Going to the south of the Yangtze River in the scorching heat, just for each other’s arrival

Knowing that the heat was unbearable, I rode down to the south of the Yangtze River and went straight to Nanjing, one of the "Four Furnaces".

This is my third trip to the south of the Yangtze River in recent years, to Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Nanjing. The difference is that the first two were in late autumn with a pleasant climate in the south of the Yangtze River, but this time it was a scorching sun. The scorching heat. Only after you have truly experienced the scorching heat of sweating profusely and sweating profusely can you realize how desirable autumn is when the sky is high and the air is crisp! The three trips to the south of the Yangtze River were for the same purpose: to find teachers and ask questions, and to resolve confusion.

Three days of study was short. Lying on the hard sleeper bed of the T112 train on the return trip, with the heavy roar of the westbound train and the rolling chords of the wheels, I was in an inexplicable mood that made me unable to sleep. , maybe only after recording the key points of this trip in time can I fall asleep soundly...

Project research and paper writing are the bottlenecks in the professional development of primary and secondary school teachers, and the members of my famous teacher studio are no exception. , learned that the "Third Advanced Seminar on Biology Teaching Research Topics and Paper Writing" co-sponsored by the Basic Education Research Institute of Shaanxi Normal University and "Middle School Biology Teaching" was held in Nanjing No. 1 Middle School from August 5th to 8th. It was originally planned that all nine core members of the studio would participate. After receiving the invitation letter, I contacted the unit's accountant and found out that there was insufficient balance in the studio's account. Unfortunately, I could only bring three core members to participate in this training.

At noon on August 5, the four of us arrived in Nanjing. We checked in and checked in... everything was arranged in an orderly manner. The enthusiastic service attitude and efficient work efficiency of the members of the conference team were commendable!

On the morning of August 6, more than 130 students from all over the country participated in this training.

After the brief opening ceremony, Professor Wu Juhong from the Jiangsu Academy of Educational Sciences kicked off the training with "Discussing Biology Experimental Teaching under the Concept of Core Competencies".

The lecture includes three parts: (1) understanding and interpretation of the new curriculum standards; (2) reflection on current biology experimental teaching; (3) using rich cases to inspire everyone to think: how to improve core competencies Conduct biology experiment teaching under the concept.

To be honest, I don’t know much about Professor Wu. I only read his articles in some professional journals from time to time. However, from his lectures, I can feel his passion for biology education and his commitment to biology education. The depth and breadth of understanding of the new curriculum standards, as well as concerns and expectations about the current status of experimental teaching... The lectures that explain things in a simple and down-to-earth manner are admirable! "Give yourself more time to think, and give more sincerity to the classroom." This may be the most basic requirement of the new curriculum standards for front-line teachers!

In the afternoon, Professor Xie Kaibin, deputy director of the Basic Education Research Center of Nanjing Normal University and executive editor of the "Middle School Biology" magazine, gave a lecture on "Theoretical Discussion on the Practice and Research of Middle School Biology Teaching".

Professor Xie introduced the core theoretical basis of curriculum reform, deeply analyzed the hot issues and theoretical basis accompanying the curriculum reform, and advocated everyone to think through questioning and learn through reflection. . In addition, Professor Xie also introduced the submission instructions for "Middle School Biology" and clarified the structure and standard requirements for submitted papers to help students improve the "hit rate" of submissions. Professor Xie has profound knowledge and theory, rich case reports, vivid and interesting language, and his teaching is profound and simple, which is well received by students!

On the morning of the 8th and 7th, Professor Li Gaofeng gave a report on the theme of "An Example of Biology Teaching Strategies Based on the Development of Core Competencies".

Professor Li combined the cultural foundation (humanistic heritage and scientific spirit) in the top-level design of "Chinese Student Development Core Competencies" with the biology curriculum standards for junior and senior high schools, taking the humanistic spirit in the compatibility of arts and sciences as the starting point . Professor Li combined the pronunciation of 17 biological words and the connotation definition of two-point threshold in concept teaching, interactively communicated with the teachers, and demonstrated the production of DNA double helix model, screen recording, concept map and other software applications on-site, The atmosphere of the lectures was pushed to a climax again and again...

In the afternoon, President Jiang Guilin gave a report "Reflection in Practice? Summary in Reflection - An Example of Paper Writing in Curriculum Construction".

Principal Jiang introduced his three breakthroughs in curriculum construction. He took the curriculum reform as an opportunity to fully combine curriculum construction, school construction, and personal development, showing us "Reflection from practice? The path to success has also set an example for us!

After the report, Principal Jiang asked the biology teachers of the school to lead the students to visit the "Jiangsu Environmental Biotechnology Course Base" in Nanjing No. 1 Middle School. Teacher Lu Peng introduced the base to the students. The curriculum base is constructed "with the creation of a new teaching environment as the carrier, with the transformation of teaching methods as the focus, and with activities, practice, experience, and inquiry as the main thread, to promote students' effective learning, active learning, and independent learning, improve learning interest and efficiency, and explore A new platform for comprehensive teaching and learning with potential and expertise. The "Environmental Biotechnology" course base of Nanjing No. 1 Middle School was declared in April 2015 and approved by the Provincial Department of Education in July 2015.

Based on microbial culture, with biotechnology and environment as the main line, the base builds an environmental biotechnology application platform, develops, improves and implements relevant environmental biotechnology courses, aiming to improve students' practical, innovative and application abilities and comprehensively enhance the core of biological sciences. Literacy.

On the morning of August 8, student representatives had a lively exchange and interaction.

Teacher Zhu Jian from Xiting Junior High School, Tongzhou District, Nantong City: "From 'event strategy' to 'event philosophy'".

Teacher Zhang Gaixiang of Lanzhou No. 4 Middle School: "My road to research on biology teaching in middle schools."

Teacher Guo Junying from Xuzhou No. 1 Middle School in Jiangsu Province: "Research on high school biology teaching strategies based on core competencies."

Teacher Ran Qiguo from Ran Qiguo Famous Teacher Studio of High School Biology in Guizhou Province: "Team development - cultivating temperament through project research."

Teacher Xu Dongsheng from the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University: "Sincere cooperation means we can create brilliance."

Exchange report by teacher Feng Ya from the famous biology teacher studio of Hu Baoquan High School in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.

Teacher Yan Yunxia from Xuzhou Peixian No. 5 Middle School: "Research on junior high school biology 'makers' based on the development of 'learning ability'".

Teacher Wu Jiuhong from Lishui Senior High School in Jiangsu Province: "Just for each other's arrival - a grassroots teacher's micro-teaching and research."

Finally, Nanjing teaching researcher Cen Fang summarized the exchange activities, spoke highly of this training class, and issued certificates to the exchange representatives.

? The huge truss on the campus, here, we left behind a beautiful figure. Here, I know Mr. Cao Guangzhong, a famous teacher in Xuzhou City. ?

After three days of study, we not only received training certificates and honorary certificates, but also benefited more from: the sense of urgency caused by the gap, the sense of impact caused by the concept, and the sense of responsibility caused by the mission... Teacher Training does not depend on how skilled the experts hired are, but on how much the teachers benefit from it.

The hot weather in Nanjing is suffocating and restless, but the water of Xuanwu Lake is so clear, full of agility and peace! Can’t we get some inspiration for education reform from it?
