Three years ago, has been appraised as a revolutionary, disruptive high school curriculum reform in China, in the hometown of Confucius, Faren. Qilu earth more than 190 million high school students and more than 10 million high school teacher’s fate turn the result of the new curriculum reform. Good schools, a number of conditions, in the reform work hard in practice, its accumulated experience bit by bit, so that the New Curriculum Reform valuable brilliant flashes; there are also some schools waiting to see start to grope in the test, they are confusing and there are all kinds of new curriculum reform suited. Upper secondary education in the college entrance examination is still under the premise of the final evaluation methods, their efforts to find a new curriculum reform, and the best balance point between the entrance examination.
Three years later, in 2007 there have been significant changes in college entrance examination patterns, most notably the addition of “1″ – “basic capability” test. Art in the “1″ in possession of a certain proportion. Faced with this new situation, without warning, and no experience to talk about than other pro forma more severe discipline is even more arduous task. So now, we do know ourselves if it is particularly important. Here is my New Curriculum Reform in the face of the context of a new entrance model, made in the status quo thinking and exploration of teaching and pro forma so that they could be targeted teaching and Notes.
First, we need to first clearly see the current high school art class taught in this region the status quo.
While the new curriculum reform of the chant shouted for a long time, art classes have also been walking in a “mandatory,” the popularity of the road, but because not included in the entrance examination subjects, there is no of schools, teachers and students deserve. While we are aware of the importance of this discipline, it is still so quick results, but also examination-oriented education in the larger environment of helplessness.
Therefore, this subject in general education classes in high school class is normally very small, most of the opening arrangements for high school art class is generally two weeks, a lesson for the class, that class every other week, due to longer intervals of time, knowledge of memorizing and understanding of the system can not do. There was a student told me: This class seriously or not seriously on the result is the same as the time interval for too long, too easy to forget, say, college entrance examination does not test ah! And students at the school where teachers have such an idea in a positive way to get to the bottom is difficult to achieve the ultimate purpose of the New Curriculum Reform to explore and practice new teaching models and new teaching methods.
In addition, because high school art appreciation class to open not long ago, the exploration of the new curriculum reform is still at the exploratory stage, to learn from the successful experience of too little, therefore, teaching a lot of problems naturally arise. Such as: are preoccupied with imparting knowledge, neglect of teaching skills and classroom teaching methods of research and exploration. Under the old model of educational concepts and teaching is still the mainstream of the larger environment, teachers in teaching is usually only scripted on the materials on the teaching materials, teaching methods do not pay attention to, regardless of the link between academic knowledge, not to talk about creative thinking of students form of training. Even fewer teachers because of class, in order to keep things moving along, but the book’s content to students to enable students to draw out memories merely have to go. If only a few names back, or work is to improve the quality of the curriculum will not have to reform. Obviously this is only the surface quality education, but increased the burden of students simply contrary to the New Curriculum Reform in mind.
In addition, our students spend most of the year in the school’s classrooms, social, television, Internet access is too little knowledge of the students usually come only from textbooks, from the mouth to the teachers.
Summing up all the point of view, we have a serious lack of high school seniors who, as an ordinary high school graduates should possess the most basic of social life to adapt to the basic knowledge, basic skills, learning ability and scientific and humanistic quality. New Curriculum Reform in the context of the college entrance examination is bound to have to be able to reflect the new New Curriculum Reform. Our current situation is obvious from the ultimate purpose of the new curriculum reform too far.
Second, we must first in-depth understanding of the new college entrance examination in the context of curriculum reform of basic capabilities, especially fine arts disciplines, test requirements.
High school art curriculum is an integral part of the curriculum. It is for improving the overall quality of the students to develop the students aesthetic ability to develop students innovative spirit and practical ability have a positive effect. New Curriculum for high school art textbook re-planning for the five series, the nine modules. Namely, art appreciation, design, painting, sculpture, computer art, photography, calligraphy, seal carving and technology. Encourage students to feel, experience, participation, inquiring, thinking and cooperative learning activities such as on the basis of further study of basic knowledge and skills in art, experience art learning process and methods conducive to the formation of personal and social emotions, attitudes and values .
