The curriculum of primary education in France is quite relaxed, and there is almost no homework. The state has not stipulated a strict syllabus. Teachers often hold several positions, teaching different subjects and grades, and teaching arrangements are quite free. It often happens that a student learns something in the third grade and the teacher in the fourth grade repeats it. Everyone is used to it. At this stage, the school really pays attention to physical education class and cultivates students' independent living habits. The attitude towards students' academic performance, especially subjects that require logical thinking, such as mathematics, is basically "following fate", and there is no "chicken baby" phenomenon, let alone extracurricular tutoring. If parents ask their children to enroll in extracurricular classes, there are only extracurricular classes such as music, art and sports. It was not until junior high school that the difficulty of mathematics subjects was slightly improved. French high schools are also divided into ordinary high schools aiming at universities or above and vocational high schools taking a career path, but junior high school students are not under great pressure. First, because there is no senior high school entrance examination in France, students apply for high school with their usual grades; Second, if students go to vocational high school, it is not difficult for students and parents to accept it, and there is no goal and pressure to go to college. Therefore, the lower limit of basic education in France is relatively low, and people in China in France will feel that the people they come into contact with in their daily lives are generally not good at mathematics, and often even simple calculations are not clear.
The French educational philosophy holds that children in primary school have immature brains and lack logical thinking ability, so there is no need for them to learn courses that are too difficult and require logical reasoning. Therefore, the teaching difficulty is low, all students can pass, there will be no strong frustration, and learning will be avoided. Teachers pay more attention to fun in class, use physics teaching more, and organize students to go to various museums and science and technology museums. These institutions usually have high-level lecturers who are responsible for giving students a brief explanation. For example, there is a course about microorganisms and fermentation, which allows students to do it themselves and understand microorganisms and fermentation in the process of simply fermenting food. At the same time, the teacher will also talk about the contribution of French biologist Pasteur.
French schools also attach great importance to students' practical ability. In mathematics and science classes before French high schools, the difficulty of logical reasoning is relatively low, and there are not many knowledge points to be memorized, and students' perceptual experience and practical ability are paid more attention to.
French elite high schools do not enter the school nearby, but choose talents, mainly the first and second places with the best grades in junior high schools. Because primary and secondary schools do not have an atmosphere of hard work, students who can enter elite high schools rely more on their personal talents, interest in learning and good family education than on external incentives and pressures. In fact, subjects such as mathematics and physics rely heavily on human talent. The French education model may make ordinary children not get enough training in their youth, but accurately select high-talented students, so that the smartest and most motivated children can enter the elite education sequence and get the best resources and space. These students have strong motivation to learn independently, but less utilitarian, and more efforts come from their love of science. They will become the main power source of French scientific research and cultural progress.
Once entering elite high schools, students' learning pressure will suddenly increase, and elite high schools also have top classes and ordinary classes. If you want to get ahead, you must go all out. In addition to elite high schools, there are two different types of mathematics education in French ordinary high schools. First, according to the basic requirements that everyone should meet, the standards are relatively low and students can basically meet them. If China students go to ordinary French universities, they will meet such students, and they may think that their math level is average. Second, children with good math scores can choose advanced classes. They should study calculus, probability statistics, spatial plane and other courses closely related to the university in advance in high school. It should be pointed out that the advanced courses in French basic education only include mathematics, not physical chemistry, on the one hand, because mathematics has a special basic position in science and engineering; On the other hand, because the IQ difference of students is the most obvious in mathematics, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude can only be realized by dividing classes. /zd/lx
