The dilemma of Chinese teaching The teacher does not teach the test, the teacher does not teach, it is all reading comprehension!
The dilemma of Chinese teaching: teachers don't teach exams, and teachers don't teach exams, and they all rely on reading comprehension.
Why are today's students tired? Although the burden on students has been reduced over the years, the study is still heavy. After reading the recent article on language, many people seem to suddenly understand the reason.
Recently, some parents have complained to the education department that teachers spend too much time revising, but the content of the test is reading comprehension, year after year, and the burden has increased instead of decreasing.
Check out the new 6th grade language test, which is six pages long and contains all the reading comprehension questions.
This type of question may not even be able to get a high score even for a sixth-grade Chinese teacher. Many netizens have expressed their opinions on this phenomenon, let's take a look:
So, why is today's language exam like this? What exactly is the reason?
First of all, the requirements of the new curriculum reform emphasize that mastering the language means mastering everything, which will increase the difficulty of language examinations in the future. Since the implementation of the new curriculum standards, the orientation of language tests has changed, with more emphasis on reading comprehension. Some experts declared"Those who have the language will win the world"It means that in the future, we should put Chinese learning in the first place, and if the language is not good, it will be difficult for other subjects to excel. On the contrary, if you do well in linguistics, you will naturally do well in other subjects. Looking at the current examinations of various subjects, reading comprehension is basically the mainstay. Even in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects, the test questions are extra-long, similar to Chinese reading comprehension, and the content is not related to the subject, and it is completely up to the students to distinguish themselves. Although the Chinese subject was catching up, I didn't expect the sixth graders to have such a difficult exam.
Overall, these language tests are in line with the requirements of the new curriculum reform, which is designed to test students' reading comprehension skills.
Secondly, there is a serious disconnect between language teaching and examinations, and most language teachers still follow traditional teaching methods. Despite the many new requirements for language teaching in the new ministerial manual, the majority of language teachers still use traditional teaching methods. Even in the review and preparation for the exam, the teaching of book knowledge and basic knowledge is still the mainstay, and the cultivation of reading comprehension ability is only reflected in the teaching of new courses. This is also a point that many parents complain about: there is a complete inconsistency between what the teacher teaches and what is tested.
Why do teachers do this?
First of all, teachers, as front-line teaching staff, know the situation of students best. Many students do not have a good grasp of basic knowledge, do not know many words and sentences, and cannot write, how can they be authorized to carry out reading comprehension training first? Secondly, many Chinese teachers cannot find the answers to the reading comprehension questions, and do not dare to give explanations easily in the absence of exact answers, so as not to mislead students.
In short, language teaching and language testing are currently two separate groups, and most language teachers do not have a good way to improve the reading skills of today's students.
Opinion 3: Currently, experts overestimate children's actual abilities, and many children do not have a good grasp of the basics.
There seems to be a general perception among many frontline teachers that while the burden is decreasing year by year, the difficulty of exams is increasing year by year. They believe that experts overestimate the abilities of modern children, and that the difficulty of the exam questions is actually too high.
This question arises not only in language subjects, but also in subjects such as math and English. Teachers are finding that the test questions are getting harder and harder, beyond the normal IQ level of many children. If you just rely on textbooks, children will not be able to get high grades. As a result, teachers have to add a lot of extra knowledge to their teaching, and many children have to participate in various exam preparation classes, which can be the main reason for the academic overload! Exams are very difficult, and it is almost impossible for children to do well if they do not go to cram school.
Today's exams are not strictly designed to test students' actual learning level, but to see how to overload students, so the questions are increasingly difficult.
In short: the current language exams are indeed too difficult and beyond the comprehension of many children. These exams only exacerbate educational anxiety and increase the burden on students. In order to get good grades, many children have to participate in various exam preparation classes, and teachers have to add additional knowledge points. In the context of the current power and load limiting, this situation is obviously inconsistent with the concept of power and load limiting. Although reducing the burden should not come at the expense of grades, primary school students have limited time after all, so how can learning more make it easier for them? Are all children supposed to be geniuses?
The purpose of education is not to make all children geniuses, but to make every child a talented person. From this point of view, making the topic too difficult is contrary to the laws of education and is not in line with the actual situation.
