In the context of "double subtraction", what additions need to be made to promote the development of children's mental health? Tao Sha, a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University, shared his research results: Under the premise of understanding and respecting the laws of brain development, a positive psychological environment and personalized education are particularly important. She stressed that moving from "double subtraction" to improving quality and efficiency is systematic engineering, which requires a solid scientific basis.

Based on his many years of teaching and research experience, Ma Tao, director of the Information Center of the Beijing Haidian District Academy of Education, focused on sharing the "core literacy training model of disciplines that combine after-school services with classroom teaching and homework". He concluded that the way to solve the problem of teaching and learning in the "double subtraction" has changed, the classroom activities should design the corresponding experience link, the teaching design should design the corresponding evaluation link, and the learning beyond the knowledge point should be taken out of the eyes, and finally the students under the teaching scene in the "double reduction" should be comprehensively improved.

Starting from the famous "Qian Xuesen's Question", Li Qisheng, vice chairman of the Beijing Science and Technology Education Promotion Association, focused on the cultivation of innovative talents under the background of "double reduction". He said that in the new era when the world has not undergone major changes in the past century and accelerated the evolution, it is imperative to cultivate top-notch innovative talents. After-school service is an important path for the cultivation of innovative talents, and to improve the quality of education, it is necessary to open up the school curriculum and social resources, and work together inside and outside the school to promote cooperation.

Nie Xiaolin, Senior Vice President of iFLYTEK, said in his speech that in the new era of mankind entering the community of destiny, education has been inseparable from the co-creation and sharing of multiple interconnections, and after-school services are no exception. Schools are not the only educational subjects, and they need to adhere to the student-centered approach, build a high-quality education system, and build a good educational ecology with the concerted efforts of the whole society. In particular, the development of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies is becoming more and more mature, which has achieved a systematic breakthrough in the application of key technologies in the whole scenario of education from 0 to 1, and created possibilities for cracking the balance between supply and demand of high-quality courses, the efficiency and quality of service development, and the openness and integration of education governance perspectives.
