The first encounter with comprehensive practical activities was in October 2004. The second Basic Education (Primary School) Curriculum Reform and Opening Week organized by Longyan Municipal Education Bureau was held in Xinluo District. The organizer was us. In Longyan Experimental Primary School, the school gave all the activities of the open week to the third-year section. I had just returned from maternity leave and the child had not yet been weaned. The section leader took the timetable and called everyone to sign up for classes. There were 7 classes in one year, Chinese, Teachers for mathematics, English, music, art, science, physical education, calligraphy, social media and other subjects were quickly decided, but the teacher for comprehensive practical activities could not be decided. Although this subject is very conspicuously listed on the curriculum, no one has ever been exposed to it, and no one has actually taken this class. It has always been in name only. Now as an activity of the Curriculum Reform and Opening Week, all subjects set in the curriculum must be When setting up, especially the new course of comprehensive practical activities, the leaders specifically stated that it must be opened well and serve as a model for teachers attending the class. I am a teacher of the Chinese language group. During the meeting, the Chinese language group proposed that I would not have to take on the task of public classes since I was still breastfeeding. However, after several coordination meetings, the candidate for the comprehensive practical activity class was still not finalized. On the morning of the fourth day, Teacher Duan Changma came to talk to me. She said to me: "Xia Hui, it seems that you are the only one taking this class." Before I could speak, she continued: "I also know that you are special now." There are difficulties during the period, but you see, except for the teachers who have decided to start classes in our year, the rest are all veteran teachers. No one has ever taken this class. You are the youngest in our year and a party member. You Let's see if we can overcome it. If there are any difficulties, our teachers will help..." I had no choice but to agree. In this way, I started the exploration of my first comprehensive practical activity class. Under the guidance of the teaching and research staff in charge of the Comprehensive Practical Activities Section of the district teaching and research section, I determined the topic of "Into the Olympic Champion - Shi Zhiyong". At the time when our city's weightlifter Shi Zhiyong won the men's 56kg championship at the Athens Olympics racecourse, seizing such resources, I led my children in Class 3 (4) to start a research study about Olympic champions.

To be honest, this period of time is really painful. On one hand, I have no idea how to design the activity plan, and I don’t know where to start when I have a plan. On the other hand, the children at home are crying for food. Finally, I have to make a decision to feed the children in advance. Wean yourself off so that you can concentrate on your work. With a group of children, I contacted Shi Zhiyong’s family and went to his home to interview the champion’s parents, to learn about the champion’s childhood and growth stories, and guided the children in interviewing, filming, and writing diaries; I also contacted Shi Zhiyong for a phone interview; and guided students to collect information online. I am busy arranging and sorting information every day. But while watching the hustle and bustle like this, I suddenly found that these children who had just entered the third grade seemed to have become more sensible and more methodical in doing things. When the class started, we showed the results of the activity to the teachers. Class 3 (4) left a deep impression on everyone. Although the teacher attending the class still doesn’t understand what comprehensive practical activities are, everyone seems to know from this class that the results of research-based learning are so rich and colorful, and that third-grade children have such huge abilities.

The instructor of the teaching and research section, the section leader, and the teachers who attended the class all spoke highly of this class. Oh, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and successfully completed the task!

2. Adhering step by step

In the following days, the comprehensive practical activity class was still in vain, but it has been in my heart since then. I read various educational magazines and publications, and after reading the Chinese content, I would also look for articles related to comprehensive practical activities to read. Gradually, I had more contact with comprehensive practical activities.

At the 2005 Teacher's Day dinner, Vice Principal Chen, who was in charge of teaching, hurriedly gave me a task. I just received a notice that the Municipal Education Bureau organized the first comprehensive practical activity for classroom teaching evaluation, and the District Continuing School The teaching and research office has designated our school to send people to participate. The competition will start after the National Day. During this time, you should prepare to participate. ah! Why is it me again! I muttered in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything. Originally, the leader chose you by name to participate in the competition. You still dare to shirk it. I'm not brave enough.

