Student mobile phone management is also a difficult problem for educators. “
According to Lu Yunquan, principal of Beijing 101 High School, smartphones are more than just communication tools. They have all kinds of functions, like browsing the internet, games, and social interactions. The self-control capacity of young people is still gradually improving. Some students with little self-control are easy to control: indulging, wasting time, impairing learning, impairing eyesight, sapping concentration, and even exposing themselves to misinformation like violence and pornography.
According to Zhang Hengzhu, it has become a global consensus to control the use of mobile phones by elementary and middle school students in schools. Italy, France, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and other countries have passed laws or other ways to expressly prohibit students from bringing mobile phones onto campuses or classrooms. Some stipulate that students may only use cell phones under the direction of teachers and parents. The following students sell cell phones.
Status: Some schools have adopted classified management measures
Yang Ran (pseudonym), a high school teacher in Fengtai District, Beijing, told reporters that as a principal, she often communicates with parents: “It is recommended that children do not bring their mobile phones to school. However, there are some special circumstances, such as children who are far from home and parents are afraid to leave school. When they cannot communicate with their children when they return home, they will be allowed to bring their mobile phones. ”If students bring their mobile phones to the school, Yang Ran will ask them to hand over their phones for the unified administration.He also bought a lockable box specifically to store the mobile phones.
The “Notice” issued by the Ministry of Education this time has established the corresponding requirements on this issue: in principle, primary and secondary students cannot bring personal mobile phones to campus. If there is a real need, a written request must be obtained with parental consent. After entering the school, the school must put the mobile phone away and bringing it into the classroom is prohibited.
“Generally speaking, it is not recommended that primary school students bring mobile phones to school …” said Wang Dianjun, principal of the Tsinghua University-affiliated secondary school. Parent contacts can be made when needed and alarm functions in case of emergency. by ordinary telephone watches. In his opinion, middle and high schools can allow students to bring mobile phones to school, but it is not advisable to bring too many expensive mobile phones, and it is necessary to strengthen the unified management.
Guangzhou Zhixin High School distinguishes between “smart phones” and “non-smart phones” in managing students’ mobile phones. The school principal, He Yong, told reporters that the school does not allow high school students to bring mobile phones to school. In fact, it is necessary. Upon parental request, the school agrees to bring non-smart phones. high school students, it is recommended to bring non-smart phones. Schools must register first. Cell phones are delivered to the class for centralized storage during class. These regulations are formulated by the student council, ”He Yong said.
Wang Dianjun emphasized that allowing students to bring mobile phones does not mean that there are no restrictions and administration on the use of mobile phones. The school must clearly stipulate when and when not to use mobile phones, and students must also be able to understand the occasions of using mobile phones. “Schools must clearly inform each teacher and each student of the requirements for managing cell phone use, and then monitor each other by teachers and students to help students develop good habits.”
Discussion: Is it “one size fits all” to disable cell phone assignments?
“Currently, children’s homework is assigned in the APP. Every day when they come home from school, they use their mobile phones, tablets or computers to complete various check-ins and upload homework. It is really necessary to reduce the allocation of electronic products … “The reporter pointed out, more than one parent made a similar request.
In addition to parents, many teachers also said, “We support not using cell phones to assign homework. As a teacher, I don’t want to change hundreds of assignments on my cell phone.
In response to this issue, the Ministry of Education specifically emphasized in the “Notice”: “Strengthen classroom teaching and homework management, and do not use mobile phones to assign homework or require students to use mobile phones to complete Tasks”.
However, in actual teaching, if the ban on cell phone assignments is “one-size-fits-all,” what circumstances are illegal, and what circumstances are auxiliary teaching. Some front-line teachers are still confused about the red line limit of the homework.
“Currently, English subjects are assessed by computer. Some students will complete follow-up reading and listening tasks through mobile phone software; some school questionnaires and learning videos are also distributed via the Internet; sometimes, the Class representatives will send teacher assignments to class group for convenience Students review, some students want to copy and review electronic course material used by teacher in class … Yang Ran does not know, according to requirements of the “Notice”, are these situations considered violations?
Yang Ran said frankly: “The mobile phone is just a tool and a support. It is important to see what students do with this tool. During the epidemic, many schools will allow students to submit homework through small programs. It is also questionable. block this approach across the board. “
An elementary school principal in Haidian District, Beijing, who declined to be named, said it is better to assign homework on paper when teaching activities are offline. At the same time, he also believes that “we must divide the scene, not across the board.”
Yan Wengui, principal of Phoenix Elementary School in Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, told reporters that during the epidemic, schools generally organize homework online and submit it via mobile phones or other electronic products during online learning. However, he defended that students should try to do their homework on paper as much as possible, in addition, teachers should not assign homework that should be done with electronic products as much as possible.
According to Xu Hua, principal of Luhe High School in Tongzhou District, Beijing, learning activities at the school are offline and assistance by mobile phone is of little use. “Protecting students ‘eyesight, allowing students to concentrate on their studies, preventing Internet and gaming addiction, and promoting students’ physical and mental health are key points. Mobile phones are just a tool that has no flaws in itself, mainly because of bad habits of use and various data ‘harmful and useless’ for the health of students. Growth is not good. “
