This semester, students from major, middle and primary schools in Chengdu have discovered that there is a brand new course on the course schedule - labor.

In fact, this stems from the official release of the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" in April this year. The curriculum standards require that from the start of this fall semester, labor courses have officially become an independent compulsory course in primary and secondary schools. The average annual rate is no less than 1 class per week, and are used for activity planning, skill guidance, practice practice, summary and exchange, etc.

In other words, labor courses have become independent courses from the original elective courses. This also leads to a series of issues worthy of attention: Unlike subjects such as Chinese, mathematics and foreign countries, there is no major in normal colleges called "labor". So, who should be the teacher of labor courses? What else should I teach?

Labor education is closely related to real life

Chengdu did

What is the accurate definition of labor courses?

Head of the Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards Group of the Ministry of Education and Dean of the Labor Education Research Institute of Nanjing Normal University, Gu Jianjun said in an interview with the media that the compulsory education labor courses are based on rich and open labor projects as the carrier, and the focus is on organizing students to participate in daily life labor, production labor and service labor in a purposeful and planned manner, so that students can practice hands-on, sweat, receive training, and temper their will, and cultivate students' correct labor values, good labor habits and qualities.

So, after looking through the complete curriculum standards, Chengdu Business Daily Education Release reporter found that "how to teach this class in labor", the curriculum standards have actually been planned very clearly - the labor course content is divided into three categories: daily life labor, production labor, and service labor, and 10 task groups are recommended, including cleaning and hygiene, sorting and storage, cooking and nutrition.

Labor education course content

Of course, this semester labor education course schedule is not surprising to the industry. As early as 2020, the national level had issued the " Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges, Middle Schools and Primary Schools in the New Era" and put forward clear requirements for setting up compulsory labor education courses in colleges, middle schools and primary schools, and setting up Labor Week every academic year.

From a realistic perspective, as a national labor education experimental zone, Chengdu took a step earlier, and not only has planned labor education as a whole, but each district also has outstanding explorations, and the time will be earlier than this year. For example, Jinniu District released the first labor list for primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the country as early as 2020, and was shared with the country as experience at the press conference of the Ministry of Education that year. Qingyang District also developed and completed more than 80 school-based labor education textbooks, including "Three Meetings Empowering" Labor Course", "Really Good Labor Education", and "Hehe Meimei Labor Manual". More than 20 national intangible cultural heritage inheritors, winners of Sichuan Province's "May 1 Labor Medal", Chengdu model workers and other craftsmen and masters went to primary and secondary school campuses to carry out the "Qingyang Upward" labor education characteristic project. In December 2021, Chengdu Education Bureau also released a trial list of labor education projects for colleges, middle and primary schools in Chengdu across the city, including six parts: low-level primary schools, middle and high-level primary schools, junior high schools, general high schools, vocational colleges, and general higher education institutions.

In other words, for many primary and secondary schools in Chengdu, although labor education has not been formally promoted before, relevant courses have been started long ago.

Where does the teachers come from

Full-time + part-time is the norm

Previously, a survey on "labor education" showed that regarding the difficulties faced by primary and secondary schools in opening labor courses, the top two options are "Lack of full-time teachers in labor courses" and "Limited practice venues" .

Yes, you can find corresponding majors in normal colleges and universities. So where should you find teachers in labor education? We have checked the recruitment notices of various schools in Chengdu since the spring of this year and noticed that many schools are recruiting labor education teachers.

For example, in the recruitment notice issued by Tianfu New District Sixth Primary School in February this year, the description of labor education teachers mentioned that the school sets up the position of "labor or general subject";

In May this year, in order to recruit labor education teachers and calligraphy teachers, Yandao Street Primary School also issued a recruitment notice.

Qingbaijiang District Experimental Primary School North District Branch is a school officially opened in July this year. In their recruitment notice released this summer, it was clarified that Chinese teachers should serve as teachers of morality, law and labor education.

