Please provide several cases of liberal arts education.

Paradise-like West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River. The source of life there is very long, longer than trees, younger than mountains and growing like a breeze. Country road, take me home, that's where I belong. West Virginia, mother-like mountains, country roads, take me home. )

Four years ago, I came to Peking University listening to this song. Before graduation, I also sang this song at the railway station, and everyone went their separate ways. Four years is really a blink of an eye, from the peasant children who just entered the school gate to becoming authentic Americans after graduation. This change of identity has not made me forget the local flavor, especially in America. Attachment to hometown and land is a traditional and lasting theme in country music. They always regard lumberjacks, miners, railway workers and farming as the most respected occupations, which they believe symbolize the values of American self-struggle and positive spirit. In America, when I talk about my hometown, those American friends simply envy me to death; When they knew that I was from Peking University, that admiration turned into a compliment. Peking University and my hometown once had a quality: tolerance and freedom of thought.

When it comes to this quality, Boyata comes to mind first, because this is the totem of Peking University's spiritual quality, and only he is qualified to testify for us.

The century-old school has written a century-old history in the storm, and the plaque of type has been washed away in the sharpening, symbolizing a pure land of spiritual home, an academic altar, the passionate years of a generation of young talents, and the broadness and elegance of Peking University, and so on.

The teachers of Peking University, whom we used to call Mr. Wang, all have the heart of a saint, and their knowledge is as calm as an unnamed lake. Gentlemen of the Chinese Department can talk about the laws of the universe, gentlemen of the Law Department can give an archaeological lecture, teachers of the School of Economics can tell you about the fun of traveling, gentlemen of the Chemistry Department can write good poems, and gentlemen of the Biology Department can play chess with you day by day. This is the person we admire. They all have the same home, decorated with books. It's beautiful. Walking into Mr. Wang's home is like falling into a nameless lake. Try to absorb what you can digest. Peking University's teachers are very poor in materials. If measured by the scale of economic value, their contribution and income are out of proportion, but the fun and joy of educating people are incomparable. You are so happy to listen to the speeches of those old gentlemen in the university. The essence they have accumulated for decades is recorded in your notes, which will benefit you for life. After four years in college, I was really curious and absorbed all kinds of knowledge. I have eight notebooks, which is really a lifetime treasure. I remember teacher Ji's speech. The students only left him a place as big as a square, and all the people were so orderly. Listen, you can imagine the skills that this old man with only one square inch needs!

The students in Peking University are excellent, and the boys and girls in Peking University are a very balanced group. Because there are beautiful girls, handsome and talented boys, ugly girls and ugly men, we are naturally deployed in this campus. I have always thought that the boys in Peking University are the highest quality in the national colleges and universities, because the "Feng Shui" there is more suitable for the growth of men. The boys in Peking University are more delicate and polite. They seldom talk more than girls, but behind their passion, they have greater responsibilities, so their silence is also a rare style. The boys in Peking University are not showing weakness or dismissing it, but expecting a volcanic eruption. It is a kind of happiness to find a boy from Peking University, but on one condition, he must be able to enter his broad and far-reaching heart. The girls in Peking University are all very talented, whether in science or liberal arts, but now they have a feminine taste, which is the pain of moaning without illness. It is said that girls in Peking University are very arrogant. I think they should be more arrogant. Women are born noble. Coupled with wisdom and language, this is a beautiful thing that God has given to women. It would be perfect if the girls in Peking University were not so delicate.

Cai Yuanpei, the old headmaster, said: "A great scholar includes many family ceremonies and schools." Lu Xun said: "Peking University is constantly reforming". This is a state of Peking University: broad and inclusive, just like our land, we reap what we plant. I like that land, and I prefer Peking University. The old gentlemen of Peking University are all personable, the students are all first-class talents, the campus is so beautiful, the fresh wind blows from time to time, and the bell of Boya Tower rings slowly. How can I not miss this atmosphere and this scene?

Boya Tower is the only building in Peking University campus. It is simple and heavy, setting off the spirituality of the unnamed lake, guarding the tranquility of the campus, listening to the voice in front and overlooking the future of Peking University. Because this tower, as if Peking University is always new, always young, always actively catching up, the pagoda will not fall, and the spirit of Peking University will not fade.

