第二篇:成都七中遠程直播教學學習心得
成都七中遠程直播教學學習心得
方愛技
2014年8月12日,在李校長的帶領下,我等一行25人奔赴成都七中學習遠程直播教學,雖然只學習了1天,但收獲頗大,反思良多。
一.收獲方面:
1.學校辦學理念:人本教育、開放包容、資源共享、教育均衡。
①.人本教育。成都七中非常注意人本教育,以“人的發展”為核心目標,讓學生充分表達訴求,老師全面關注學生訴求并正確引導,在張揚學生個性、提高學生各項能力和技能的同時,更注重培養學生正確的“三觀”觀念。
②.資源共享,大愛無疆。在教育競爭異常激烈之際,成都七中作為國內著名、國際知名的百年名校,憑借先進的辦學思想、和諧大氣的教育追求及卓越的教師團隊,已成功開辦全日制遠程直播教學十余年,網校共建70多所,24000多學生享用著成都七中優秀的教學資源,助無數學子實現了清華、北大夢想,更有效解決了先進地區與落后地區,城市與農村的教育資源不均衡問題,也體現了成都七中教師高風亮節、大愛無疆的精神。2.教學過程設計設計科學合理:強調分工、注重合作。
遠程直播教學上課模式為“異地同堂”,教學過程中師師之間、師生之間、學校之間分工明確、合作緊密。教學組織者嚴密分工,又相互合作。即授課教師(成都七中一線教師)、把關教師(成都七中教育專家)、技術教師(成都東方聞道計算機專業技術人員)、學科教師(遠端學校教師)“四位一體”各司其職、分工協作。授課教師與學生之間能開展四種教學交互活動,即轉移交互、替代交互、虛擬交互、實時交互,學科教師與學生必須做好學前銜接、課中協同、課后管理工作,加強師生之間交流合作探究。學校之間做到“四個同時”,即同時備課、同時授課、同時作業、同時考試。3.先進的教育教學工作
①.英語教學方面:全英語教學。從單詞、短語、句子、語法、文段,到聽、說、讀、寫、譯,全方位培養和提高學生英語基礎和綜合運用能力。從高一開始就全方位的接觸高考,解讀高考,應對高考。不僅要讓學生考高分,更要讓學生的語言能力適應面向世界的需要,真正做到高分高能。
②.歷史教學方面:分階段教學,讓學生感受學科的特色,從歷史中感悟生活。高一階段側重于培養學生對歷史學科的興趣,對學生進行“三觀”的正確引領,讓學生對歷史發展演變的規律有初步認識。教學流程分六步完成,即預習、板書、課堂提問、最后3分鐘(學科教師點撥總結)、作業、考試。但由于課時太少,內容太多,必修一上不完。學習資料及任務:學生英語學科資料較多,任務較重,但都在學生 二.反思:
1、學校要科學設計推動全校教育教學研究的制度和激勵機制,鼓勵老師們專心教育,用心教學,靜心教研,逐步形成促進教師專業成長的教研文化。
2、學科教師們要轉變觀念,正確定位。學科教師不是“旁觀者”、“聽課者”,是教學組織者、管理者,要提前到位進入教室組織教學活動,要“站到位”(站講臺前),要精心備課,對學生適時點撥、提醒,對問題適時板書,課后輔導落實到人,確保直播班學生突破距離差距,縮小本校學生與成都七中學生成績差距。同時還必須認識到要當優秀教師必須養成思考的習慣、研究問題的習慣、反思和解剖自己的課例的習慣、寫文章的習慣,要不斷提高自己的研究水平,不斷提升自己的專業能力。
3、組織全體教師參與成都七中年級集體備課,更新教師觀念,提升教師業務能力是學校教育教學質量提高的有效途徑。
4.學生學習習慣的糾正和培養。好習慣是開啟成功大門的鑰匙。本校的學生學習習慣較差,急需所有教師齊抓共管學生的行為習慣問題,幫助學生糾正不良習慣,養成良好的生活和學習習慣。
5.學生生源:我校和成都七中之間差距最大的之一是學生生源方面,我校的生源幾乎完全集中在縣內而且成績都較差,而成都七中卻集中了全省的最優秀生源。如果我校不在生源方面積極尋求突破的話,結果將不容樂觀。
總之,我校的發展勢頭是很好的,但也隱含了許多不利因素,我們要堅持積極的“走出去,請進來,新陳代謝,持續發展”的發展思路,在教學中相信成都七中,但不能迷信成都七中,可以借助成都七中的資源,但更應依靠本校師生的奮斗。我堅信,在所有十一中人的共同努力下,我校一定會成為百年名校的!
