How about special education in Quanzhou Normal University?

Quanzhou Net: Quanzhou Teachers College will train the first batch of special education undergraduates in Fujian. Time: 2006-11-0801:05 Source: 06045 Click: Second Author: Chen Liping Yao Binghui 2006-3-20 This year, Quanzhou Teachers College will recruit 30 special education graduates for the whole province. "Special education major is listed as a school-running feature by our school." Huang Weimin, dean of the School of Education Science of Quanzhou Normal University, said that only teachers' colleges in the province have this major, which is also the only training base for special education teachers in the province. 1988, our province decided to set up a special education major in Quanzhou Normal University and began to recruit students, which was at the secondary school level at that time; After 200 1 year, this major recruits "higher vocational single-recruit" candidates; In 2004, it was changed to ordinary high school enrollment, and it is still a junior college; Stop recruiting for one year in 2005; This year, the special education major recruits undergraduates for the whole province, and plans to recruit 30 students. According to reports, although the specialty of special education has undergone several changes, teachers' colleges still insist on "expanding and improving the scale, level and efficiency of special education" in order to "turn the specialty of special education in teachers' colleges into the center of teaching, scientific research, information and teacher training of special education in Fujian Province". The orientation of special education specialty in Quanzhou Teachers College is to train teachers for special schools in the province, serve special people (deaf, dumb, blind and other disabled people) and be responsible for the continuing education of special education teachers. At present, the teachers of this major in Teachers College are relatively mature, and they have established contacts with special education majors in special schools in the province and universities outside the province. Teachers' College has established a hearing test and rehabilitation laboratory, and is now preparing to build a sensory integration laboratory. "It should be said that in recent years, special education has gradually received attention, social awareness has increased, and investment in special education has also increased. Although we face some difficulties, our special education major has been developing continuously. " Dean Huang said. In addition, according to a statistical data provided by the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, there are currently 254,000 disabled people in Quanzhou. Therefore, the relevant parties call for the education of the disabled to receive the attention and support of the whole society, and also need a professional team of special education teachers. In-depth analysis: Special love has a special problem (1): the number of students enrolled has dropped because of the consideration of students' future employment. (2) The special education major of Quanzhou Teachers College originally planned to enroll 50 students this year, but later it was reduced to 30 students. Why? Dean Huang of the School of Education Science of Teachers College said that one of the reasons for reducing enrollment is that schools must consider students' future employment. According to reports, after graduation, some students majoring in special education trained by teachers' colleges enter ordinary primary schools, some go to private welfare and charity schools and institutions for employment, and of course some students engage in non-normal industries, which is one of the "difficulties" faced by the development of special education majors. "Special schools are basically full or overstaffed, which makes it impossible for these truly professionally trained students to go to work. There is another very important phenomenon. People seem to be used to helping disabled people and individuals directly face to face. Many people don't realize their investment in special education and their help to special people in the whole society. " Dean Huang believes that it is necessary to train special education professionals. Students learning sign language, Braille and behavior correction can better help deaf-blind children grow up healthily, let them receive education, pay full attention to the healthy growth of disabled children and make the society develop harmoniously. (2) Thinking: Setting up special schools is not the best way to solve special education. Zeng Yaru, vice president of the School of Education Science of Quanzhou Teachers College, believes that according to the consistent thinking, we used to advocate giving more care to these children, sending them to special education schools, mastering self-care ability, and learning some communication skills or means of making a living, so that they can better integrate into society. She said that specialized schools have played a very important role in solving the education problems of disabled children, but this is mainly from the medical point of view of education, to see what problems they have and the degree of obstacles, and then to carry out corresponding "treatment"; However, from a sociological point of view, it is not appropriate to lock disabled children in special education schools, because these children still have to contact the society when they grow up. When they enter a complex big society from an isolated small world, they will face many problems in interpersonal relationship, cooperation and communication. "In recent years, disabled children have attracted more and more attention from the society. Setting up special education schools is not the best way to solve special education. " Vice President Zeng said. She introduced that at present, the internationally recognized "learning in regular classes" advocates that children with mild disabilities should be included in ordinary schools and receive general education together as appropriate, so as to promote students' enthusiasm for participating in learning and activities and reduce and avoid exclusion. In this case, disabled children attend classes and play with other children. In addition to the teachers who give lectures, there are also several teachers who coach disabled children. Tutors receive formal training before lectures. Faced with such a development trend, teachers' colleges have thought about the curriculum. Primary school undergraduate education students should complete 10 credits of special education courses from grade 2003; At the same time, students majoring in special education should also learn the basic professional knowledge of primary education. "We hope that students majoring in primary education will have certain skills and mentality in the future and be able to accommodate special children who study in regular classes. We also hope that our special