I want to go back to my hometown, see my Peking University, see my hometown and see my parents. Come on, joining Peking University is like going back to your hometown. The air in that place is fresh, and that place always makes you tearful and passionate.

Humanistic Spirit in The Road Home

The drums of reform and the spring breeze of curriculum reform. Under the direct leadership and guidance of the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Institute of Education, and with the joint efforts of all teachers, our school thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of "the State Council's Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education" and "Outline of Basic Education Curriculum Reform" (for Trial Implementation), and formulated the "Jinjiting Middle School Curriculum Reform Implementation Plan" according to the experimental plan of Xiamen National Basic Education Curriculum Reform Experimental Zone and the relevant requirements of the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Institute of Education. Organize the implementation with a high sense of responsibility and a rigorous scientific attitude, and strive to build an open and dynamic education and teaching system with ideology and morality as the core, focusing on cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability, and building a quality education evaluation system as the guarantee.

First, change ideas, conduct in-depth research, and fully implement the experimental program of curriculum reform.

As soon as the experimental work of curriculum reform was started, our school set up an experimental leading group headed by President Zheng Xunlong, which consisted of a curriculum reform office, a discipline guidance group and a school-based curriculum development group to fully deploy the experimental work of curriculum reform in our school. During the experiment, members of the leading group went deep into the front line of teaching, investigated and found problems, discussed and explored with teachers, and focused on solving the following three problems.

L, the contradiction between the traditional teaching concept and the new curriculum reform concept

Curriculum reform contains a brand-new concept of quality education, which embodies the distinctive characteristics of the times. On the basis of long-term use of old textbooks in the past, some teachers have accumulated rich and skilled knowledge teaching basic skills and formed their own set of teaching ideas and teaching models. Faced with the new textbooks, they are quite unsuitable in the handling of teaching methods. A commentator's article in People's Daily pointed out: "To achieve real success, it is far from enough to only emphasize curriculum reform and textbook updating. It is also necessary to change the teaching behavior of teachers and the learning style of students, and even the concept of education for all needs to be changed. " It is clearly pointed out that the key to curriculum reform is to truly transform the ideas of quality education and advanced teaching concepts into practical teaching behaviors. We fully realize that it is urgent to change the concept of education, attach importance to the training of all staff, fully realize the importance and urgency of theoretical learning, adhere to school-based training, and have organized the following forms of learning:

(1) Organize relevant teachers to participate in the general education training in winter and summer vacations organized by the Municipal Education Commission, and each teacher can learn something by writing an article on the experience of curriculum reform training. The teaching department compiled these experiences into a book.

(2) Do a good job in school-based training. Organize all teachers to study the curriculum reform documents such as "the State Council's Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education" and "Outline of Basic Education Curriculum Reform (Trial)", and watch some summer general education training CDs every Wednesday during teachers' political study.

(3) Organize the teachers who undertake the experimental subjects of curriculum reform to seriously study the new curriculum standards and new textbooks, deeply understand the concept of curriculum reform, guide classroom teaching, and require everyone to write an experience and a case every month.

(4) School leaders, directors of relevant offices and teachers of curriculum reform have successively participated in expert reports and innovation seminars organized by the Municipal Education Commission.

(5) The school purchased a lot of books and audio-visual materials about the teaching theory of curriculum reform, increased equipment investment and improved modern teaching methods.

(6) Inviting Yi Hua, Assistant Dean of the Municipal Institute of Education, to give an academic report: an introduction to the basic situation of the curriculum reform of basic education in China; Tan Zuo, director of the Municipal Institute of Education, gave an academic report: "Several Problems in Writing Educational Research Papers"; Hu Shengli of the Municipal Institute of Education gave an academic report: Constructivism Learning Theory and Teaching Design.

(7) Organize teaching observation and discussion activities, and implement the lesson preparation and discussion mode of "collective lesson preparation, resource sharing, personal addition and subtraction, and after-class reflection" to learn from each other and improve together.

