"Double reduction" work is a major livelihood issue that the Party Central Committee is concerned about, the masses are concerned, and the society is concerned. On August 11, the Office of the Education Supervision Committee of the State Council issued a notice to establish a half-month notification system for the implementation of "double reductions" in various regions, giving a boost to the burden reduction work.
The "double reduction" policy takes the implementation of the fundamental task of Lide Shuren as the starting point, focuses on building a high-quality education system, and clearly puts forward the goals, tasks and measures for job management and reform. In the school, the school’s education quality and service level are required to be further improved, the assignment of homework is more scientific and reasonable, the school’s after-school services basically meet the needs of students, and students’ learning can better return to campus.
As educators, we should think about the meaning and goals behind the policy. The premise of reducing the burden is to comprehensively improve the quality of school teaching, optimize the reform of education and teaching, improve the quality of classroom teaching, optimize the education method, and play the main role of the school on the basis of respecting the laws of education and teaching.
How to do a good job management? How to effectively reduce the burden? Improving the concept of homework and clarifying the nature and function of homework is a difficult problem that schools and teachers face together. This requires primary and secondary schools to actively explore a way to reform homework and achieve the purpose of controlling quantity and increasing efficiency. The Education and Sports Bureau of Longkou City, Shandong Province actively responds to social concerns and expectations, adheres to student-oriented, focuses on the healthy growth of students’ physical and mental health, guarantees students’ right to rest, and fully implements the national regulations on reducing students’ excessive academic burdens, starting from “management of work hours”. The two aspects of "optimized homework design system" and “optimized homework design system” started with efforts to reduce the burden on homework. Relying on the Huawei Smart Cloud Classroom supported by big data, we innovated the way to effectively reduce the burden and improve the quality scientifically.
Since 2020, Longkou City has initiated the construction of the Huawei Smart Cloud Classroom project covering junior high schools in the city, integrating artificial intelligence technology into each micro-step in teaching, and harmonizing the amount of work per subject and the total amount of work , And taking into account the needs of differentiated teaching, set goal-oriented personalized homework for each student to achieve the precise teaching goal of "increasing efficiency without increasing, reducing burden without reducing quality". Relying on the AI smart school-based workbooks of Huawei Smart Cloud Classroom, each junior high school in Longkou City focuses on solving problems of type, difficulty, and quantity of homework, supported by big data in daily learning, and arranged hierarchically and differentiated according to the level of students.Improve the pertinence and effectiveness of homework assignments, and make homework "quantity best quality".
Establish an operation coordination mechanism, improve operation management methods, and achieve control of the total amount of operations. Use cloud classroom to prepare lessons collectively for the whole city and each school grade subject group, strengthen subject group, level (grade group) homework coordination, rationally control the homework structure, and ensure that the difficulty does not exceed the national curriculum standard. The cloud classroom homework setting module is open and transparent, and the homework publicity system is adopted to strengthen quality supervision. The subject group uniformly drafts the scope of work, and studies and masters the degree of difficulty of the work. The grade department (grade group) conducts the overall planning of the homework, collectively summarizes the tasks to be assigned by each subject group, conducts an evaluation, and determines whether the workload is moderate. The specific department director (grade group leader) is responsible for the implementation of the class teacher. Once the content of the homework and the amount of homework are determined, the teacher shall not change it without authorization. If it needs to be changed, the content of the homework can be replaced, but the amount and difficulty of the homework must not be increased, and the standardized management of the homework will finally be realized.
The teaching and research staff of various disciplines in the city teaching and research office can log in to the teaching and research staff account to clearly and specifically manage the scope, difficulty and quality of the work planned by the schools in the city. Through the statistical analysis of cloud classroom data, the Municipal Education Technology Center can perform quantitative analysis on the homework and teaching quality of each school, and use the data to evaluate the quality of the homework.
The system is designed with hierarchical operations, arranging flexible and personalized operations, and improving the quality of operations. The Longkou Education and Sports Bureau strictly implements the requirements of the Ministry of Education for the amount of homework to ensure that no written homework is assigned to the first and second grades of elementary school; the average completion time of written homework in the third to fifth grade of elementary school does not exceed 60 minutes; the average completion time of written homework in junior high school More than 90 minutes. Resolutely overcome mechanical and invalid operations when designing teaching assignments, and eliminate repetitive and punitive operations. Give full play to the functions of homework diagnosis, consolidation, and academic analysis on the cloud classroom platform, and incorporate homework design into the teaching and research system. The system design conforms to the age characteristics and learning rules of students, and reflects the basic homework oriented by quality education . Subject teachers of all grades in each school use the massive question bank in the cloud classroom to screen questions that meet their academic conditions. The school's teaching and research section organizes the backbone of the subject to review the questions, conduct hierarchical homework design for daily homework, and carry out precise exercises. Weekend assignments are the backbone teachers of the core schools of the city’s school development community.According to the teaching progress determined by the teaching and research staff of various subjects in the teaching and research section, test questions are selected from the massive test questions on the cloud classroom platform, and printed into AI smart workbooks after review and confirmation. The AI smart homework book ensures that the amount of homework for all grades in the city is uniform, and the quality of the test questions is guaranteed. At the same time, give full play to the advantages of layered operations to ensure the accuracy, standardization and effectiveness of operations. Through the AI smart homework book, the teacher truly realizes the complete revision of the diagnostic feedback homework, avoiding the assignment or disguised assignment of homework to the parents. The Municipal Education Technology Center sorts out, analyzes, and summarizes the collected homework data, and tracks the “quantity” of homework throughout the process.
