From November 5th to 7th, two forums in the field of education were held in Shanghai Normal University and East China Normal University. At the forum, young scholars from Shanghai Normal University and experts and scholars from the Institute of Curriculum and Teaching of East China Normal University shared academic research results on the current situation of educational reform under the background of "double reduction" at multiple levels such as policies in the Yangtze River Delta, students, parents, teachers, teachers, teacher training students, and international comparison.

On November 5th, the first Shanghai Normal University Youth Social Science Forum was held, the main forum was entitled "Collaborative Innovation of Basic Education in the Yangtze River Delta Region".

Associate Professor Wang Jian pointed out in a report entitled "Collaborative Inertia and Overlapping Consensus: Reflections on the Construction of an Effective Mechanism for the Integration of Basic Education in the Yangtze River Delta" that due to the lack of "leadership", complex member structure, uneven distribution of resources, and unbalanced development, there is currently synergistic inertia in the integration process of basic education in the Yangtze River Delta. Integration needs to be advanced by finding and building overlapping consensus.

He proposed four specific measures: clarifying common development goals and building an integrated management mechanism for education; strengthening exchanges and cooperation and building a mechanism for coordinating interests; integrating the resource base and promoting the co-construction and sharing of high-quality resources; and adhering to the "consensus of justice" and establishing a balanced guarantee system for high-quality education.

The first Shanghai Normal University Youth Social Science Forum was held, and the Youth Academic Alliance (Liberal Arts) was established at the same time.

Professor Chen Ning shared the research results on the psychology and mechanism of teachers in school reform, which were surveyed by 615 in-service teachers in primary and secondary schools in Shanghai. The study found that teachers are more active when schools implement autonomous change; teachers are more active when faced with overall change; and teachers are more active than during and at the beginning of the change phase. A positive (negative) interpretation evokes positive (negative) emotions in the subject, so promoting and sustaining the teacher's positive emotions about change in the school is a necessary condition for the successful implementation of change.

Professor Cai Dan sorted out and interpreted the policy on student development and education under the background of the "double reduction" policy, and emphasized that after the "double reduction", teachers and parents should carry out appropriate education and pay attention to the impact of parent-child relationship on children's intelligence. Cai Dan proposed that there are many factors that affect students' academic ability, such as learning motivation, learning emotions, family environment, school environment, etc., including perceptual ability, attention, memory, etc.

"Why should we reduce the burden of schoolwork for primary and secondary school students and clarify the recommended sleep time for primary and secondary school students? Studies have shown that sleep affects children's future attention control, and attention control directly affects academic performance and parent-child relationship. Cai Dan said.

Yin Houqing, president of the Shanghai Municipal Education Association, made a report.

At the 19th Shanghai International Curriculum Forum on November 6, Professor Gao Desheng of the Institute of Curriculum and Teaching of East China Normal University also used the fact that children do homework too late as a guide to creatively examine homework from an ethical perspective.

He treats family, school, and community (society) as three ethical entities, arguing that studying homework requires examining whether it fits the ethical relationship between the three. He proposed that there are four value presuppositions in homework, that is, schools and teachers have the right to assign homework, students and families have the basic conditions for writing homework, homework helps to improve academic performance, and homework helps students form good learning habits; but homework practice will produce certain ethical consequences, such as changes in the role function of family members, the impact on the relationship between students' "going to school" and "leaving school", and the infinite expansion of ethical boundaries in schools.

"Through homework, children carry the school back to the home, breaking the boundary between the school and the family. It can be said that every family is an 'affiliated school'. Gao Desheng concluded that all parties urgently need to clear the source of homework, reposition the position of each space and role in the educational relationship, and strengthen relevant research to solve the dilemma.

Yin Houqing, president of the Shanghai Education Society, pointed out in a report on November 6 that the boundaries between in-school education and out-of-school education are increasingly blurred, and off-campus education is not only a supplement to school education, but also the barriers between the two are dissolving. Yin Houqing stressed that the government-run off-campus education units should play a leading and leading role in the field of off-campus education: to become pioneers in advocating new concepts, adhering to public welfare, using new technologies, and creating new models; to become a base for adhering to the integration of five educations, cultivating core literacy, adapting to diverse needs, and exploring the law of educating people; to become a hub for coordinating social forces, adhering to the same direction of development, gathering teaching resources, and providing quality services.
