"Lazy" has to assign homework to students, "lazy" has to let parents sign off on their children's homework, and even "lazy" has to give lectures to students. Love to throw questions in class, watch the tiger fight across the mountain and watch students argue endlessly about this... In the Ink Lake Primary School affiliated to Central China Normal University in Wuhan, there is such a different "lazy teacher", but it can be unanimously praised by students and parents. Why?
The "lazy teacher" is named Zhang Qing, who is 42 years old this year. In the past few days, Jimu News reporters have interviewed his story.
The "three lazy" teachers bring out high-level classes
"Students, you know what scores you know", "I still want to know how the scores are produced", "I want to know how the scores are classified"... Walking into Mr. Zhang Qing's math class, you can find that his class is a little different: he is good at introducing knowledge into the classroom by asking questions, and leading students to actively explore knowledge points.
When explaining "The Meaning of Fractions" to students, Zhang Qing will collect all the knowledge that students want to know about scores and write them on the blackboard, and freely discuss the students in groups. At the end of the discussion, the group assigned a classmate to the stage to defend, whether the content is correct or not, and the students in the audience are free to argue. After the students argued, Zhang Qing pointed out their views and drew conclusions. In order to let students learn to explore independently, he made a rule for himself: in a class, he cannot speak for more than 40% of the time.
"I encourage students to speak from their own thinking point of view, to say it correctly, students are easy to understand, and they like to listen." Say wrong, just the right medicine, correct mistakes and fill in the gaps. Zhang Qing said that in the past teaching, it was found that teachers talk too much, students' sense of participation in the classroom will be reduced, and the efficiency of the classroom will not be high. Starting in 2019, he tried to return the classroom to the students. He always likes to say "please tell me", "do you agree with his statement", "do you have any questions", etc., through easy guidance and correct evaluation, let students learn how to learn.
Not only is it "lazy" to talk about it in class, Zhang Qing sometimes even has to "lazy" to change his homework. "Most of our math homework is done by mutual evaluation by the students in the class." Student Chen Haoyang said that the teacher advocates group cooperative learning, let the students check and evaluate each other's classroom homework in groups, divide and cooperate within the group, layered and matched, and students with strong abilities are "little teachers". With the help of the "little teacher", the learning is slightly worse, and it is also slowly improving. He also had each group compete and urged his classmates to take their homework seriously. When mistakes are found, students can guide each other. And he, just take care of acceptance and review.
The third "laziness" is to be lazy to change the test paper. According to the different learning ability of students, Zhang Qing divided students into different levels of study groups, each group clarified the scope of questions suitable for group members, the style of questions, and everyone came to be a paper writer. For example, one of his classmates participates in the proposition, and the others come to make his paper. After doing it, it is returned to the person who gave the paper for correction, and the person who produced the paper will explain the wrong question. Students of the same level, through the exchange of papers, mutual examination, and mutual evaluation, everyone's enthusiasm for learning has increased.
Such "lazy" teachers bring out students who are all high-level, and the overall academic performance of students is among the best in Hanyang District. "Because the students' inner potential is maximized, the students truly become the masters of learning." Teacher Zhang Qing's class has a positive work style and a strong learning style. The relevant person in charge of the Education Bureau of Hanyang District of Wuhan City introduced.
Children basically do not bring home math homework
"Although my child is in fifth grade, my wife and I came home from work and basically didn't have to help her with her math homework because she did it every day at school." As a parent in Zhang Qing's class, Yu Fenghua feels that managing children is very "worry-free". You don't have to help your child with math or sign off on homework. "Many colleagues and friends are very envious of our being 'reduced', and also envy that the children's sleep time is more guaranteed." He said.
The homework assigned by Zhang Qing generally requires the child to complete it at school. In the past, he always encountered a puzzled problem, "Obviously, the students have done their homework well after returning home, but when they take the exam, the same knowledge points will still be wrong." What's the problem? Through the summary of experience, he feels that the problem may lie in parents giving children homework, "Adults and children think differently." Parents give their children homework, although the topic is finished, the child may seem to understand it, but does not really understand. However, the answer on the homework is correct, resulting in the teacher not being able to find the problem in time when grading. ”
"Professionals do professional things, home schools have their own division of labor, children do not learn to understand, teachers are responsible." On weekdays, Zhang Qing will assign homework to students in advance and take advantage of the break time such as recess to make corrections in advance. Almost every day after school, he would leave the children with learning problems and give them voluntary make-up lessons. 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. ... Analyze, guide, explain to the child over and over again, until the last child is sent away and handed over to the parents, he does not leave the school. Teachers who live near the school can often see the lights in Zhang Qing's class or office at 8 p.m.
