5. Construct a practical research model for junior high school biological experiment innovation, display and exchange excellent research experiences, and accumulate materials at the same time. A working meeting on this topic was held on April 30, 20xx, mainly to discuss the construction of practical research models for junior high school biological experiment innovation, and achieved good results.
3. Main experiences and practices
1. Focus on stimulating innovation and strengthen experimental innovation operation practices. On the one hand, we actively encouraged the innovative practice of junior high school biological experiments in terms of experimental equipment, materials and methods, and carried out practice and summary. The students improved their biology learning interest and experimental innovation ability, formed small ideas, small papers and small summaries, and made small productions, small inventions and small creations. On the other hand, it attaches great importance to strengthening various forms of innovative activities and scientific and technological practice. For example, on May 16, 20xx, a comparative experiment and questionnaire survey were conducted on this research topic, and experimental analysis was conducted.
It also actively organizes and guides student science and technology activities. Among them, the innovative project "Automatic Manure Flushing Device for Timing and Quantitative Pig Houses" guided by XXXXXX won the third prize in the city.
2. Meet the school’s requirements and serve to improve the quality of education and teaching. Project research should and can be combined with school requirements, and project research must and can serve to improve the quality of education and teaching. The project implementation process can be effectively combined with the school's requirements. For example, when arranging the project work, it is consistent with the school work plan, and the project research results can be effectively used to improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching. In the second half of 20xx, our school put forward higher teaching quality goals, requiring classroom teaching to fully mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative. To this end, our research team proposed: Except for Chapter 7 and Chapter 14, each chapter's teaching should achieve at least Two of the following items: ① Use of self-made teaching aids; ② Innovation in experimental materials or methods; ③ Innovation in activities. At the same time, the school clearly requires students to be active for no less than fifteen minutes during classroom teaching and focuses on cultivating students’ innovative abilities. For this reason, our research team actively advocates: combining self-made teaching aids and innovative experiments in biology classroom teaching, and contacting local production and life realities or students Introduce new courses and teach new knowledge based on your own reality; assign written assignments in conjunction with local production and life realities or students' own actual conditions, or assign necessary extracurricular student experiments and self-made teaching aids. On March 20-21, 20xx, teacher XXX, a member of our group, actively participated in the Municipal Biology Teacher Teaching Skills Competition and won the municipal first prize in the teaching design competition; On March 27, 20xx, teacher XXX, a member of our group, actively participated County biology teacher teaching skills competition, and won the county first prize in the teaching design competition: members of our group applied what they learned, worked hard to innovate classroom experiments, and effectively combined topic research with improving teaching quality.
3. Combine with local reality to enhance the operability of project implementation. When implementing the project, we should not avoid the real situation and seek the distant, but should be grounded and popular. To be more specific, we should combine the local natural landscape, humanistic environment, industrial and agricultural production practices, and even the school, family and social microclimate where the students live. environment to proceed. First, when implementing the "Practical Research on Innovation of Biological Experiments in Junior High Schools", we mainly carried out experimental innovations from the aspects of experimental equipment innovation, material and method innovation, etc., but in each aspect of innovation we focused on integrating the actual production and life conditions of the local area. Secondly, our school is a day school, and our research team also pays attention to integrating this reality. As mentioned before, we will assign necessary extracurricular student experiments and homemade teaching aids, such as "Making Leaf Vein Bookmarks", "Homemade Pickles" and "Observe branch nodules." Outside class and at home, students use washing powder instead of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide to make leaf vein bookmarks, pickle their own ginger instead of the ingredients required in the textbook and make "homemade pickles" with complicated procedures, and use common local red pepper branches. It can replace the branch nodules that take one or two months to form after peeling off a circle of bark. The experiment is simple and easy to perform and has good results. Third, focus on exploring the favorable factors formed by the city's famous teachers, city and county advanced and patent experts in the group, focus on giving full play to the power of role models in the group, and effectively implement the work of "passing on, helping and leading".
4. Seize relevant opportunities and expand the results of the subject research. The implementation of the project should be combined with relevant subject activities and teacher-student competitions, seize relevant opportunities, use subject activities to promote the development of the project, use relevant competitions to produce project results, and at the same time, use the results achieved in subject activities and related competitions to promote the implementation of the project . These opportunities related to topic research mainly fall into the following three categories:
(1) Activities related to county and city biology teaching and research;
(2) Competitions with various students Relevant activities;
(3) Competitions for teachers’ works and skills at all levels.
IV. Points to be improved
1. Students’ innovation in junior high school biological experiments needs to be further deepened and the level can be further improved.
2. It needs to be strengthened in cultivating students’ bold innovative practical spirit and down-to-earth and rigorous style of study and in seeking school support for the activities of interest groups in this subject.
3. Efforts should be made to encourage the school to practice the mass line, act in accordance with rules and regulations, consider the development of the school, and provide necessary financial support to the research team. In particular, necessary encouragement should be given to scientific and technological innovation talents in accordance with regulations.
