A few days after the winter vacation began, Xiao Cen, who was in the seventh grade, quarreled with his mother because of his winter vacation homework.
On the day of the closing ceremony, as soon as Xiao Cen got home, he excitedly showed her mother Ms. Chen the "Winter Vacation Homework Free Coupon" for two courses: "Mom, I won the reward by my strength!" A total of three assignments in two courses can be exempted! ”
After Ms. Chen gave a meal of "praise and praise" and "rainbow fart", she asked Xiao Cen: "Although there is a free coupon, you won't really not do it, right?" ”
Our teachers are talkative, and we really don't have to do it! Xiao Cen looked proud.
Ms. Chen couldn't help it: "Say so, but if you don't do it, others will do it, and you will fall behind." Your top student, you must be exempt from doing it and still do it. ”
Xiao Cen nodded: "Indeed! There is a top student in the class, and every subject is exempted, but a few days ago, he did most of the homework that was exempted, and the teacher said that this would give additional rewards. But in this regard, Xiao Cen did not want to "imitate", and he also threw out an example, "My homework is free of coupons, which is equivalent to coupons for buying things." You have coupons, don't you use them when you buy them? ”
Ms. Wang, a parent, has encountered similar difficulties.
His son Xiaoting was in his second year of junior high school this year, and because of his excellent grades in mathematics and science, he was rewarded for being exempted from homework during the winter vacation. Xiao Ting was elated, but Ms. Wang was worried. "Although these two courses are good, there are still loopholes, and the homework assigned by the teacher is actually a review and consolidation. But my son didn't have this awareness, and felt that it was a little bit to do less. Whether it's a calculation exercise or a ** homework, if you don't do it, you will definitely regress. To be honest, my son is quite lazy, his awareness of learning is not high, he doesn't do the homework assigned by the teacher, and his mother is not happy to do his homework. ”
Ms. Wang earnestly persuaded Xiao Ting that although the homework is exempted, she takes the initiative to do it, which can better reflect self-motivation and will definitely get greater improvement.
But he wouldn't listen to me! I think I'm cheating on him, and I'm going to quarrel if I say a few more words. Why is the baby so bad? Worried! ”
The angle from which you look at the assignment is equally important.
In the view of Xue Peng, a teacher from Pengyang Middle School of Hangzhou Caishi Education Group, the combination of work and rest will be a good winter vacation.
In the winter vacation homework I assigned to the children, I did not directly give rewards for reducing or reducing homework, but optimized the "homework design" according to the students' learning situation in the form of a "study and life guide" during the vacation. Teacher Xue introduced, for example, some students have a good grasp of basic knowledge, and the completion of some homework can be changed from traditional memorization and transcription to project-based homework that pays more attention to autonomy and ability improvement.
At present, some children and parents may have too narrow definition of learning, in fact, learning is not only to do problems, to read, think, ** is the same as learning, knowledge learning is needed, and children also need to improve their ability. During the winter vacation, I hope that the children will go out and see more, observe the world, visit museums, learn about traditional culture, and comprehensively use the knowledge and skills they have learned to solve problems in real life. ”
Teacher Xue also reminded that the perspective of looking at homework is equally important, such as reading ancient poems and texts, in fact, it is not only about mastering knowledge, but also about feeling the beauty of traditional culture, and guiding children from the perspective of improving cultural self-confidence, so that every student can learn effectively in the winter vacation atmosphere of combining work and rest.
Disagreement on the issue of "homework-free".
It's just the opportunity.
Hu Xingxing, vice principal of Hangzhou Caihe Middle School, is a Chinese teacher, and at the beginning of the review phase of each semester, she will carry out a holiday-free homework meeting activity in her class.
However, it is not so easy to get a "homework-free card".
For example, I will set four considerations in the final review stage: speaking carefully and actively in class, completing and correcting homework in a timely manner, being able to take the initiative to complete independent homework, and setting and achieving final goals. Only children who complete these four blocks will receive a 'homework free card'. ”
According to her observations, the proportion of children who have obtained "no homework cards" is not high, and they all have one thing in common, they are all children with excellent learning attitudes and study habits in this subject. She said that the "homework card" is usually the waiver of one assignment, but not all language assignments.
She found that there are two types of ways for children to do "homework-free": some children will happily use "homework-free cards", and most of these children will arrange their own homework; Although some children have a "homework card", they will still complete their homework, and would rather have the "homework card" expired as a souvenir, in their opinion, the "homework card" represents their hard work and is a medal.
The winter vacation homework is open to all, and the top students can choose independently according to their own academic ability, which can better stimulate the learning enthusiasm of the top students and improve the effectiveness of the homework. For most students, the winter vacation homework is the school's full preparation group teachers work together and carefully design, comprehensively considering the learning situation and literacy orientation, etc., the form of homework is diverse, and students should also rationally choose projects and use the rights and interests of free homework. ”
In her view, if parents and children have disagreements on the issue of "no homework", this is precisely an opportunity for homework purpose, homework function and self-review, to carry out an overall learning plan and cultivate independent learning.
