In recent years, there have been more than one case of news that primary school students' homework problems have baffled highly educated people. For example, last year, a "Xiaoming fishing" math problem in the first grade of primary school stumped the math master of Peking University; This year, a "road map question" stumped netizens again. This phenomenon has aroused heated discussion in society.
It is normal for primary school students to have problems with their homework, because difficult topics help to develop students' intelligence and stimulate their interest in learning. This is just like picking apples and letting students jump, which can arouse students' interest. However, if the apple is hung too high for students to jump, then students will be too lazy to jump. Similarly, the difficulty of homework questions should be moderate. However, at present, many primary school students will have some off-topic, strange questions and difficult problems in their homework, most of which are abstract, tedious and chaotic digital games. These topics are divorced from the reality of students and far exceed the cognitive level of primary school students. They not only fail to develop students' intelligence, but also dampen their enthusiasm for learning.
For a long time, one of the main reasons for the difficulty of primary school students' homework is the difficulty of exams. Although many complicated, difficult and outdated teaching contents have been deleted from the textbooks under the new curriculum standard, the difficulty of the examination has not been reduced. In order to improve students' ability to take exams, some teachers have worked hard on difficult problems.
In this sense, the difficulty of homework and exam questions reflects the questioner's indifference to students' learning rules, which opens the distance between the current educational situation and the goal of quality education, and deserves educators' reflection.
It is hoped that teachers will pay more attention to the development of students' IQ and ability in education and teaching, and realize that there should be not only methods to train students to do more problems, but also practical and not blindly encouraged. Of course, the existence of problems such as high employment pressure and narrow channels of success is undoubtedly the deeper reason for this problem. A thorough solution to this problem requires long-term efforts from all walks of life.
