In recent years, the biggest education reform has probably been in Chinese. Especially after the implementation of the Ministry’s textbooks, many teachers sighed that they are no longer able to take Chinese classes and don’t know how to teach them. In recent years, Chinese language education reform has been vigorously. How have they achieved?
Recently, a senior teacher posted online: I have been teaching for more than 20 years, and my students' writing skills are getting worse and worse. In the past, children were really good at writing articles, but now students hardly know how to write, and even know how to make basic details appropriate.
Asked the Chinese teacher around me, and almost everyone had the same questions. I feel that the writing level of children nowadays is really poor. Many sixth-grade students have written many typos in the articles, let alone the sentences are smooth and prominent. Then why are children’s writing skills getting worse and worse now? The teachers also summarized some reasons.
First: Students read too little, and most students don’t have time to study hard.
Improvement of writing skills is not an easy task, it requires long-term accumulation, especially a lot of reading, but now students have almost no time to read.
Although schools are now trying their best to guide students to read more and read good books, the current school burden of students is too heavy and they have endless homework to do every day, so how can they have time to read idle books? Even if there is some time, the children still want to rest and relax for a while. In addition, it is still an exam-oriented education. All schools pursue scores. In order to improve Chinese scores, the effective short-term method is to do more questions, so teachers will not leave time for children to read books, but instead assign a large number of test papers.
Currently, it is difficult for children to have many subjects for exams. It is already very tired to deal with so many courses and homework, and they really don’t have much time to read. There are few books, few knowledge, and no deep understanding of society and life. How can you write beautiful articles? So the decline in writing skills means that everyone has a smooth growth.
Second: Nowadays, Chinese teaching does not focus on double basics, and it is too high, and many children do not even master the basic knowledge.
Teachers who have taught elementary school students have found that nowadays, let alone write beautiful articles, many children cannot even do basic sentences smoothly and carefully. Why do our children have such poor Chinese foundation? It has a lot to do with the Chinese language education reform in recent years.
Our educational reform abandoned the "dual basics" in 1999 and turned to " three-dimensional goal ". In 2022, we began to develop core literacy again. The goal is getting higher and higher, but it is getting farther and farther away from the foundation. If you look at our Chinese test papers, you will understand that basic knowledge accounts for less and less scores, and book knowledge accounts for less and less scores. They are all extracurricular knowledge and reading comprehension. The teachers will not pay attention to basic knowledge when exams are not focused on basic knowledge, so the basic knowledge of children is getting worse and worse. Many children do not know how to write many words after graduating from elementary school, and there are many typos. How can this level of work be written to write beautiful articles?
does not pay attention to double basics is the biggest problem in current Chinese language teaching and the main reason why students' writing skills are getting worse and worse.
Third: There are too many kinds of teaching reforms, and the teachers have been in a state of being tossed and don’t know how to attend classes.
The most difficult thing in recent years is probably the Chinese teacher. He has to train and study almost every year to learn new curriculum standards and learn new concepts. Chinese language education reform is becoming more and more high-end, which makes many teachers at a loss. Look at the new nouns born in recent years: Chinese language, core literacy, humanistic literacy, flipped classroom, subject integration , etc. Many noun teachers don’t understand what they mean, and they are always confused. The most important thing is that the first thing that changes every reform is the classroom, which leads many teachers to say that they really don’t know how to teach Chinese classes now?
As Chinese reading comprehension accounts for a larger and larger proportion in the test paper, many teachers put interpretation textbooks first. You can understand by looking at the book reviews recorded by students. Almost every article is densely packed.Students who teach Chinese like this are even more tired. Many students say that the most annoying thing now is Chinese classes. There is still a lot of homework in class and they still can’t get good grades.
Why are students' writing skills so poor? Isn’t it worth our reflection?
Chinese teaching reform is becoming more and more high-end, and students' Chinese language ability has not improved much, and the reasons are worth reflecting on.
Whether it is a student or a teacher, you can feel the changes in Chinese in recent years. That is, Chinese questions are becoming more and more difficult. It is very difficult for primary school students to get 90 points in Chinese tests, let alone seniors.
On the one hand, Chinese teaching reform is getting higher and higher, while on the other hand, students' Chinese ability has not improved much; on the one hand, students are becoming more and more tired of studying Chinese, and on the other hand, they cannot get good grades. So what exactly should our Chinese language teach students? Is it really scientific to let children analyze complex articles without even mastering the basic words and sentences?
All of this is indeed worth our reflection.
at the end:
Personally believe that writing ability is the highest manifestation of Chinese language ability. In the past, people took the exam just to write an article. As long as you have strong writing skills, your Chinese language skills will not be bad, so how to improve children's writing skills is the focus of Chinese language teaching. However, now we attach too much importance to reading comprehension. The exam takes up too much space and is too long. The key is that there are standard answers. All of this limits students' thinking and is not conducive to improving Chinese language skills.
