教学评价
今天的课程,我们深入探讨了《School life in the UK》这一主题。整体上,我认为这次的课程是成功的,但也有一些地方需要改进和调整。 成功之处: 1、分组活动 分组活动非常成功,学生通过共同探讨,加深了对文本的理解。不同小组负责不同段落的策略,确保每个学生都有发言和参与的机会。 2、批判性思维 在课程最后关于比较中英学校生活的讨论中,我看到了学生批判性思维的萌芽。他们不仅比较了两种不同的学校生活,还提出了自己的看法和想法。 需要改进之处: 1、时间管理 我觉得在某些活动上花了太多时间,导致课程有些匆忙。特别是在分组活动中,由于每个小组都有任务要展示,时间把控稍有不足。 2、写作活动 虽然学生在写作活动中表现得很好,但还可以提供更具体的写作指南或示例,引导学生更好地表达自己的想法。 Critical thinking的引导深度 虽然我提供了开放式问题,但在引导学生思考的过程中,问题思考深度还有待挖掘,可以从文化评价和适应、教育制度和方法的比较、个人成长和发展或跨文化交流的价值这几个方面来更深入地进行思考和交流。 如为什么中国和英国的学校文化会有差异?这些差异是如何影响学生的学习和生活的?如何有效地适应一个全新的学校文化和环境?这样引导学生不仅认识到文化差异的存在,还能探讨这些差异背后的根源和影响,以及如何面对和适应这些差异。如跨文化交流对学生的价值是什么?如何克服跨文化交流中可能出现的困难和挑战,实现有效的沟通和学习?亦能帮助学生认识到跨文化交流的价值,探索如何在不同文化背景下建立有效沟通和相互理解。
