Career Planning of Mathematics Teachers (1)
In the long life, only by going forward bravely, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and struggling hard, can we hit the middle water and reach the other side of the light. During my college years, it was a good time for me to work hard. Therefore, we should have correct ideals and beliefs, which are the beacon and power source for me to brave the wind and waves and fight the sea. In the process of striving for social ideals, we firmly believe in and realize our own ideals. Therefore, it is particularly important to give yourself a realistic career plan.
I am a student majoring in mathematics education. My major is to make me a people's teacher in the future, and I am full of expectations for the teaching profession. First of all, I should have a correct understanding of myself and the profession of teacher.
Self-analysis method:
(1) Who am I? I am a student majoring in mathematics education. I have the spirit of being willing to work. When you encounter something, you should first use your own ability to solve it, and then ask others for help. I have a good sense of teamwork and pay attention to the collective.
(2) What do I want to do? Everyone has his own ideal, and so do I. I don't expect to be able to do a smooth career, but I want to make my own contribution in an ordinary post, realize my own life value, and let my life shine in my job.
(3) What would I do? I participated in the bilingual speech contest at school and exercised my ability. I took the initiative to do some social practice outside school, which not only exercised my practical ability, but also exercised my social skills.
(4) What does the environment support or allow me to do? My parents support me to do what I like. Only when I like this profession can I devote myself to creating and improving my work with full enthusiasm. The country advocates independent innovation, which also provides opportunities for my personal development.
(5) What are my career and life plans? My ideal career is closely combined with my major: teacher. Greatness breeds in the ordinary. Although hard work, but also gains, I often envy those teachers who are full of peaches and plums, and when I recall them, they are full of pride and smiles. Because they let children open their eyes and see the richness and changes of the world. I hope I can bring happiness and fulfillment to my life like them.
SWOT analysis method:
SWOT is a combination of the initials "strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats".
Advantages: What did you learn, what was the most successful, and what was your endurance? As a normal student, I can systematically learn the theoretical and cultural knowledge of my major, appreciate everyone's elegance in class and find a way to success in the library. I am not a very smart person, but my diligence and endurance will make up for my shortcomings, and success will also care for those who are diligent, won't it?
Weakness: What is the weakness of personality, experience or lack of experience? I still lack a little confidence. With self-confidence, you are half successful. There is some truth in this statement. I often ask myself when I do something. Can I do that? Hesitate and worry about your ability. But afterwards, I found out what my strengths are. What I lack is self-confidence, so I will take an active part in any school activities in the future. Opportunity: the current employment form, all kinds of career development space, the most urgently needed occupation in society? The country implements the strategy of strengthening the country with talents and attaches great importance to the education and training of talents, which is doomed that the profession of teacher will never fall behind, and he shoulders the heavy responsibility of educating talents. The quality of teachers determines the fate of a country. Therefore, the profession of teachers is very promising and urgently needed. Threat (challenge): competition from classmates, low salary.
Competition is inevitable. I often meet several classmates competing for a position. I think this is a healthy competition. With competition, I will better improve my quality and professional skills, and I can better cope with the work. As for salary, a series of preferential policies for teachers such as the National Sunshine Project have dispelled my doubts.
These are my understanding of myself and my understanding of this major. The following are my plans during my school days:
Ideological, political and moral quality: With the guidance of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, establish a correct outlook on life, values, morality, struggle and entrepreneurship, and adhere to the correct orientation of life values. Regularly submit the study, understanding and practice of the party's articles of association, as well as your own words, deeds and feelings, so as to pass the examination as soon as possible and join the China * * * Production Party. Actively participate in party and group activities.
Social practice and voluntary service: timely participate in social investigation activities. Participate in public welfare undertakings such as safe and unpaid blood donation, tree planting activities and youth volunteer service activities in time.
Scientific and technological academic innovation and entrepreneurship: while learning professional skills solidly, we should make full use of the information in school libraries, off-campus book shops and networks to broaden our horizons and broaden our knowledge, so as to stimulate and broaden our thinking and try to design and carry out academic innovation and scientific and technological innovation.
Stylistic arts, community activities and physical and mental development: actively participate in cultural and sports activities inside and outside the school, community activities in the school, speech competitions, debate competitions, calligraphy and painting competitions, etc. , so as to fully exercise courage and ability, show personal style. Take an active part in physical exercise.
Skills: Pass the National Computer Test Band 2 and College English Test Band 4.
Academic aspect: study hard the knowledge of this major, and it covers a wide range. Knowledge accumulation should be not only extensive, but also specialized and refined.
