The investigation report on the present situation of rural education can be described from three aspects. One is to describe the purpose of the investigation report, the other is to describe the specific process and data of the investigation, and the third is to describe the results and analysis of the investigation report.
Investigation report on rural education 1
This summer vacation, I participated in the social practice activities of "going to the countryside" organized by zunyi normal College in our city with the theme of "bravely shouldering the mission of strengthening the country and building a harmonious home together". In the meantime, we went deep into Zongpingxiang, Daozhen County, Zunyi City for 15 days of social practice. The main contents of the activities include: teaching literacy, cultural propaganda, legal popularization, voluntary labor, agricultural technology knowledge training, social investigation, helping poor students, visiting old party member and taking the Long March again. Among them, I mainly participated in compulsory education and social investigation.
This activity enables us contemporary college students to go deep into the countryside, understand agricultural production, get close to farmers and understand their living conditions. I have a general perceptual knowledge of rural areas, agriculture and farmers in some areas of China, and obtained valuable first-hand information. At the same time, through this activity, our contemporary college students have broadened their horizons, increased their knowledge, exercised their abilities and sharpened their will. It is of great significance to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of patriotism, progress and science in the May 4th Movement, and to turn patriotic enthusiasm and strong desire for success into practical actions for building a well-off society in an all-round way.
This activity is mainly about teaching, so the result is also related to education. The activity results are reported as follows:
The activity of "going to the countryside" is mainly aimed at primary and middle school students living in Pingxiang to make up for their holidays. The teaching content is mainly the main subjects in middle school, and special courses of interest are also offered. I worked as a math teacher in the seventh and ninth grades, teaching for ten days, teaching 2 1 class hour and teaching more than 100 students. During the break, some students were visited at home. Through classroom teaching, home visits and discussions with local school leaders, I have a general understanding of the education situation in rural areas, and made corresponding arrangements and reflections, thus drawing some preliminary analysis conclusions and suggestions.
1, existing problems:
After so many years of new rural construction, coupled with the recent large-scale rural boarding school project, at present, the infrastructure construction of rural education has become increasingly perfect, water supply and power supply is not a problem, classroom teaching AIDS are distributed adequately (for example, multimedia teaching can also be realized), and students' accommodation is also very guaranteed. Therefore, the bottleneck restricting the development of rural education is no longer the problem that hardware equipment can't keep up, but the software. Specifically, the number and quality of teachers in this township middle school are seriously insufficient. First, excellent teachers don't want to come in, and second, they can't stay if they come in. This is the key factor for the long-term slow development of rural education.
Secondly, education is often two-way. On the one hand, school management is needed, but family management will play a greater role. But as far as the survey results are concerned, families have basically not made much contribution to students' education. There are two reasons for this. First, parents are mostly farmers, who are usually busy making a living and have no time to take care of their children's education. If they are left-behind children, their grandparents will have no leisure and energy to educate and manage them. On the other hand, most parents have not received a good education, and they can't give professional guidance to the courses their children are studying now. The so-called heart is willing, but the strength is insufficient.
In the interview, I learned that most rural students don't spend a lot of spare time studying like urban students. On the contrary, the self-discipline ability of rural students is generally not strong, which is mainly caused by the difference of ideas. Therefore, on the issue of how to improve their grades, students and parents draw a unified conclusion from personal experience: strict teachers lead to high grades, and vice versa. This is also in line with the current law of exam-oriented education. Under this educational system, students are not required to have a high degree of autonomy, but to see who is willing to work hard and spend time. As long as you work hard and recite, you will achieve remarkable results. Therefore, in this sense, exam-oriented education has played a considerable role in maintaining Urban-rural Education Fairness. Of course, as we all know, the foundation of rural students is not solid, but according to the survey, the lack of solid foundation is only a scar, and the lack of motivation is a big worry. Because the foundation is not enough, the sheep can still make up for it when they die, and the loss of energy and spirit is a drastic measure. I used to take it for granted that the living conditions in rural areas were not as good as those in cities. People say: get stuck in your heart, worry, and then do it. Children in rural areas study hard to improve and change this situation. However, the actual investigation is far from ideal. What causes the ideological poverty of rural students to be greater than material poverty today remains to be verified. Perhaps it is the relative improvement of rural material life today, or it may be the public opinion function of TV network. In a word, we are facing a very serious problem.
In addition, local protectionism is also a force that hinders the development of rural education. It is understood that local junior high school students generally do not fill in Zunyi key middle schools during the senior high school entrance examination. The reason is not that no one has the strength, but that they fill in high schools outside the county. In case they don't get on the list, even the scores of county high schools may not be able to go to middle schools. Therefore, for the sake of safety, most students have to fill in the ordinary high schools in this county. It is true that the level of students is limited, but it is unfair for students to set up obstacles if the local education department does not encourage them to safeguard their own interests. Poor access to higher education is also a thorny issue.