第三篇:七中直播情
七中直播情
各位評委、各位來賓:
你們好。我是來自勐海一中的物理教師何玫芳。今天,我要與大家分享的是我校勐海一中網絡直播教學的苦于樂。
時間飛逝,歲月如梭,轉眼間,成都七中東方聞道網校·勐海一中同步網絡直播班的直播教學已經走過了3個年頭。回顧這不平凡的3年,我們感概萬千。
幾年前,隨著西雙版納州重點扶持州級中學政策出臺,我們勐海縣的優質生源紛紛外流,使勐海一中的生源每況愈下,教育陷于低谷。在這樣的情況下,勐海一中領導通過考察、學習和借鑒,找到了一條辦好勐海一中教育的新舉措,那就是向成都七中學習,舉辦“成都七中同步網絡直播班”,辦出特色,留住優生,培養教師隊伍,提高教學質量。
首先,請允許我介紹我校的“成都七中同步網絡直播班”。成都七中遠程直播教學采用現代通訊技術,將成都七中本部的課堂教學完整地在我校網絡教室內共享。教師的圖像、聲音、文字,圖片,多媒體動畫,視頻材料等在同一時間呈現在成都七中與勐海一中,使我校的直播班學生實時參與成都七中的教學活動,并與七中教師進行實時雙向交流。
成都七中網絡直播班的教學模式非常獨特,我們稱之為“四位一體”和“四同時”的教學模式。“四位一體”是指我校的學科教師和成都七中的授課教師、把關教師、技術教師共同協作完成直播教學;“四同時”是指我校與七中教師同時備課、同時授課,兩校學生同時作業和同時考試。
承蒙校領導的信任與厚愛,3年前剛剛大學畢業走上工作崗位的我有幸擔任了勐海一中首屆網絡直播班的物理教師。當時我得知這一結果,內心激動萬分。我激動是因為我深知,成都七中東方聞道網校有著一流的授課教師,專家級別的把關教師等優質的教學資源。我激動是因為我是幸運的,剛剛走上工作崗位的我能向名校的教師學習,這必定會有利于我的迅速成長。我激動是因為我有斗志,直播教學再苦再累,我也會珍惜這個平臺,奉獻青春,揮灑汗水。
作為直播教學的遠端教師,我們的主要任務是實施班級、個人管理,組織教學和輔導等一系列工作,工作的重點概括起來就是三個字“備,助,輔”。
課前備好課是上好課的關鍵。我校非常重視教師的備課工作,尤其重視直播教師的備課環節。直播教師備課有三個環節:自主備課、集中備課和課前備課。直播班的直播科目每周進行一次聯網集中備課會,前端授課教師與遠端學科教師共商一周教學安排,探討教法和學法。在每節直播課前,我們務必提前從網校網站下載提前課件,進行課前再次備課。我校還鼓勵非直播教師參與直播集中備課,共享七中的教學資源。學校對直播教學的常規管理也非常細致,如制定了備課簽到制度,教案檢查制度,聽課制度,學生輔導制度等等。
直播教學使教師的角色發生了很大變化。以前是各科教師主講,而現在是配合教學,以輔導為主。
在直播課堂上,我們會在關鍵的地方對學生進行恰當的點撥,并針對自己學生的情況,記錄下重點、難點以及學生不能及時消化的知識點,以便在直播課后更有針對性地進行輔導。我校的非直播科目教師也常常到直播班觀摩直播課,課后向我們提出教學建議。
七中的教學特點是“高起點,高標準,快節奏,大容量。” 與七中相比,我們的學生基礎相對較差,就必然會導致學生在直播課堂上不能完全消化。曾經,我們教師和學生都非常著急。經過一段時間的實踐,我們積累了一些方法。如加強對學生預習的指導,把學生的預習工作放在首位。在起點低的情況下,我們更需保證學習時間,加強課后輔導。我的家鄉在廣西,大學畢業之后來到西雙版納,我深深地喜歡上了這片美麗的土地。我喜歡這里美麗的景色,淳樸的人民,獨特的民族風情。西雙版納的潑水節也一直是我所向往的。然而,開展直播教學以后,為保證與七中教學同步,直播班的師生不再享受潑水節假期。直到今天,我依然沒能親身感受過賽龍舟、放高升地民俗節目。這也成了我心中無比遺憾的事。我們直播教師三年來自愿放棄周六休息時間,為學生做無償的輔導。在平時的教學中,直播教師還主動延長晚自習時間,為有需要的同學進行個別輔導。我們的直播教師不辭辛苦,不計報酬,三年來默默無聞地充當著直播教學中的“配角”。
經過3年的直播教學,我們慢慢摸索出一套促進教學、提高成績的可行方案,如形成了“分層輔導”方案,“培優輔差”方案,“尖子生成績追蹤”方案,“教師承包尖子生”等方案。為了加強對直播教學的管理、監督和檢查,學校逐漸出臺了很多措施。如校領導隨堂聽課,檢查直播教師的備課情況、上課情況,測評課堂中學生的參與度。抽查作業布置情況、批改情況。建立調查制度,對直播教師的教學能力、學生的接受情況等進行調查。在師生中征求對直播教學的意見,不斷改進工作。為了更快、更好地開展直播教學,我校安排領導前往直播教學取得巨大成功的學校學習、取經,安排部分師生前往成都七中本部學習、交流。正是有了這些制度的保障,有了校領導班子的大力支持,直播教學才得以健康、平穩地發展。
舉辦直播教學以來,我們在摸索中前進,也曾遇到過困難,受到過質疑。慶幸的是,我校始終堅定不移的堅持走直播路線,直播教師也承受住了巨大的壓力。3年之后的收獲季節,在生源嚴峻的情況下,我們取得了可喜的成績。高考成績公布的那一天,全校師生將高考喜訊奔走相告。
直播教學的成功現在只是邁出了一小步。我們堅信,我們將很快走過青澀,邁向成熟。我們堅信,勐海一中與成都七中合作的網絡直播教學必將打造出嶄新的教育品牌。我們堅信,在全校師生的共同努力下,勐海一中一定會迎來教育的新輝煌!
第四篇:成都七中之行
成都七中之行
宜賓市翠屏區方水中心學校——涂萬潔 學校選部分教師到成都七中參觀學習,其中有我,我感到很榮幸也很興奮。一是難得有機會出去學習,看看外面的世界;其二是想看看有名學校有什么不一樣的,他們的教師和學生和我們究竟有什么差別?
帶著種種疑問和滿懷期望我們于12月30日早上8點踏進了成都七中的校門。首先進入眼前的是用行楷刻在石頭上的“卓爾不群,大器天下”八個大字。“大器天下”用得真是氣勢磅礴,抬眼一看整個校園緊湊而又錯落有致,倒也大氣。在去教導處的一路上,看見有學生在掃地和拖地,給人感覺很認真,不像是在完成任務,也不斷有學生向我們問好,很誠心的那種。整個校園肅靜但又不乏有學習的聲音。教室和辦公室不顯豪華沒有什么非常特別之處,只是所有教室的前后門上面中間有一個直徑約為30厘米的玻璃洞,我覺得設計還比較科學,我估計既可以增加教室的明亮度,又便于從外面觀察里面的情況,當然主要是班主任。另外,教室的前面都有“班級新視角”,是一塊小白板,上面記錄著遲到的,受表揚的和批評的等等人和事。這一點有意義,完全可以借鑒。我是教數學的,上午聽了兩節九年級和一節七年級的數學課。他們上課都在多媒體教室,每節課教師都是用筆記本電腦備的教案,學生都有一份學案。下來我和一起來的同數學組的同事都認為:那就是一堂除了硬件設施好一點的普通數學課,沒有其他特別的和沒有花架子。學生大部分基礎可以,也有差的,調皮的;教師有年輕的也有年老的;教學課堂有分組學習的,也有師生互動一起學習的。