It is good to make a good plan, but what is more important is its concrete implementation and results. This moment cannot be forgotten. Any goal, just talking and not doing, will only fail. However, the reality is unknown and changeable. The set target plan may be affected by various factors at any time. Everyone should be fully prepared for this. Of course, including myself. Therefore, when encountering unexpected factors and adverse effects, we should pay attention to keep a clear head, not only face and analyze the problems encountered in time, but also come up with a quick and decisive response plan, and try our best to save what has happened. If it cannot be saved, we should actively take measures to correct it. I believe that in this way, even if the future actions are different from the goals, they will not be too far apart.
Career Planning of Mathematics Teachers (2)
Because mathematics classroom teaching is the main carrier of school education and teaching activities, efficient mathematics classroom teaching is the fundamental guarantee to improve the quality of education and teaching. In the new round of basic education curriculum reform, teachers are faced with new courses, new textbooks and new teaching methods, and teachers are obviously the key to curriculum reform. This requires junior high school mathematics teachers not only to have noble professional ethics, advanced teaching concepts and profound educational professional knowledge, but also to have systematic and solid professional knowledge and extensive interdisciplinary comprehensive knowledge. Therefore, teachers' career planning should be made: 1. Improve mathematics literacy.
Strive to learn more systematic and professional basic knowledge and skills. Only teachers with good math literacy can teach math well. Continue to study "Interpretation of Mathematics Curriculum Standards", deeply study and study the mathematics curriculum of People's Education Press, and carry out mathematics teaching on the premise that I can master it.
Second, update the concept of education and keep pace with the times.
Read the new curriculum standards carefully, actively read some teaching magazines that are at the forefront of the times, read some educational and teaching monographs, contact all aspects of advanced teaching information through the network, constantly update their own educational concepts, try to infiltrate the new curriculum concepts into teaching, and guide their teaching behavior with new teaching concepts. Record the problems found in your own teaching and consult experienced teachers, especially instructors.
Third, strive to improve the art of classroom teaching.
Study hard, ask more questions, consult more experts and colleagues, take every class seriously, study hard, cherish every opportunity of open class, grind more classes, find out the characteristics of your class and form your own teaching style. I hope this training can build an open class platform for me. Carefully design the teaching language, blackboard writing and teaching activities before each class, and pay attention to forming a good teaching attitude in teaching. Improve the teaching effect while improving the basic teaching skills. I will pay more attention to the classroom teaching of other teachers, especially to learn from the good teaching methods of excellent teachers, and constantly improve my lesson preparation and classroom quality. In addition, I have mastered the foundation of information technology, and it is a modern teaching method to give full play to its advantages in mathematics class. Only by using some higher-level information technology can we show what we want to express in class through courseware and achieve the expected results. It is necessary to gradually establish a database of mathematics teaching resources to realize professional guidance, peer assistance and resource sharing in the true sense. We should seriously study the basic teaching procedures such as preparing lessons, attending lectures, assigning and correcting homework, making up lessons, teaching evaluation and teaching reflection, and combine the characteristics of mathematics to clarify the basic requirements of each link. Actively explore the basic teaching mode with mathematical characteristics and gradually form a unique teaching style.
Fourth, practice diligently, think more, and be willing to write and accumulate experience.
Actively invest in educational research, explore the law, improve their own education and teaching level, and have papers every year, winning more than the second prize. Constantly use training assignments and requirements to motivate yourself, diligently use your brain to write, accumulate cases in time, summarize materials, leave traces of your own teaching, and write some high-quality teaching experiences, teaching feelings, teaching summaries, as well as ideas and practical experiences of your usual work. This paper puts forward specific requirements for junior high school mathematics teachers' discipline ability, and makes full use of school-based teaching and research, lectures and research, collective lesson preparation, online teaching and research, and discipline teaching and research activities to provide targeted training and guidance, so as to continuously improve mathematics teachers' discipline ability and professional quality.
I hope that after two years, I can reach the planning goal, have a deeper understanding and greater grasp of mathematics teaching, have enough charm to attract students' interest in learning mathematics, really contribute to quality education and improve mathematics scores in an all-round way.
