In order to focus on the difficult issues in the implementation of new curriculum and new teaching materials, highlight the integration and structural design of teaching content, and deeply explore the design and implementation of large unit teaching, the Basic Education Department of Hefei Municipal Education Bureau and Hefei Education Science Research Institute decided to hold "Large Unit Teaching Based on Subject Core Literacy - Hefei Ordinary High School 'Double New' National Demonstration Area Construction Regional Teaching and Research Week" from May 24 to 28. The activity adopts the form of on-site classes, expert comments and expert lectures, all twelve disciplines are displayed, lasting one week, and the teaching and research week activities are simultaneously broadcast live through the China Teaching and Research Network platform.
The leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau attach great importance to it, and the Basic Education Department of the Bureau and the Academy of Educational Sciences began to prepare and plan the activities two months in advance, and held coordination and layout meetings for the activities of the Teaching and Research Week many times. In March, the teaching and research staff of various disciplines convened relevant teachers in the city to carry out special seminars to determine the teaching candidates and teaching topics. In April, he discussed the teaching design with the teaching teachers, listened to the lectures in the classroom, and carried out several rounds of classroom teaching polishing from the perspective of large units and the implementation of the core literacy of the discipline. In the grinding stage, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau personally went into the classroom to listen to the lessons and guide the teachers. In addition, the Academy of Educational Sciences has close contact with the host school, the co-organizer and the teaching and research network, and has repeatedly docked, striving to achieve the best live broadcast effect and presenting a wonderful large-unit teaching activity for teachers across the country. After careful preparation in the early stage, the large unit teaching based on the core literacy of the discipline - Hefei Ordinary High School "Double New" National Demonstration Zone Construction Regional Teaching and Research Week activity was officially launched on May 24.
This seminar is a content of the construction of a national demonstration area in Hefei as a new textbook for the new curriculum of ordinary high schools, and it is also an offline and online three-dimensional teaching and research activity for the implementation of the new textbooks of the new curriculum of Hefei High School, which fully demonstrates the practical results of learning and researching new courses and new textbooks in various disciplines, and plays a demonstration and leading function.
On May 24, the first day of the Teaching and Research Week, physics and art were carried out in parallel to carry out large-unit teaching demonstration classes, which were hosted by Hefei No. 1 Middle School and Hefei No. 4 Middle School respectively, and Wang Yong, deputy director of Hefei Municipal Education Bureau, Ye Chuanping, dean of the Academy of Educational Sciences, Chen Mingjie, vice president of the Academy of Educational Sciences, Daniel Zhang Jian, and Lu Xianfa attended the lectures and gave guidance. Teachers observed and learned online through the teaching and research network platform, and the number of online lectures on the first day of the teaching and research network platform reached nearly 10,000 people, and the response was enthusiastic.
The Physics Department is tried and explored by Teacher Qin Lanping from Hefei No. 1 Middle School and Mr. Cao Mingshan from Hefei No. 8 Middle School. Teacher Qin Lanping's lecture topic is "Capacitance of Capacitors". Before the class, Teacher Qin made full preparations, and at the beginning of the class, he used a capacitor to burn red copper wire to create a situation, which successfully aroused the interest of students and stimulated their enthusiasm for exploration. Immediately after that, Mr. Qin used sensors to demonstrate experiments, group experiments, group discussions and other teaching forms to continuously deepen students' understanding of basic knowledge and concepts, and finally left exploratory questions for students to continue to explore after class. Mr. Cao Mingshan's topic is "The Relationship between Potential Difference and Electric Field Strength". Starting from the electric field formed by the high-voltage transmission line in the example, Mr. Cao asked questions through "step voltage", guided the students to explore the experiment, and came to a conclusion step by step.
After the class, Mr. Ma Yucheng, a physics teacher and researcher from Wuxi Municipal Academy of Educational Sciences, made a comprehensive evaluation of the two lessons, and pointed out the common outstanding features of the two lessons: they can take core literacy as the goal, guide teaching with real situations, appropriately set up problem chains and experimental carriers, and finally design and evaluate specific tasks. Then Mr. Ma gave a lecture on specific issues such as how to grasp the core literacy and better teach large units.
The art discipline was tried and explored by Ma Xuehua and Yang Qihan from Hefei No. 4 Middle School. Mr. Ma Xuehua's teaching topic is "Communication and Inheritance - Artistic Transmutation in the Collision of Eastern and Western Cultures", Mr. Ma taught in two parts, such as the background of the Road of Exploration of The Fusion of East and West and the painters of the Road of Exploration of the Integration of East and West, focusing on the comparison of the works of Xu Beihong and Lin Fengmian, using methods such as image reading and group cooperation, to analyze the artists' exploration of the integration of China and the West in the historical and cultural environment, and then guide the students to understand the development trajectory of art from the level of cultural understanding. Enhance self-confidence in The Culture of the Chinese Nation. Teacher Yang Qihan's teaching topic is "Times and Change - Art for Life", she leads students to intuitively feel the perceptual understanding brought by classic works, and guides students to carry out rational analysis based on history, culture and other backgrounds. At the same time, by guiding students to printmaking, they also feel the unique charm of printmaking art. In addition, Teacher Yang also guided the students to focus on the analysis of Li Hua's print "Furious Tide" group painting, so that the students fully felt the responsibility of the artists at the time of national crisis. Finally, Mr. Yang combined the current background to guide the students to perceive that art reflects the grand theme of the times and change.
Then, Xu Jun, a professor at Zhejiang Normal University and a special teacher in Zhejiang Province, commented on the classes of Ma Xuehua and Yang Qihan. Professor Xu stressed that the classrooms of the two teachers can be based on academic conditions and fully combine the characteristics of the times of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, with rich content, novel forms and profound themes, which effectively promote the realization of the fundamental task of Lide Shuren education. At the same time, Professor Xu also proposed that classroom teaching should pay more attention to students' intuitive feelings, and teaching design should pay more attention to the overall structure of large units. Finally, Professor Xu Jun gave a wonderful lecture entitled "The Connotation and Practical Approach of the Design of the Large Art Unit". Professor Xu Jun clarified the importance of large unit teaching design from the crux of fragmented teaching, and gave two kinds of unit design ideas: unit design "three questions" (whh) and constructivist learning design (cld), and then pointed out that the "mountaineering curriculum" designed by unit preparation in the form of "theme-inquiry-expression" will become the mainstream of the world curriculum development. In addition, Professor Xu Jun also shared two excellent teaching examples such as "The Flow of Prostitutes" and "The Most Beautiful Book", which provided young teachers with an example to learn from and a model to learn from.
Since its inception, the implementation of new courses and new teaching materials for ordinary high schools in Hefei has always focused on the concept and requirements of new courses and new teaching materials, closely followed the key points and difficulties in the implementation process of new courses and new teaching materials, strengthened the promotion and implementation, and continuously improved the scientific and standardized level of implementation of new courses and new teaching materials. In March 2021, the city focused on "large unit and theme teaching design and implementation", and organized and implemented a series of classroom teaching theme seminars on "large unit teaching design and implementation based on the core literacy of disciplines". The seminar in May aims to further enhance teachers' understanding of large-unit teaching with core literacy as the goal, and trigger teachers' in-depth thinking on the implementation of core literacy in disciplines. The city will continue to move forward bravely, continue to promote the classroom teaching reform under the background of the implementation of new courses and new teaching materials, and strive to do a good job in the benchmark of "double new" implementation nationwide.
