first time teaching and research conference December 23, 2001

to the District Education Department office for half a year, and today the first time I attended the City Department of Education at the Organization of the Guangzhou Research City education research conference. The participants are municipal universities, and the district director of Academy so the person in charge of teaching and research. Walked everywhere unfamiliar faces. For me, teaching and research work as the face of these participants, is also unknown. As just took over this work, many know little about the situation are, so I could hear especially careful when meeting record was particularly serious.

the last meeting, City Department of Education Department of Research, a young girl (later I know she is Huang Xiaoting Chief) to tell you the feedback of the City Education Science a subject did not report the three areas, of which there Baiyun District.

hear this case, some of my heart feel good, that it is a criticism. I went to consult on and explain the situation and asked can not be declared? The young girl said with gentle voice: a week on it especially for you.

week, launched a large-scale return to the region is of course impossible, but this is an important opportunity to focus on the one hand, I have decided to launch a few schools in all the underlying strength of the declaration, on the other hand I hand declare to organize a regional issue.

nervously looking for regional issues

2001 年 12 月 30 日

time in a week to find and demonstrate a regional issue, the pressure is conceivable . But to seize this rare opportunity, I gave up holidays, run bookstores, libraries, search, read a lot of data, combined with the accumulation of normal thinking, the direction of the project at

I began to experience the hardship of the education and scientific research.

hope

2002 年 2 月 20

new semester started, I started to do the work of the new year's regional research program, the main idea is to rely on regional issues Expand the research. However, just to the city to declare a regional issue, Since the filing, the Department colleagues and I are eagerly awaiting, waiting. I think too much, Baiyun District, a regional issue needs to lead, promote the region's scientific research work. If the subject can get City project, which will give our region and the vast majority of teaching and research workers, school principals, teachers bring much encouragement to ah!

I hope, is steadily advancing the research of the preparations.

participated in the Urban Education of the Education and Science held in City Hall, I and all teaching and research staff participated in the meeting to observe and learn.

city a total of six major issue. At the meeting, the six subjects who were made responsible for opening report, then the question for the experts to reply. The meetings of the compact, the atmosphere serious, some experts raised the problem is very acute, it was all very seriously.

this meeting so that I deeply appreciate the rigor of scientific research and science. Most unforgettable and highly instructive, or South China Normal University professor Hu Zhongping, as members of the Group, some of the issues he raised very sharply, very incisive point of view. For example, a major topic for research purposes, he said: rigorous scientific approach, and does not allow arbitrary,

the first meeting of members of the Group 年 10 月

2002

20 日 held today in Dengfeng hotel, , we discuss this topic focused research program, and to the organization of the General Assembly opening speech to make recommendations. The experts agreed that: 1, the subject of valuable topics of great practical significance; 2, located in the application of research in the study of the implementation of the strategy, three, the total Task Force and pragmatic style of organization and implementation of high capacity; 4, subject to the area an important role in the development of teaching and research; 5, as a regional issue, in Guangzhou is also a certain role model and influence.

I am encouraged by this. Research workers on the line for the encouragement and guidance of experts is very important.

discussions with the city of 80 in teachers 10

2002 年 25 月 80 日

City is the place I worked, so there is a special feeling. Bell school should be invited, came to the city today, and all 80 teachers in a school-based study carried out discussions on, I focused on , while recording, while questions. From this discussion, I am badly in need of such front-line teachers exchange or training. In other words, the school is to educate researchers most want to go.

scientific research very far away from us 11

2002 年 月 4 日

bamboo today to psycho-educational material to do two seminars on the theme . Fifty people attended the all teachers, from teachers to focus look, I feel that lectures are effective.

after talks with the school administration team had a discussion, mainly talk about education and scientific research issues. Huang, Vice President in charge of teaching and teaching and research work, he said with deep feeling: . After that, I feel that they thought education and scientific research has shifted, indicating that school-based research projects started planning.

I thought, I realized, as the district level, in charge of scientific research workers, first thing to do is through organizational learning, training, exchanges, so that principals and teachers really understand the value of scientific research, meaning, to dispel the mystique of education and scientific research and a sense of fear of difficulty. The award of the key is to make principals and teachers who master the scientific method as soon as possible. Hegel said:

to a secondary school survey found problems

2002 年 11 月 6 日

and secondary school teaching and research staff to a rural middle school teaching research. I focus on understanding the school education and scientific research aspects of the work. Through access to information, discovered the following questions:

1, the quality of teaching in the school plans to target the expression, only the requirements of examination results, that is, what subjects to the number of points. It appears that in the minds of school administrators, thesis. It appears that in the minds of school administrators, : Can be seen in the hearts of teachers, measuring student achievement is their only criterion is a subjective analysis of the students, passive, one-sided.

these questions, in fact, also more prevalent in our region, the primary and secondary schools in the. I feel in my area to carry out this research work in education, the difficulty, but also feel the responsibility on the shoulders.

successful Open title Assembly

2003 年 1 月 3 日 After several months of intense preparation, the Guangzhou Education Science Experimental Study of Education

District Education Department of all teaching and research staff, local school principals and teacher representatives, a total of more than 300 people attended the open question the General Assembly, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Education of China with the Secretary Xu, Baiyun District People's Government, deputy head of Pan Shi Yang , South China Normal University, Professor Huang Wei, etc. More than 20 leaders, experts, its Director Mr guidance.

