How to arrange homework reasonably

Assignment and design of homework under the new curriculum

Traditional homework can no longer meet the requirements of the new curriculum. An important concept of the new curriculum reform is to improve learning efficiency and reduce students' burden, and one of the main sources of students' learning burden is homework. How can each student achieve a double harvest of academic performance and ability in a limited time and easily and happily? Now let me share some opinions on how to design homework scientifically and efficiently in the new curriculum reform:

1. Homework assignments should reflect interest

Interest is the best teacher. When designing homework assignments, we should consider the actual life of students and proceed step by step from easy to difficult. To fully mobilize students' enthusiasm and avoid single calculation, mathematics calculation homework can be designed in various forms. For example, if you have learned two-digit addition and subtraction, in order to consolidate the knowledge points, turn the calculation into an interesting guessing game, such as: 25 36 = 61. You don’t have to write it down. You can guess like this: I am 36 older than 25. I Who is it? This kind of guessing not only increases students' interest, but also improves the calculation ability of students with poor thinking ability. In addition to guessing numbers, we also guessed age, guessed what to eat, play, and use. It seems very simple, but in fact there is a lot of mathematical knowledge. This method of guessing the number content can be done within the family or among peers.

2． Homework assignments should be hierarchical

Due to the influence of cultural environment, family background and own factors, individual differences among students exist objectively. In order to cater to all students and promote everyone's success, homework should be designed in layers based on students' learning motivation, learning foundation, and learning ability. Our education is an education for all students, allowing "different people to develop differently." To this end, "one size fits all" cannot be used. We should proceed from the students' actual conditions, design hierarchical assignments according to their individual differences, and create an environment for each student to practice, improve and develop, so that each student can become a successful person in practice. According to the differences between students, some exercises with different solutions and results are designed to meet the needs of students at different levels.

First of all, do a survey before class to understand the actual situation of the students. The teacher selects the homework and selects an appropriate amount of homework based on the teaching content and the actual situation of the students. The assignments should be designed from easy to difficult, and certain flexible assignments, that is, optional assignments, can also be set. Provide students with independent choices so that top students can eat well, average students can eat enough, and underachievers can eat as much as they want. For example, after finishing "Looking for Spring" in the second volume of the second grade, in the spring, I assigned the following four hierarchical assignments to the students and asked them to choose two or three to complete.

(1) Emotionally show this text to your parents and listen to their comments.

(2) Add an illustration to the text based on the text content and your own imagination.

(3) Collect children’s songs, read the lyrics and sing them.

(4) Go to the wild to look for spring, and tell your parents or write about the spring scene in an organized way to your classmates.

Secondly, the difficulty should be moderate. When assigning homework, it is necessary to implement the concept of "zone of proximal development" advocated by Vygotsky. For example, when assigning homework, we should try to take into account the different zones of proximal development among students, and design homework with moderate difficulty and ease to suit the needs of students at different levels.

3． Homework should be assigned scientifically and reasonably

Based on many years of educational experience, I feel that it is unrealistic to try to use homework as the only way to improve students' test scores. Nowadays, because many teachers want to achieve impressive teaching results, they often assign a large amount of homework, and most of the homework content consists of repeated copying, etc., which not only wastes children's precious childhood time, but also fails to achieve the expected goals. So, how to set up homework in a reasonable and effective way. I think:

First of all, the amount should be moderate. How to determine "quantity"? The “amount” of homework should be scientifically determined based on students’ psychological and physiological characteristics.

After all, homework is just extracurricular work for children. After a day of intense study, what children need most is to relax. Homework can only be used as a supplement at best and cannot take up all of children's spare time. The "New Chinese Curriculum Standards for Primary Schools" has clear regulations on the setting time of homework: no more than 15 minutes for first and second grade students, no more than 30 minutes for middle grade students, and no more than 1 hour for senior students. In this way, not only can students maintain a good mental state, but also help students complete their homework with high quality and quantity.

