On the evening of July 19th, the person in charge of the relevant departments of Zhuolu County Committee confirmed to the reporter of The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the local official of Zhuolu County had released a message on July 5th that the county government attached importance to education and fully respected public opinion, and it was decided by the meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Committee.Completely stop the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode in primary and secondary schools in the county.
On July 12th, an article entitled "Speech of Director Hao’s Passionate Resignation in Zhuolu County" was widely spread in local online forums in Zhuolu County.
In this resignation speech, Hao Jinlun made it clear: "In view of the current situation, I support it with both hands, but I will not lead this work."
On the evening of July 19th, Hao Jinlun, the former director of Zhuolu County Education and Science and Technology Bureau, confirmed to The Paper the authenticity of the above-mentioned online articles, and confirmed that he had resigned as the director and party secretary of Zhuolu County Education and Science and Technology Bureau on July 12th. At present, there is no plan for the next step.
In the evening, the person in charge of the relevant departments of Zhuolu County Committee said in an interview with The Paper that the implementation of the classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" in primary and secondary schools in the county was very hasty, and many parents of students disagreed. After research and decision by the county party Committee and county government, this mode was completely stopped.
The person in charge of the relevant departments of the above-mentioned county party Committee said that Hao Jinlun, director of the Education and Science and Technology Bureau, who promoted the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching model, has resigned, and the newly appointed leaders of the Education Bureau will also have a new model in teaching reform.
Hao Jinlun interacts with students.
Resignation feeling: Wan Li marched, looking back, going deep alone.
Hao Jinlun (1973), 43, worked as the secretary of the township party committee in Zhuolu County for many years. In August 2013, Hao Jinlun "upgraded" the county-level departments and became the director of the Education and Science and Technology Bureau and secretary of the Party Committee.
Hao Jinlun told the The Paper reporter on the evening of July 19, 2016 that the manuscript of resignation speech circulated on the Internet was posted on the Internet by some teachers who spoke out for themselves, and they only learned it later. The implementation of teaching reform is in response to the call of the state, but the reform of "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode in primary and secondary schools in Zhuolu County is not smooth, and some parents of students are opposed.
Hao Jinlun said in his resignation speech: "Under the current situation, the county party committee stopped the teaching reform in the county. I think this is a last resort. As party member, I support it with both hands. However, in the next time, no matter how long it takes, such as full-house irrigation, sea tactics, and brutal posting of results to children, it seems to me that Hao Jinlun is misleading children, even for a month, I can’t accept it. Therefore, knowing that it is wrong, this director can’t do it. This is my bottom line! Therefore, in view of the current situation, I support the restoration of traditional classrooms, but I will not lead this work. "
In his resignation speech, Hao Jinlun described his current situation with "going deep alone". Hao Jinlun said: "The events of these two days have made me feel that I have very few bosom friends. On the road of reform, only dozens of principals and I, as well as some teachers who supported us, chased the Huns in Wan Li! Wan Li March, looking back, alone, that is, no reinforcements, and no hay! Few bosom friends! I feel like the desert is chasing the Huns. Looking back, the reinforcements are gone, the grain and grass are cut off, and I am alone! "
In his resignation speech, Hao Jinlun also revealed that he was concerned about the voice against the education reform: "Think about it, in the past two years, it has become a fashion to scold the suspected classroom and scold the director. If you don’t scold me Hao Jinlun in Zhuolu, it is simply a layman! In the past two years, we have risen up and reformed, and we always feel lonely running and shouting. Zhuolu bar, as well as teahouse and restaurant, has become a fashion to scold’ three doubts and three explorations’ and scold myself, as if anyone is out of date without scolding twice. "
The voice of opposition clearly made Hao Jinlun feel "wronged".
In his resignation speech, he said: "I want to say that many parents and students who have benefited have become the silent majority. I have nothing to say! Two days ago, angry people on the street made banners, which made my lofty sentiments disappear; Let my enthusiasm fall like icehouse! I saw those people on the third floor so excited and hoarse that my heart was bleeding. I thought: Why am I here? In this incident, many participants did not have children at home. In addition, parents in Shixiaohe town account for more than 90%. These two schools have not engaged in’ three doubts and three explorations’ this year, but their teachers’ own small model. "
At the end of his resignation speech, Hao Jinlun thanked his supporters.
Hao Jinlun said, "In the process of implementing the curriculum reform, I am only a participant, coordinator and witness, not a leader. At this moment, seeing the familiar faces and kind eyes of all of you here makes me feel warm and kind. I am very grateful for your support, understanding and love. When Hao was black and blue, the comfort and greetings from the principal and the first-line ordinary teachers made me feel warm and moved. "
Hao Jinlun promoted a number of educational reforms during his tenure, and nearly 100 parents demanded that he be removed.
On the morning of July 20th, Hao Jinlun said in an interview with a reporter from The Paper that according to the teaching reform mode of "independence, cooperation and inquiry" proposed by the Ministry of Education, many teaching methods have emerged in China, and the classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" is one of them, which originated from Xixia County, Henan Province.
According to the news released by official website of Zhuolu County Government in February 2014, the classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" introduced by Hao Jinlun was supported by Jia Bin, member of the Standing Committee of Zhuolu County Committee in charge of education. In order to continue to strengthen the promotion of efficient classroom teaching mode, improve the quality of education and teaching, and build a strong education county, Jia Bin requested to visit Xixia County, Henan Province.