Through the various forms and rich contents of the above-mentioned study, all teachers fully realize the importance and necessity of the new round of basic education reform, enhance the sense of responsibility and urgency of the curriculum reform experiment, guide the education and teaching work with the concept of the new curriculum, gradually improve their understanding and adaptability to the new curriculum, and lay the necessary theoretical foundation for the implementation and rolling promotion of the curriculum reform experiment in the future.

2. The contradiction between more textbooks, more student activities and less class hours.

Compared with the old and new textbooks, some old contents are deleted, new modern knowledge is added, students are encouraged to explore independently and experience the process of knowledge formation, and there are many activities, which highlight the shortage of teaching hours. This contradiction has become a prominent problem in curriculum reform. How can we solve this contradiction?

(1) School leaders go deep into the front line of teaching, discuss the national curriculum standards with teachers, understand the requirements for compiling new textbooks, and encourage teachers in curriculum reform to boldly use new ideas and methods to deal with textbooks. Without increasing the class hours, all the teaching tasks have been successfully completed.

(2) Increase investment in modern educational technology and equipment, and utilize educational resources through multiple channels. In terms of teaching hardware, multimedia teaching methods have entered the classroom, and multimedia teaching equipment has been added to the existing classroom and three science, chemistry and biology laboratories; Open campus network and broadband network to broaden the channels for teachers and students to obtain educational resources.

(3) Make full use of the existing teaching equipment in our school, encourage teachers to make their own teaching courseware, slides, models and teaching AIDS, improve small experiments, increase classroom teaching capacity, pay attention to quality for 40 minutes, and improve classroom teaching effect.

(4) According to different subjects and different teaching contents, different teaching methods, such as case investigation in biology, are adopted to expand students' knowledge and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems; In the geography problem-based learning method, teachers increase or decrease new textbooks, design some questions, organize students to discuss, and guide students according to their difficult problems, so that students can become the main body of the classroom; The activities and inquiry of history discipline are learning activities in or after class, including group discussion, small games, story meetings, small production, picture analysis, hands-on operation and so on.

(5) Optimize the process of classroom teaching, and take improving the efficiency of classroom teaching and promoting the change of students' learning style as the focus of teaching research. The research activities of teaching and research groups in various disciplines are held once a week, with lectures given by specific people and unit discussions.

(6) Encourage teachers to write a summary of curriculum reform and exchange ideas in the school-run publication Window of Teaching and Research.

3. The contradiction between the teaching of basic knowledge and the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability.

"Decision of the State Council Central Committee on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way" points out: "Continue to attach importance to the teaching of basic knowledge and skills, and pay attention to the cultivation of emotions, attitudes and values." In view of the widespread situation that teachers pay close attention to basic knowledge teaching and pay insufficient attention to cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability in classroom teaching, we have taken several measures: First, teachers are required to change teaching methods, carry out cooperative learning, change "teacher-centered" into "student-centered", return classroom time and space to students, let students learn independently and encourage students to put forward different opinions. Second, after class, students should be given some small experiments, small works, small surveys and small observations to guide them to read or search for information related to the theme on the Internet. Third, introduce the history of scientific development to students by using activity classes and guide them by scientific methods. Reading rooms, laboratories, and computer rooms are open to students, and students' ability to acquire knowledge, process information, and practice is cultivated. Fourth, encourage students to find problems from society and life, and put forward their own solutions or ideas, write reports, and teachers give guidance.

Two, practice hard, actively explore, comprehensively interpret and verify the new standards and new teaching materials.

In September, 20001year, six subjects of history, geography, health, physical education, music and aesthetic education in our school took the lead in starting the curriculum reform experiment. Among them, history and biology are the subject base schools in Xiamen National Curriculum Reform Experimental Zone, and began to roll into other subjects in September 2002. We believe that it is the key for teachers who undertake the task of curriculum reform to change their teaching concepts and actively explore classroom teaching methods. Since the start of curriculum reform, we have carried out the following types of school-level observation and discussion activities: (1) observation and discussion on curriculum reform; Observation and discussion on the non-curriculum reform subject "old class and new class": observation and discussion on innovative classroom teaching; Observation and Discussion on "Psychological Health Education in Conventional Teaching"

Through observation activities, teachers have a preliminary perceptual understanding of the concept of curriculum reform and the reform of classroom teaching methods that are compatible with the concept of curriculum reform. On the basis of careful evaluation by teaching and research groups, we have held four school-level observation seminars in order to create a strong atmosphere of curriculum reform, sum up experience and further promote the in-depth development of curriculum reform experiments in our school. At the seminar, teachers gave lectures, and representatives of the teaching and research group commented and exchanged views on the curriculum reform of this discipline. Through discussion, teachers' understanding of curriculum reform has risen to a certain theoretical height.

