Recently, a report titled "The Endless "Card"" has sparked heated discussions on the Internet, which exposes the current common phenomenon of punch-in education, tells the real experience of three characters with different identities, and arouses social attention and discussion on the pros and cons of punch-in education.
Punch-in education refers to requiring students or parents to complete some Xi or education-related tasks within a specified time through various platforms or software, and submit certificates to teachers or schools by taking photos, recordings, screenshots, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of supervising Xi, improving the effect, and cultivating Xi habits. The content of punch-in education includes coursework, after-school Xi, safety education, legal education, mental health, etc.
The starting point of punch card education is good, but in practice, there are many problems. On the one hand, clock-in education increases the burden on students, parents, and teachers, making them feel tired and stressed. On the other hand, punch-in education is easy to become a formality and lose its essence, which makes the learning Xi become a kind of coping and going through the motions, which affects the effect and quality of the learning Xi.
In the report, a kindergarten teacher, Mr. Wang, quit his job because of the tediousness and meaninglessness of punching in education, and changed his career to do the activity planning of education and training institutions. She said: "This year, I seem to be working for ***, working for the subject of leadership. Every winter and summer vacation, festival and school activities, I have to take pictures of the activities, and let parents take photos and check in on certain themes in the WeChat group. These activities are not designed to allow children to experience the beauty of these things, but to use children as tools. ”
Ms. Zhang, another first-grade class teacher, also said that the check-in education prevented him from focusing on teaching, and also affected his salary and evaluation. He said: "Every month I have an attendance salary of 1,800 yuan, which is divided into 10 points, of which the moral education department accounts for 3 points, and the punch card of the 'school safety education platform' accounts for about 1 3 of the score of the moral education department, which is almost 1 point, which affects my salary of 180 yuan." There are about 7 fixed class hours per semester on the platform, and sometimes there are other assignments on the platform, which I need to assign on time and urge parents to complete it.
Some parents don't care about anything after paying the tuition fees for their children. If I call ** to urge the parents, they will say 'good and good' very perfunctorily, and they will not do it. I can only tell the leader, if the leader says to continue urging, then I can only continue to urge, and the superior will generally ask us to save the screenshot of the urging parent. Some parents would give me low marks in the monthly teacher satisfaction survey because teachers have been assigning tasks that are not related to school or Xi. There are also parents who will chat with me privately on WeChat: 'These things, in fact, it doesn't matter if you learn them or not......It's good to get your Xi right?’”
There is also a stay-at-home mother, Chen's mother, who has to clock in on her two children's homework every day, spending a lot of time and energy, and is completely locked at home. She said: "Helping children clock in and out of their homework every day is actually quite tiring, completely locked at home, in addition to voice punching in, but also to take photos and upload checked homework, a complete set is estimated to take 40 minutes." If I'm not at home, neither will the elderly. Voice punching is only needed for mathematics, which is to read a math textbook. Actually, I never understood what to read in math. Children read the content they learn every day from beginning to end, usually for 1 minute or tens of seconds. If you want to click on the mobile phone page on the spot, let the child record, and remote control is not possible. The child should be Xi used to it, and it has never been too troublesome. ”
Different people have different opinions on the pros and cons of punch-in education. Some people believe that punch-in education can cultivate students' independent Xi learning ability and Xi habits, improve the efficiency and quality of learning Xi, enhance students' sense of responsibility and achievement, and also facilitate the communication and supervision of parents and teachers. Some people believe that punch-in education is a kind of formalistic education, which ignores students' personality and interests, increases the burden and pressure of students, deprives students of freedom and creativity, and also causes conflicts and dissatisfaction between parents and teachers.
In this regard, education experts call for punch-in education to be treated rationally, not one-size-fits-all, and not to go to extremes. Punch-in education should be based on students' age, ability, interests and other factors, and reasonably design the content, method, frequency and duration of punch-in, so as to avoid excessive, difficult, frequent, and long check-in tasks, so that check-in education can truly play its due role, rather than becoming a burden and burden. At the same time, punch-in education should also focus on students' initiative and participation, so that students have opportunities for choice and feedback, so that students can feel the fun and meaning of punch-in, rather than passively coping and going through the motions. In addition, punch-in education should also respect the opinions and feelings of parents and teachers, do not force or force them to complete punch-in tasks, do not link punch-in education to salary or evaluation, but establish a good relationship of cooperation and mutual assistance, and jointly promote the growth and development of students.