Conference organized compact and efficient, very successful, to achieve better results, played a very good publicity, mobilization role, and fully mobilize the majority of school principals, teachers, the implementation of the research situation. After a principal commented: It may be basic education, Baiyun District, the most successful, highest-level meeting of a teaching and research. At the same time we expect our total research group to be pragmatic, to do meticulous research, a good opening question also needs to have a good knot.

saying goes,

In any case, today's the day for me and teaching and research staff, principals, teachers, unforgettable day.

two teachers in secondary schools Ishii

2003 年 6 questions 月 2 日

Ishii junior high school is the oldest in our region is still the only one at the municipal level school. Will then meet at the municipal level since the school re-evaluation, no subject has become a headache. School leaders in a timely manner to the District Council Department of Education being the reflection of the situation, and actively expand the school-based topics and demonstration project, after a hard, serious thinking and argumentation process, the project won the district-level topics.

Today, arranged in the school, I went to school with the teachers Ishii discussion. According to the school situation, I will talk to aim at

the discussion,UGG boots, most teachers have pledged to actively participate in school-based study. But when talking about any difficulties or confusion, there is a teacher to ask the question to me: we have to test to finish the work scores, progress will not have time to catch up to do research, how to do? There are a teacher, said: emphasis on the subjectivity of students, and that subjectivity should not teachers?

two teachers I think this question is the real problem in their hearts, really confused, I expressed understanding and acceptance. Indeed, in the current . But, I said, education is the perfect career, educators can not lose their idealism led by the nose by reality, but must set up a bridge between the ideal and reality, dedication to the pursuit of Challenge yourself to boldly explore education laws.

I also believe that, because of this reality, more teachers as soon as possible to improve awareness of the value of research so that people on the research, on the quality of education and professional development of teachers pay attention to it.

to the base school research

2003 年 6 月 13 日

line 5 to the total research group sheets Village Primary School, Lo pupae primary, holding a few schools such as Mount Primary School research work carried out research, takes the form of Project Leader with the school and the research group of teachers face to face exchanges, and access to information.

study we found that the attitude of the school is very positive, but, indeed there are still many puzzles, problems. Some schools can not even clear interpretation of their subject, and some are not find entry point, do not know what the research, how research.

one hand, we help them to interpret issues, a clear mandate and methods of research, more attention to their public confidence, drum drive, eliminate psychological fear of difficulty. After a face to face interaction, communication, school administrators and teachers to do educational research on the confidence and motivation increased.

I am to go to school, school-based seminars for interaction, than sitting in his report, and its research and teaching in schools to promote the effectiveness of guidance and a stronger, more meaningful. I also feel that to solve power problems, methodological issues, the current Baiyun District in terms of education and scientific research is extremely urgent.

and Wo On the first primary school teachers Research

2003 年 10 月 11 日

Wo is a small rural schools, but the leadership of the school and teachers have attached great importance to education and scientific research. Declaration from the subject then, I was touched by their enthusiasm. Reporting issues in order to succeed, they pay a very hard, read a lot of books, subjects demonstrated repeatedly revised several times.

Today I went to school with the teachers talk about meaning and methods of research. The average age of this group of not more than 30-year-old primary school teacher is extremely cute and eager to learn, one for listening and understanding about scientific knowledge, but also for a more fully interactive. One teacher said: I used to think hard to research very far away, I do not know how to do that, it has been a lack of motivation and confidence, my speech today to let him clear up, and had power of the. There are a teacher, said: My speech aroused her work and life of the new hope, she seemed to get back to college after graduation that

I think maybe if the teachers with the courtesy of the ingredients, but I believe that today's talk is to give teachers real power, because I have a destination in strongly encouraging for them, I am deeply known here and now As long as teachers have the initiative and passion, we will be able to properly take the road of scientific research, certainly faster in professional advancement.

Ishii secondary spot

2004 年 3 月 23 日

order to establish a benchmark, to play the role of point to area, we have orchestrated several spot. Ishii secondary research today is the spot. Number of participants more than 200 people, the city Department of Research and the District Education Bureau leaders attended the meeting. Ishii out of the 12 secondary schools and child-related research seminars, research files and pictures on display the results, while we made to the research report.

achieved good results in this spot, to a publicity point of experience, creating an atmosphere of scientific research, training, research and backbone, to create the role of research and demonstration bases. Participants also spoke highly of the leadership.

