■ Reporter Xu Huiling

What kind of summer vacation homework can stimulate the learning interest of primary and secondary school students? How can children enjoy and be inspired by their homework? Recently, a reporter from Hainan Daily interviewed some primary and secondary school students in our province to find out what kind of summer vacation homework they like the most.

Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles. Xiao Shan, a student at Haikou Experimental Middle School, told Hainan Daily that her favorite homework during the summer vacation was to read world famous books. "Every holiday, the school recommends us some must-read books."

In Xiao Shan's view, reading needs to be combined with intensive reading, especially when reading classic masterpieces, it must be read intensively to taste the ideological connotations, "Every time I 'nibble' on a more professional book, I have a special sense of accomplishment." When reading, Xiao Shan will sort out the after-reading feelings and excerpted notes in an orderly manner, "After a period of time to revisit, there will be different gains." ”

Zhou Mingjin, a student at Sanya School of Renmin University Affiliated Middle School, likes summer vacation homework with strong operability and inquiry. "I like to learn the principles behind some phenomena through scientific experiments." Zhou Mingjin said that one "question mark" after another in his mind was solved in specific operations and practices. This kind of work is hands-on and brain-moving, which can deepen his understanding and memory of theoretical knowledge.

"I like summer vacation homework that is close to life and close to nature." Tang Jiaying, a fifth-grade student at Sanya No. 9 Primary School, said that all subjects are closely related to life, and linking the knowledge learned in books with specific life will make the knowledge interesting and interesting, and make people have a strong interest in continuing to learn.

"For example, when chinese writing involves topics such as seasons and crops, if you don't feel it personally and see it with your own eyes, the articles written will lack a sense of vividness." Tang Jiaying said.

How to let children experience the fun and value of summer homework, especially to complement the learning content in the semester, and improve children's comprehensive quality and ability in an all-round way, has become a problem that many teachers constantly think about. Some experts said that with the change of educational concepts, summer vacation homework is developing in a more interesting, useful and loving direction in order to win the love of more and more students.
