uArt Comprehensive Innovation Practice Activities
The predecessor of Art Comprehensive Innovation Practice Activities is Art Comprehensive Innovation Activities. It has always been an important activity for art primary schools to carry out characteristic quality education and is deeply loved by students. Love, has been held three times in a row across the school.
The students’ creations and performances showed very different creative thinking and presentation methods, giving full play to the children’s unique personalities. For example, "Fishing":
●The fisherman in the wind and snow caught big fish through his own hard work (breaking open the ice to find fresh bait...).
●In the huge waves, a fishing boat was rising and falling on the top of the waves, but unfortunately it was swallowed by a large sea fish. As a result, the fisherman and the boat were rowed out from the tail of the fish, and because the large sea fish carried the fisherman and The boat was overtired and became the prey of the fishermen. The imagination is unique, bold and humorous, the expression is exaggerated, and it is highly artistically appealing.
●The humorous fisherman went fishing without bait... He didn't bring any fishing gear, he only took a small bucket to fish... He didn't bring any equipment to fish, but he caught a big fish. . The whole performance was full of laughter, and the humorous and forgetful fisherman was vividly portrayed.
In May 2004, the fourth comprehensive art innovation practice activity kicked off in the school's multimedia classroom. Six teams from senior grades participated in the first round of the competition. After more than a month of preparation and rehearsal work, the students were all confident. The first to appear was "Fight against SARS" from Class 5 (1), The young actors imitated the war of bacteria in the human body, showing the horror of SARS and everyone's efforts to fight against SARS. The realistic modeling, vivid performances, and tense music immediately attracted everyone's attention. The following programs were also more exciting than the others, and there were constant laughter and admiration at the scene. The judges and teachers also nodded repeatedly and gave high scores one by one.
The comprehensive artistic innovation practice activity is similar to "Super Change", with plots and stories, but the main focus is on students' innovative ability. Judging from the effect of the activity, students liked it very much.
u "Yihua Cup" First Instrumental Music TV Competition
The school has always attached great importance to art education. After achieving certain results in the characteristics of calligraphy and painting, it further expanded the field of art education and moved towards artistic gymnastics. , comprehensive practice, art innovation activities and instrumental music development, while hiring famous teachers inside and outside the school for guidance. In order to further promote art education and test the results of art education, the school held the first "Yihua Cup" Children's Instrumental Music Competition, which was broadcast live on the school's Rainbow TV station. Listen, the flute music is graceful, smooth, light and elegant, full of the Jiangnan silk and bamboo music style; the melodious and cheerful pipa is combined with the low and melodious piano, and the simple and elegant erhu is in contrast with the passionate and unrestrained trumpet. The beautiful tunes are sometimes exciting and sometimes lyrical, making people feel as if they have come to the green grassland and see the galloping horses; sometimes they feel like flying in the boundless ocean and listening to the singing of the waves. Some of these young art-loving contestants have been studying for five or six years, and some have just entered the first grade. They have studied hard and acquired their true skills, and they have demonstrated their talents on the art stage provided by the school. His own talents make people feel like they are entering a special concert.
The instrumental music competition reflects the rich campus culture of the school and the positive spiritual outlook of the school's students. It will also further mobilize the enthusiasm of students to become students with special talents in the school, and will contribute to improving the cultural quality and quality of art primary school students. Aesthetic cultivation plays a positive role in promoting.
u school-based courses.
The new curriculum standards propose that courses should be managed at three levels. In order to further implement the strategy of priority development of education proposed by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the State Council's "Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education", effectively carry out experimental work on new basic education courses, comprehensively promote quality education, and improve the quality of education, The goal of laying a foundation for students’ lifelong development. Based on the school’s accumulated experience in implementing quality education over the past few years, and considering the needs of students’ diversified, comprehensive, and sustainable development, it was decided to set up a school-based curriculum centered on “Comprehensive Art Innovation Practice” to further enhance the school’s school-running characteristics.
Our school-based courses are centered on "Comprehensive Art Innovation Practice" and radiate to calligraphy, painting, writing, and technology. They are full of practical characteristics and are a further extension of the school's characteristic teaching of calligraphy and painting. It can bring out and cultivate students' hobbies and interests, embodies the integration, continuation and supplement of the new basic curriculum and school-based curriculum, and can cultivate students' multi-faceted qualities and abilities.
