Recently, Ms. Dai from Yongjia, Wenzhou, reported that teachers in her son's school often assign homework to children on the mobile APP, and she was worried that doing so for a long time would damage children's eyesight. The reporter found that many school teachers use mobile APP to arrange homework, and teachers and parents have different views on the pros and cons.
Parents: Worried about children's dependence on game-based homework.
Ms. Dai's son Xiaoou (pseudonym) 12 years old, studying in a primary school in Oubei, Yongjia.
Not long ago, Xiao Ou said that the blackboard was blurred, and Ms. Dai immediately took the child to the hospital to have her eyes examined. The examination results show that Xiao Ou is not nearsighted, and blurred vision is probably caused by eye fatigue. The doctor advised him not to use electronic devices such as mobile phones for a long time.
"I almost don't let my children touch mobile phones and computers." Ms. Dai said that school teachers often assign homework through mobile apps, and sometimes there are such homework in several disciplines. It is precisely because of this that children will inevitably use mobile phones when doing homework, and they will use them for a long time every time.
Mr. Feng's son Xiaoye (a pseudonym) is in the third grade in a primary school in Longwan. Teacher Feng said that teachers usually assign homework on a mobile APP called "Work Together". This software is divided into student client and parent client, which can practice listening, learn oral English and do homework quickly. When using the software, you can get the homework assigned by the teacher by logging in through your account, and you can submit it after completion. Take English homework as an example. Doing homework is like playing games. After completing the homework, the system will reward the children for "learning beans" in exchange for the corresponding prizes.
Teacher Feng thinks that children are willing to accept the educational operation mode, but he is worried that children will rely on this gamification operation mode and even play mobile games unconsciously.
Teacher: It helps teachers to check the completion of students' homework.
How does the school view this brand-new way of homework? Wu Shuo, a Chinese teacher in Wenzhou Primary School, has a high frequency of using online education in their school, and has already become a good helper for teachers' teaching and students' learning. In the first half of 20 16, the school introduced the homework APP "Little Blackboard", which is now used in almost every class. In the application, each class has its own group, and students can participate in the discussion.
Wu believes that assigning homework through the network is also convenient for teachers to check the completion of homework. For example, she asked the students to go home and recite the text. This is oral homework, and some students may not finish it consciously. But this can be avoided by handing in homework online by mobile phone software.
In addition, at the end of each semester, the "small blackboard" will automatically count the students' homework completion data for the whole semester, which can better assist teachers to help students make up their shortcomings and give full play to their specialties. As for parents' worries about their eyesight, Wu said that online work's normal completion time is usually controlled at around 10 minute.
Education expert: Online education has many benefits, but it should be supervised and guided.
Qi zhou, an education expert, believes that online education has its unique advantages compared with the traditional way of homework completion. For example, it is convenient for teachers to quickly and accurately obtain the students' homework completion on that day, and the big data statistics at the end of the period can also intuitively evaluate the students' homework completion in stages. For young primary and middle school students, lively homework is also beneficial to their study.
However, everything has its two sides, and online education also has its disadvantages. For example, if it is used for too long, it will affect children's eyesight, and parents should strictly control it. Also, during the use period, some students who are not self-disciplined will use it to play mobile games. Parents should do a good job of supervision at this time. The popularity of smart phones has given birth to convenient and intelligent online education. With good supervision, guidance and communication, online education can be used for education and learning.
