The issue of illustrations in primary and secondary school textbooks has been settled. On August 22, the Ministry of Education reported the results. There were so many words in the report, but there were actually only three questions:
The first question: The illustrations in the textbooks are not beautiful and uplifting, and the overall style of painting is It is not in line with public aesthetics, and some of the characters in the illustrations are rather ugly.
The second problem: not serious and standardized. There are errors in some illustrations, there are too many illustrations, the production level is not high, and there are scientific and normative issues.
The third problem: It is not meticulous and precise, some illustrations are easy to misunderstand, the drawing is rough, some line drawings and improper selection of elements... Of course, someone must be responsible for the problems
has. A total of 27 people were dealt with, including warning, demerit and dismissal. . It did not rise to a criminal level, it was handled internally, and there was no suspicion of any illegal crime. The
report also pointed out that "no financial benefit transfer issues were found between the relevant personnel of People's Education Press and the illustrator Wu Yong, and the general consultant of the overall design art of textbooks Lu Jingren."
did not have a clear response to the issues raised by the public such as "vulgarity, soft pornography, inclusion of private goods, and marginalia".
has been investigating the issue of primary and secondary school textbooks for three months, and finally has this result. Many netizens are dissatisfied and think the handling is too light.
has not found any criminal behavior, and no one has been arrested or sentenced. It is just a matter of responsibility, not a crime. We can only believe in the official announcement.
I have been thinking about the issue of primary and secondary school textbooks these days. I have been a Chinese teacher in a grassroots school for a long time. Why haven't I discovered it? Is the sensitivity too poor?
I asked the teachers around me, and they seemed to be like me and didn't notice the problem at the time. Later, after some digging from the media, I suddenly realized that the textbook in my hand still had such a big problem!
At that time, not only did no one criticize the problem of textbook illustrations, but I saw many words of praise. For example, the illustrations in the textbooks keep pace with the times, and the pictures are vivid and lively, which are welcomed by teachers and students.
At that time, I also felt that times have changed, the teaching materials have changed, and the illustrations in the teaching materials have also changed. Everything is natural.
I am a Chinese teacher. I pay more attention to the landscape paintings in the text. Sometimes I guide students to learn knowledge through pictures based on the text content. For some character illustrations, I also felt that they were different from the previous characters with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn’t think too much about them, let alone think deeply about them.
Other teachers in the school, like me, have almost no reaction to the content of the textbooks. They teach according to the textbooks they are given. Besides, these are textbooks. They have been reviewed many times. Even if I believe that my eyes are wrong, I will not believe it. The textbook is wrong. Even if I thought it was a bit awkward at the time, I would immediately reflect that my level was too low and my structure was too small.
What are teachers concerned about? Teachers are only concerned about salary, rankings, small-scale management plans, etc., which are all mundane matters related to themselves.
Later I discovered that it was not only me who was insensitive, but also the teachers in our school who were insensitive. Teachers in many places were just like us. The problem with the illustrations in the
textbook was discovered by a parent, and then it was posted online, causing an uproar.
Only then did the teachers and I realize that the issue of teaching materials is not that simple. It turns out that there are conspiracy, conspiracy, economic war, and technological war. The problem seems to be getting more and more serious.
I deeply feel that I am too stupid and I am almost suspected of neglecting my duty.
It can be seen that public opinion-oriented issues and rhythm issues can actually affect people's cognitive issues.
For example, when I was a student, I loved the little heroes Yulai and Wang Erxiao in the textbooks, and Haiwa who sent the chicken feather letter, and Liu Hulan, who would rather die than surrender, as well as the prairie hero sisters Long Mei and Yurong, the fire-fighting hero Lai Ning, etc. Illustrations.
later became a teacher. When I saw the illustrations in the textbooks, I thought they were a style of painting that kept pace with the times.
Now the illustrations have been revised, and the cover of the textbook is more educational. For example, in the second volume of Chinese language for grade 9, the cover page is about the military exercise that sealed the sea that just ended.The soldiers standing on the warship can see the outline of the treasure island in the distance;
The second volume of Chinese history for eighth grade, the cover is The scene of the surrender ceremony of Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II ;
The first volume of fifth grade For Chinese language, the cover is about the officers and soldiers of our army guarding the border between China and India; for the first volume of Chinese language for the second grade of
, the cover is about aircraft carriers and battleships and fighter planes, which look exciting!
The physics textbook uses Qian Xuesen's photo on the cover, and the biology textbook uses Yuan Longping's cover...
There are two more questions. One is what should the illustrations be based on? For example, should I wear Hanfu, Chinese tunic suit, sportswear, or a suit? Shoes: cloth shoes, leather shoes or sneakers? This reflects the characteristics of the times.
The second question is, now that the problem of textbook illustrations has been solved, how to solve the many problems that arise in the textbook content? Should we also be held accountable?
