Commentator of this newspaper Zeng Younan

Recently, primary and secondary school students in Kunming have successively entered the summer vacation time. It is said that "I am not afraid that my classmates are academic bullies, I am afraid of learning to spend the summer vacation", how to scientifically and reasonably arrange summer vacation homework and adjust the state of learning is a topic that cannot be avoided.

A few days ago, the summer vacation homework of the Hangzhou School affiliated to East China Normal University "let go of itself" has aroused widespread concern. The school's summer vacation homework not only covers subject knowledge, reading ability, physical exercise, housework practice, interpersonal communication, etc., but also adopts the principle of "one Monday layout, one Monday feedback" to ensure that the summer learning is more planned and cyclical. According to reports, such a summer vacation homework is the result of teachers' ability to optimize the design of hierarchical homework, and will pay attention to the academic situation, standardized arrangement, regular inspection, scientific feedback and comprehensive consideration of burden reduction and efficiency.

Specific to the local area, in fact, there is no shortage of such a high-quality summer vacation homework model. The author understands that the summer vacation homework of the first and second grades of the Chuncheng Primary Education Group in Wuhua District is like this - Language: reading for half an hour a day; Mathematics: 4 equations per day; English: learning to sing 3 English songs and reading 3 picture books; Physical education: insisting on exercising every day; Science: exploring science and technology museums or botanical gardens, museums, etc. In fact, from such a summer vacation homework arrangement, it is not difficult for us to see the three elements of good homework: reflecting curriculum standards, promoting thinking development, and rich and diverse forms.

How to make summer vacation homework more enjoyable? Blindly emphasizing play and relaxation, or blindly reinforcing make-up classes, and turning the summer vacation into the "third semester" should not be the proper meaning of the summer vacation. Therefore, the requirements for summer vacation homework are actually the renewal of educational concepts.

First, a re-awareness of the job is very important. Language is no longer reading and reciting the whole text, mathematics is no longer a "one-to-three" type of cramming brushing problems, there is no book mountain questions, not boring and boring, but a reasonable control of the "quantity" of homework, less and fine; strive to improve the "quality" of homework, design high-efficiency homework, fine and accurate.

Secondly, it varies from person to person, layered design. Each child's learning ability is different, for the same knowledge points, some have not learned to understand, some do not have enough to eat. How to use the summer vacation, around the knowledge points learned, arrange a variety of forms of exercises, rather than simple mechanical exercises of the same form of exercises, the teacher needs to design summer vacation homework based on the student situation, such as basic questions, expansion questions, improvement questions and challenge questions, in order to meet the needs of students at different levels.

Finally, do what you can and focus on development. In fact, from the summer vacation homework of many schools, it is not difficult to find that the school is increasingly strengthening the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability, reading ability, labor skills, practical observation, physical exercise, and talking with parents, watching several movies... All constitute an increasingly rich and diverse summer homework content. In addition, from the quantitative point of view, it is within the reach of students, as long as they persist, they can achieve it. And this is the return to education itself, pay attention to and respect the fundamental development of children.

Education is a long run, summer vacation is a break, and the positive effect of summer vacation homework should be to guide students to build the meaning of life, enhance students' positive experience, rest learning state and optimize cognition. Such summer vacation homework will be more flavorful and meaningful.