“Basic capability” test refers to the new curriculum to high school graduates should possess the most basic of social life to adapt to the basic knowledge, basic skills, learning ability and scientific and humanistic quality examined. Dealing with technology, sports and health, the arts, a comprehensive practical activities, culture and society, science and the six fields; is the knowledge, skills and literacy levels of the three interrelated composition. According to proposition guiding ideology, the “basic capability” test has six characteristics: 1, basic 2, integrated 3, 4-oriented, diversity 5, open 6 times.
Proficiency test in basic occupy a certain proportion of the art of examining naturally also have these six characteristics. Therefore, the art of teaching is not only in the third year period according to the status quo, according to New Curriculum, but also to refer to the “basic capability” test of the six characteristics, and carry out relevant art teaching and pro forma.
Third, the status quo, and entrance requirements, seriously explore the classroom teaching and Notes.
Art teaching and pro forma, we must first change is the concept of teachers, the saying goes “will bear, bear a nest, soldiers, bears, bears one.” The concept of teachers does not change, will eventually lead to complete failure of all students. “With the soldiers will be transferred, without exception, is available in person”, the students is not good, first and foremost the responsibility of teachers. Therefore, teachers must be a sense of lifelong learning, has maintained an open mind, in practice, learning, and constantly for their own classroom research, reflection, eclectic to classroom teaching practice and exploration. And because of the reality where students are not able to reach a wider social environment and more information, so the task of teachers is particularly difficult. Shift in attitudes of teachers is the ability to successfully carry out the premise of teaching and Notes guaranteed.
Second, is to many of the concepts and methods applied to the exploration of teaching. Based on the actual situation with the “basic capability” test features to make our response.
First, the students from the current status of knowledge and ability, it is clear the fundamental subjects of particular importance.
High school graduates should possess the most basic of social life to adapt to the basic knowledge, basic skills, learning ability, practical ability and emotional attitudes and values. The basics of our high school students who are still relatively solid, and their emotional attitudes and values can also enjoy the classes given in daily contact indoctrination. But the basic skills and practical ability is relatively weak in some. This requires practical training in order to solve this problem, therefore, it is imperative that teachers must change their concepts, to change the past, appreciate the lessons taught in the classroom model of the pure.
In addition, the New Curriculum emphasis, teachers are partners in student learning, guide and participant in the teaching process is teacher-student exchanges, joint development of the interactive process. This is also the basic guarantee for achieving discipline.
According to the guiding ideology of our proposition we can see, the “basic capability” test involves very broad. While not inscrutable, but the mechanical rote learning is simply difficult to cope with the training. The test stress from daily life and school life in the selection of materials and content, focusing on the basic issues, social, composite and openness. Or whether it is art or other subjects, are not directly examine the students the knowledge and memory ability, but through the provision of new materials or problem situation from the grasp of the knowledge and skills transfer perspective of examining the basic competencies of students with literacy, rather than skills, as would knowledge to examine. Skills, the subject of the design disciplines are requiring students to possess a certain degree of practical experience and a certain degree of skill training, otherwise it is difficult to understand the subject material and situations, it is difficult to solve the given problem. Over the past teachers “a statement” “Man Tangguan” approach is only suitable for rote textbook writing. Can not really achieve the true master of knowledge.
So teachers as partners in student learning, guide and participants must focus on experience and achievement in order to solve this problem. Because art is a focus on experience and practical subjects. Therefore, we in the general high school art teaching process, we must strive to appreciate and experience, appreciation combined with hands-on practice, to fine arts students practical ability to guide the students to hands-on practice, in art activities to raise the idea, creativity, modeling, performance, design and fabrication capabilities.
