

Recently, the Beijing News reporter visited several schools in Haidian and Dongcheng District of Beijing. According to parents and students, Haidian Campus of Beijing Experimental School, Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 109 Middle School, Guangqumen Middle School and Beijing No.50 Middle School have all started to study, including Nanjing, Hangzhou, Canada and Australia. Among them, the middle school affiliated to Beijing Institute of Technology and the junior high school of Haidian Campus of Beijing Experimental School have included study tour in the comprehensive quality evaluation system.

Two junior three students from a middle school in Haidian District told reporters that they participated in a five-day study tour in Beijing and Hangzhou during their sophomore year. According to reports, the study tour will be included in the comprehensive quality evaluation, and their class is voluntarily registered. Another junior two student took part in a research trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou last semester, and their class asked everyone to sign up. The reporter contacted the relevant person in charge of the school's research travel project, and the other party did not respond to this.

A middle school in Dongcheng District has set up domestic study tours and "overseas courses", both for senior three students. This year, the school's "overseas courses" activities went to Canada and Italy for about two weeks. The reporter interviewed five students in this school. Except 1 who signed up for the "overseas courses" program in Canada, the other four students did not sign up.

The person in charge of the school's foreign projects told the reporter that the "overseas courses" were recommended by the international education exchange center of the District Education Commission and other institutions to the schools in the whole region. Students from home and abroad were arranged to exchange visits during the winter and summer vacations, and students voluntarily signed up. The content of the activity is mainly curriculum education, and students communicate with local teachers and students at close range. In addition, the person in charge said that the activity has nothing to do with comprehensive quality evaluation.

The person in charge believes that, unlike family traveling alone, such activities are mainly academic. "Different students may get different benefits from activities, but in general, such activities provide a platform for students, which is conducive to broadening their horizons, increasing their knowledge and improving their overall quality."

Urge sb. to give an interview

Parents worry that the activity is "semi-compulsory". School: Independent practical activities are also counted.

Mr. Wang (pseudonym), a parent of a junior high school student in Haidian District, told the reporter that in June, the school will organize students to study in the south, and most of the more than 30 students in the class have signed up. "The activity is voluntary, but I heard that the travel society is linked to the comprehensive quality evaluation score, and I dare not report it, for fear that it will have an impact on children." Another parent, Yu Xiansheng (not his real name), thinks that study tour is very meaningful, but he thinks that activities should not be linked with comprehensive quality evaluation. "Comprehensive quality evaluation will be included in the results of the senior high school entrance examination. Isn't this a semi-compulsory activity? " When the reporter asked him if he knew what the study tour had to do with the comprehensive quality evaluation and how to calculate the score, Yu Xiansheng was unclear.

The reporter then consulted the relevant person in charge of the school as a parent. According to the person in charge of the school, the comprehensive quality evaluation includes five aspects: ideological and moral character, academic performance, physical and mental health, artistic accomplishment and social practice. The so-called study tour is linked with comprehensive quality evaluation, which means that in the social practice of students' comprehensive quality evaluation platform, study tour can be recorded as social practice, can be voluntarily participated, or can be replaced by other practical activities. According to the person in charge, such activities can be organized by schools or carried out by students during holidays. As long as there are photos and other relevant certificates, they can be confirmed by teachers.

The relevant person in charge of a middle school near Guangming Road in Dongcheng District told the reporter that the school's high school study tour can be voluntarily filled into the comprehensive quality evaluation platform by students, or it can be replaced by other contents such as club activities and elective courses. It is reported that there is no study tour in the middle school of the school, but there is a "learning agriculture" activity, which mainly organizes students to attend a week-long learning agriculture activity in Beijing.

Parents say that some charges are commercial. The school will negotiate with the travel agency.

At present, most schools cooperate with travel agencies to carry out research trips, and the itinerary and price are initially drawn up by travel agencies. Among the schools visited by reporters, the domestic five-day study tour price is generally 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, and the overseas two-week study tour cost is about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Most of the students interviewed choose to study and travel in China. In addition, in terms of cost information disclosure, only a few schools visited by the reporter disclosed the details of the cost of study tour to their parents, while the rest only provided the total cost to their parents.

On the itinerary list provided by a junior high school student in Dongcheng District, there are two "overseas courses" to Canada 1 1 day and 12 days, with a total cost of 34,800 yuan, but the list does not list the cost details.

A middle school in Haidian District disclosed the details of the charges to parents. On the list of study tours provided by Mr. Wang, the reporter saw that the five-day study tour cost 3,980 yuan, and the places visited included the Memorial Hall for Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, the West Lake and the Lu Xun Memorial Hall. There are also many educational contents in the itinerary, such as attending lectures at Nanjing University, thanking teachers in Hanfu, and exploring optical phenomena in Hangzhou West Lake.

"Let the children go out with the school and broaden their horizons. As a parent, I am very much in favor of it. The total price is acceptable. The school lists the details of the fees, which is very transparent. " Mr. Wang said. However, he questioned some specific items in the charge details, such as the theme banner of the event, 50 yuan, 80 yuan, and the service fee, 250 yuan. "The original intention of study tour is education. Is this charge too commercial? "

As a parent, the reporter consulted the relevant person in charge of the school on the price issue. The person in charge said that for the study tour activities in Beijing, the school will generally entrust the travel agency to initially set the itinerary and price, and the school will communicate with the travel agency to reduce the price as much as possible. Regarding the problems reflected by the reporter, the person in charge said that he would report to the school leaders and negotiate with the travel agency.

All parties shall * * * business investigation plan.

In response to parents' queries, Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 2 1 Century Education Research Institute, thinks that there is no problem in linking study tour with comprehensive quality evaluation, but suggests that the school hold a parents' hearing in advance to listen to parents' and teachers' suggestions on study tour plan, specific project price, activity content and comprehensive quality evaluation method. "Parents can ask questions at the hearing and then negotiate with schools and travel agencies." Xiong Bingqi said that many parents are not clear about the comprehensive quality evaluation scheme and how to implement it, which shows that there is not enough transparency.

"Comprehensive quality evaluation emphasizes objective truth. When promoting, we should combine the students' situation, treat each student fairly, and form a perfect platform system to evaluate students' learning ability, physical and mental literacy and other aspects. " Xiong Bingqi said that study tour can be used as the basis of comprehensive quality evaluation, but in the evaluation process, students' performance and gains in activities should be paid attention to, not the number of times they participated in activities. In addition, the content of study tour should be rich, and students' experience process should be really valued. If the comprehensive quality evaluation emphasizes experience, it will be formalized, go through the motions and compare with each other.

Xiong Bingqi believes that if the study tour is done well, it can broaden students' horizons, understand the local customs and educational environment in other regions, cultivate students' team consciousness and enhance their interpersonal skills.

interconnection

Many provinces have included study tours in their education plans.

In 20 16, the Ministry of Education and other 1 1 departments issued the Opinions on Promoting the Study Tour for Primary and Secondary School Students, proposing that primary and secondary schools should evaluate the situation and effect of students' participation in the study tour, and gradually incorporate the evaluation results into the student credit management system and the student comprehensive quality evaluation system.

The reporter found that at present, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces have included study tours in primary and secondary education and teaching plans. Among them, Sichuan Provincial Department of Education and other 1 1 departments 20 17 and Guangdong Provincial Department of Education and other 12 departments 20 18 all issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Study Travel for Primary and Secondary School Students" in this province, requiring that the evaluation results of students' participation in study travel be included in the student credit management system.