School-based curriculum schedule: Starting from February 2004, a school-based curriculum development leadership group was established to study relevant school-based curriculum theories and collect relevant information; from April to June 2004, based on surveys and research, Determine the focus of school-based curriculum research and formulate school-based curriculum development plans and plans; From July to August 2004, organized some teachers to compile relevant materials by category; In September 2004, collected information, compiled and published the school-based teaching material "Comprehensive Art Innovation Practice"; 2004 From October 2005 to June 2005, the school-based curriculum was implemented and the school-based curriculum was gradually improved.
School-based courses are arranged for 1-2 class hours per week, using a combination of centralized use and decentralized use of class time, combined with subject integration. Depending on the specific situation, group activities, individual activities, class activities or club activities can be used .
The school invites teachers with expertise in the school to serve as full-time teachers. According to the needs of the activities, it hires experts from relevant departments and parents of students as external counselors, and conducts formative evaluations of students and teachers. In particular, teachers’ guidance should be included in the workload and work performance should be assessed.
Two: Untie teachers, optimize teaching evaluation, and make teaching distinctive.
1: Taking needs as the starting point, encourage teachers to actively participate.
In the early days of educational scientific research, to be honest, we were exclusive. We believe that educational scientific research is a matter for experts. As a teacher, you should do your job in a down-to-earth manner - just teach well and educate students well. In the great wave of curriculum reform, we are becoming more and more deeply aware of It is felt that the professional improvement of the teaching team requires teaching and scientific research as the foundation. Without theoretical level, practical experience cannot be improved.
To this end, we actively organize teachers to learn relevant curriculum reform education theories, seriously participate in various trainings, seminars and other activities at all levels, study and learn the strengths of curriculum reform in brother schools, go out, please come in, and regularly Relevant experts and scholars are invited to the school to give academic reports and hold special lectures on new curriculum education and scientific research for teachers. In particular, Mr. Wu Yingqiang, director of the Municipal Institute of Education and Science, is invited to the school to introduce information on educational reform and educational scientific research, and to guide the research of topics and thesis writing. Writing, etc., enable each teacher to understand the research methods of the project more systematically, which provides positive help for his own project research.
The school’s 35-year-old young teachers account for more than 70% of the school’s teachers. In order to better help and guide young teachers on the path of professional growth, at the beginning of the 2003 school year (August 2003), the school launched a youth teacher growth plan. The young teachers in the school formulate practical growth plans based on their own actual conditions. The plan consists of teaching and scientific research, teaching, education and other aspects. Then, young teachers make progress in learning, improve in progress, climb to the top bravely, and strive to become famous teachers, subject leaders, and even education experts as soon as possible, and work hard for the development of art primary schools.
On July 4, 2004, young teachers were divided into two groups to conduct a periodic reflection seminar on the professional growth plan of young teachers.
At the symposium, the young teachers compared their growth plans, summarized the achievements they had made in their respective positions over the past year, and reflected on the goals they had achieved this semester, the goals they had not achieved, and their reasons. , after the overall reflection, the goals and measures for the next stage of work will be prospected and formulated. Through self-reflection, they re-examined their work over the past year, especially making adjustments in cultivating their own characteristics. At the same time, through communication and the mutual influence among peers, young teachers can see their own strengths and let them I am more confident, I also find my own shortcomings, and make myself work harder, so as to strive for first-class teaching and first-class management.
The school is pleased with the achievements of young teachers and points out that it is normal to find regrets in reflection. It is valuable to be able to see your own shortcomings, and it would be a pity if you cannot see your own shortcomings. I hope that young people must first be dedicated and love education. Only by being dedicated can they achieve a high level. Secondly, they must study and build a learning school. Only by learning can they achieve a high level. Only by having both a high state and a high level can they achieve a high level. Become a competent people's teacher who can hold up the hope of the motherland.
I hope that every young teacher can better interpret "giving students the best childhood and the most solid start in life!" (Words that appeared in the eighth issue of the school magazine "Yihua")
When curriculum reform becomes the need for their own work and professional development, teachers' initiative will be actively displayed in the curriculum reform. In the past two or three years, the school has published more than 30 papers, and more than 60 papers have won first, second, and third prizes at the municipal level or above; a project has been established in the province, and 45 of the school's 48 famous teachers have taken the lead in their own projects. Responsible for projects at or above the municipal level, and has completed more than 20 projects, and more than ten projects have won awards at or above the municipal level.
2: Use activities as a platform to build a stage for teachers to display.
In the past few years, as soon as school started, we, as teachers,... I spread out the "Teaching Reference Book" and "Teaching Plan Collection" and quickly copied the lesson plans to cope with the school's lesson preparation inspection, while chatting and listening to music with relish. For post-class reflection, write a sentence after each class, which is generally: This text was very well read, and the students spoke enthusiastically. This kind of preparation and reflection for examinations not only takes up a lot of teachers' time, but also hinders the development of teachers' personality and creativity.