第三節課間操,全部學生和班主任都在操場里,主席臺上有專人主持站隊列,班主任做輔導和糾正,然后在做操。除了全部是穿校服以外,讓人感到很整齊很規范。11點過我們繼續帶著疑惑在會議室聽了教導處丁主任對學校的介紹,以及我們宜賓師培中心劉部長和我校侯校長帶領大家與丁主任的交流。成都七中目前大致可以從這樣幾個方面概括:第一,學校占地僅僅20畝,但生源多,達3000多名學生。以各種競賽(如省級、國家級數學、物理競賽)、科創作品、論文發表、升學率升重率(達91℅)而領先同類學校和出名。第二,自97年改制后,學校取得一系列成就的原因主要是:班子成員的齊心協力,要求與時俱進不能慢;評價教師既要看分數,還要看教育教學是否適合學生的身心健康和學生發展的理念;過程中學生、學校、家長既要共同分擔又要共同分享。第三,教學方面主要是大的課程觀,統一備課資源共享。要求30+10要大于40,就是一節課30分鐘教師講10分鐘留給學生,但效果要多于40分鐘的內容。語文實行梯度教學,數學實行學、究、講、用等,課堂有三講三不講,作業有三布置三不布置。讓我感到最有意義的是,每周七八年級有一節選修課,那就是教師根據自己的特長開設自然、人文、藝體、生活等方面的專題講座,比如最火爆的是“二戰金典”、“雯雯談金庸”。另外考核教師主要是以三年的教學成績和學生、家長的量化評價。學校是制度管理,更在于自覺管理。
末了,我們一至要求丁主任和我們共進午餐,丁主任婉言謝絕了,她要準備下午的課,還要排練明天的元旦活動,說明天的元旦活動師生一起上臺表演,很有趣。整個學校就儼然是一個整體,沒有什么非常特別之處,沒有等級,也沒有界限,是大家共同學習共同進步而造就了今天赫赫有名成都七中。這次的參觀和學習雖然只看到冰山的一角,但還是感到形成冰山絕非一日之功,一人之力。對于我而言,班級管理和數學教學方面都有觸動和借鑒的,還有開闊了視野,讓我真正體會到站在不同角度看待問題,和站在另一個高度看待問題。

米歇爾在成都七中的演講稿
Chengdu, China
10:50 A.M.CST
MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Nihao.It is truly a pleasure to be here at theNumber Seven School.Thank you so muchfor your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf ofmyselfand my husband, I want to say that our hearts go out to all those withlovedones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As I said this past weekend when Ispoke at Peking University, we arevery much keeping allof them in our thoughts and our prayers at thistremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thankingyourPrincipal, Principal Liu, and your classmate, Ju Chao, for thatwonderfulintroduction.Your English, Ju Chao, isexcellent, and you shouldbe very proud.Thank you so much.(Applause.)And I want tothankall of the students here today, both those of you here in person and thoseofyou joining remotely from across the region.I’m thrilled to be visiting yourwonderful school.Now, in preparation for this visit, beforeIleft the U.S.I visited the Yu Ying School.It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., andallof the students at this school study Chinese.And I met with thesixth-grade class, kids who are 11 and 12 yearsold.They had recentlytaken a trip hereto China,and they were bursting with excitement.They were eager to tell me abouteverythingabout what they had seen.But they admitted that before their trip,theyhad all kinds of misconceptions about China.They thought theywould see palaces andtemples everywhere they went, but instead they found massivecities filled withskyscrapers.They weren’t sure thatthey’d like the food here inChina, but they actually loved it, and theylearned how to use chopsticks.And inthe end, one of the students told me –-and thisis his quote--he said,“Coming home was reallyexciting, but was at the same time sad.”
