Volunteer teaching for college students has been a topic that has attracted much attention in recent years, and many students hope to participate in social welfare activities in their spare time, one of which is volunteer teaching. However, as time went by, more and more village party secretaries and school teachers expressed that they did not want college students to come to the villages to teach again, and even shouted "Please, don't come". This article will discuss the pros and cons of college students' volunteer teaching, and put forward some thoughts and suggestions.
1. The benefits of volunteer teaching for college students
College students' participation in volunteer teaching activities can bring certain benefits to their personal development. First of all, through exchanges and contacts with rural students, they can broaden their horizons and enhance their cognition and understanding of society. Secondly, volunteer teaching activities can improve college students' organizational, communication and leadership skills, and cultivate their sense of teamwork. The most important thing is that the volunteer teaching experience can add a lot of color to the personal resume of college students, which will help them in their future employment and job search.
2. The impact of volunteer teaching on rural students
However, there are some problems that have an adverse impact on rural students. First of all, college students who come from cities to rural areas to teach often only stay for a short period of time, which leads to frequent changes of teachers among rural students, and it is impossible to form a stable learning environment and educational order. Second, some college students only participate in volunteer teaching to add credits or seek personal interests, rather than really caring about the education and growth of students. Their attitude towards students can be impatient and even traumatic to the students' psyche. In addition, due to the difference in educational resources between urban and rural areas, some college students are unable to adapt to the rural environment and living conditions, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of volunteer teaching work.
Considering the above problems, if college students really want to participate in volunteer teaching activities, they need to be more careful in the selection and participation process.
1. Participate in formal volunteer teaching organization activities
College students can choose to participate in volunteer teaching activities organized by some formal schools or organizations. These events usually involve interviews and training for students to ensure that participants have a certain level of teaching ability and quality. Participants will be trained in relevant teaching methods to improve their own education level and teaching quality, so as to better provide useful knowledge and education to rural students.
2. Pay attention to responsibility and sense of mission
No matter what form of volunteer teaching activities they participate in, college students should pay attention to their own responsibility and sense of mission. Volunteer teaching is not only an accumulation of personal experience and experience, but also an important impact on the future development of rural students. College students should fulfill their responsibilities and conscientiously complete their teaching tasks and provide quality education and guidance to rural students. Only by paying real attention to the growth and development of students can we make practical contributions to the cause of rural education.
1. Strengthen the equalization of urban and rural educational resources
In order to solve the problem of volunteer education, we need to fundamentally solve the difference between urban and rural education resources. ** We should increase investment in rural education, increase the number of teachers, and improve the teaching facilities and teaching quality of rural schools. Only by equalizing educational resources can we effectively reduce the demand for college students to support teaching and the educational plight of rural students.
2. Establish a long-term support mechanism
In view of the problem of short-term teaching support in college students' volunteer teaching activities, a long-term support mechanism can be considered. For example, schools can establish a fixed cooperative relationship with rural schools, and send a group of teachers or volunteers to rural schools every year to teach in rural schools. In this way, a stable relationship between the school and the students can be maintained, which not only reduces the pressure of personnel turnover in rural schools, but also allows students to have a more stable teaching environment.
3. Increase training and guidance for college students
In order to improve the effectiveness and quality of college students' volunteer teaching, schools and organizations should strengthen the training and guidance of participants. By providing more training in teaching methods and communication skills, we will help college students better adapt to the learning characteristics of rural students and improve their teaching ability and level. At the same time, the necessary psychological counseling and care are provided to the volunteer teaching participants, so that they can pay more attention to the individual needs and development of rural students.
Teaching for college students is a beneficial and complex issue, which brings certain benefits, but also some challenges and problems. For college students, they should have a clear goal and sense of responsibility to participate in volunteer teaching, not only focusing on personal interests, but also paying attention to the education and development of students. As far as society is concerned, it is necessary to increase support for rural education, narrow the gap between urban and rural education, and provide a good educational environment and resources for rural students. Only by making joint efforts can we make the college students' volunteer teaching activities play their due value and role, and make greater contributions to China's educational cause.