A result of classroom time is short, so I usually try to enable students to memorize the concept of reducing the time, set aside some time to get involved, through practice to enhance their beauty and the concept of understanding and appreciation of all kinds. For example, I talk about when compared to the East-West perspective, I will leave time for students, with different perspectives approach the performance of their new home. According to their own preferences and to express their own colored mood at the moment. In this way, students will be in a positive thought and expression, understanding of perspective, but also tried to express the psychology of color, the color has also been a deeper understanding and awareness. Also achieved the skills practice. In addition, I also paid attention to the lectures of art concepts and art through the use of terms and guide students to the arts development of the concept of change and its relationship with the relationship between creative practice; to encourage students in art appreciation and technique exercises and creative practice, the use of art term thinking, communication, discussion, deepen their understanding of art terminology, improve ability to apply it.
Second, the face of new entrance model, knowledge integration is an urgent need.
We are from the 2007 “basic capability” test-like questions can see that both disciplines within the comprehensive, integrated hot issues, or different disciplines, a comprehensive, all tell us is not mechanical integration is by no means put together, but between the various disciplines of organic penetration. If the only mechanical piece together, even if the new curriculum reform must not be real reform. The starting point is the integration of the knowledge, skills and social life in some concrete and organic link with the aim of through a multi-disciplinary knowledge and ability to interact each other license to interpret the natural or social phenomena, to solve practical problems.
In this way, our classroom is also facing a new revolution, a new task – must be able to do the non-art fields and disciplines of knowledge of nature to infiltrate into the classroom.
Or, some people may think that this will erase the boundaries between disciplines, however, this is the basic capabilities of the characteristics of college entrance examination and self-discipline arts in New Curriculum requirements.
In fact, the art education is to promote the intellectual development to foster innovative capacity, an important means of ideological and moral education, not inconsistent with other disciplines. Also can be done to promote each other knowing each other. So, faced with an urgent need to integrate the status quo, and art classroom to their own needs, I try to put music into the art classroom. Music has a strong emotional contagion role in art class in music education can be cited accordingly, will be better assisted teaching. For example, in appreciation class, we create a romantic while listening to Beethoven’s music, aside to let the students themselves to analyze the romantic appreciation of admire paintings and sculptures representative of the classic works, the same passion, the same sensibility. Music is the melody in the rhythm of painting, music, painting in the spirit is the spirit, so that students emotionally resonate, not only enhanced the children’s aesthetic taste, but also the organic combination of musical knowledge. The modernist painting in my review when it is first put some jazz or rock, and then let the students according to music, not limited to, the performance of techniques to hear everything. Finally come to enjoy Mondrian’s “Broadway Jazz” and Kandinsky’s paintings about music, students naturally understand the abstract painting, and impressive.
Of course, I shall attempt to lesson content is also connecting with other disciplines. For example, review the history of the world’s second-class art sculpture “Discus Thrower” when associated with sports and health, the aesthetic of ancient Greece and ancient Greek history, culture and the prevailing economic, geographic well on the Olympic history and the knowledge of the natural hot spots were out, I usually allow students to collect and then discusses the concluding remarks county, finally, I would like to add. Students naturally right knowledge impressive.
In addition, I also tried talking about Chinese painting and literature combine penetration, dissemination of traditional culture and ideology, and mobilizing students to develop thinking, imagination, and cultivate a noble aesthetic sensibility. Explanations of modern sculpture in China, also seek to develop students virtually patriotic sentiment and establish a love life, and create a better life passion. Each lesson has a knowledge of the relevant contact.
Art class, we attach such importance to the linkages between disciplines, it seems a waste of time for learning of this subject, but it is precisely the ability to test the basic features of demand. And it is also very beneficial to students in the creation of divergent ways of thinking. That affect their thinking or looking at things after the methods and results.
From the perspective of integrated curriculum, art and common sense to explore a combination of learning activities designed to break the teaching interdisciplinary closed state, the students placed in diverse situations, the more effective solution to the issue of interdisciplinary knowledge, fragmented and useful the student to establish a reasonable knowledge structure, master scientific approach to boost their own problems are identified, problem-solving skills, stimulate the inquisitive mind, to develop a realistic attitude. As the “I” Wen said: “Teach One to fish, rather teach him to fish”: and the students learned to use various forms to express what they see, feel, think, strengthen the comprehensive ability to express. Has also mobilized the enthusiasm of the students so that they become passive learning to active learning. This learning process is also happy.