Clearly, the In order to make a good spot, as the total research group, we must make great efforts to make the planning and preparatory work with the spot to host a meeting to seriously grasp quality, from materials to the site should be carefully created to be the best atmosphere . Another point is very important, and that is the purpose of the meeting on the spot to have a very clear grasp, must be clear to come to the meetings and learn from what people learn.

Beijing Creek Elementary Interim Results title seminar topics

2004 年 5 月 20 日

do to make you learn how to mid-end problems, we decided to hold a primary school in Beijing River spot.

After several months of careful preparation, the Beijing Creek Elementary subjects successful convening of the mid knot spot. It was a provincial and municipal leaders, experts and researchers responsible for the school district a total of 300 people. Agenda for the day, including lectures, listening to a concluding report, the expert reviews, leadership speeches, theme salons.

smooth and successful meeting. Formation from the Organization of the session to write to the concluding report, etc. are all brothers in Beijing Creek Elementary School provides a learning example.

I think, rather than talk about how to go from theory to do research, it would be better like this carefully planned and launched a successful example of living for everyone, so we have a benchmark study to catch up. This is to promote as an example of the

course, conference planning and careful counseling is to spend a lot of energy and time. In my view, there is no better quality meetings are not open. Therefore, once each spot, I felt a large amount of work to do, but I think this and invest time, energy is worth it.

participate in the city 71 years of education will feel

2005 年 11 月 20 日

held in Zhaoqing City, 71 in the two-day Education Conference, invited me to , I am pleased invited to.

school all the teachers have come, and to Annual Meeting was well organized, concise compact, of a warm atmosphere. As a participant, my biggest feeling is that the teachers at the annual meeting of their performance compared with two years ago, different person. I remember two years ago, in that the topics on the subject of discussion at the school, the teacher's performance is . Two years, major changes have happened, how is this going? I think, must be because the city by 71 teachers to participate in education and scientific research, to learn more, think more, experience more practice, enrich the mind up, have something to say.

I found that many school teachers are based in varying degrees similar changes have taken place, which is that education research is an effective way to professional development of teachers.

see the teachers of this growth, I am particularly pleased.

strictly subject to approve November 20, 2005

principals have called me, saying that their school to be listed on a school, and said this is to create Jiaoyuqiangqu's request Now the school is not a research topic, may be a veto. He wants us as soon as they approved a special topic. To this, the leaders also devoted to the phone, expressed concern.

I understand the president's difficulties, but also very supportive of Jiaoyuqiangqu building, I do not want to see a listing of a school could have problems because the research who were rejected by one vote. However, if the school in order to allow a random batch of the class of a subject down, then what will be a research-oriented attitude and it? Scientific research as a I think that research is rigorous and does not allow false and utilitarian.

how to do?

I and several comrades of the Ministry of unified scientific understanding, or adhere to the principles of the schools reporting process in accordance with district-level subjects and quality requirements, do a good job every step of the work. The principal said I, you do not want to zone free of teaching and research departments will grant subject to you, anyway, must be done according to standard procedures, because the issue is education, education and scientific research made a valuable exploration, is to down to earth do,UGG bailey button, not for tokenism.

our side such a request, while strengthening the guidance and help, the last time the subject of the school approved by the quality down.

strict vetting issue is our consistent principle, where the declaration of the school district-level topics are generally required to accept the three-, four-wheel counseling, repeatedly revised project documents. Start will find trouble, then we all thought it was an important learning process.

approval from the project beginning this session, I have deliberately encourage front-line teaching and research staff to develop meticulous, realistic scientific attitude, and then cultivated in the region from serious, rigorous, full of spirit to explore the culture of scientific research atmosphere.

Ying attended the fourth annual meeting of

2005 Education 年 8 月 28 日

Guangzhou Pui Ying Secondary School 90 years from the last century, began the annual session of the Education Annual Meeting, which

Today, I went to Lotus Hill to participate in annual training and education in Britain. Looking back, this is the fourth time to participate in annual training and education in Britain, the first time in the fall of 1996, when I was training and sending the British exchange. Participated in a number of training and continuous education of the British Council, I am inspired by many nutrients and. I am very grateful and I appreciate the British culture of learning opportunities.

past three years, I attended training at the annual meeting of the British education Shihai responsible for a task, is responsible for annual reviews of work papers. Is not as easy thing, to the level for a group of leaders and teachers do not generally talk about research, then it is a demanding test. Commenting on each paper, I have to especially careful lesson preparation.