After the news was announced, my colleagues joked that you are the only one who knows how to participate in the comprehensive practical activities, so of course I can only send you! Once you get it, make peace with it. Fortunately, the instructor is still the diligent researcher Chen Xiaohong. From selecting the topic to finalizing the topic, we discussed at least no less than 20 topics before finally settling on "Talking about School Uniforms". During the trial process After constantly revising the teaching plan, we finally decided to present the second phase of the theme event in the form of a live classroom debate, and finally won the first prize in the city's evaluation. Then I was recommended to the province to participate in the competition. The time was in mid-October. That year, the provincial competition was held in Shishi No. 3 Primary School. There were 31 classes in the province participating. I was lucky enough to win the first prize, and then I came to After arriving in Wuhan, I entered the national competition for classroom teaching evaluation of comprehensive practical activities. At that time, I was under a lot of pressure, and I felt that my teacher who originally taught Chinese language was so attached to the comprehensive practical activities step by step. No one in the school could explain how to teach this class, so every time I prepared a lesson, I had to rely on my own speculation and reflection. , there are too few people who can help, and I feel so lonely. But think about it, along the way, my instructor Professor Zou Kaihuang, Teacher Zhang Biao from the municipal general classroom, Teacher Xiaohong from the district further education school, as well as the school leaders and colleagues have all placed high hopes on me. As the saying goes, "I have what others don't have, I have excellence when others have it, and I am special when others have excellence." Everyone is looking forward to my achievements! Grit your teeth and hold on! During that time, when I think back, I always want to call it the "triple jump." In one month, I attended three on-site classroom teaching evaluations and listened to so many comprehensive practical activity classes from my peers. The effects of special training are more obvious. Apart from going out for competitions, I still have to do a good job as a class teacher at other times, still have to teach my own Chinese classes, and correct every homework of the children. No one can replace you for these things. Therefore, I had to wait until I got home at night to do my daily revisions and lesson preparations. My children were still young, and it was often late at night when I finished the chores at home. In this way, during that period, I was busy revising lesson plans or preparing lessons almost late at night every day. Courseware. The feeling of pain and pleasure is extremely strong! The wonderful performance in the class of Wuhan Yucai No. 2 Primary School made me return with great honors. At that moment, I felt that I was more familiar with the comprehensive practical activities!

3. Learned wholeheartedly

Fate is sometimes unclear. In the Spring Festival of 2008, Longyan City launched a four-year off-the-job training activity for key primary school teachers. Half a month, a whole semester, every subject is offered. At that time, I thought that this time I would not be sent. But the school leaders seemed to have recognized that I had a special relationship with comprehensive practical activities, and gave me this opportunity. With an admission notice, I came to the School of Continuing Education of Longyan University to report, and started my comprehensive internship in the true sense. Practical activity learning and research.

As the saying goes, "There are no real obstacles in the world. There are just different mentalities and different paths. Sometimes people should move forward like water. If there is a mountain in front of you, go around it. If there is a mountain in front of you, go around it. If there is a mountain in front of you, go around it." If it's a plain, go over it. If there's a net in front of you, go through it. If there's a gate in front of you, stop and wait for the opportunity." Before the training, I had a very shallow understanding of the nature of comprehensive practical activities: What kind of course is comprehensive practical activities? What to teach? How to teach? What impact will it have on students' performance in other subjects? How much benefit will it bring to students' development? ...

Even after participating in so many competitions, I have achieved some results, but now that I reflect carefully, I find that those previous classes had some shortcomings and certain limitations. , most of them are limited to research studies, and other fields are rarely involved. If I had not come to participate in the comprehensive practical activity training this semester, listen to the explanations of comprehensive practical activities by Teacher Zhang and Professor Zou Kaihuang, and systematically learn the theoretical knowledge of comprehensive practical activities, I would definitely still be "blind and feeling the elephant" about comprehensive practical activities as before. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of this training to study it wholeheartedly.