In response to this situation, the school conducted a discussion on how to use teachers’ subjective initiative in curriculum reform. We feel that excellent teaching plans on the Internet can indeed be used as a good sharing resource, and put forward the inspection idea of ??"lesson preparation can be shared, classes have characteristics, and after-class reflection", that is, teachers can refer to online teaching plans for lesson preparation, which can be obtained from Students should be inspired by their peers, but they must create their own class characteristics, reflect promptly and deeply after class, and actively organize and carry out some activities, using the activities as a platform to build a stage for teachers to show off.
uYoung teachers’ lesson preparation and lecture competition.
The lesson preparation and presentation competition for young teachers is held in two phases. In the first semester, there is a lesson preparation and presentation competition in Chinese and mathematics subjects; in the second half of the semester, there is a lesson preparation and presentation competition in other (skill) subjects. The competition adopts the form of on-site preparation of lessons with specified content, on-site lectures on one's lesson preparation process and design concepts to all teachers, and on-site evaluation.
The unique teaching arrangements and novel design concepts have made all the teachers deeply aware of the huge potential of our young teachers in the art school: they must not only grasp the concepts of the new curriculum well, but also apply and innovate , grasp students' actual conditions, design a teaching process that meets students' psychological requirements, choose teaching methods suitable for students' actual conditions, highlight students' status as learning subjects, give full play to students' strengths, and develop students' individuality. The use of teaching methods is diverse and lively, and the classroom design is open and democratic, which provides students with a broader space for learning, thinking, and innovation, and builds a broader platform for students to express and exercise their abilities.
The results of the competition were: Zhou Pingquan, Yang Yumei, Yu Jing, and Wang Yefeng won first prizes in Chinese, mathematics and other subjects.
u "New ideas, new classrooms" teaching competition activities.
The "New Concept, New Classroom" teaching competition throughout the school year is even more grand and lively.
In order to further implement the new curriculum reform, the "New Concept, New Classroom" teaching competition activities were also held twice in the first and next semesters.
New courses and new concepts will inevitably lead to new classes. The two courses lasted more than a month. The first half of the semester was longer and almost ran through the entire semester. The second half of the semester started on March 22. It lasts until the end of May. Class types cover a wide range of subjects: Chinese, mathematics, music, art, physical education, English, science and comprehensive activity classes, etc., with more than 30 classes per semester.
The school has actively explored classroom teaching under the new curriculum standards and made sufficient preliminary preparations. In the classroom, the classroom atmosphere of "you talk, I talk, everyone talks" makes students active in thinking, courageous to explore, and dare to ask questions, and enjoy happiness and beauty. It also gives students the opportunity to learn, choose and develop their potential, and also gives students the opportunity to learn, choose and develop their potential. It gives teachers the opportunity to accept students' challenges and curriculum generation, and gives teachers the opportunity to create and realize the value of life.
u "Entering the New Classroom with Your Children" half-day open day event for parents.
In order to further explore and improve the parent school running model and cultivate the next generation with high literacy, all our first-grade parents have also entered the new curriculum. The half-day parent open day event "Entering the New Classroom with Your Children" was held in the hot month of June.
The event was held over three days. In addition to Chinese and mathematics, there were also art classes and parent-child team activity classes. During the activity, parents sat in the classroom on time, listened carefully and attentively, and actively participated, as if they were back in their first-grade classroom and back to their carefree childhood.
One week after the event, parents’ school assignments—feedback from the lectures have been handed in one after another. Each parent student wrote about their experience with their children growing up with the new curriculum, and expressed their heartfelt thanks to the parent school for promptly popularizing family education knowledge, passing on the new curriculum education theory to parents, and further harmonizing the parent-child relationship. The holding of the half-day open day for parents also promotes the overall development of the school, improves the level of teacher education and teaching, and promotes communication between teachers and parents.
u "New Curriculum Standards Open Class Exchange and Discussion" Inter-school Friendship Activities
On the morning of April 1st, the school and Xindai Primary School and Zhongdai Primary School*** participated The "New Curriculum Standards Open Class Exchange and Discussion Activities" officially kicked off at Xindai Primary School. Six young teachers from three schools brought their carefully prepared lessons to more than 100 teachers in nine towns and villages, including five new subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, thinking, music and art. After class, there were also on-site lectures and class evaluations. Relevant leaders from the Municipal Education Bureau, Teaching and Research Office, and Institute of Educational Science also braved the rain to participate in this event. Deputy Director Zhang Hongyan and Director Wang Aimin spoke highly of this kind of urban-rural linkage and joint discussion activities. They also gave valuable advice to several young teachers and encouraged teachers to continue to work hard to study and learn the requirements and education of the new curriculum standards. The goal is to truly achieve common progress.
