Today, 62 years later, Guangzhou Railway No.1 Middle School, which has been handed over to the government, has given birth to two special classes-"Tie Ying Class", which means "elite talents trained by iron art". They are as brave as locomotives and can learn innovative wisdom from high technology. President Zhou Weifeng believes that the talents trained by Tie Ying are in line with the direction of the college entrance examination reform, and comprehensive talents with high quality will be more able to adapt to the college entrance examination reform.
Tieyi won the title of "Guangzhou Characteristic School" with the first place in the construction of characteristic courses in 20 14, and obtained the qualification of "independent batch" enrollment 100. Students admitted by independent batches directly enter the "Tie Ying Innovation Experimental Class".
The innovative course of "Iron Eagle" includes three parts: science and technology, humanities and activities. Science and technology courses highlight the application of high technology in basic disciplines, and cultivate students' innovative thinking and scientific inquiry spirit; Humanities course deeply interprets the relationship between social economic development and social change, and cultivates students' social vision and humanistic quality; The purpose of the activity is to cultivate students' comprehensive practical ability, forge strong will quality, broaden students' international horizons, and make them become social elites with strong sense of social responsibility and mission, and constantly pursue Excellence. In addition to the rich practice of classroom learning, students in Tie Ying class are proud to be able to use the most advanced experimental equipment in China-the "nano-lab" that even doctoral students are eager to have.
Not long ago, Guangdong's first middle school innovation laboratory settled in Tieyi Asian Games City Campus. In this laboratory with a cost of nearly one million yuan, students can watch the lineup of "atoms" through a nano-microscope, and understand why lotus leaves are turbid and non-stick, and the principle of photocatalytic air purification.
In the math inquiry room, students can also deduce, verify and challenge cutting-edge math problems by holding a "graphic calculator" the size of a TV remote control.
"Students of Tieyi can use the most advanced laboratories in China," said President Zhou Weifeng. Guangzhou No.1 Middle School is one of the six pilot schools of "Smart Campus" in Guangzhou. In addition to the laboratory, there are modern teaching facilities, such as a 24-hour library and an interactive whiteboard. "Good hardware can get twice the result with half the effort, stimulate students to explore fun and improve teachers' professional ability. "In addition to upgrading hardware, Guangzhou Railway No.1 Middle School is also committed to effective classroom reform.
Not long ago, a delegation of primary and secondary school principals from Nashville, Tennessee, visited Tieyi. Principals from the United States, Britain and China took a math class on the topic of "Counting Principle" in middle school mathematics.
"Foreign classrooms pay attention to discussion, and we have absorbed it. In the comparison of the internationalization of education, we will not feel dwarfed. " Zhou Weifeng said. In the future, students of Tieyi will feel more heterogeneity of domestic and foreign masters in the same class (that is, the same class is taught by different teachers) and appreciate the charm of classroom reform.
Spending so much time on extracurricular practice, can students in Tie Ying class keep up?
"Parents can rest assured." In this regard, Zhou Weifeng believes that the direction of college entrance examination reform is to pay more and more attention to students' comprehensive quality, and Tieyi's rich scientific, technological, cultural and sports activities can be used as a carrier for students to exercise their communication and cooperation skills. In the past, the college entrance examination only relied on "time+sweat" and sea tactics, but now it pays more attention to the law of education and the law of people's growth.
