Starting from making children fall in love with "different schools", the Bund Education Forum focuses on innovative education: cultivating innovative talents for innovation | schools | education
What are the rules for cultivating innovative talents that can be followed? What are the ways and methods of cultivation? How should the curriculum construction, teaching methods, evaluation standards, etc. of schools benchmark against the requirements of "innovation"? Regarding these hot issues, the Huangpu Special Session of the 2023 Bund Education Forum, titled "Innovative Education and Educational Innovation - Leveraging Innovative Education to Promote High Quality Education Development," was held on the 7th. Principal experts attending the forum conducted enthusiastic discussions and responses.
Yang Zhenfeng, Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, believes that "without educational innovation, it is impossible to cultivate innovative individuals and make children truly fall in love with the school." He believes that schools need to carry out teaching reform, consider the individual needs of different students, explore the path of cultivating top-notch entrepreneurial talents at different points, and more importantly, change the way of education, truly accumulate top-notch innovative talents, and let talents constantly stand out.
Two years ago, Tang Jiangpeng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the principal of Xishan Senior High School in Jiangsu Province, sparked a heated discussion among netizens during the "Committee Channel" of the National People's Political Consultative Conference and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, causing various media outlets to "brush the screen" at one point. On the forum, Tang Jiangpeng shared his thoughts on innovative education. He proposed that we not only need "education around the neck", but also "education around the hands", so that more outstanding and applied creative talents can emerge. Tang Jiangpeng said that another top priority for innovative education is "not to remember, to think.". He said, "Classical education often only emphasizes' education above the neck ', but if your education forgets the existence of the object and the body, this education is destined to fail." Tang Jiangpeng believed that the subdivided categories of physics and chemistry are only for human construction of knowledge systems, but the actual situation of learning these subjects is comprehensive, and the key lies in "application". He used the fuel card question in this year's Shanghai high school entrance exam mathematics as an example and believed that the reason why such "application" has stumped some children is because often teaching lacks this connection to real-life scenarios. "We should make knowledge live in use, which should be a principle we pursue in education," said Tang Jiangpeng.
Liu Xiya, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Chongqing Xiejiawan Education Group, shared the innovative educational practices of the education group. "Since 2015, we have had 250 hours of in-depth classroom interaction with Finland every year, and we have found that what we need to improve is that the proportion of time we spend studying children is much less than researching teaching content." Liu Xiya explained that schools have started to try dynamic class scheduling, allowing children to make independent choices based on their different learning experiences in each stage. "He will interact with corresponding teachers based on their personality traits. In the process of interaction, you will see that the change in learning methods is not just a change in a certain method, but a systematic change in many elements that affect learning. The response is that children, as living people, are in the learning process." What factors affect the subjective initiative and change it? "She said," Changing from indoctrination to stimulation, from passivity to initiative, autonomy, and self-discipline is one of the most typical characteristics of quality education. ".
Zhou Fei, the principal of Shanghai Caoyang No.2 High School, and Wu Zhao, the principal of Shanghai Gezhi Middle School, also introduced their innovative educational practices: Caoyang No.2 High School invites students to participate in "Caoyang No.2 Lectures" from their first year of high school to their third year, allowing them to spontaneously engage in maker activities, recording them into micro videos, and using their context and thinking to explain various knowledge points and units; Gezhi Middle School effectively connects the school curriculum with student career development, and adds 10 school-based characteristic course groups, totaling nearly 100 school-based courses in 12 major categories. On the basis of building the image of students as graduates, it further improves comprehensive quality evaluation and student career guidance, guiding students to become Gezhi people with comprehensive quality development.
Yuan Yuan, Deputy District Mayor of Huangpu District People's Government, introduced the exploration of Huangpu District in the implementation process of innovative education at the forum. In recent years, Huangpu Education has been working hard to implement the Youth Innovation Talent Summit Plan, focusing on classroom, curriculum, space, and evaluation elements to improve the implementation system of innovative education; Promote the reduction of homework control, improvement of after-school services, and transformation of educational methods, systematically build a "high-quality goals+personalized development" educational system, and promote the implementation and effectiveness of the "five management"; Focusing on the three levels of classroom, school, and region, using learning environment, teaching mode, learning guidance, digital foundation, innovative governance, and digital evaluation as the starting point, we will promote the digital transformation of education; Through the management of renowned teacher and principal studios, the cultivation of emerging teachers, educational advancement, academic monograph funding, discipline leaders, and the mobility of backbone teachers, we aim to build a high-quality, professional, and innovative teaching team.
