On May 14, referring to the experience and results of online teaching practice during the epidemic, Wu Yan, Director of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, used three "excitements" at the press conference of the Ministry of Education: the autonomy of students in learning makes people Exciting, the interaction between teachers and students is exciting, and the accuracy of teaching management is exciting. "In the future, we must also make full use of the'learning revolution' set off during the epidemic to solidly promote the'quality revolution' of higher education personnel training." Wu Yan emphasized.
During the epidemic, online teaching in colleges and universities has realized "stopping of classes without stopping teaching, and without stopping school" in the whole region, with full coverage and all aspects. As of May 8, 1,454 colleges and universities across the country have launched online teaching. 1.03 million teachers offered 1.07 million courses online, a total of 12.26 million courses, including both theoretical and experimental courses; 17.75 million college students participated in online learning, a total of 2.3 billion people.
Online teaching practice has brought "four changes": it has changed the teaching of teachers, changed the learning of students, changed the management of schools, and changed the form of education. Wu Yan said that after classes are resumed, online education will also change from "freshness" to "new normal". "Because we cannot and should not return to the state of teaching and learning before the epidemic, online teaching integrated with'Internet +'smart +'technology has become an important development direction for higher education in China and the world."
How to change to the new normal? Wu Yan pointed out that after the school starts normally, online teaching can still be paralleled with classroom teaching, which is a physical change. More profound than physical changes are chemical changes. The technical methods of teaching and learning summarized from online teaching, including content and standards, evaluation and paradigms, will undergo profound changes.
"Temporary education reform" should be turned into "quality action". Wu Yan said that during the epidemic, the Ministry of Education also established three parallel quality monitoring task forces to evaluate the services of the curriculum platform and technology platform, evaluate the education and teaching situation of various disciplines and specialties, and conduct online online To evaluate whether the curriculum is substantially equivalent to the teaching effect. At the same time, the research team is also studying how these temporary measures to deal with the epidemic can be transformed into a normal state.
During the epidemic, the Ministry of Education also required all provinces, cities and all schools to implement a weekly online teaching quality report system. "We let three parallel research groups conduct massive data analysis on the teaching and learning situation of thousands of schools and 12 disciplines across the country. Through the investigation, we found a gratifying change: schools that have not been seen for many years have gathered together The gratifying situation of grasping the teaching reform has emerged. Teachers who have not seen for many years have concentrated on teaching and grasping the quality of the class." Wu Yan said that when teaching online, we must also create online gold courses and offline courses. Gold courses, blended gold courses, virtual simulation gold courses and social practice gold courses reflect high-level, innovative and challenging online courses. Online teaching during the epidemic has realized the "five ups" that the Ministry of Education once proposed to "make the courses better, make teachers stronger, keep students busy, make management stricter, and make the effect real".
"We will transform some of the lively practices of this large-scale online education and teaching into important measures for education and teaching reform after the epidemic is over, forming a complete set of ideas, concepts, content, methods, technologies, standards, evaluations, paradigms, etc. Reform plan." Wu Yan looked forward. (Reporter Zhang Galen)
