I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine what it would be like to be taught by the current teacher as a "tour guide basic knowledge course". According to the past practice, the essence of this course is "reciting". With a picture in the textbook, students can "imagine" what a scenic spot should look like and its internal structure according to the textbook knowledge.
However, in the course of tourism service and management in Shanghai Business Tourism School, this "tour guide basic knowledge course" has taken on a new twist. Students can demonstrate by computer three-dimensional animation, and at the same time introduce Shanghai World Financial Center to the audience, which may not even be the "little guide" himself, just like "real".
This is a "deep" reform of vocational education. According to the Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Accelerating the Informatization Development of Vocational Education, by 20 15, vocational colleges will be equipped with adequate and applicable computers and their supporting equipment and facilities; 90% of vocational colleges have built a campus network with smooth operation and complete functions, and information technology can support various applications such as school education, teaching, management and scientific research. 85% of vocational colleges have built digital campuses according to standards; 90% adult schools and other vocational training institutions have broadband access; Other schools can build satellite data ground receiving stations; Vocational schools in remote mountainous areas and poverty-stricken areas have built digital resource broadcasting platforms.
This "tour guide basic knowledge course" of Shanghai Business Tourism School has actually exceeded the basic requirements of vocational education informationization and entered the era of "smart classroom".
According to Song Lingjie, the teacher of this class, she used the CTC online interactive document sharing platform all the time, from the initial selection of scenic spots, the determination of learning goals, to the final software self-study and online testing, all on an Ipad.
At first, the students selected1from three landmarks in Shanghai by unified counting. Then download the lesson plan book by yourself and study by yourself according to the teacher's clear teaching task; In the learning process, students can upload their own learning materials, and teachers can also update the uploaded materials, determine the learning focus and share their learning experiences. Finally, a three-dimensional animated version of the World Financial Center "moved" the real scene of tour guide work into the classroom, allowing students to complete the online test.
Song Lingjie especially recommended this kind of "online test" because it is the type of "after the event 100". "If you feel dissatisfied after taking the exam once, you can review it again and take the exam again".
The application of information technology enlivens the classroom and effectively improves the learning efficiency. But the problem is that this fashionable and interesting "smart classroom" was not very popular with the presidents of vocational colleges in the past.
Jiang Xingcheng, a teacher of Yunxi Vocational and Technical School in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, once refuted that "the informationization of vocational education is deviating from the right direction" in the form of public papers. He said that although most vocational colleges have established multimedia hardware, the linear characteristics of teaching structure are obvious in classroom teaching. "Teachers are the center, with one-way communication among teachers as the mainstay. In most cases, students passively receive information disseminated by teachers in the form of information dissemination, and the autonomy of learning is difficult to reflect. "
At the same time, information technology "sounds beautiful", but in fact it is not fully integrated with the curriculum. Jiang Xingcheng said: "In vocational and technical education and teaching, the application of information technology is the core of education and teaching, and it is also the key and difficult point in the process of promoting educational informatization in China;" However, in the process of teaching practice, many teachers have misunderstandings about the mechanical and blind operation in information teaching and practice. "
In short, even teachers in some vocational colleges are not very good at using information-based teaching methods.
On September 1 day, Li Xiaohua, president of Shanghai Business Tourism School, presented a series of scenes in which information products were applied to the classroom at the seminar "Teachers and Innovation in Informationization Classroom Teaching in Higher Vocational Colleges" sponsored by Shanghai Xinpengcheng Information Technology Company and Shanghai Business Tourism School. In addition to the "basic knowledge of tour guides", there are boring math classes and secretarial English classes in the workplace, all of which adopt the means of "specially customized" information courses.
Li Xiaohua told reporters that he began to explore the introduction of "whiteboard" to replace the traditional "blackboard" in vocational education in 2007, and now the school has entered the stage of using "interactive whiteboard". "There are different opinions on informatization. You can ask for a perfect classroom to make teaching lively. You can also put students in the classroom to listen to your sermon, depending on what you pursue. "
Li Xiaohua claimed that his greatest feature was "ideological emancipation". He once suggested that school teachers use mobile phones instead of Ipad in class. However, teachers have different views on this. "Will students be distracted by using mobile phones? Will you do something else with your mobile phone? " Li Xiaohua smiled and asked, "The Education Committee has a meeting, and the principal can watch the mobile phone below; The headmaster has a meeting, and the teacher can watch the mobile phone below; Why can't students watch mobile phones when the teacher is in class? "
He believes that the future of vocational education must be "informationized". Because "informatization" itself can best express the application characteristics of "vocational education". "In modern society, if you want to put students in the classroom to preach, it is not impossible, but now students are not like before, they will choose their favorite courses."
Li Xiaohua even set up a "smart classroom" in the school. In this classroom, students can take classes lying down or lying down with mobile terminals. "You let students listen to a boring teacher every day, and sometimes they get bored, don't you? How much can he really listen to such a class? "
On September 17, the Information Office of Gansu Provincial Government held a press conference on "Implementation Opinions of Gansu Provincial People's Government on Accelerating the Process of Well-off Society for Disabled People" (hereinafter referred to as "Implementation Opinions"). The "Implementation Opinions" attaches great importance to the education of the disabled, and requires "zero rejection" for disabled candidates whose college entrance examination results meet the admission conditions.
At present, there are 1, 876,5438+0,000 disabled people in the province, of which 550,000 disabled people in rural areas have not been lifted out of poverty, and 200,000 disabled people in urban areas are living in difficulties. There is still a big gap between the per capita income of disabled families and the average social level. The "Implementation Opinions" put forward clear requirements for accelerating the process of well-off for disabled people in our province, which is divided into six parts and 37 specific contents, covering rehabilitation, education, employment, poverty alleviation, social security, culture and sports, rights protection, barrier-free construction, public services and other fields. The four basic principles to be adhered to and the main tasks to be achieved in accelerating the process of well-off for the disabled are clarified, so as to ensure that by 2020, the disabled and the people of the whole province will step into a well-off society simultaneously.
