Zhejiang: A village primary school principal's flip classroom experiment

"Students, let's learn the 'location and direction' together, the north, the south, the west, the west, the east, the direction on the map. As you can see from the picture, the school playground is on the west side of the library." March 27, In the math class of the third (5) class of Shiqiaotou Town Central Primary School in Wenling City, after the class teacher and principal Ma Haibin briefly gave the course tips, the student Ke Zizhen stood confidently on the podium and pointed at the computer screen. The classmates introduced how to distinguish the southeast and northwest on the map.

“Unlike traditional classroom teaching, the current classroom has become a stage for students to demonstrate their abilities. They have stood in the middle of the classroom, and teachers have become the guides and companions of student learning. This is the Internet-based Internet that I have been trying to explore for years. Technology flips classroom experiments." Ma Haibin told reporters.

Ma Haibin is a famous mathematician in Taizhou. In 2014, he came to the school from Shiqiaotou Town Central Primary School in the rural area from a school in the city. Ma Haibin found that there are not many backbone teachers in this rural school. Some older teachers are still accustomed to the traditional blackboard and chalk teaching format. The utilization rate of the multimedia teaching facilities equipped in the school is not high, and the teaching results are also at the lower-middle level of the whole city. . Ma Haibin made up his mind to inject new vitality into the rural school.

Teaching reform is a breakthrough, and everything begins with changing the teacher's educational and teaching philosophy. He led the whole school teachers to start the exploration of flipping the classroom, advocating the students' "learning after learning" and "learning to teach others" curriculum concept, and advocated that "only students who can learn and speak can be the students who will really learn."

Flipping the classroom is easier said than done, but the preparation before class is much more complicated than the traditional teaching. Teachers need to arrange the pre-testing assignments of the new class before the school, the students go home to complete the study, and after the correction on the second day, let the students explain in the class. . In the beginning, the school did not use the Internet technology platform. The teachers had to manually design the preview work, and rushed to complete the correction before the lecture, which was slow and inefficient. From the end of the last semester, Ma Haibin led the teachers to carry out the flipping classroom training based on Internet technology. Firstly, from the mathematics discipline that he taught, “test the water”, transplanted the platform of the WeChat public number, and pushed the micro-courses and exercises for the students. Homework, etc.

The flipping classroom under Internet technology means that teachers should learn new skills such as micro-class production and real-time evaluation. In the face of this new thing, the teachers were somewhat confused and even resisted. Ma Haibin took the lead in setting up a demonstration class and organized a teaching seminar every week to allow teachers to communicate and grow together. Lin Wenying, a sixth-grade math teacher who first tasted the sweetness, said: "I felt a little trouble at first, but after a few lessons, I found that such a class is good for a clear understanding of the students' academic situation."

The flipping classroom of “learning after teaching” requires students to have strong self-learning ability. In order to make up for the shortcomings of rural students' self-learning ability, Ma Haibin led the teachers to design a 5-minute micro-course, which was pushed to the parents' mobile phone. When the students were at home, they could watch it repeatedly if they didn’t understand. . However, in this rural school, most of the parents of the students go out to work all the year round. There is also a gap between the concept and the parents in the city. The parents have troubles in operation, and some worry that the teachers will not teach after the micro-class is pushed. Seeing that the elaborate micro-classes are difficult to land, Ma Haibin and the teachers can only do the parent's ideological work repeatedly and give them on-site operation. "To do one, install one first!" Later, the parents saw the advantages of the micro-class, and influenced each other, and they all actively requested to push the micro-course.

Nowadays, the flip classroom experiment has achieved good results in the mathematics discipline. The students have reflected that they can better internalize and absorb knowledge, and their ability to express, self-learning and self-confidence has also been enhanced. At present, this experiment is gradually implemented in other disciplines.
