Original title: It was found that the Ministry of Education requested the cessation of the “work of the parents”
In recent years, it is not uncommon for teachers to ask parents to correct their homework, which not only increases the burden on parents, but also intensifies conflicts between teachers and parents. On December 10, at a press conference given by the Ministry of Education, Yu Weiyue, deputy director of the Department of Basic Education, said that the Ministry of Education has always been determined to prevent the problem of turning students’ homework into homework. to the parents. In particular, behaviors that are expressly prohibited, such as assigning punitive homework, requiring parents to complete or correct homework, etc., were considered one and strictly addressed. The experts pointed out that family-school coeducation should clarify the limits of responsibility, and changing the “tactics of the sea” is the fundamental solution to the problem.
Strengthen work management in many places
“The Ministry of Education has always attached great importance to the issue of operations management. Zhongfa Document No. 26 and 30 Burden Reduction Articles have some clear requirements. At present, Liaoning, Shanxi, Changsha and others places have successively issued opinions on standardized operations management and obtained very good results, “Yu Weiyue said at the press conference.
Since 2018, the education departments of more than ten Chinese provinces, including Fujian, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Hainan, have reportedly issued relevant documents to “prevent” parents from correcting student work.
In December this year alone, Jinzhou, Liaoning, Xingtai, Hebei and other places successively introduced policies to strengthen the management of compulsory education schools and regulate the assignment and correction of homework for primary and secondary students. For example, the official website of the Hebei Province Xingtai City Education Bureau issued the “Notice of the Xingtai Education Bureau on the reaffirmation of the” 26 prohibitions “in running schools and teaching “, in which article 12 stipulates that teachers are prohibited from assigning homework to students and allow parents through WeChat and QQ groups. Please correct the assignment on your behalf.
Furthermore, the Department of Education of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region recently issued the “Notice on Strengthening Management of School Allocations in Compulsory Education”, which stipulates that parents should not be required to correct the teachers’ assignments or correcting mistakes in children’s homework, and parents should not be required to download and print assignments from the Internet. As for the teacher’s responsibilities, it also stipulates that the school should periodically check and count the total amount of homework for each grade and corrections, in order to improve the quality of homework assigned by the teacher.
Xiong Bingqi, dean of the 21st Century Educational Research Institute, said in an interview with a Beijing Business Daily reporter that various measures have been introduced to “prevent” parents from correcting students’ work, according to the “Central Committee and the CPC State Council for Deepening Education and Teaching Reform and Comprehensive Increase in Obligations “issued in 2019.” Opinions on the quality of education, “opinions are clear, do not convert the task of students on parental homework do not ask parents to check and correct homework, and punitive homework should not be assigned. Teachers must seriously correct assignments, strengthen face-to-face feedback, and provide timely feedback.
Clarify the boundary between home and school
“Homework correction should definitely be done by the teacher.” Xiaowu, a teacher who has worked in the education industry for six years, told a reporter for the Beijing Business Daily, “Because only when we check can we find out where these kids are wrong and then focus on to answer questions. It’s a question. professional attitudes of teachers. This phenomenon is increasing. It shows that some of the teachers on the teaching team are not of good quality and like to cheat. “
Zhang Jiayong, deputy director and associate researcher at the Comprehensive Research Department of the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education, noted in an interview with a Beijing Business Daily reporter that teachers should properly require parents to cooperate with school education as an objective necessity for family-school education. The general direction is correct, but there have been some deviations in the specific functioning of cooperative school-home education.
In the process of home-school coeducation, what tasks should parents assume? Zhang Zhiyong, executive dean of the China Educational Policy Research Institute at Beijing Normal University, emphasized that homework is an integral part of teacher training and teaching activities, not a matter of leaving the teaching activities of the curriculum and return to the category of family education.
“Family and school should clearly delineate homework and homework responsibilities. Be it a family or a parent, a good homework environment should be created for children and children should be able to complete homework consciously. Assign homework The responsibility for organizing children to complete homework and the responsibility for correcting homework are responsibilities of the school. The limits of these responsibilities should be clearly delineated, “said Zhang Zhiyong.
Zhang Jiayong also said, “Parents are very busy now, and the mixed education system between home and school is not perfect. It is difficult for parents to quit work and cooperate with the school at any time.” Feasibility and scientificity, do not impose too many unrealistic requirements for parents. Educational administrative departments must also refine and optimize relevant policies to improve the relevance and operability of the policies. “
While emphasizing that correcting homework is the responsibility of the teacher, Xiao Wu relied on another difficulty: “After the test, parents will ask the teacher ‘How is the child’s performance?’ Many parents only focus on the results, not the process. ” “The lower the grade, the less self-control a child can be, and the more he needs parents to accompany him. It is not to review homework, but it can help dictate, etc. If parents completely leave homework to the teacher, they feel that ‘I sent the kid to school, and they all belong. You can handle it, then it definitely won’t work out. “
In this regard, Yu Weiyue also appealed: “Not assigning homework to parents does not mean that parents do not have the responsibility of education when they deliver their children to school. Parents should also guide their children at home to develop a good habit of completing their homework independently and following school. Work closely to form a joint force to educate people. “
Changing “Ti Hai tactics” is essential
Asking parents to correct homework blurs the boundaries of home and school responsibilities. In Xiong Bingqi’s view, it is the “tactics of the sea” exam-oriented education that determines this phenomenon. In addition to the selective implementation of corresponding policies and measures in various regions, the atmosphere of the scores must be changed and a serious accountability mechanism established to hold sites and schools accountable for not implementing them.
On the one hand, parents complain that teachers assign tasks to themselves; on the other hand, it is the great workload of the teachers. Xiao Wu told a Beijing Business Daily reporter: “Teachers have always been under great pressure. Since I took three classes, there were more than 100 students and more than 100 assignments were required. There were three classes a day and assignments were they passed until the end of the course. After work, I have to bring homework for the remaining class to pass. I have to prepare the lessons in the evening, so I’m tired. “
According to Lu Yugang, Director of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education has issued 30 regulations on burden reduction, clarifying the responsibilities of schools, off-campus training institutions, families and the government, and the construction of a systematic load reduction system. During the period of the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”, the excessive academic load on students has been effectively alleviated.
The aforementioned new regulations of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region also stipulate that full practical homework should be reasonably arranged, and homework design should conform to the age characteristics of students, and students can independently complete them. , without increasing the burden on students and parents. And it is necessary to avoid the phenomenon of “reducing the load inside the school and increasing the load outside the school”.
Regarding future governance measures, Yu Weiyue revealed at the meeting that the Ministry of Education will improve the task allocation mechanism. Including the regular management of school assignments, the coordination of grades and classes, the teacher’s judgment and the face-to-face comment, the feedback mechanisms and the evaluation of the students. At the same time, strengthen daily supervision. For violations of relevant regulations, especially to organize punitive homework, require parents to complete or correct homework, etc., we find one thing and treat it strictly and effectively to ease the heavy school workload of students . A good educational ecology that promotes the integral development of the physical and mental health of students.
However, in the specific implementation of policies, supervision remains a difficult point. Zhang Jiayong said that it is very difficult to rely solely on the administrative department of education for standardization, full coverage and the absence of blind spots. If parents or students do not actively provide clues in time, this kind of undesirable phenomenon is difficult to find only by the administrative department of education, which requires parents AND students to bravely stand up and report the problem.
“Many parents and students are upset with the school’s practices, but in most cases they still choose to compromise, because they are concerned that it will have a very negative impact on their children. The education administration department should be very cautious in handling these problems and should not allow the family and the school. New contradictions have emerged in the relationship, “Zhang Jiayong said.