2. In view of the above problems, combined with local characteristics and overall advantages, the following improvement suggestions are put forward:
First of all, in terms of students, although most students have a weak foundation and low enthusiasm for learning, their qualifications are quite good. Although the material conditions in the mountain village are not rich, there are still some basic material needs to ensure the healthy development and growth of teenagers. Most students are simple and lovely, witty and flexible. Therefore, based on this fairly good objective condition, as long as teachers care more about students, are strict with students, are good at guiding and actively encouraging them, students' academic performance can and will be improved.
In addition, in the teaching process, we also found many excellent teachers with strong professional knowledge and high degree of specialization. Not only that, but some teachers have given up the great opportunity of changing jobs and being promoted, and are willing to take root in this remote place for more than ten years. For this rare teaching resource, the local education department and local government should increase their support and give priority to it. On the one hand, it can improve the treatment of teachers who are firmly rooted in rural areas, on the other hand, it can send them to other places for training to help them better serve local education.
However, the scope and extent of the problems that can be solved by the above two points are limited after all, and this long-term gap must be completely solved through a long-term mechanism. Among them, the leading role is the country's relevant policy tendency and key assistance. In the final analysis, rural problems are poor words, but the core is not poor economy, but poor knowledge, poor technology and poor ideas, and in the final analysis, poor talents. Only by making efforts to let countless intellectuals join the rural construction team in China can this problem be fundamentally solved. However, as far as the employment situation of college students in China is concerned, there is basically no initiative to actively consider going to the countryside for employment. Among them, the responsibility lies not in college students, but in the lack of national policy guidance. There is not enough encouragement to make up for the gap left by the lack of material conditions, and it is reasonable that college graduates are unwilling to participate in rural construction. Fortunately, in recent years, China's attention and investment in this area is constantly strengthening. I believe that with the saturation of urban employment and the arrival of relevant policies and measures, more and more college students will work and live in rural areas, and the gap between urban and rural education will gradually narrow.
To sum up, there are various reasons for rural education problems, among which the most critical factor is the shortage of teachers and the inability to retain talents; The most serious situation is that students' learning gradually becomes less active. It takes a long time to solve this series of problems. In the meantime, we can try to strengthen the traditional strict education methods, which is very important for students to establish a positive sense of struggle. Its fundamental and substantial improvement must be carried out with the strength of the whole country and must be persisted.
Investigation report on the present situation of rural education II
Education plays an unshakable and important role in China's modernization, and our party and government also attach great importance to it. Primary school is the golden age to cultivate good habits, thinking ability and innovation ability. Therefore, laying a good foundation for primary education will play a great role in the study of secondary schools and universities in the future. In recent years, the government has paid more and more attention to compulsory education and invested more and more, and the overall appearance of rural primary schools has also undergone tremendous changes. In order to further understand the development of rural primary education, I went deep into some towns and villages to investigate. From the survey, there are still many problems, mainly including the following aspects:
First, the school is small in scale and its hardware facilities are backward.
Although rural primary schools have made great improvements in school buildings and hardware facilities, there is still a big gap compared with urban primary schools. Due to the limited funds for rural education, many needs cannot be met. Most rural primary schools lack or incomplete computer rooms and multimedia classrooms. The number of books in the library is small and outdated, and the sports equipment is poor. A lot of equipment is just for decoration, and it is often short of funds, so it is impossible to buy new ones.
Second, the professional level of teachers is not high and the workload is heavy.
1, teachers have a heavy burden. There are many older teachers in our rural primary school. These teachers have rich teaching experience, but their teaching methods are backward, and there are great problems in teaching quality. Because rural information is relatively closed and there is little communication with the outside world, primary school teachers' educational concept lags behind and their educational and teaching ability is not strong. Most teachers still use the traditional method of "a piece of chalk+a mouth+a book" to complete their own teaching, while students' "learning method" is still the five-stage method of "listening, writing, reading, reciting and testing". This primitive and backward teaching method not only can not meet the needs of contemporary teaching, but also increases the burden on teachers and students, consumes a lot of time and energy, and achieves twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, rural parents are forced to go out to work because of life, which makes the absence of family education in rural areas serious. Putting all the educational responsibilities that should be borne by families and parents on teachers and schools requires teachers to give more care and care to these students in their study and life, which undoubtedly increases the burden on teachers.
2. Teachers' ideas are backward. Some old teachers are seriously influenced by the inherent traditional teaching concept and are used to using the traditional teaching mode. They are old-fashioned, backward in ideas, weak in reform and innovation, afraid of difficulties, and lack the initiative and enthusiasm to practice curriculum innovation. It is natural to follow the old road of traditional teaching in teaching, which affects the improvement of education quality.