The benefits of homework assignments are "precise" and "living" are obvious: 1. When the teacher requires neat fonts, the children will be confident and can easily achieve slow work results. Meticulous goals. If there is too much homework, and students cannot complete it within the limited time, they will become bored and will not do the homework; if the homework is too difficult, most students will not be able to complete partial, strange, and technical questions; if the homework is too small or too simple, the students will not be able to complete the homework. It cannot provide good feedback or improvement. The consideration and design work should be "living" on the basis of "fineness". "Activity" is a form that can mobilize students' interest in learning, complete homework better, and consolidate knowledge. 2. It can save a lot of time for children and allow them to play fully. It is children's nature to love to play. Children who do not have enough play time are more likely to suffer from myopia, depression, etc. than children who have enough play time. Moreover, when children are playing, their nature is released, their strong energy is vented, and there will be far fewer problem children and problems that should not arise.

So, I really feel that it is best to assign homework in a targeted manner according to children's weak areas. As long as each of our teachers works hard to practice and dares to innovate, the quality of teaching will definitely be improved in a large-scale and solid way through burden reduction and achieve practical results.

3. Find the right motivation and urge children to complete homework

1. Handling methods

In teaching, in addition to carefully arranging homework, teachers must also carefully check, correct or comment on homework, so that homework can truly play its due role. In terms of checking homework, I mainly use three different methods: first, class cadre inspection, second, teacher random inspection, and third, homework evaluation. For the correction of homework, different forms such as teacher correction, class cadre correction, and student mutual correction are adopted. During the correction process, teachers find areas where students make more mistakes and make key comments. This arrangement not only helps save time, but also helps cultivate students' ability to self-discover and solve problems.

2． Timely evaluation

To truly maximize the effectiveness of homework, it is necessary to provide timely feedback on students’ homework status. Experiments have proven that teachers’ timely feedback and evaluation of homework can attract students’ attention and stimulate their interest in learning. Therefore, teachers should take various forms to check and understand students' homework in a timely manner, point out the advantages and disadvantages of the homework, and encourage and evaluate students to continuously mobilize students' interest in independent learning.

3． Parental Cooperation

In our daily teaching process, we often encounter the phenomenon that some students do not do their homework. There are various reasons why students do not do their homework:

(1) The speed is slow. When doing homework, I often look around and get distracted. If there is too much homework, I can't finish it.

(2) Can’t do it. Because I didn't understand the knowledge I learned in class, I had learning difficulties, but I didn't want to find a way to solve it, so I just ignored it.

(3) Laziness. He loves to play by nature and cannot control himself. He cannot "do his homework before playing".

(4) The family lacks proper supervision. Many children are like "little emperors" at home, with their grandparents hanging around and not being able to discipline them well. Or because parents work both ways, they get off work late, and there is no one to supervise them after school. These reasons are hidden dangers for students not being able to complete assignments on time and within the specified amount.

Parents and teachers should be in regular contact. With the joint efforts of both parties, children can learn and live better. Children's education is inseparable from family and society. Parents and teachers can communicate more. Promote the healthy development of children.

When students fail to complete their homework on time, decisive measures must be taken. Children should be made aware that "learning is their own business" and gradually learn to control themselves. Especially when children need help with homework, parents should provide guidance patiently. If parents don’t know whether their children’s homework is correct or not, they don’t have to comment. After the teacher makes corrections, parents should see that everything was done correctly and praise their children. There are errors, which can help the child find out the reason for the error. In this way, there is supervision, guidance, and inspection, and perseverance. Over time, children will naturally form good homework habits.

“Scholars benefit from teachers who are thoughtful.” Homework is an extension of classroom teaching, and its refined and optimized design can maximize the space for students to reduce their burden. How to effectively use homework to cultivate students' independent learning ability is a question worthy of continuous exploration. Let us continue to work hard to truly make effective use of homework, cultivate students' good study habits, enhance their independent learning ability, and continuously improve the quality of teaching. .