education students can engage in primary education and enter primary schools in addition to deeper professional skills. Only in this way can education be made more exquisite. " Vice President Zeng said. (3) Data: 90% of children with disabilities attend school and encourage them to study in ordinary schools. From March 16 to March 17, Quanzhou Education Bureau is conducting a routine inspection of the city's special education schools. The head of the preschool education department of the Municipal Education Bureau accepted an interview with the reporter. Special education is an important part of nine-year compulsory education. At present, there are 10 special education schools in Quanzhou. In 2005, the city enrolled three kinds of disabled children (children with visual, hearing and intellectual disabilities) freshmen 1405 in the compulsory education stage, and 9,650 students with three kinds of disabled children in the compulsory education stage, including students with regular classes, regular classes and special education students. The enrollment rate of school-age children with three types of disabilities in the city is 92.8%. According to the analysis, it is the contradiction between the existing problems and the establishment of special education schools that students who graduated from special education majors can't get in: with the implementation of the family planning policy, especially the realization of prenatal and postnatal care, the number of blind and deaf students in our city has decreased year by year, and the number of students has decreased; Special education teachers are mostly young. "Jinjiang currently has five cram schools in ordinary primary schools to recruit special students by district. This is mainly considered from the convenience and economy of parents. It is convenient for parents to pick up and drop off their children, and children do not have to board. " According to the person in charge of the preschool education department of Quanzhou Education Bureau, the teaching business of remedial classes is managed by both primary schools and Jinjiang special schools, so that special children can study in the same class, which can make them have more contact with the society and improve their self-care ability and ability to deal with others. Teachers and students in the school also take care of such students. "The education of autistic children often has to be one-on-one. Because of its particularity, there is no such teachers and investment to run schools at present. Some parents spontaneously run schools for their children to receive education. " The person in charge said that children with disabilities are encouraged to enter ordinary schools to study in regular classes without affecting the learning of most children and children with disabilities can adapt. Cheng Chunlan was admitted to Quanzhou Teachers College as a special education major with 1999. When she graduated from secondary school in 2002, she returned to her hometown in Datian, Sanming. "There are no special education schools in Daejeon. Although there are special education classes, there are already teachers. My older brothers and sisters who are one level ahead of me have all entered ordinary primary schools as formal teachers. I missed the trip and became a substitute teacher. " At the beginning of 2004, parents of autistic children Xiao A heard that Quanzhou Teachers College had a special education major, so they contacted the school, hoping to find a graduate of this major to tutor Xiao A, and Chunlan accepted the job. Chunlan quit her job as a tutor at the end of 2005, and Xiaoa has already gone to kindergarten. Xiaoa's mother has also become a "professional" in the process of getting in touch with autism-related knowledge. Today, Chunlan, who holds a teacher qualification certificate, works as a Chinese teacher in a primary school in Jinjiang. "I also want to go back to the special education school. After all, I majored in this major. After contacting the disabled and some autistic children who need help in society, I think it is necessary for our special education major to recruit undergraduates, so that it can develop from a deep and professional perspective and help those in need. " Teacher Cai graduated from special education last year, but instead of being a special education teacher for a day, she became a middle school psychological counseling teacher. He believes that people engaged in special education have to face two practical problems: low pay and social recognition, which leads to a shortage of talents engaged in special education. Restricted by the level of economic development, the development of special education lacks humanistic care, and the system of welfare institutions is imperfect and full of difficulties. (4) Voice: The major is our own choice. "We will stick to the front line of special education." Eight students majoring in special education in Quanzhou Teachers College are practicing in Quanzhou Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled. What do they think of their major when they are about to get employed? Chen Guifeng: After graduation, they will be engaged in the special education industry. The department attaches great importance to students' teaching practice and often arranges us to do internships. Every internship has a deep feeling and deepened my desire to engage in special education. W: I want to recruit undergraduates in the department. I feel a little sorry that I didn't catch up with the good times. If I study in a few years, I will have the opportunity to study undergraduate. Now that I have graduated from junior college, I have great employment pressure, but I also have motivation. You will find a job related to your major, and so will private institutions. As long as you can exercise your ability, after all, this is your first choice. Lin Yanyan and Zheng Chuanye: I think undergraduate education is necessary, and teachers, especially special education teachers, are a profession that needs a lot of talents. Although my job has not been decided yet, and the public establishment is mostly full, there are many private schools at present. For example, there are many private autism treatment centers in Fuzhou, and there are still many employment opportunities. Zhan Yanyan and Jiang Yan: In the future, I will be engaged in the special education industry, and I feel that all aspects need to be improved, which will help children. As for employment, I may go to the autism medical rehabilitation center. Although the employment pressure is great, the one that suits me will definitely go. Lin Yanyan and Wen: I chose this major myself at the beginning, and the employment unit has not yet been decided. I remember the first day of college, the teacher told us that as a special education teacher, we need "five hearts", namely: love, patience, perseverance, carefulness and self-confidence. I think I will work hard in this direction.
