Twelve constellations teaching

"Scorpio: deep thinking, keen vision, deep personality, strong willpower, calm and withdrawn, like narcissism. People in this constellation have a special interest in things that are different and incompatible with each other and like exploratory classroom knowledge. " A few days ago, there was an introduction about constellations in the Baiao weekend forum class of the College of Biological Sciences and Technology of Yangzhou University. All the students who come to class are Scorpio. The reporter learned that this is the newly launched "Twelve Constellation Teaching" of the College. This move made the students very happy, but it puzzled the teachers.

Post-90s students like it very much.

"12 constellation class teachers mainly teach freshmen and sophomores. We divide students into 12 constellations according to the popular distribution method on the Internet. For example, in view of Scorpio students' profound thoughts and keen eyes, organize a lecture on the top ten unsolved mysteries in the field of biological sciences; In view of Taurus students' calm and serious personality characteristics, a classroom explanation on the experimental operation of genetic engineering was organized. "Xu Shui Yu, head of the Twelve Constellation Teaching Method and president of the Science and Technology Innovation Association, said.

Limited teachers and heavy workload

"In the past, in traditional education lectures, we always stipulated that students in a certain class would attend an education lecture on a certain day as planned, which was very rigid. Even though we have arranged a good lecturer, many students are unwilling to attend, and skipping classes is not uncommon. Nowadays, post-90s college students are more open-minded and like popular things, which requires us student workers to innovate the education and teaching mode and actively seek a brand-new education and teaching method suitable for a new generation of post-90s college students, so we adopted the suggestion of Xu Shuiyu, a community cadre, and implemented this constellation teaching method. " Yang Jing, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of College of Biological Sciences and Technology of Yangzhou University, told the reporter.

However, when it comes to curriculum design, the college is very embarrassed, because it has disrupted the previous arrangements, and some courses have to be re-formulated according to students' feedback. On the one hand, professional courses can be negotiated by college teachers, which is relatively easy to solve. Teachers of relevant colleges must be informed in advance of new lectures on humanities and social sciences. "The teaching staff is limited, and some teachers are invited to teach for the first time. They need to re-prepare a lot of classroom PPT and other content, which increases the workload of teachers. " Teacher Yang Jing said. In fact, increasing the workload is not the most difficult. The hardest thing is that many university teachers are born after 60 s and 70 s, and it is a great challenge for them to talk about constellation knowledge with a group of post-90 s students in terms of curriculum adaptation.

The reporter learned that in order to overcome these difficulties, Xu Shuiyu of the College of Biological Sciences and Technology of Yangzhou University spontaneously set up a student group to be responsible for the whole trial of the constellation teaching method, including collecting students' feedback and selecting courses.

Receiving the classroom effect is the key.

"The reason why we overcome many difficulties, try out the constellation teaching method and tailor lectures for students of different constellations is that we hope that university education is more suitable for a new generation of college students. This experiment may be a long-term community activity. Although the scientific nature needs to be explored, students like this kind of activity very much. Their enthusiasm for attending classes is much higher than in the past, and the classroom effect has been achieved. This is the key. " Teacher Yang Jing said.

Many people have affirmed the innovation of constellation teaching method, but some experts who have been engaged in personality research for a long time believe that it is limited to divide 12 constellation into 12 different personalities, and it is obviously not scientific to link birth date with personality, and personality is not necessarily related to birth date.