Through observation activities, it has become the consensus of all teachers in our school to change the teacher-centered structure and students' outdated learning methods, change the traditional teaching knowledge infusion process into the process of students' active learning and participation, and establish a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students. In classroom teaching, actively create opportunities, communicate with students through various channels and forms, and narrow the distance with students; Create a relaxed and happy classroom atmosphere through harmonious and democratic teacher-student relationship; By improving teaching methods and using multimedia means, students' interest and enthusiasm in learning can be fully mobilized; For example, in history classroom teaching, we can free students' eyes, hands, hearts, mouths, space and time by means of "thinking", "activity and inquiry", "exercise", "handwritten newspaper", "history essay", "classroom debate" and "research study", so that students can study hard and study hard. For example, the case investigation method of biology department has extended students' knowledge and improved their ability to analyze and solve problems; In the geography problem-based learning method, teachers add or subtract new textbooks, design some questions, organize students to discuss, and guide students according to their difficult problems, so that students can become the main body of the classroom.

Third, carry out project research, promote curriculum reform and promote the process of school education and scientific research.

1, strengthen project management and establish rules and regulations.

Project research is an important way to break through the key and difficult points of curriculum reform. The school has promulgated the Administrative Measures for Educational Scientific Research in Jinjiting Middle School and the Provisions for the Selection and Award of Educational and Teaching Papers in Jinjiting Middle School, in order to promote teaching and research through scientific research and curriculum reform through teaching and research. Encourage teachers to carry out research on the reform of classroom teaching methods, students' emotions and attitudes, the formation of values, and students' academic evaluation. And actively declare university-level and municipal scientific research projects. Each teaching and research group formulates the work plan of scientific research and curriculum reform, determines the research topics at the school level, initially forms the research network of school-based topics and municipal topics, pays attention to the implementation of topic research, formulates plans, process materials and stage summaries, and forms the municipal and municipal research systems. School leaders take the lead in project research and really promote curriculum reform with project research.

2. Strong scientific research atmosphere and remarkable achievements.

(1), to create an atmosphere of school research, teachers generally have the awareness of research, and a wide range of teachers participate in the research. Among the teachers, 1 0,000% participated in scientific research on topics above the school level, including: 2 scientific research projects of "Research on Psychological Education Model of Middle School Students" presided over by President Zheng Xunlong, with the participation of all teachers; The research group of "Research on the Integration of Tao Xingzhi's" Real Person "Education and New Curriculum" chaired by Secretary Wu Jinzhong has members 10. The first batch of municipal curriculum reform project "Research on Cultivating Students' Innovative Thinking Quality in Junior Middle School History Teaching" has four members; School-level curriculum reform subject 15, with 50 members.

(2) Initially form a research network with municipal projects as the leader and school-level projects as the auxiliary.

Implement project classification management, establish corresponding incentive mechanism, and combine it with annual assessment.

(3) Pay attention to the collection and promotion of applied research and research results, and the research on the subject is solid.

Effective. Published the monograph "Practice and Exploration" of mental health education in middle schools (edited by President Zheng Xunlong), and studied and explored the cases and theories of mental health education activity classes in middle schools.

(4) Since its establishment, the school-level scientific research publication Window of Teaching and Research has published 58 issues, and published more than 500 articles on teachers' education and research in our school, with nearly one million words, and achieved good results.

(5) Compilation of teaching papers in Jinjiting Middle School (IV and V), compilation of cases of "old class and new course" in Jinjiting Middle School, compilation of experience in curriculum reform in Jinjiting Middle School (I), compilation of cases of quality education in Jinjiting Middle School (I), compilation of the first ceramic research papers in Jinjiting Middle School, etc.