U monthly analysis of experimental teachers.
For better learning, practice and reflection, our experimental teachers conduct monthly analysis meetings once a month. The content of each issue has a different focus, such as school-based research and training, curriculum resource development, comprehensive practice, etc.; the format is also different, sometimes it is experience and reflections, sometimes it is case analysis or essays, or it is teaching material analysis, program design, etc. We arranged the last monthly analysis and communication in the 2003 school year in front of all teachers. After all the teachers listened carefully to the experimental teachers' exchange of experimental experiences, they all felt the hard work of the experimental teachers from the bottom of their hearts and were deeply impressed by the experimental teachers' seriousness, responsibility and hard-working attitude.
The activities have set up a broad stage for teachers. Over the past few years, especially this year, many teachers have gradually formed their own teaching characteristics through repeated practice and reflection. For example, in Teacher Zhou Pingquan’s Chinese class, the humanistic spirit and value orientation have been greatly improved; Teacher Hu has achieved certain results in composition; Teacher Zhong’s class is always full of life and vitality; Teacher Jiang’s class pays great attention to the development of thinking, etc. .
Three: Give children freedom, independent cooperation and exploration, so that students can have special talents.
u Life education with "theme generation" as the main line.
The "Practice and Research of "Theme Generative" Life Education" established by the school as one of the key projects of Jiaxing City believes that teachers are a life, students are a life, the school is also a living body, and society , the earth is a living body. The relationship between life and life is equal, and the education of life is integrated. It is the unshirkable responsibility of educational institutions and educators to educate students to respect, love and cherish life. Zhejiang and Jiaxing areas attach great importance to life education. They have issued many documents to guide students to cherish life, prevent minor crimes, and have more in-depth rational thinking about the ultimate value of life education. The purpose of the "theme-generative" life education project is: through the "theme-generative" life education, students can return to the subject in a natural interactive atmosphere and understand the irreversibility, irreversibility, irreplaceability, and Inventiveness, thinking about the meaning of life, respecting oneself and respecting others, thereby loving life and improving life awareness; enabling students to cherish life in an active and humanistic environment, cherish the life of themselves, others, the country and society, and Being able to face setbacks and temper their lives enables students to generate sustainable motivation and work hard to realize the value of life and improve the quality of life; it enables students and teachers to further understand that the individual exists in the whole and that the individual affects the whole, thus establishing the ideal for the school This ideal of continuous learning and improvement for the sustainable development of living entities further promotes the school spirit and appearance.
The "theme-generated" life education at the primary school level focuses on penetration experience, participation and interaction, and preliminary perception, allowing students to form dynamically generated life cognitions during the theme activities. outlook and values. Each year period has different emphasis and emphasis. It is a life education activity that meets the psychological and physiological needs of primary school students, promotes their ability development, is active and life-oriented, and is frame-based and generative. Its themes include environmental education, filial piety education, safety education, legal education, national defense science and technology education, patriotism education and other life themes; its activities include Young Pioneers theme activities, comprehensive practice activities, subject integration and penetration activities, etc. It is characterized by an emphasis on experiential education, an emphasis on development concepts, and a "menu-style" activity form. It is an extremely multi-angle, multi-latitude, multi-level, and diversified education.
Among them, "theme generation" is more of a process of independently generating small themes under the big theme of "life education" provided by the school, and then naturally generating thoughts and behaviors in the process of their own unique experiences. For example, under the big theme of "Environmental Protection Theme", students can freely choose to generate dynamic and generative small themes, such as: "I make friends with Xiaoshu", "Little White Pigeon on Campus", etc., and in the experience of making friends with Xiaoshu The thoughts and behaviors of understanding the role of trees and consciously loving and protecting trees will naturally arise.
Revolving around the main line of "life education", the focus of each grade is also different: low grade - understanding life, understanding that teachers, classmates and oneself are all one life, and we must respect them; understand that small flowers and grasses also have Life, we must cherish them; the middle section - treat life well: combine filial piety education and safety education to make children understand that their lives are given by their parents, and they must treat them well; the high section - cherish life: combine psychological education, legal education and diligent education, so that Students enhance the value of life for themselves, the school, and society.
