“为理解而教”教学模式的实践探索

Practical Exploration of “Teaching For Understanding”

"为理解而教"是20世纪90年代,由零点项目和哈佛大学教育研究生院联合研发的一种教学模式,2006年开始引入中国,在多个地区开展了教师培训工作。其对深化新课程改革有着重要的现实意义:有利于提高学生的创新能力和问题解决能力,转变教师的教学观和学生观等当前我国课堂教学中的痼疾等优势。但是其在实践中也存在着诸多问题,可以通过提出组织教研小组梳理启发性论题、将学生容易混淆的内容设为理解目标、依据理解的六个层次设计"问题链"、多种渠道收集学生评价信息、营造支持性的课堂教学氛围等策略,提高"为理解而教"教学模式的应用效果。

'Teaching for understanding'is a teaching model developed by Project Zero and the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University.It was introduced into China in 2006 and adopted in a number of provinces thereafter.This paper investigates the applicability of the 'teaching for understanding'model in China.This model is helpful to cultivate students' creativity and problem-solving ability as well as to improve in-classroom teaching.In order to elevate the effectiveness of the'teaching for understanding'model,we should do more things just like to organize teacher groups to develop creative questions for students;to target those that students easy to confuse;to design 'question chain'based on the 'six-tier'of understanding;to utilize multiple approaches to collect students' evaluation on teaching;and to create supportive classroom environment for students.