Real-time feedback of homework data, accompanying tracking of learning situation, and precise guidance of homework. In the past, the process of reviewing student homework was to complete the homework the night before, and after school the next day, representatives of each subject collected the homework and sent it to the teacher. The teacher reviewed the homework and the teacher analyzed and summarized the homework. Finally, the class commented. In this process, the tasks that require human participation, such as counting the number of people turned in and the correct rate of test questions, are too cumbersome, which seriously affects the efficiency of the homework in teaching. Subject teachers in Longkou Junior High School rely on the cloud classroom platform, which not only simplifies the manual process, but can also rely on big data support to objectively and efficiently mark, count, analyze, and give feedback on homework. The homework completed by the students is collected on the cloud platform through the scanner, and the teacher can complete the homework review through the computer or mobile phone anytime and anywhere. After the review is completed, the system will complete the analysis of the whole class of students' homework within 1-2 minutes, and the results will be presented in real time, highlighting the timeliness and pertinence of the homework evaluation. After the teacher's review, the cloud classroom system not only realizes timely data feedback, supports the teacher's accurate teaching in the next step, but also automatically generates the student's personalized wrong question book to improve the accuracy of teaching. Students’ wrong questions are automatically collected, and teachers can accurately grasp the wrong data of each test question in the wrong question bank, which provides data support for targeted training. With the support of big data for statistical analysis of exercises, teachers can carry out hierarchical and accurate teaching guidance, and students can receive targeted test questions pushed by the system to conduct intensive training and improve learning effects.
Build a mobile-free informatization learning mode, cloud management of academic data, and strengthen mobile phone management. According to the “Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones for Primary and Middle School Students” in the General Office of the Ministry of Education, Longkou Education and Sports Bureau, “Strengthen classroom teaching and homework management,"Not to use mobile phones to assign homework or require students to use mobile phones to complete homework" and other requirements. The "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones for Primary and Middle School Students" and the "Notice on Standardizing "Tablet Teaching" and Other Work" have been issued, requiring primary and secondary schools in the city to Attach importance to protecting students’ eyesight, allowing students to concentrate on their studies at school, preventing indulging in online games, and promoting students’ physical and mental health. The Huawei Smart Cloud classroom teaching used by junior high schools in the city has not changed the original teaching and learning habits of teachers and students in the classroom. Using the mobile-free learning mode, the students’ practice work is scanned on-site through the scanner equipped in the class, and uploaded to the cloud for analysis, statistics, and feedback in real time, realizing smart classroom teaching based on big data, and fundamentally ensuring that students are familiar with mobile phones and tablets. Excessive exposure and dependence.
Information-based integrated teaching, innovative teaching methods, improving teaching efficiency, and achieving five education simultaneously. The burden of homework is too heavy, which can not achieve the effect of reviewing the past and learning the new, but also occupying the students' normal exercise, rest, and entertainment Time. Longkou City Education and Sports Bureau relies on Huawei Smart Cloud Classroom to effectively carry out heuristic, interactive, and inquiry-based teaching, organize research-based, project-based, and cooperative learning, and make full use of education information to carry out contextual teaching In order to achieve the purpose of guiding schools to improve teaching management procedures, optimize teaching methods, strengthen teaching management, and improve student learning efficiency at school. Strengthen classroom teaching research, strengthen lesson preparation management, teachers give full play to the role of the main position in the classroom, and mobilize students' initiative in learning Requires efficiency in the classroom and results in the classroom.
The quality of classroom teaching is improved, and schools no longer increase or decrease class hours at will, speed up the progress. Schools can also open all the courses required by the state, and insist on morality. People, five educations at the same time. The content of moral education is refined into the teaching goals of various disciplines and courses, and it is integrated into the whole process of education, teaching and school management. Mental health education is run through the whole process of education and teaching, and a screening of students with mental health problems is established , Identification and intervention mechanism. Strengthen physical exercise, guide students to exercise scientifically, master health knowledge, guide students out of classroom activities between classes, ensure that students spend no less than 1 hour in campus sports activities every day during school, and ensure that students meet the standards of physical fitness and health. , Master 1 to 3 sports skills. Enhance aesthetic education, open art courses, organically integrate the aesthetic education content of related disciplines, and train each student to learn 1 to 2 art skills.Strengthen labor education, implement labor education class hours, carry out labor education and labor practice, and extensively carry out labor education practice activities.
In addition, the Longkou City Education and Sports Bureau has also established a scientific evaluation system to ensure that the "double reduction" is truly implemented. All schools are required to grasp their achievements under the premise of abiding by the school-running standards, release teachers' educational feelings, and abandon one-sided and short-sighted utilitarian thinking. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the requirements of the compulsory education quality evaluation guidelines, and not one-sidedly evaluate teachers based on the admission rate and test scores; the "double reduction" work is organically combined with teacher performance assessment, and the management reform of " county management school hire" is fully mobilized. Work enthusiasm and give full play to the role of teachers in the "double reduction" work; make full use of Huawei's smart cloud classroom, carry out smart teaching, establish precise teaching supported by big data, and achieve burden reduction and quality improvement.
Longkou City, Shandong Province thoroughly implements the requirements of education authorities at all levels on homework burden reduction, deeply grasps the pain points and difficulties in actual teaching, takes student development as the center, and strives to explore and build on the basis of existing homework burden reduction reforms. Data-supported work management system for smart teaching. By attaching importance to the actual homework data generated by students and their visualization, knowledge is digitized, labelled and systematized, and the learning content is accurately matched with the needs of children, so as to achieve "knowledge looking for people". With the help of procedural data and information-based resource integration, a closed feedback loop is formed, so as to continuously promote the overall optimization of teaching, research, and homework management, and explore a sunny road for "burden reduction of homework".