3. Teachers' problems
The survey found that a considerable number of teachers were dissatisfied with their lives (5 1.8%) and relatively dissatisfied (7.8%), and felt great pressure. I summed it up for the following reasons: (1) Unreasonable rural education compilation leads to a heavy workload of rural teachers. (2) Despite vigorously advocating quality education and actively promoting the implementation of the new curriculum reform in recent years, we all know that if the college entrance examination system is not reformed, the test scores that can really change children's fate will be recognized by the people, and the enrollment rate will also affect the survival of the school. Faced with the internal management system of "being laid off" and "leaving people", teachers feel great pressure to keep their jobs. (3) Teacher training is backward. The urgent task is to do a good job in teacher training and improve teachers' quality. The renewal of teachers' ideas and the mastery of teaching materials and curriculum standards depend more on teachers' training. However, at present, there is a general phenomenon that sending training and school-based training are not in place in rural schools. Many school teachers' going out will affect school teaching. Secondly, there is a shortage of funds for running schools and training. School-based training is not in place, mainly because the number of subject teachers in the school is insufficient, and it is difficult to form an atmosphere and ensure the quality of professional training and teaching research. (4) In recent years, the Education Department has imposed many restrictions on teachers in order to protect the rights and interests of students. However, due to the influence of the social environment, students' personality is getting stronger and stronger, their discipline is getting worse and worse, their violent tendencies are prominent, fights occur from time to time, and more and more people are in love, so it is more and more difficult for teachers to organize and manage students. At the same time, influenced by bad social atmosphere, schools and society pay more and more attention to the physical and mental harm of extortion and intimidation to students, which makes teachers often "walk on thin ice".
4. Teachers are backward in self-study and research. The new curriculum emphasizes the openness, intersection, integration and comprehensiveness of subject teaching content. Teachers' traditional professional knowledge reserves can no longer meet the needs of implementing new curriculum teaching. Teachers must strengthen self-study and research, constantly "recharge", constantly enrich and improve their knowledge structure, and regard strengthening self-study and research as the need of career development. However, due to geographical, economic and hardware constraints, rural schools have extremely limited resources for teachers to acquire knowledge and information. Many schools have no internet and lack books. Limited books can't be updated in time, and most of them are out of date. Teachers suffer from lack of information to learn, and self-study suffers from lack of information to consult. Collecting information, perfecting knowledge structure and improving teaching strategies are affected, and new situations and problems encountered in teaching are solved without auxiliary information. In addition, due to the limitation of school learning resources, the achievements of teachers' off-campus training can not be consolidated, digested and understood in time, and can not be internalized and deepened. Over time, the training results are lost. The backwardness of teachers' self-study and research has seriously affected their professional development and quality improvement.
Third, the student problem.
The present situation and thinking of students' autonomous learning, in examining students' learning attitude or initiative, most students have clear learning goals, but most students' learning goals are pressed by parents and teachers, and their grades are highly recognized, and 80% students attach importance to their grades. Among the courses studied, the proportion of students who choose the weakest English is the highest, accounting for 47.67%. But for the question "How do you want to improve", I originally designed four options: review and consolidate by myself, invite a tutor, attend a training class, and others. Results 56.3% students chose other options. After asking, I found that the students thought more ways, including parents' guidance, asking classmates and teachers and so on. The survey shows that 46. 1% of rural students can study hard and persevere in peacetime, but 34.5% of rural students study irregularly in peacetime, mainly relying on overtime before exams to cope with exams.
Through contact with students, combined with my own experience, I think the main factor that restricts rural students' learning progress is that rural primary school students are easily influenced by external factors and need to be constantly urged to study hard. Students attribute the unsatisfactory learning effect to the need to improve their learning methods. However, because 59.3% of rural students generally have to undertake some housework, it is difficult to ensure that they have enough study time. In addition, poor basic education conditions in rural areas, lack of learning resources and backward teachers' educational concepts have also seriously restricted rural students' learning.
Fourth, the problem of parents.
When answering "What do you think of education in your area?" 75% of parents choose "average" and 25% think "poor". It can be seen that many parents are dissatisfied with the local education and send their children to school in the city.
When asked, "How well do you know your children's performance at school?", only 17.5% of parents said they knew, while 20% of parents chose "hardly know". However, when answering "the degree of concern for children's learning", 58.75% of parents expressed great concern. There seems to be a contradiction in this, that is, how can you say that you care about your children's study when you basically don't know their performance at school? I asked some parents about this. It turns out that many parents think that caring about their children's academic performance is all about their children's learning performance.
Reflections on the problems of parents;
(1) Parents have no awareness of family education. Most parents think that education is learning in school, and the problem of students is the problem of school education, so they stay out of it.
(2) Parents have no educational ability. Most parents are only junior high school students at most, do not engage in education, or attach importance to family education, and their ability is quite limited.
