"Man is also like a child or an elementary school student. If you tell him not to develop his personality and only listen to you and recognize your words as truth, he will not only refuse to use his mind to seek for creativity when he grows up, but also may be a small machine or a complete fool! But it is also possible that once he comes to his senses, he will suddenly rise up and take your life! This is the profound lesson our century, our age, has taught us!"

--Zhou Fucheng, "The Twentieth Century I Experienced"

Saturday, November 3, Weishan County Experimental Middle School in Jining City, China. 2018 Shandong Province, "Internet + Teachers' Professional Development" project of educational research methodology topics Provincial workshop offline site meeting, listening to the county first middle school introduction of the "new college entrance examination background of high school students career planning guidance research" provincial subject opening report, around the issue of high school career education, as well as the issue of research design of the subject, have some thoughts.

Want to start with today's breakfast buffet.

Today's breakfast was sumptuous, with so many varieties that it was hard to choose, and it reminded me of some of the things I ate at the buffet.

In the past, I was in front of the buffet, basically, "every kind of taste", the result is that "every time I eat more", the consequence is that I do not realize that the fat like this.

Then, intentionally control, only pick the favorite food to take. But I like a lot of food, so most of the time or "eat too much", this "fat" has not been reduced.

Then, more and more people say "fat", some were stimulated, intentionally control more strict, like this morning, follow the principle of "do not eat oil", favoring steamed food, ate some boiled corn, yams, carrots, jujube The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't think I'm going to be able to do it without the help of a lot of people.

In fact, this is not the ideal state, perhaps my "fat" has not been really stimulated to the pain, so has not been really hard to reduce. Ideal state should be rushed to the established "hard to reduce" goal, breakfast since not hungry can be eliminated as well? ......

From the development of my buffet choices, we can see the difference between having a plan and not having a plan, and we can see the difference between the implementation of the plan under the guidance of different goals - in this sense, it can be said that the planning of the goals, in fact, is In this sense, it can be said that planning with a goal can actually determine the direction of our actions as well as the corresponding power of action.

In this sense, we can say that planning with goals can actually determine the direction of our actions and the corresponding power of action!

But there is another example.

The venue was crowded and it was difficult to get in and out. So at the beginning, in order to avoid certain emergencies, I was very restrained to drink water, basically just a small mouth to wet the throat a few times. That's a lot of planning, isn't it?

What's more, according to the conference program, after I finish my speech, I should have a break to deal with some personal matters.

This is the first time that I've had a chance to talk about this topic, and it's been a long time coming.

But, just now Director Mann came over and quietly conferred with Mr. Zeng and Director Liu, due to the richness of the meeting time constraints, is it that we do not arrange for that ten-minute break in the middle? ...... Guess how I feel after hearing this news? ...... It seems that in a while I have two choices, either quietly slip out and then gently walk back, or continue to adhere to the premise of strengthening the exercise of certain organ capacity ......

It seems that "planning "is not to be rigid, guidance planning, the same also need to be adapted to the place, time and people, need to be properly carried out research.

This is what I understand the significance of this subject to be.

"To recognize the uncertainty of reality and to know that within it there are unseen possibilities." ([French] Edgar? Complexity Theory and the Problems of Education)

At the risk of being a bit of a nudge, I was thinking of "career planning" by the use of the word "career planning" in the title of the project. From the point of view of a school, how can you choose?

In my understanding, I prefer such an explanation--

Based on the cultivation goal of "self-fulfillment", the school can guide students to consolidate academic planning, understand professional planning, explore career planning, All of these aspects ****together constitute the career planning education we provide to students.

In these relationships, career planning is only a small part of the overall career planning. What I can think of is that the immediate career planning is a direct response to the new college entrance exams, and the poetry and faraway places refer to life planning, which is directed to the goal of education "adult". The point of departure (focus?) for both of them should remain the core of academic learning.

The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't know what to do.

The direction of high school education seems to be oriented towards life planning, with career planning guidance as a carrier, focusing on the cultivation of corresponding awareness and ability, and promoting effective learning with goals, plans, width and depth.

Making sense of such a line, we based on the different positions we are actually in the education process, the choice of topics may be able to find a more suitable angle for themselves, or even a specific node.