(6) Since the experiment of curriculum reform began in September, 20001year, more than 60 papers or cases on curriculum reform have been published or won prizes in professional societies or magazines above the municipal level.

It is an important feature of our school's curriculum reform experiment to promote curriculum reform with subject research and educational research. Some important issues in education and teaching, such as mental health education, the quality of students' innovative thinking, the change of classroom teaching methods, the application of multimedia technology, etc. Through the research of the subject, it is discussed in depth. In the research of educational research and its application, teachers not only gradually improve the level of educational theory, but also optimize classroom teaching and improve teaching quality.

3. Run the window of teaching and research well and form its own characteristics.

Under the strict control of President Zheng, the window of teaching and research edited and published 58 issues, including the first-year curriculum reform experiment seminar, middle school Chinese seminar, middle school English teaching seminar, middle school moral education seminar, 2002 curriculum reform observation seminar, classroom teaching innovation case seminar and so on. One article brings together the hard work and wisdom of teachers who are diligent in practice and brave in theoretical exploration, and also embodies the ardent expectations of school leaders to attach importance to educational research and improve teachers' education and teaching level. The "window of teaching and research" has become a favorite place for teachers to exchange teaching research and educational research, which has played a positive role in improving the educational research level of teachers in our school.

Four, file management, classify, comprehensively standardize the special management requirements of curriculum reform files.

Archives management is an important work in the experiment of curriculum reform. We do special management, and someone is in charge. We have established the following kinds of curriculum reform files: related files of higher-level curriculum reform experiments, related files of school curriculum reform experiments, newsletter of curriculum reform experiments, experience and papers of curriculum reform, case analysis, courseware making, teaching video and recording materials, professional files of teachers in curriculum reform disciplines, and home-school contact. The municipal curriculum reform research group believes that the archival materials of our school are very distinctive. As can be seen from the materials, the school puts the curriculum reform work in the overall work of the school and really integrates it into the work of the school. The archival materials are informative, standardized and orderly. The material is very good, very real, and a good way to file. "

Fifth, organize the teaching of elective courses and activity courses, explore school-based courses and improve the school curriculum system.

L. In the arrangement of elective courses, courses such as literature appreciation, speech skills, oral English, math contest, painting and calligraphy appreciation, music appreciation and computer teaching are offered according to the actual situation.

2. In the arrangement of activity classes, courses such as music cooperation and work analysis, computer network knowledge and web page making, environmental education, tourism geography, Xiamen historical changes and human landscape, water, soil and human feelings, etc. are offered, and all students are required to participate, so as to ensure the specific content of activity classes and actively explore the evaluation of activity classes.

Sixth, explore a comprehensive evaluation system to promote students' all-round development.

1. The new round of curriculum reform emphasizes the establishment of an evaluation system that can promote students' all-round development and pay attention to students' development in evaluation. On the basis of reforming the original evaluation method, our school has strengthened the research in the following aspects. (1) Evaluate students' learning styles and promote students to change their learning styles; (2) Evaluate students' life experience, encourage students to practice and transcend life, and guide students to be good at observing life, finding problems, putting forward questions, assuming, making plans, exploring and drawing conclusions; (3) The evaluation of students' emotional attitude enables students to experience joy and success in the process of acquiring knowledge and experience and form correct values; (4) Evaluate the experimental process and inquiry process, promote students' active participation, improve their practical ability and learn to cooperate.

2, the establishment of student growth portfolio. For example, in geography class, students are required to put excellent homework, small productions, small papers and materials collected before class into their schoolbags, and teachers regularly check and evaluate them to help students build up self-confidence and correctly understand themselves.

3. Try to establish a comprehensive evaluation system for students in the curriculum reform. The curriculum reform takes the promotion of students' development as the starting point, increases the comprehensive ability evaluation, takes the learning attitude as an important assessment goal, and includes classroom discussion and speech, production, experiment, writing small papers, making handwritten newspapers, visiting, investigation activities, competitions, reading extracurricular books, etc.
