1. Experts call for the cancellation of this course: it is meaningless and violates the rights and interests of students, and the teacher: I have long been tired of it!
Wang Xuming, an education expert, recently expressed his views on the cancellation of open classes, arguing that open classes not only lack practical significance, but also constitute an infringement on students' rights and interests. His views have sparked widespread discussion and controversy. As a form of teaching, open classes have certain benefits and purposes in themselves. However, as time went on, the open class gradually turned into a performance, and both teachers and students were bored and exhausted. Now, let's look at the current state of open classes from the perspective of teachers and students.
For teachers, the open class is a performance that needs to be carefully prepared in advance. In the audience, there are leaders and other teachers to evaluate and guide, which adds a lot of pressure to the teachers. Teachers have to mentally figure out every detail, from expressions to sentences, which is an extra burden for teachers who are already busy with their work. In addition, in order for the open class to run smoothly, the teachers also need to rehearse the course repeatedly, which delays the progress of their other courses. The open curriculum, which was supposed to improve the quality of teaching and correct mistakes, has now evolved into a deceptive performance. For some sensitive students, this feint may create psychological problems, which is contrary to the original purpose of education.
For students, it takes a lot of time to rehearse with the instructor before the open class. They have to Xi the lessons they are already familiar with and perform in cooperation with the teacher. Sometimes, the teacher will arrange questions with obvious known answers, and the students just have to pretend to be serious about answering. These performances waste valuable time and energy from students and delay the Xi progress of other courses. The students understood that this scene was just to curry favor with the leader, and everyone knew it, but they did not dare to say it. For those sensitive students, this hypocrisy can have negative psychological effects. The whole process goes against the original purpose of education and becomes a drama in the guise of education.
Despite the problems with open classes, there is nothing inherently wrong with the format of open classes, and it makes sense as a place to demonstrate the strength of teachers. However, the number of open classes should be kept within a reasonable range, and suitable teachers should be selected to demonstrate their teaching methods and experience. For experienced teachers and class teachers, they are already very busy and should be relieved from open classes. Also, don't use the quality and frequency of open classes as a rating criterion, lest teachers see open classes as a scary assessment. Only in this way can the open class return to its essence and restore its original value.
As a form of teaching, open classes should be used as a platform for communication and Xi among teachers on the premise of ensuring the quality of teaching. However, the current format of open classes has lost its value and has become an infringement on the rights and interests of teachers and students. Therefore, we need to reform and reposition the Open Class to return it to its original purpose and meaning. Only in this way can we make greater contributions to the development of education.