"The progress one makes is more remarkable and compact if one does not start out believing that everything will be simpler and easier." ([French] émile? Turgot, Moral Education)

We often say that the starting point of a research project is the problem. But what exactly is the problem we are trying to solve? Is it forced to explore how to do the matter (work) of career planning guidance under the reality of the promotion of the new college entrance examination? Is to solve the problem of how to carry out career planning education in high school?

Perhaps we still need to dig a little deeper -

The new college entrance examination pushed career planning education, pointed to, to solve the problem is what?

What I can think of,

is that the problem I face is that I have to eat and drink recklessly and get fat and then regret it;

it is that we are used to passive acceptance, and we can't choose, and especially we can't choose on our own;

it is that we don't have a sober self-knowledge;

it is that we don't have a broad enough horizon to hear what's going on outside of the window.

The problem is that we don't know what's happening outside of the window;

It is the problem that we can not find a suitable target position for ourselves;

It is the problem that we often have a goal but can not adhere to it, will not adhere to it, and can not find the way;

It is the problem that we are relatively weak in the sense of self-planning and design;

......

In other words, autonomous choice is an awareness and an ability; self-planning is likewise an awareness and an ability. The lack of this has affected the realization of the educational goal of cultivating "complete human beings", and has also made our education a pushover for the "contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced and insufficient development".

This is the problem we need to solve.

From this point on, we are not to carry out career planning education out of thin air, and for the time being, we are not thinking about how to carry out career planning guidance, but from the point of view of the students' awareness of independent choice and ability, self-planning awareness and ability to cultivate and improve, to start our educational thinking and research practice. In this way, a lot of things we should, and can do, may gradually surface -

For example, for the problem of self-knowledge, to explore the content and measures from psychological counseling, classroom management, subject teaching and even professional testing;

For example, around the problem of understanding the society and career, can explore social practice, social service, and professional testing.

For example, we can vigorously strengthen the education of ideals and aspirations. This year's Chinese Education Conference on Teachers' Day confirmed the fundamental direction and task of China's education development in the next step, in response to the idea of getting something for nothing and fantasizing about getting rich overnight, which is represented by the showbiz industry and is very influential among primary and secondary school students. The task of the next step in the development of Chinese education has been confirmed by the conference.

For example, when it comes to academic and professional planning, there is a need for more scientific and targeted guidance on the combination of courses;

This is the first time that the Chinese government has taken the lead in the development of education in China, and it is the first time that the Chinese government has taken the lead in the development of education in China. ......

How can this be interpreted? Let's put it this way, it seems that we can shift our sights from thinking purely and directly about how career planning guidance is conducted to the development and enhancement of the underlying competencies necessary for career and life planning. I am an elementary school comprehensive practical activities teacher and researcher, in our comprehensive practical courses, the more common understanding is not satisfied with the design of a specific activity, not satisfied with a piece of excellent work "production", but more consciously focus on the planning of the development of students' abilities, similar to the core literacy, key competencies of the perspective. For example, in the cultivation of students' self-planning and development ability, we advocate guiding and cultivating the ability of students to organize a house, the ability to design a weekly menu, the ability to rationally arrange a weekend, the ability to quietly plan a parent's birthday party, the ability to plan a graduation ceremony, the ability to organize a parent-child sports meeting ......, etc. All of these activities point to the ability of students to develop their abilities. All these activities point to the ability to eventually bake up, can not migrate to the level of planning academic, professional, career, life?

Perhaps this is a possible path for a truly pragmatic and efficient implementation of career planning education in school education.

What we are looking at and exploring is "not a 'pre-given' objective world, but a world constructed or created by the active behavior of the subject." (Anthony Giddens Giddens, "New Rules of Sociological Method: A Constructive Critique of Interpretive Sociology")

"When a teacher is in a state of no problem, the first task is to explore and dig out the research problem through the above mentioned ways and so on; when the teacher finds a problem and is surrounded by problems, the main task is to choose the researchable problem through the analysis of their own conditions and so on. problems." (Zheng Jinzhou, "How Teachers Do Research")

First of all, it is recommended that the subject group should be careful not to narrow down vocational planning education to the point of "teaching", or even "lessons", and be especially cautious about the preparation of "school-based teaching materials". In particular, we should be cautious about the preparation of "school-based teaching materials". There are too many "lessons", and teachers and students are already overburdened, so why should all education be reduced to "lessons"? There is too much material to learn and discuss, so why weaken the medium of growth to a pale "textbook"? --Once it's anchored in the "class", once it's solidified in the "textbook", the career planning guidance, which is supposed to be vivid and highly personalized, will be "stiff". The "stiff" off, can only become a chicken ribs.

