Thoughts on coming to Three Gorges Water Conservancy and Electric Power School

School is a place to teach people to be human-the great educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi said so. And today's secondary vocational schools how to teach students to be human? What kind of person are you? -No source.

By chance, the reporter learned that as early as three years ago, Chongqing Three Gorges Water Conservancy and Electric Power School sincerely followed the teachings of Mr. Xingzhi, taking teaching students to be human and what kind of people to be as the most sacred duty, and practicing the "eight themes" of comprehensive quality education according to the persistence of time and tenacious resilience.

What are the "Eight Themes"? What are the charms of the eight themes?

Implementing all-round quality education in the "eight major themes"

The enlightenment of "Eight Themes" comes from a trip to Jiangsu by Chen Xiaokang, president of Chongqing Three Gorges Water Conservancy and Electric Power School. In September 2004, President Chen visited Suzhou Industrial Park. Flat and spacious roads, pleasant greening, standardized and tidy factory workshops, modern equipment, neat dormitories inside and outside, well-dressed and polite employees … The industrial park shines with the light of contemporary civilization everywhere!

Can your students be accepted by this park? Can you stand here? A chill went straight to President Chen's mind, and the answer wasno. He was keenly aware that the distance between students and the park was tortuous and long, just like the source and mouth of the Yangtze River. The fact told him with a cold face that what students lack is the comprehensive quality that conforms to contemporary civilization. Indeed, many of them are "left-behind children" in rural areas today, growing up with grandparents who only know how to feel distressed and accommodate; Poor learning foundation and poor behavior habits; No good hygiene habits, even unwilling to do personal hygiene; When you meet a teacher, you are either a fellow traveler or afraid to avoid it; Accustomed to throwing, spitting and pouring; School rules and regulations are like a dead letter; Values, outlook on life, how to be a man and what kind of person to be are blank.

The civilization of industrial parks not only shows students' all-round foothold in society, but also shows the failure of many secondary vocational schools today. So, is your own school a good vocational school? So, is the principal in the teaching staff a qualified vocational educator? So ...?

The sense of responsibility, mission and urgency drives people in Three Gorges Hydropower School to reflect deeply. A big debate was held at all levels of the school. After two months, the concept gradually changed and the thinking gradually became clear.

A new concept was born, which said: it is not only the need of society, but also the unshirkable responsibility of the school to cultivate people with high comprehensive quality in line with contemporary civilization; Management is not equal to all-round quality education, it is only a part of it; Moral education is not equal to comprehensive quality education, which is broader in connotation, more practical and more practical than moral education.

The new concept gave birth to the "eight themes" of quality education.

Make students form three good habits-love cleaning, stress hygiene, and form good cleaning habits; Abide by school rules and discipline and develop good behavior habits; Respect teachers, be polite to others and develop good manners. Cultivate students' three kinds of positive consciousness-stressing neatness, stressing image and cultivating self-esteem and self-love; Love learning, strive for progress, and cultivate enterprising consciousness; Take good care of public property, protect the environment and cultivate public morality consciousness. Establish two noble spirits of students-team spirit of loving the collective and stressing unity; Emphasize thrift and hard work.

Since then, the Three Gorges Hydropower School has opened the curtain of systematic and endless quality education and embarked on a sacred and difficult journey of educating people to lock in contemporary civilization.

The "eight themes" consider the loyalty and will of educators.

People in the Three Gorges Hydropower School proudly told reporters: Without tenacious will, we should not gnaw at the hard bone of quality education. But the reporter believes that they not only have strong will, but also are loyal to the cause of education, which is the perfect combination of the two.

All bad behaviors and habits are not formed in one day, nor can they be corrected in one day. It takes time to temper and improve students' quality, and it also requires unsuccessful baptism again and again. They are just a group of ordinary students, who have done it today and can't do it tomorrow. They have done it this week and will do it again next week. I did my job this semester, and I'm still the same when I come back from vacation. Educators have long been accustomed to this and fully understand it. Bad habits are hard to change! Who told me that I was willing to chew this hard bone?