Now, meeting these students reminded methatwhen we live so far away from each other, it’s easy to develop all kindsof misconceptions and stereotypes.It’seasy to focus on our differences –-how we speak different languages and eatdifferent foods andobserve different traditions.But as I travel the world, and I meetyoungpeople from so many countries, I’m always struckby how much more we have incommon.And that’sbeen particularlytrue during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up likemanyof you.My mom, my dad, my brotherand I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largestcities in America.My father worked atthe local water plant.And we didn’thave much money, but our little homewas bursting with love.Every evening, my family would laugh andsharestories over dinner.We’d playcard games and havefun for hours.Andon summer nights, I remember, when our apartment gottoo hot, we’d all sleepoutside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, includingourextended family.My grandparentslived nearby, and my elderly great auntand uncle lived in the apartmentdownstairs from us.And when theirhealthstarted to decline my parents stepped in, helping my uncle shave anddress eachmorning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night to check onmy aunt.So in my family, like in so many ofyourfamilies, we took care of each other.And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams formeand my brother.They had only a highschool education themselves, butthey were determined to send us both touniversities.So they poured all of their love and alloftheir hope into us, and they worked hard.They saved every penny.And Iknow that wasn’t easyfor them, especially for my father.You see, my father had a seriousillnesscalled multiple sclerosis.And as he gotsicker, it got harder forhim to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed inthe morning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matterhowmuch pain he was in, my father hardly ever missed a day of work, because hewasdetermined to give me and my brother a better life.And every day, likeso many of you, I felt theweight of my parents’ sacrifices on my shoulders.Every day, I wanted to make themproud.So while most American kids attendpublicschools near their homes, when it was time for me to attend high school,I tookan exam and got into a special public high school where I could get abetter education.But the school was very far from my home, soI had toget up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes anhour and ahalf if the weather was bad.And every afternoon, I’d ride that same bus back home andthenimmediately start my homework, often studying late into the night--andsometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study even more.And it wasn’t easy.But whenever I got tired or discouraged, Iwould justthink about how hard my parents were working for me.And I would remembersomething my motheralways told me –-she said: “A goodeducation is something that no one can take away from you.”