Regarding the educational activity of career planning education, there is no wise a priori "mentor" who can provide any direct guidance. The most important thing is to guide students in the process of observation and experience, feeling and thinking, communication and sharing to grow their own "cognition", why bother teachers in the "class" section of a section of the speech, a line said!

"This method of teaching is effective because it returns to the context of daily life outside the school that causes thinking. It gives the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to call for thinking or conscious attention to the connection of things, with the result that they learn." (Dewey)

"Education should no longer be a stereotyped and programmed activity, in its place should be highlighted the openness, complexity, self-organization, etc. of education. Education should be a social and practical activity in which living beings participate and in which they communicate and collide to produce new ideas, and its essence should not be to cultivate the discoverers and receivers of definitive truths and the inheritors of the dominant culture of society, but to cultivate critics of the dominant culture with individuality and the builders and pioneers of a new culture." (Mogali, "Toward Complexity: The Transformation of Educational Perspectives")

Secondly, it is suggested that the research group should pay attention to the method of literature research. Career planning guidance or career planning education, is not a new thing, but in the new college entrance examination situation, our high school is in urgent need to find their own possible and realistic road.

Literature research is not to a few so-called "better in this area of the school" to visit the exchange can be realized, we need to really calm down, the relevant literature to do some serious collection and collation, generalization and refinement, not to talk about this issue in this area of what in-depth research.

Only by seriously analyzing the relevant literature can we truly stand on the shoulders of giants, stand at the forefront of career planning education, and drill to the deepest depths of the planning and selection of the ability to cultivate.

Where is the big fish if you don't dive into the deep sea?

"The first step in the work of studying a subject, or studying a topic, is to understand what has been studied in the past and the level that has been reached. To do this step, you must be well versed in this study or this one topic bibliography. If this work is not done or not done well, one's research work cannot begin. Because, if you do not understand the past research, do not know what problems have been solved, what problems have not been solved, what problems have been solved to what extent, and rashly start, will inevitably be laughed at. Other people have already solved the problem and you still die gnawing; other people already have good reasons to prove that this road does not work, and you still die drilling more than one, the result is bound to be a waste of energy, the opposite." (Zhang Jie, Yang Yanli "Memories of Chen Yinke")

Finally, on the design of the expected results. The current expression of the subject group is: "1 summary report on the subject; several teaching cases; several teaching and research papers; several teachers' insights on the implementation of tiered teaching class system."

This is like saying "I want to be a good person", a very empty promise, far from realizing the "planning and designing the roadmap", the original intention of the design of the opening program.

The research program at the beginning of the subject research (the opening report), as if the design drawings on the building - design drawings, hundreds of thousands of construction workers from the design program to find their own position, understand their own tasks, and ultimately to present the building is already a "given". The final building is already "established" (tofu dregs project is another matter). However, many of our research program design, as if it is not well completed such a "design task", which is the grass-roots education research project research process requires special attention to a problem.

We need to dig a little deeper -

For example, we should do a good job of preliminary investigation of such a topic. What are the student interests of freshmen and sophomores in the state of reality and the tendency to naturally choose courses based on current interests? Organize a survey, will form a survey report - this "× × × × school freshmen interest and tendency to choose courses survey report" is one of the expected results, and then more specific, members of the group who is responsible for who is responsible for when to complete the ...... so that the expression out of the "expected results", basically do not need to later go to open what scheduling meeting - research design has been assigned to complete.

On the basis of the survey, targeted diversified measures to intervene (school organizations to carry out a variety of relevant educational guidance activities), and finally the actual student interest in cognition, the results of the selection of courses and the college entrance examination admission status and even the college entrance examination admitted to the school's satisfaction with the profession, etc., constitutes another survey content, the same will be formed into a survey report, the same can be determined by the personnel, time, the subject of the An "expected result" - only it, only the comparison of the two surveys before and after, can finally prove that our school based on the assumptions taken by the various "interventions" are effective or not.

This is the kind of clarity that we are looking for in our research design.

Of course, this is something we need to **** together.