In order to assist the integration of classroom knowledge, our school has set up a weekly study group out of a very distinctive tabloid published by the teachers to identify hot topics, from teachers and pupils use the Internet, in order to find different areas of the topic links and described. For example, one issue of the theme: One World, One Dream. And around this one theme, we make full use of the Internet, search out the relevant knowledge, it can examine the sports knowledge, sports and moral habits, the birthplace of ancient Greek history and culture and development issues, and thus can also examine the sports complex the design, posters design, the management of traffic routes during the competition, communication reports the theme of the design, souvenir design and development of classical music and the Olympic Games and the calendar year, the theme song and the author introduced the Olympic Games and the Chinese economy, the Olympic Games and China environmental protection, and thus Green Olympics concept of green food mark identification, design and presided over the opening ceremony, intellectual property and many other aspects of knowledge and ability, thus bringing the sports and health, culture and society, art, technology integration and comprehensive practical activities such as a theme in the same situation carried out multi-angle examined. So, “a practice week,” has become student’s “Kaleidoscope.” Like the different things in various fields and knowledge to the students described more than a knowledge of different aspects, but also a way of thinking.
Therefore, the art of teaching art classes can not be limited to knowledge, but should have knowledge of the expansion and academic contacts, because this is not only the students of new learning methods and ways of thinking, but also the basic proficiency requirements.
3, in the new curriculum reform in the context of the new college entrance examination, which will focus on the candidates propositions designed multi-examine thinking and innovative ability, the answer must have a certain degree of openness and diversity. The contents of examination papers must be pressed to be close to the candidate’s daily life and school life, reflecting the changing times, reflect the spirit of the times. So, we try to put the proposition openness, diversity and the characteristics of the times the integration of learning in the knowledge of which natural infiltration. For example, on the Olympic-themed “week, a practice” where the relevant knowledge.
Finally, we must attach importance to the teaching tools and resources make full use of the study and teaching methods. Allocation of adequate resources and good teaching and learning teaching methods will enable us to have a multiplier effect.
First, we make full use of modern tools and online teaching resources for art education. For example, with regard to all areas of Olympic-related knowledge, we allow students to directly face the network to search, this search, the process of preservation, but also to information and knowledge to penetrate into the art classroom. The knowledge and search of the finishing process is to develop students self-learning process. There are paintings on the canvas like a strange species, we are also able to achieve through the audio-visual presentation of cognitive outcome.
Second, focus on the creation and collective cooperation to create a combination. Usually we require students to make a personal work of art unique insight, using different materials, tools and methods unique creation, but also some art learning activities, such as the city’s image design, school website design, you need to play a collective the wisdom and strength, a division of labor to complete. .
3, in the face of art in different learning activities in the application of general teaching methods, based on the study should address the characteristics of art, emphasis on the study of new teaching methods to guide and encourage students to self-study, Research-based learning and cooperative learning. For example, we let in the winter when the students to a village as a team and work together to collect the traditional Chinese culture and folk art related cultural products and works of art. And finally write a summary and thoughts.
Fourth, teachers and students should be based on actual teaching situation, the implementation of an open nature, and can promote the development and improvement of teaching students as well as to promote the continuous development of art curriculum and methods of evaluation index. Evaluation of the students can not be a universal standard. Because that is bound to stifle the students a unique and innovation. Is also contrary to the basic competency test openness, diversity of features.
Although, we is weak, but we still can not resort to extreme sea-examination routines and tactics to deal with problems at the new entrance of new curriculum reform, because that’s the old way does not help the new college entrance examination. Also poles apart from the spirit of reform.
Experts said the new test shows a clear benefit high school new high school curriculum reform objectives, correctly handle the new curriculum reform and organizations to promote the first time to participate in curriculum reform the relationship between the entrance and prevent the rate of one-sided pursuit of further studies, establish a sound curriculum management and teaching management system, and promote student moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic development of the healthy growth of students to create a better learning environment.
Needless to say, entrance examination pattern is bound to affect the new changes would also further promote the progress of the new curriculum reform. Will truly achieve the new curriculum reform.