According to China Education News, since 2003, Yang Wenpu, the former director of Xixia County’s teaching and research section, has led the county’s teaching and research staff and some primary and secondary schools to explore the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode, and under the leadership of the county education bureau, has carried out classroom teaching reform in all junior high schools and primary schools in the county, and achieved very good results.The classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" includes four links, namely: setting doubts and exploring by oneself, solving doubts and exploring together, exploring doubts again and expanding by application.
This model is closely related to the words "doubt" and "exploration". Through the relatively fixed teaching links such as the combination of questioning and inquiry, students are encouraged to learn to ask questions on their own initiative, think independently and explore problems in cooperation, and at the same time develop good qualities and habits of daring to question, being good at expressing, listening carefully, being brave in evaluation and constantly reflecting.
On February 20, 2014, Hao Jinlun introduced that in 2013, the County Education Bureau introduced two teaching modes, namely, learning ability and thinking visualization, and in 2014, it will introduce the classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" in Xixia County, Henan Province.
Hao Jinlun introduced at that time that in May 2014, experimental classes were set up in primary and secondary schools in Zhuolu County, and the classroom teaching mode of "three doubts and three explorations" was started.
According to official website of Zhuolu County, on the evening of July 15th, 2015, Zhuolu County Education Bureau held a parent-teacher conference for students in urban schools in experimental primary school, and more than 2,000 parents of some students in urban schools attended the conference. Hao Jinlun of the Education Bureau introduced the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode introduced by the Education Bureau to all parents of students.
Hao Jinlun pointed out at the above-mentioned parent-teacher meeting that the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode was vigorously introduced and implemented in the county under the County Education Bureau, in order to improve the classroom teaching level, stimulate students’ learning motivation and interest, and improve students’ academic performance, so that the quality of education and teaching in the county will make a qualitative leap in two to three years. The application of this mode in the classroom will completely change the dull, boring and inefficient cramming classroom teaching mode, and make classroom teaching truly become a "knowledge supermarket"
In addition to the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode, public reports show that Hao Jinlun also popularized new methods such as thinking visualization technology, learning ability topics and metacognitive psychological intervention technology during his tenure as director.
In addition, under the impetus of Hao Jinlun, Zhuolu County has conducted a professional course examination for teachers and researchers every semester since the second half of 2014.
The mode of examination is to give teachers a set of questions with new curriculum standards, or to take a test on questions that teachers have seen, and see how many points teachers can get in reading and writing. The same is true in high schools, junior high schools and primary schools. At the same time, teachers’ test scores are published on Zhuolu Education Information Network.
According to official public information, the education reform in Zhuolu County has been recognized by at least some leaders of education departments and insiders.
According to a news from official website, the Zhuolu County Government, in November 2015, the "Three Steps" inspirational education general research group of the 11th Five-Year Plan of the Ministry of Education and the "All-round Tutorial System" of the 11th Five-Year Plan of the Chinese Education Association hosted the "Three Steps" inspirational education national on-site meeting and "Three Steps" of Zhuolu Middle School in Hebei Province, co-organized by Zhuolu County Education Bureau, Zhuolu Middle School and Zhuolu County Hope Middle School. More than 600 moral education experts, school leaders and teachers from 53 counties and cities across the country attended the conference.
During the meeting, the participating experts and teachers’ representatives visited the characteristic contents of the "Three Steps" inspirational education for Zhuolu Middle School students, and inspected the implementation effect of the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom in Zhuolu Middle School. Zhuolu Middle School’s excellent teaching facilities, clean campus environment, rich campus culture, good class spirit, school spirit and excellent service left a deep impression on every participant.
Hao Jinlun told reporters in The Paper on the morning of July 20th that the traditional teaching curriculum has done too much harm to children, and he thinks it is unscientific to teach students like Hengshui. The mode of "three doubts and three explorations" is a practical form of autonomous learning, cooperative learning and inquiry research, which is very different from the past when students waited to "pour" into their mouths. He thinks this model is very good, and all experts think it is very good, but laymen are full of anxiety.
However, some parents of students don’t buy the educational reform promoted by Hao Jinlun.
A number of local teachers and school leaders in Zhuolu County told The Paper that some parents of students did not recognize the local education reform and expressed strong opposition.The parents of these students think that there are not enough lectures in the classroom after the curriculum reform, and hope to return to the traditional mode of "full hall irrigation, sea tactics and exam ranking".
The Paper reporter learned that nearly 100 parents of students in Zhuolu county reflected this problem in the county bureau of letters and calls in early July because they opposed the "three doubts and three explorations" classroom teaching mode, and demanded that Hao Jinlun, director of the county education and science and technology bureau, be removed.
On the morning of July 20th, Zhang Biao, the new party secretary of Zhuolu County Education and Science and Technology Bureau, told The Paper that the education reform is an eternal subject, and no matter what stage, it will definitely follow the educational laws and aim at improving the overall quality of students. As for how to reform the education system in Houbian County, it is still being studied.
At noon on July 20th, Yan Wanglin, secretary of Zhuolu County Party Committee, told The Paper that the reasons for stopping the teaching reform of "three doubts and three explorations" in the whole county were complicated, and how to change the teaching content in the future was being studied in a meeting.