In other words, some schools specifically recruit transferred teachers for labor education, while others serve as part-time. So, what kind of teachers are the final recruitment of each school? A reporter from Chengdu Business Daily visited the school where the recruitment notice was reported.

The labor teachers finally recruited by Tianfu New District No. 6 Primary School are general subject teachers, and they are very good at math because they have overseas study experience, are also very good at English, and have strong student activity skills.

During the summer vacation of the high-tech zone Jingrong Primary School, a full-time labor teacher was recruited. The teacher was a science and technology innovation teacher and had his own expertise in hands-on practice and scientific creation. The school believes that it is appropriate to implement labor education with his work experience and subject background.

reporters also interviewed many other schools and found that there were many people who "part-time jobs". Of course, this kind of "part-time job" is not just about picking a teacher to deal with this course, but many schools have explored the fusion course . For example, 分官网彩学号 , primary school labor education is implemented by Chinese teachers; 分官网 分网 分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 未分网 � How to take the

discipline fusion is a consensus

Regarding possible site restrictions, each school has planned labor education courses that meet the actual situation of the school according to local conditions. A general consensus is that the geographical environment, campus environment, family and social environment of schools can all become resources for labor education. Labor education should not be limited to classrooms and classrooms.

For example, the life and labor of Jingrong Primary School in the High-tech Zone is mainly carried out by children in the family, and at school, it is enough to bring good family living habits to school. There are also some campus life that require students to participate, such as cleaning the classroom, tidying up schoolbags and bookcases, having lunch and having meals, and cleaning up the plates. The school's production labor originally included small farms and food education courses, but due to the current campus renovation construction, it cannot be carried out for the time being.

Shuanglin Primary School's labor education includes related labor knowledge and hands-on operation classes, such as manual DIY, creative kitchens, life tips, etc., to give full play to the educational function of labor courses; the "May Day" Labor Week will also hold a labor skills competition. At the same time, the land area was classified as a unit of the class. Under the guidance of the teacher, the students planted fruits and vegetables, and watered and weeded regularly. Every Friday at 3:30 p.m. is the labor cleaning time for all teachers and students in the school. Everyone cleans the class public area and organizes personal belongings together. Family labor has clear working hours, and each student learns at least one specialty dish.

The labor education in Chengdu Middle School generally focuses on subject coordination, integrates labor education with general technology, chemistry, biology, information technology and other disciplines, deeply explores the labor education elements in various disciplines, and strengthens labor education at the moment when new curriculum and new textbooks are implemented.Labor education in many middle schools is led by the Moral Education and Academic Affairs Office, and is integrated with multiple disciplines and is no longer limited to a single teacher.

For example, Shiwai Wulongshan Campus has more than 20 acres of three-story terraced fields, which is enough for them to carry out production labor. On the holiday on September 30, each student can bring a few sweet potatoes home. These sweet potatoes are planted in the school fields and will be dug up by the students themselves after they mature. The school also has two experienced farmers hired to manage the land. They can explain them from the perspective of labor skills. However, the two farmers cannot combine educational concepts, so the teaching of the school subject teachers is needed to make up for the position, because labor education courses are different from labor, and Education is the essential attribute of labor education courses . The advantage of school subject teachers is that they can teach from the subject perspective and combine production labor. For example, physics teachers talk about the irrigation system of school farmland, geography teachers talk about the impact of weather on crops, biology teachers talk about pest control, etc., and double harvest of knowledge and skills.

This year's Autumnal Equinox happens to be the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival.

Sanyuan Foreign Language Labor Education attaches great importance to practice and is jointly implemented by the school's Moral Education Department and the Academic Affairs Office. There are different teachers according to different teaching themes. For example, in the past two weeks, the students' labor class was to make Pixian Douban , and the school's general technical teacher was taught. If it is made of kimchi, it will be the biology teacher at the school. Some special labor themes, such as intangible cultural heritage-related courses, may be to invite off-campus professionals to teach. The relevant person in charge of the school said that labor education in primary and secondary schools in Chengdu was carried out relatively early, and most schools have far more class hours than those stipulated by the Ministry of Education.