Since March 2005, the educators of the Three Gorges Hydropower School have held a regular education meeting at 9: 00 a.m. every Monday to review last week's educational work and arrange this week's tasks. The contents of the weekly education work arrangement are not less than six; Conscious inspection of school-level cadres every week; The Education Department organizes a major inspection every week; Monthly summary of educational work; Carry out one-week military training with education as the main content in each period; A small lecture on the theme of education every week; Every period requires school-level cadres and middle-level cadres to take comprehensive quality classes in their classes ... followed by a series of "every period" and "every week", like powerful notes, playing the main theme of quality education with the loyalty and tenacious will of educators.

How many times have students' bad behavior habits rebounded in the past three years? Countless. However, educators are still tirelessly repeating an educational theme every week: the first week, love cleanliness and pay attention to hygiene; The ninth week loves cleanliness, the second week respects teachers with courtesy, and the tenth week respects teachers with courtesy. ...

"Eight Themes" Create a New Realm of Quality Education

If the "Eight Themes" only stay on the slogan, it will completely violate the original intention of the introduction, and it is impossible to produce good educational results. In order to find the supporting point of each theme, make it change from abstraction to image, from preaching to action, and be highly integrated into students' daily life, the educators of Three Gorges Hydropower School have racked their brains.

Love cleanliness and pay attention to hygiene-the school requires students to clean public areas, classrooms and dormitories every day; Everyone must prepare toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and other sanitary products; Nail clippers are hung in the bedroom with a sticker saying "Please clean your nails"; Ask students to change clothes frequently and send teachers to guide students to wash clothes; Advocate gargling in the morning and evening, and make it mandatory to gargle in the morning; Cleaning and hygiene should not only be subject to weekly spot checks and major inspections by the school, but also be subject to the usual supervision organized by the Youth League Committee and the Student Union.

Love learning and strive for progress-the school stipulates that each subject must have a special notebook, and the notebooks of this subject are unified in the whole class. The teacher urges the class to take notes, and the academic affairs office and the academic affairs office check regularly; Set up study groups in each class and have activities once or twice a week; The academic affairs department arranges reading activities for each class in a unified way; Reading in the library after class; Each major holds the preliminary contest and the final contest of skill competition; Set up skill interest groups to standardize activities; Hold note competitions and homework competitions every issue; Every night, three people in each class go to the podium for self-study, make public appearances and talk for three minutes at will; Each class insists on rewarding those who have excellent academic performance in all subjects; Students with good grades give priority to high-quality employment and so on.

Take care of public property and protect the environment-a small nail clipper in the bedroom costs 50 cents, but it is public property and cannot be lost or damaged; Classrooms and dormitories must have green plants; Each class has designated public health and green environmental protection two responsibility District; Oppose the uncivilized behavior of littering, spitting and littering; One lecture on each related topic; A school flower contest; Punish those who intentionally damage public property; Praise classes that care for public property and perform well. ...

Educators are trying to find and pursue tirelessly. In the past three years, the theme of education has been closely combined with students' study and daily life, from abstract to image and from virtual to real. Values and outlook on life, which sound difficult, are in line with the "eight major themes". They are cordial because of life, natural because of kindness, and conscious because of nature. Visiting vocational education colleagues in neighboring counties and even the main city of Chongqing found that none of the students in the Three Gorges Water Conservancy and Electric Power School dyed their hair, wore earrings, rings, necklaces, dressed in strange clothes and had long nails. There are so many unaccustomed students: no mouthwash, no manicure, no greeting to teachers, spitting and littering.

The reporter believes that the people of Three Gorges Hydropower School have created a new realm of all-round quality education in three years.

"Eight Themes" Lock in Contemporary Civilization

Can a small "eight themes" lock in contemporary civilization? Sure！

What is contemporary civilization? It is the contemporary mainstream mode of production and lifestyle. More specifically, Suzhou Industrial Park, Beijing Olympic Village and Chongqing New Development Zone are the epitome of contemporary civilization. The people of Three Gorges Hydropower School spare no effort to lock in the contemporary civilization and create the brilliance of quality education with the spirit of sharpening a sword for several years.

Large-scale and meticulous campus greening reflects the good intentions of educators. Banyan Garden, Gui Huayuan, Baihua Garden and Weizi Garden are scattered; Frog green willow has mountains, water has fish, and spring long willow is Yi Yi. Beautiful environment and landscape silently edify students' aesthetic consciousness of beauty. On the campus of more than 6,000 students, it is difficult for reporters to find the shadow of scraps of paper and plastic bags. It is refreshing and enjoyable, and we can't help but ask: How did they do it? Is this just a matter of cleanliness?

