有幸在通过中原名师李朋云的工作室了解到今天下午的经典共读信息,下午参加了河南师范大学王彩琴教授带领的研究生团队“芹菜园读书社”的经典共读活动。这次彩琴导师选的书是Understanding by Design,即《追求理解的教学设计》
下面是书的内容简介
Understanding by Design is a book written by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe that offers a framework for designing courses and content units called “Backward Design.” Instructors typically approach course design in a “forward design” manner, meaning they consider the learning activities (how to teach the content), develop assessments around their learning activities, then attempt to draw connections to the learning goals of the course. In contrast, the backward design approach has instructors consider the learning goals of the course first. These learning goals embody the knowledge and skills instructors want their students to have learned when they leave the course. Once the learning goals have been established, the second stage involves consideration of assessment. The backward design framework suggests that instructors should consider these overarching learning goals and how students will be assessed prior to consideration of how to teach the content. For this reason, backward design is considered a much more intentional approach to course design than traditional methods of design.
This teaching guide will explain the benefits of incorporating backward design. Then it will elaborate on the three stages that backward design encompasses. Finally, an overview of a backward design template is provided with links to blank template pages for convenience.
看到这么多内容,又有这么多单词不认识,是不是很头大?的确,我第一次看到书中的Preface的时候,我就有些沮丧,想读一本专业书籍的热情似乎被泼了一盆冷水,因为至少有10%的单词我是不认识的,我必须一边阅读一边使用手机查单词,有些单词看着认识,但是放在句子中又不知道咋翻译了。这真叫我有些难堪,一个英语专业毕业的学生,竟然看不懂英语专业书籍,情何以堪?但是彩琴老师却鼓励我,她说阅读中不认识单词很正常,她的研究生在阅读的时候,也需要查单词的意思。不过,不是所有的单词都要认识的。她的鼓励给了我继续跟读的勇气。
下午的经典共读由研究生李佩仪主持,王彩琴教授为我们邀请到了李哲老师来领读第一章的内容。
无论是主持人还是领读的李哲老师都很厉害。主持人李佩仪曾经在河南省组织的大学生教学设计比赛中获得一等奖。李哲老师是许昌市建安区第三高级中学教师/建安区高中英语教研员。中原名师;河南省教师教育专家;全国外语教师园丁奖;省、市级优质课一等奖;全国说课比赛一等奖;许昌市中心教研组成员;河南省学业水平考试命题组成员; 许昌市五一劳动奖章获得者;多次获省、市基础教育教学成果奖。
一直致力于提高河南英语教师水平的王彩琴教授在研究生的培养上非常用心,河南师范大学外国语学院不仅聘请了很多一线的中原名师来研究生班授课,而且也邀请了河南各地的中原名师来“芹菜园读书社”参与分享和交流,这样做不仅弥补了研究生做研究时的实践经验方面的短板,也让中原名师和很多一线教师从与这些研究生的碰撞中擦出火花,并提高自身的专业理论水平。可谓一举两得。这样研究生走出校门时不仅有了一定的研究水平,而且也吸取了一线中原名师的实践经验,他们上岗以后就可以实现教学与教研两条腿走路。
下午李哲老师主要为我们分享了Introduction部分和第一章的内容,backward design 逆向设计。