Career Planning of Mathematics Teachers (3)
Mathematics is the language to solve problems and the core of all science and technology. The advantage of receiving mathematics education is that you can freely choose any technical career you can think of. The following briefly introduces some common occupations that students majoring in mathematics can engage in. We will also give some suggestions on how to use mathematics to solve practical problems and succeed in our work. The first question that most students consider is whether to work directly or continue their studies. Let's first introduce the rich employment opportunities that college graduates and graduate students majoring in mathematics can choose. At present, the first choice for students majoring in mathematics is computer programming. It is expected that the demand for competent programmers will continue for quite some time. Mathematics majors are better than the average level of programmers. Employers also know this. To qualify for most entry-level jobs, all you have to do is complete three or four computer courses, including a data structure, and learn a general programming language, such as C, fortran or cobol. A degree in computer science is usually not needed, because there are not enough students majoring in computer science to meet the vacant job requirements. Computer programming is a marketable skill, which can open many doors for you. When you find a job and prove your ability as a programmer, you will find many other opportunities will appear on your own.
Another good job for math graduates is actuarial science. Insurance actuarial companies often hire a good math major only based on students' academic performance at school, but if you are really interested in insurance actuarial science, it is a good practice to pass the first exam of insurance actuarial science (including calculus and linear algebra) before graduation. To be a fully qualified actuary, you need to pass a series of ten exams. Some graduate actuarial courses will help you prepare for these exams, or you can teach yourself. If you have the ability and constantly improve yourself, you can reach the top of this very interesting and lucrative industry in ten years or less. Almost every Fortune 500 company has at least one vice president who is an actuary. There are many opportunities for insurance companies and independent actuarial companies. Actuaries do mathematical modeling for these companies. For people who have a strong interest in business, this is a very good way, and you don't need to pass any courses in business, economics or accounting.
Many students choose to combine their degree in mathematics with their second degree, such as engineering, computer science or accounting. Of course, good students in these majors will have no problem finding a good job. One question he or she may encounter is to what extent all his or her mathematical knowledge will be used in this work. Frankly speaking, there are both good and bad aspects. The downside is that in the first year or two of work, there are few opportunities to use a lot of mathematics learned at school. Everyone has to start somewhere, and most people have to start at the bottom. The most important thing to remember is to put energy and enthusiasm into your work and deal with problems accurately. Considering your work these days, you can test whether you are ready to take on more complicated work. On the bright side, once you pass the introductory stage, there will be many real opportunities to apply your mathematical knowledge to solve important and interesting problems. Of course, you need to prove that you can cope with this challenge.
Now let's discuss some opportunities for math graduates who want to pursue a higher degree. In fact, in all postgraduate training programs, mathematics majors are very popular, especially science and engineering. If you pay attention to most of the cutting-edge work done in these fields, you will find that it involves a lot of mathematics. There is not enough space here to describe the amazing diversity of possible opportunities. We will focus on those fields that are mainly related to the mathematical direction of solving practical problems.
For those who have already obtained a degree in mathematics, further study in mathematics is an obvious choice. If you are interested in solving practical problems, you should seek graduate schools with training programs in applied mathematics, statistics or operational research. Computer science is another attractive choice, for the reasons we have already explained. Smart students majoring in mathematics with a good computing background will find a lot of opportunities to use their mathematical skills in the graduate school of computer science. After graduation, these people will have a strong comprehensive ability in mathematics and computer, and can undertake a variety of practical problems. Statistics is another good choice. Many statisticians start with a degree in mathematics. There are many job opportunities, and their diversity is beyond most people's imagination. Some of the most interesting mathematical modeling work is done by statisticians.
Operational research is a very extensive research field, which includes a large part of mathematical models that we usually think of. It includes the study of cultural issues, queuing theory and storage theory. It is possible to enter this field with a degree in mathematics, but it is best to start with an advanced degree in operational research. The problem here is to find the right direction. Mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering and even MBA usually provide a major or direction in this field. Choose whichever you like, and it won't make much difference which department awards degrees. Different schools have different principles about which department this direction belongs to. Another puzzling question is the name of this direction. Operations research, operations research, management and system science are all different names, but they are essentially the same. Again, it doesn't matter much which name appears on your degree certificate.
If you are interested in scientific research and teaching, you can consider studying for a doctorate. Ph.D. in Mathematics is a degree with a relatively marketable academic background. PhDs who apply some branches of mathematics (such as numerical analysis and partial differential equations) can find good jobs in industrial research laboratories. If you are interested in academic work, you can also consider studying for a doctorate in statistics, computer science or operational research. You will find that your job is mainly math, and the job market will be better. The salary will also be higher. In fact, almost any doctoral program in science and engineering will provide rich opportunities for applying mathematics to solve practical problems. Don't worry about what will limit your imagination. Finally, don't ignore the possibility of a comprehensive doctorate. Mathematical physics, mathematical biology, mathematical psychology and mathematical economics will all give special challenges. You will also start to think about whether to engage in academic work or work. Academic work is superior in lifestyle, while industrial work usually doubles its income. You will stand in a position of choice.