And when it was time for me to applytouniversity, I had many options, because in America, there are many kindsofuniversities.There are four-yearuniversities.There aretwo-yearcommunity colleges which are less expensive.There areuniversities where you take classes at night while workingduring the day.So you don’t have to beatop student to attend a university.And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tinytown in a rural area, inAmerica, you can still attend university.And you can get scholarshipsand governmentloans to help pay your tuition.So I attended Princeton University formyundergraduate degree, and I went on to Harvard University for mygraduatedegree in law.And with those degrees Iwas able to become alawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as anexecutive at a cityhospital, and then I was the director of an organizationthat helped disadvantagedyoung people.And my story isn’t unusual in America.Some of our most famousathletes, like LeBronJames, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, camefrom strugglingfamilies like mine, as do many business leaders--like HowardSchultz.He’s the head of a company calledStarbucks,which many of you may have heard of.When Mr.Schultz was a boyhis father lost his job, leaving their familydestitute.But Mr.Schultzworkedhard.He got a scholarship to auniversity, and eventually built thelargest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know whowas raised by a single mother whosometimes struggled to afford food for theirfamily.But like me, this guygotscholarships and loans to attend universities.He became a lawyer and aprofessor, and then he was a state senator andthen a national senator.And then, hebecame President of the United States.This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama.(Applause.)
These stories are the stories of somanyAmericans, and of America itself.Because in America, we believe thatno matter where you live or how muchmoney your parents have, or what race orreligion or ethnicity you are, if youwork hard and believe in yourself, thenyou should have a chance tosucceed.We also believe that everyoneisequal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship aswechoose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agreewith whatwe believe.Now of course, living up to these idealsisn’t always easy.And there havebeentimes in our history where we have fallen short.Many decades ago,there were actually laws inAmerica that allowed discrimination against blackpeople like me, who are aminority in the United States.But overtime,ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair.So they heldpeaceful protests andmarches.They called on governmentofficials tochange those laws, and they voted to elect new officials whoshared their views.And slowly but surely, Americachanged.We got rid of those unjustlaws.And today, just 50 years later, myhusbandand I are President and First Lady of the United States.And that isreally the story of America –-how over the course of our short history, through so many trialsand struggles,we have become more equal, more inclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of everyrace,religion and ethnicity live together and work together to build a betterlifefor their children and grandchildren.And in the end, that deepyearning to leave something better for thosewho come after us, that issomething we all truly share.In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I lovethatsays, “To achieve true happiness, help the nextgeneration.”
And like so many of your parents, myparentssacrificed so much so that I could have opportunities they neverdreamedof.And today, as a mothermyself, I want even more opportunities for myown daughters.But of course, as I always tell my daughters,withopportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you aswell.You all have the opportunity toreceive an education from this wonderful school,and you all have an obligationto take the fullest advantage of thisopportunity.And I know that’s exactly what you all aredoing.You’re winning prizes in math andscience.Here, you are stagingmusicalperformances around the world.You’revolunteeringin your communities.Andmany of you are working hard to get an educationyour parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –-andthat’s agood thing, because the world needs your talent.The world needs yourcreativity and energymore than ever before.Because we facebig challengesthat know no borders –-like improving the quality ofour airand water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spreadofdisease.And soon, it will all fall toall of you to come together withpeople on every continent and solve theseproblems together.Now, fortunately, here at thiswonderfulschool, you’realready well on your way.For more than a decade, you’ve been building special relationships with aAmerican school in--an American high school, and many of you will attenduniversities in America orfind other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and Iaredoing here today, you will be creating bonds of friendship across the globethatwill last for decades to come.Andover the past week, as I have seen boththe ancient wonders and the modernachievements of your fascinating country, andas I’ve met withextraordinary youngpeople like all of you, I am more confident than ever beforein our sharedfuture.And I cannot wait to seeeverything that you willachieve here in China and around the world.Thank you again for hosting me and myfamily atthis extraordinary school, and I wish you all the best of luck inyour journeyahead.Xie-Xie.(Applause.)