Wang Meiyu, a parent of the students, said that it is Teacher Zhang's voluntary tutoring that makes great progress for the children, "We don't have to tutor the children's homework and re-learn the primary school mathematics knowledge." ”
The Reporter of Jimu News learned that the class led by Zhang Qing basically had no home tutoring. When a child has emotional abnormalities, learning anxiety and other problems, parents will take the initiative to seek help from him or other teachers. He often helps parents to analyze carefully and contribute ideas. When the child's learning status declines in school and the lecture is not serious, he will always patiently chat with the child, guide the psychology, correct the mind, and take the initiative to visit the home, find the reason with the parents, discuss countermeasures, and help the child overcome difficulties.
Students grow up in a "love and fear" classroom
For Zhang Qing's teaching, the students are both love and afraid: love his humor in class, afraid of his strict requirements.
"He has a lot of interaction in class, and we all like it." For example, Wei Ruoxi, a student in class five (2), said that during the epidemic last year, during the online class, before each class, Teacher Zhang would nag with his classmates, joke, and easily start a class. Because the class was interesting and informative, everyone felt that Teacher Zhang's class time passed very quickly.
The math class is loved by students, and Zhang Qing also has his own tips, "As long as students are willing to open their mouths, they must be motivated." Even if he answers the wrong question, he must find valuable content in the error and guide the students to think. At the same time, we must also put down the teacher's figure and think more from the perspective of children. ”
Wei Ruoxi said that with Teacher Zhang's encouragement and guidance, she has changed from being a little afraid of mathematics at the beginning to now loving the learning of mathematics, and the transformation is very big.
Zhang Qing enjoyed the class, where students argued endlessly about a small problem, "Such an argument seems to be a waste of time, but this is a collision of students' thinking, and they can learn to solve problems on their own in positive thinking." ”
"Don't give up on all students and don't give up!" It is his meticulous care and help that makes the children in the class lively, happy, upward and healthy. Wang Wei, principal of Ink Lake Primary School affiliated to Central China Normal University, commented.
The study of the classroom has also improved Zhang Qing's professional ability. He has won many excellent results in classroom teaching competitions, such as the first prize in the national mathematics quality class competition for primary schools in ten provinces, autonomous regions and cities in April 2017, and was named the subject leader of Wuhan in October 2019.
Having temperature and passion is a role model for young teachers
With the demonstration of "lazy" teacher Zhang Qing, the math teachers of Ink Lake Primary School also imitated him. "Teacher Zhang is a role model for our young teachers, and we have benefited a lot from learning from him." Liu Yuanchao, a young teacher at the school, said.
Last year, a teacher at the school participated in a competition, and Zhang Qing took the initiative to ask for a lesson for the teacher. Under his guidance, many teachers joined the grinding class. Now, many teachers at the school have developed a habit of finding Mr. Zhang if they have a problem.
Liu Yuanchao introduced that every time he attends an open class, Zhang Qing's class is always crowded with teachers who come to listen to the class, and his teaching angle is always so innovative, and he can combine mathematics and life. For example, when going to the bar chart knowledge point, many teachers will collect the birthdays of the whole class as the starting point, and the students may not find it interesting. But Teacher Zhang will bring into a life scene, such as the amusement park birthday month discount, using a bar chart to calculate which month is the most cost-effective to take the whole class out to play, so that all students are very interested in participating.
In addition, in the eyes of Liu Yuanchao, his "master" Zhang Qing is still a teacher with a special temperature. Once, after listening to Zhang Qing's open class, Liu Yuanchao wrote a paper based on the classroom. After the paper was written, she gave Zhang Qing help to point it out, and what she did not expect was that Zhang Qing discussed with her many times in her spare time, and helped her revise it word by word for more than a month before handing over the paper to her. Such seriousness made Liu Yuanchao unable to forget for a long time.
"Teacher Zhang is a very pure person, and he only has mathematics in his eyes. Whether it is for students or teaching, he is particularly serious. Wan Jing, secretary of Moshui Lake Primary School at Central China Normal University, said that on Zhang Qing's online social platform, he wrote down many ideas about mathematics and teaching. Every time I see the lights on in his office at night, I feel his deep love for work and life.