Facing the secondary vocational students with poor learning foundation and bad habits, the reporter had to be moved by the scene of listening carefully and taking notes in class and full of energy in the training workshop. It's hard but serious. Is there a correct outlook on life behind it?

Walking on campus with a work permit, any corner with students will hear a cordial greeting: "Hello, teacher!" " "The reporter entered the main road of the teaching area during the break and found that he had to nod all the way and respond to hello all the way. What is the deep meaning of this kind of good manners and habits?

When I came to the student dormitory, the first thing that shocked the reporter was cleanliness and neatness. These children aged 16 and 17 are undoubtedly comparable to military camps. Then I saw green potted plants, nail clippers, bright round mirrors and clean air conditioners. Then I reached out to the sun on Friday and the clothes on the balcony were wet. Are these rural "left-behind children" moving closer to contemporary civilization?

Entering the training building, the students' works exhibition room displays various works such as welders, turners, fitters, electricians, carpenters, surveyors, seiko, design drawings and so on. They come not only from students' operation of modern advanced equipment, but also from their unique ideas and imagination. Although it is still immature and rough, it seems that you can touch the young heart and mature future that are eager to make progress. Contemporary values and outlook on life have become real objects here.

In May, 2006, Ma Zhengqi, former member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and secretary of Wanzhou District Committee, inspected Chongqing Three Gorges Water Conservancy and Electric Power School, and randomly invited more than a dozen students to have dinner in the canteen. The students talked over dinner, criticizing and praising the school. Finally, Secretary Ma gave educators a big surprise: "Most students in your school are not rich, but they are neat and generous, neither humble nor supercilious!" " So far, President Chen has been talking about this problem. Then he asked the reporter: Is this a good way to be a man?

The reporter suddenly realized that the "Eight Themes" locked in the contemporary mode of production and lifestyle, not the contemporary civilization! All this is simple, but complicated; Very sincere, but very profound. This not only reminds reporters of 1+ 1=2, who can say that it is not the most profound mathematical proposition?

"Eight Themes" Lock in Contemporary Civilized Enterprises

Fan of the School Admissions and Employment Section turned on the computer for the reporter to check. In 2007, the enterprises in which the students of Three Gorges Hydropower School were employed were: Chongqing Survey and Design Institute, 10th Bureau, 7th Bureau, 4th Engineering Bureau, Xinjiang Engineering Bureau, Zhejiang Shujun Engineering Office, etc. Mechanical major-Singapore Baoligen Precision Mould Chengdu Company, Dongwan Company, Shanghai Company, Taiwan Province Li Xinjie Mould Company, Zhejiang Kunshan Mould Company, etc. Mechanical and electrical majors-Weifang Company of Shandong Textile Group, Wanzhou Company of this group, Three Gorges Water Conservancy, Nantong Ship, Hubei Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry, Longxing Motorcycle, etc. , are large enterprises with high technology content, strong modernization and good stability.

President Chen told reporters: "Since 2006, the school has adhered to the principle of" three noes "in student employment, and irregular enterprises, unstable enterprises and low-income enterprises will not go." He further explained: "Enterprises that do not implement the labor law and relevant state regulations are irregular enterprises, and the interests of students cannot be guaranteed; Last night, the Enterprise was still there. When I woke up, the Enterprise had collapsed. Isn't student employment equal to unemployment? Why should low-income enterprises use employees with high comprehensive quality and certain skills? Enterprises have the right to choose students, and students also have the right to choose enterprises, which is fair. "

According to statistics, since 2006, 76 enterprises have been blocked from the school gate because they cannot meet the three conditions. Fan reminded reporters: "Chairman Chen means that uncivilized enterprises will not go."

Hit the nail on the head. Lock in contemporary civilization and lock in contemporary civilized enterprises.

At the end of the interview, President Chen said mysteriously: I hope to come again next time. The school has prepared a "surprise" for your field trip and interview. The reporter believes that the people in the Three Gorges Hydropower School will continue to create "surprises" and make contributions to the vocational education in the Three Gorges reservoir area and the society.