During the training, Teacher Zhang Biao and Professor Zou Kaihuang added a "technological feast" to this comprehensive practical activity training class -

"WEB network collaborative learning platform", in On this platform, we systematically studied professional knowledge such as "Overview of Comprehensive Practical Activities", "Development of Curriculum Resources for Comprehensive Practical Activities", "Design and Case Writing of Comprehensive Practical Activities", completed relevant assignments on the Internet as required, and were also able to We can freely express our opinions on the platform to communicate and interact with our peers. Each of us is delighted to feel the various benefits that online training has brought to us. At the end of the training, I compiled the content and research results I learned on the platform into this "Training Assignment Collection", and also presided over the compilation of all the students' papers and cases. This training made my research on comprehensive practical activities more in-depth, and also allowed me to explore more potential in myself. I never knew that I could do so well!

"Introducing Shi Zhiyong", "Talking about School Uniforms", "Being the Little Master of the School", "Into Comprehensive Practical Activities", "Learning to Interview", "I Can Do It in the Examination", "Business Card Design and Production", "Observing Traffic Rules" "I Can Do It", "Approaching Xin Qiji", "Little Bubbles and Big Discoveries"...we design and implement each activity plan, from the most common achievement display class type to normalized classroom teaching research, from Chinese, mathematics, science, art When it comes to mental health, I have tried hard to integrate the disciplines with the concept and form of comprehensive practical activities in each subject. I have made bold attempts again and again, accumulated bit by bit practical experience, and have a layer after layer of comprehensive practical activities in my mind. A layer of understanding and love!

4. Falling in love without knowing it

"The deep the knowledge, the deep love." It is precisely the step-by-step understanding of the comprehensive practical activity course that I fell in love without knowing it. Got it. Since engaging in the comprehensive practical activity course, I have found that not only my students have learned a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in books in the process of observing, interviewing, collecting and organizing information, but also realized the importance of unity and cooperation, innovative spirit and practical ability. All have been well nurtured.

Not only has the overall quality of the students been greatly developed, but I have also undergone amazing changes. In the past, I was really "blind to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages." And I couldn't help but narrow the scope of "books of sages" smaller and smaller, and finally settled on Chinese books and a few teaching reference books for my grade. It's in the book. When I took the Chinese language course, I was very good at it, but as soon as I started to carry out comprehensive practical activities, I felt more and more unable to do what I wanted. For example, in the comprehensive practical activity of "Designing Stamps for the 2008 Olympic Games", the instructor must understand the history of stamps, the types of stamps, the previous Olympic Games and the various stamps issued and their meanings. However, before the activity, I only knew Stamps are used to send letters. Many people regard stamps as collectibles and know nothing else about them. In order to carry out the event smoothly, I collected information on the stamps of previous Olympic Games from books, newspapers, magazines, websites, etc., and understood the general requirements for designing stamps. This broadened my horizons and realized that although stamps are only square-inch in size, they contain so much Rich in scientific and cultural knowledge, it has been called a "miniature museum", "a business card of the country", and a "little art palace"; in the process of getting in touch with stamp collectors and art teachers, and getting support, I learned how to interact with people, Methods and techniques for asking people to do things... During the course preparation process of "Love and Helping the Disabled", I went to special schools to observe the lives of different types of disabled people, learned sign language from teachers in special schools, and walked on the blind road with my eyes closed... Understand and After experiencing the hardships of disabled people, I know better how to respect the disabled people around me and take the initiative to help disabled people in difficulties...

During the comprehensive practical activities, I worked with students *** to develop course resources. Being one with the students has shortened the distance between teachers and students, and students' interest in learning has become stronger and stronger. In the comprehensive practical activities, I also pay special attention to the role of independent construction and dynamic generation during the activities, and handle the relationship between the presupposition and generation of the curriculum. As practical activities continue to unfold, students' understanding and experience are constantly enriched and deepened, new activity goals and themes are constantly generated, and the curriculum form of comprehensive practical activities is constantly improved.

In order to better handle the preset and generation of the classroom, I constantly "recharge" myself in my spare time... During the summary and reporting stage of each activity, the students happily displayed their research results and happily talked about their achievements. When I learn more knowledge, my joy of gaining so much is always beyond words.

In short, since engaging in comprehensive practical activities, I have not only changed a lot in my ideological concepts, from focusing only on book knowledge to combining it with practical abilities, but also my abilities in all aspects, especially my ability to interact with people, have greatly improved. Improve, your emotions, attitudes, and values ??will become increasingly perfect, and you will be immersed in happiness all day long.
