Jiading District Caowang Primary School is located at the northernmost point of Shanghai. It borders Luodian and Luojing in Baoshan District in the east and 10 minutes to the north. It is the anchorage of Zhenghe Xiayang, Liujiagang, Jiangsu Province. Cao Wang Primary School, with a history of nearly 110 years, has not brought any care to the school for a long time. The proportion of children living in the city and migrant workers has risen steadily (now close to 85%). In the face of the outflow of key teachers, the lack of family education methods, and the inability of parents to care for their children’s growth, school development Once faced an unprecedented challenge. Archimedes has an old saying, "Give me a fulcrum, I will shake the whole earth." Cao Wang Primary School, which is in the low valley, has been trying to find the “fulcrum†that can incite school reform.
I. Innovation Lab: The Transformation of a Rural Primary School
Curriculum reform does have many unfavorable factors such as “teachers, concepts, hardware facilities†for rural schools. However, we also have the natural resource advantages that urban schools do not have. In February 2010, a bold idea was brewing at Caowang Elementary School.
1. The prototype of the farm, the innovation laboratory. In amazement, doubts, and excitement, this remote and quiet campus is bustling with the need to get out of trouble. Soon, a miniature farm was built. The squat farm, which covers only half a cre of land, is small and complete, with “one room, one hall and one gallery†and “four practice basesâ€. “One Room, One Pavilion and One Gallery†consists of “Nonggan Culture Showroomâ€, “Modern Agricultural Museum†and “Shen Nongjiaâ€. The “Four Practice Bases†consists of “Fantastic Observation Windowâ€, “Happy Test Fieldâ€, “Greenhouse Test Field†and “Out-of-School Practice Baseâ€. There are also a variety of student associations, such as “Journalist Stationâ€, “Guide Clubâ€, “Growing Teamâ€, “Future Agricultural Creative Society†and “Innovative Cultivation Research Institute for Fruits and Vegetablesâ€.
2. From the farm to the small Shennong Innovation Laboratory. To run the “丫丫 Farmâ€, our original intention is to use an advanced educational concept to cultivate a new generation of people with the consciousness of the times and the ability to develop; to make “丫丫 Farm†a base for cultivating students' innovative qualities and developing students' creative potential. And platform. The secret of mung bean growth, the influence of various soils on wheat germination and pre-seed growth, why are there no hordes of cucumbers and sisters in plants, and plants will “resurreate and dieâ€?...one looks like a young but challenging The small topic has become the subject of children's discussion and exploration after school. The farm has become a laboratory for “small godsâ€. They are grouped in groups of three, and sometimes they are recorded and discussed from time to time... Here, the children are no longer the pre-set “reproduce†and “verifyâ€. It is a practical experience that stimulates interest and releases imagination. In 2012, “Little Shennong Innovation Lab†officially became the second batch of Shanghai Primary and Secondary School Innovation Labs, and was selected as the “Shanghai Primary and Secondary School Innovation Lab Case Collectionâ€.
3. Future strategic thinking. In 2016, the upgraded version of “Small Shennong Innovation Lab†“Smart Agriculture Lab†was listed as a municipal support project. Recently, we are doing strategic planning for the construction of innovative laboratories, further integrating the resources of “Small Shennong Innovation Lab†and “Intelligent Agriculture Lab†to create a more attractive platform for innovation activities – “Core Agriculture Maker Center†Thus, a new pattern of "two rooms, two halls and one center" was formed. “Two rooms, two halls and one center†specifically refers to: Xiaoshenong Innovation Laboratory, Intelligent Agriculture Laboratory, Farming Culture Center, Modern Agriculture Experience Center and Core Agriculture Creation Center. The program was affirmed and supported by the leadership of the Jiading District Education Bureau. This will definitely be another new growth point for Caowang Primary School, and it will certainly bring new motivation and vitality to the school.
Second, the small Shennong course: a "revolution" of teaching and learning
Xiaoshenong Innovation Lab has made the campus an open laboratory, allowing rural children to have their own new curriculum, which has triggered a “revolution†that subverts traditional teaching and provides a valuable value for solving rural school curriculum reform. s Choice.
