2. Parents love "electronic tutoring"
Parents not only pay attention to the price of the point reading machine, but also care about its language education function. Parents of primary school students hope that the point reading machine can teach their children to learn oral English well. More parents have no time to teach their children because of their busy work, so they invite an' electronic tutor' to go home. Parents of young children hope that their children can learn daily spoken English and learn some simple English words through the point reading machine.
3. Parents spit out nearly 1,000 yuan to buy a "confused machine"
Miss Wang spent more than 1000 yuan on a point reading machine last year, and it only took two weeks. It turned out that Miss Wang found that the knowledge points in the point reading machine were very simple. Many knowledge points are repeating the contents in the textbook. If she wants new content, she needs to download it, but after downloading, the content is similar and can't meet the requirements of the exam at all, and it becomes a "fool machine".
After the freshness, the point reading machine becomes a game machine.
Because Ms. Li's family has a point reading machine, the children are very interested at first, and they take out the point reading machine to learn if they don't understand the content. However, after a while, Ms. Li found that children often stay motionless in front of the point reading machine for a long time. She found her mother coming, so she hid the reading machine. Ms. Li later turned on the point reading machine and found that there were games in it, and the content of her study was deleted. Under Ms. Li's "forced questioning", the child admitted that many students used the point reading machine as a game machine.
There may be many mistakes in the point reading machine.
Mr. Li of Guangzhou found that the same English word was pronounced differently between two readers! When I went to the counter for consultation, both companies said that their products and teaching materials were synchronized and their pronunciation was very accurate. Finally, Miss Li had to ask the English teacher to teach the children.
Mr. Zhang from Beijing spent 798 yuan to buy a point reading machine of a well-known brand, and then downloaded the genuine textbook according to the prompts, but later found that his son's recitation content was different from the textbook! Only after checking did I know that the original point reader read "dark circles" as "black eyes" and other common misunderstandings.
Voices of all parties
Parents: "I think the point reading machine is not suitable for young children: First, it will stifle children's observation ability, discrimination ability and thinking ability." The second will make children develop bad study habits, and the third will lead to children's lack of thinking. "
Expert in adolescent behavioral psychology: "Although electronic product software has the characteristics of interactivity and teaching, it cannot replace the traditional educational model and interpersonal communication. It is only one-way information infusion, which limits children's imagination, creativity and thinking ability and makes children very lonely and indifferent. " What behaviors of parents will kill children's imagination? )
Director of Family Education Research Center: "The emergence of new educational products is an inevitable development trend, and it can still help children learn in some way. But it can't replace the communication and interaction between parents and children, so parents should not replace the communication with children with high-tech products. Scientific and technological products must be used reasonably. "
Minister of Children's Work Department of Women's Federation: "Some students don't concentrate in class, so they use the point reading machine to learn their brains after class. In fact, the point reading machine is only a counseling tool, and it cannot replace the teacher's teaching, nor will it teach students in accordance with their aptitude. "
Heart school teacher: "The translation and pronunciation of the point reading machine are still under study, so we can't be sure that it is 100% correct." However, the phenomenon of over-promotion also exists in the target reading machine industry, misleading consumption. "
Is it okay for children to use the point reading machine?
The "spiritual tutor" and the national second-level psychological counselor certified by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security believe that the point reading machine can only be used as an auxiliary tool for learning. Its biggest feature is that it can update the teaching content according to the learning progress, make up for the lack of parents, help children digest and absorb knowledge better, and also play the role of extracurricular counseling for school-age children.
However, because the point reading machine is only used as an auxiliary tool, its purpose is to bring services to children's learning, and children and parents should not rely too much. In particular, some parents who are eager for quick success and instant benefit also regard the point reading machine as a magic weapon to quickly improve their children's grades, and even hand over their children's spare time to the point reading machine, and then ignore everything. In fact, this mentality is wrong.
If parents want to play the role of point reading machine, they should "foster strengths and avoid weaknesses". Its advantage lies in its lively and interesting teaching methods, so parents need to make full use of technology to stimulate their children's interest in learning in the process of supervising their children's learning and using the point reading machine. One-way information instillation of point reading machine is its shortcoming, which makes some children with poor self-control rely on it and lack thinking, so they can't find or solve problems in time.
How to choose a qualified point reader for your baby?
1, look at the pronunciation mark of the point reader is not standard. When learning English, children in China are prone to Chinglish or dialect English. Therefore, parents need to check the accuracy of pronunciation when choosing a point reading machine. It is best to choose some point reading machines recorded by professional foreigners. If parents can't speak English themselves, they can't tell whether their pronunciation is standard or not. You can see if this product has the voice certification of the national authoritative English organization. Usually the point reading machine with voice authentication will be more professional in pronunciation accuracy and imitation.
2. Is it a copyrighted textbook? The point reading machine is an electronic product that is highly dependent on teaching materials. If the textbook is not authoritative and synchronous, it will seriously affect children's learning. Therefore, when parents choose the point reading machine, they must see clearly whether this product has the authorization card of the mainstream publishing house or related authorization certification.
3. Is it true MP3 sound quality? The advantage of real MP3 sound quality is that it is very clear and mellow. For the same content, the sound in MP3 format is much better than that in normal format.
4. Is it a regular brand? Relatively speaking, big brands have abundant capital and technical strength, so the investment in product research and development and production is unmatched by small manufacturers, so the quality of products is also guaranteed.
Generally speaking, parents should consider all aspects when choosing the point reading machine for their children, and also understand the advantages and disadvantages of the point reading machine, and pay attention to it during use, so as not to bring negative effects. Parents should also understand "how to stimulate children's imagination?" In addition, we need to read more about the topic of early childhood education, so that everyone can know how to carry out early childhood education.