(3) The influence of family is greater than that of school. Parents hope that their children can be admitted to "more promising in the future" and "not busy farming in the future". But it may be a variety of factors in terms of conditions and thoughts. The survey found that no parents have the concept of advanced education.
Five, quality education is difficult to implement and curriculum reform is difficult.
Rural education has been shrouded in the shadow of exam-oriented education. Under the restriction and influence of the big environment, teachers take students' high scores as an important goal, and schools also take students' achievements as the only basis to measure teachers' teaching level. Although music, physical education, artistic English and other courses are offered, it is difficult to guarantee that students can't develop physically and mentally in an all-round way, and their knowledge is narrow and their concepts are backward.
The new curriculum specialty is far ahead. Especially after the new curriculum reform, rural teachers who are used to using the traditional teaching mode feel confused and afraid of difficulties in the organization and implementation of the new curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the professional guidance for teachers and give full play to the leading role and radiation role of backbone teachers. Rural schools generally feel that there are too few "sensible" people in the implementation of the new curriculum and their strength is insufficient. Although some teachers have participated in a certain degree of training, due to the influence of their own quality and group environment, the conversion rate of the new curriculum is not high, so it is difficult to turn training income into teaching practice and become the backbone and leader of the school to implement the new curriculum. In addition, due to the regional characteristics, the school curriculum reform lacks regular and effective guidance from the superior business departments. The lack of guidance on the implementation of curriculum reform has restricted the smooth progress of the new curriculum reform in rural schools.
Sixth, the reduction of village-level primary schools has brought inconvenience to students.
Due to poor teaching conditions, backward teaching equipment and other factors, more and more parents go out to work, send their children to urban schools with better teaching quality, and family planning work is also in place, so the number of students is decreasing year by year, and many schools are merged into one. To a certain extent, the merger of villages and schools is conducive to concentrating educational resources and saving educational expenses. In fact, merging schools is not an easy task. It involves students' long journey to school, which hurts the feelings of some villagers and so on. At that time, the merged schools also encountered many difficulties. Later, the government gave each student who went to school for more than 5 kilometers 150 yuan, and the school was merged successfully. However, at present, rural primary schools do not provide accommodation, which brings inconvenience to some students who live far away. Pupils are young, running back and forth every day is not only a waste of time, but also difficult to ensure the personal safety of students. But to live on campus, the school has no dormitory.
7. The gap between urban and rural areas is growing.
Rural primary schools can't compare with urban primary schools in teaching level, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, which can be attributed to five reasons:
1, the crude hardware, that is, teaching equipment, can not create good learning conditions for students;
2. In terms of software, teachers are weak, rural conditions are poor, most young graduates are unwilling to teach in rural areas, the average age of teachers is relatively old, the knowledge structure is relatively old, and the work lacks the passion and vitality of young people.
3. Parents' quality is low, and their awareness of urging their children to learn is weak. Some people even send their children to school and let them stay in school to avoid him running around or running around.
4. Children are naturally fond of playing, and will not spontaneously have interest in learning without proper external pressure.
At present, the social employment situation is not optimistic, and it is common that college graduates can't find jobs. At this time, many migrant workers of the same age have been able to basically maintain their own lives, and many farmers will think that "reading is useless" and "one more college student will have one more poor household". With this understanding and environment, students' enthusiasm for learning will gradually weaken.
To sum up, due to the unbalanced economic development in all parts of the country, the development of rural education is difficult and not optimistic. Rural primary education accounts for half of compulsory education, so we must attach great importance to its disadvantages. If basic education is not solid, developing education can only become an empty slogan. The solution of its problems is also the only way to achieve educational fairness and balance. Otherwise, it is equivalent to losing most of the primary school stage and the foundation of the whole basic education, and there is no quality education for all. Therefore, rural education must keep up with the pace of social development and should not be forgotten by society. "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and you can't suffer from children." How hard it is to really do it! Only by taking measures to completely change the current situation of rural children receiving the worst school education and strengthening and consolidating the weak links in the basic education chain can rural primary education get out of the predicament, lay a solid foundation for the development of rural basic education and promote the development of rural education.
Comrades have two famous sayings: "Leaders who ignore education are immature leaders who lack foresight, so they cannot lead the modernization drive. Leaders at all levels should pay attention to education as much as economic work. " . We must do everything possible to be patient in other areas, even at the expense of a little speed, to solve the education problem well. Basic education is a future-oriented cause, and today's students are the backbone of future modernization. Do a good job in compulsory education, especially in rural areas. Therefore, I call on education departments at all levels and all walks of life to realize the urgency of developing rural education, give more support to rural education, attract more outstanding teachers to rural primary schools, improve the quality of running rural schools, and promote the coordinated development of rural education and economy and society.
The above is what Bian Xiao shared today, and I hope it will help everyone.