1. "Little Shennong Course" leads to learning "revolution"
While building an innovation laboratory, we conducted the structure and implementation of the “Little Shennong Courseâ€. The "Little Shennong Course" starts from the background of rural children's life, with time as a clue, including 4 modules with a total of 20 learning units (themes). The four modules are “farming civilizationâ€, “traditional agricultureâ€, “modern agriculture†and “future agricultureâ€. The 20 “learning units†are set according to the age characteristics of the students. Each theme has 4 themes, which combines the growth of children with the spiral of knowledge, allowing students to learn agricultural knowledge step by step, to learn agricultural skills, and to explore. The mystery of agriculture, and finally to the small Shennong self-exploration and discovery.
The "Little Shennong Course" leads students into the magical crop paradise, changes the simple knowledge transfer, pays attention to the core learning literacy of students, the incubation and generation of students' "independence, cooperation and experience", the overall literacy of students, and the comprehensive way of thinking. , innovative spirit and inquiry ability, and formed a variety of learning models.
2. Embedded teaching is our curriculum “recipe†Life is education, nature is a living teaching material for rural children. The “Little Shennong Innovation Lab†provides a wealth of resources for basic courses. The basic course also adds a lot of extensional content to the “Little Shennong Innovation Labâ€, and such fusion development has become a reality. We use the "Little Shennong Innovation Lab" as the curriculum base, and integrate the "laboratory" elements organically with the basic courses of language, mathematics, English, nature, society, etc., forming a unique "science world" and The embedded teaching mode of “Life World†organic integration has effectively changed the current situation of the existing curriculum and rural children's life experience, enriched the students' learning experience and comprehensively improved the overall quality of students. In 2014, our "Wisdom Little Shennong, Beautiful New Countryside" won the "Second Prize of Shanghai Teaching Achievements".
Third, the new pastoral education: a return to the origin of life
Based on the "Innovation Lab" and "Little Shennong Course", based on the history of a hundred years of schooling, we have absorbed the spirit of the times and put forward the educational philosophy of the current school - the new pastoral education. Our interpretation of "New Pastoral Education" is: To create a concept of education and education, to provide a good educational environment for each child's growth. Let children return to childhood, return to nature, return to life, return to the original of life... Our curriculum philosophy is: Let every seed thrive.
In our eyes, every child is a seed of life with genius characteristics. As long as they give enough "sunshine, moisture and nourishment", they can get the best development of themselves. Everything in our history has changed quietly... We have tried to integrate the "new pastoral education" school education philosophy into "moral education, curriculum, classroom, management" and other fields, and strive to practice the "new rural moral education" of the society. The new pastoral curriculum of the migration "the new pastoral classroom that will grow", "the new pastoral teacher that will be cultivated", "the new pastoral guarantee that will serve." This new rural education, which is sprouted and created by the soil, is a new and deep attempt of rural education. From “Innovation Labs†to “Little Shennong Coursesâ€, from “Little Shennong Courses†to “New Pastoral Educationâ€... A weak rural school that has been struggling has undergone dramatic changes.
We have asked the company to conduct a scientific test on the original basic learning ability of our first-year students. The results show that the total score of cognition is 45.05 points, which is 4.95 points lower than the norm average of 50 points. This gap has been reached. The statistically significant level indicates that the level of cognitive development of first-year students in our school is slightly behind that of the same-age students. In 2014, in the report of Cao Wang Primary School, the comprehensive evaluation of the green quality of academic quality in Shanghai's primary and secondary schools, the results of the “Study Achievement Standards Achievement Index†and “High Level Ability Index†of our students reached the regional average level, while “sleep†The “indexâ€, “job index†and “out-of-school supplementary index†are significantly higher than the regional average of 1 to 3 indices. "Shanghai Education" looks for the 2013 "Good School at Home" column with a special report on "Cao Wang Primary School: New Pastoral Education Sowing Children's Future". The media such as Wenhui Daily, Jiefang Daily, Shanghai TV Station and Shanghai Education TV Station introduced the practices and experiences of our school.
The “poverty reduction†and “transmutation†of Caowang Primary School in Jiading District benefited from the curriculum reform in the process of innovation laboratory construction. This may be the fulcrum of the school transformation that we have been looking for.