Fortunately, today commented on the British culture has been good feedback from teachers.

in Education through this, I again witnessed the Pui Ying another big step forward in scientific research. I thought the teacher's level of scientific research Pui Ying Pui Ying and research management is hop step forward. Their PE group to carry out scientific research even everyone, and can write quite a considerable level of specification studies, and there are many research results or cooperation, really impressive. This year, the papers Pui Ying Physical access to the annual paper prize.

get superior support

2006 年 2 月 20 日

open Baiyun District Education Information Network, seen by the District Education Office issued two documents, namely Baiyun District Education funding research projects,

I feel some excitement.

first time in history, Baiyun District, expressly to give financial support for education and scientific research, which is the District Education Bureau of the embodiment of scientific importance, is what I and many principals and teachers have been waiting for the results. In recent years, we rely on the spirit of encouragement, many principals and teachers into research work, not for profit were not, and sometimes their own money to pay, it is a rare spirit of multi-ah!

now received government funding support is indeed gratifying. However, I think is still important to maintain that kind of enthusiasm in the heart of education and scientific research. Do not say that funding is still inadequate and is then sufficient, if there is no passion for scientific research, responsibility and mission, but also will not get good research results.

to the most needed 3 to

2006 年 17 月 日

Cheung Po Chung Tan Zhen's Primary School is a small rural school with 16 teachers , about 400 students. President is away, a young man of 30, tall, handsome appearance.

Last year, in the region of uniform reporting new special topic course, Dong Xiaozhang very positive, and the subject matter reported to the District Education Development Center many times. Scientific Research Department of the comrades I have been active and enthusiastic attitude that he touched and encouraged him to more rural schools in the new curriculum from the problems encountered in starting the implementation of the research topics. After repeated communication, demonstration, Cheung Sha Po primary issue was finally set down and subject to availability of district-level project.

more than half the semester has passed since unknowingly, during Dongjiao Chang has repeatedly requested us to school and take a look, but busy, we have been unable to go, and I feel very uneasy inside. Work plan for the semester, I will go to Cheung Sha Po, guidance and research in primary schools as a matter of scientific research to implement down today with the Ministry of Scientific Research, Vice Minister Liao Hua Hung together here. Listen Xiaoliao said early today Dongxiao Zhang also called to ask is not really down, tone it seems some do not believe we can really go. Touched my heart suddenly filled with a burst, as Dongjiao Chang desire for education and scientific research and persistence.

school is located at the western end of the town of Market, better than I imagined, not remote, not significantly worn, there is a more decent school buildings. We went straight to the venue ready to focus on counseling, which is located in a large classroom on the third floor, on which stood a simple student desks and color plastic stool, no curtains, looked ventilation. I am here, the temperature three or four degrees lower than in urban areas, fresh air and pleasant.

Dongjiao Chang came in to greet us, busy with conference preparations. I noticed also set up in front of the podium Huichang, the end of the stage decorated with the names of several pink sign that says I'm a black brush, Xiao Liao and Guan town center to teach leadership as the names, my name is written emissions of that brand in the middle. A red cloth hanging from the top of the word big yellow banner that read, Although the venue is simple, but it can feel the passion for education and scientific research in schools and expectations.

meeting was very formal, Dongxiao Zhang made the statement seriously electronic presentation, the town leaders of the correctional center spoke. Finally, my talk, I mainly talked about the value of rural schools and methods to carry out scientific research. On-site teachers about thirty people, accustomed to the large lecture me, the total number was too few. In fact, this elementary school which includes all teachers in Changsha Po, there are several other similar town school teacher representatives.

talks lasted more than an hour,Bailey UGG boots, the teachers listened very carefully, but they focus on the trust that gave me the incentive eyes. After the meeting, our research group of five key members of the school had a conversation, face to face interaction to solve some of their confusion, and encouraging them. Everyone says, by listening to the lecture,bailey UGG boots, get a lot of inspiration, as early as six months if it can be like hearing the lecture, it will take at least six months in a lot of detours. To my ears, the teacher's words in our language only come to school today, a recognition, but also an alternative criticism. Yes ah, why can not we a little earlier, more to the Cheung Sha Po such schools come from?

clouds belonged to the typical urban and rural SAR, schools and school conditions between the apparent gap between the educational level, the access to educational resources and development opportunities is also very uneven, to achieve balanced development of education in terms of our region is still an urgent and arduous task. In fact, the harsh conditions of rural schools need us most is the place where the principals and teachers have many professional confusion, have a strong desire for growth and development, has a very simple emotions. I sincerely hope that positive action to teach researchers to overcome difficulties, to the place where we most needed, and there may better reflect the value of our work and life.

the end of the discussion is half past five, tried to retain Dongxiao Zhang and teachers to go before we had finished our dinner, we decline this out. When we take the car to leave, Dongxiao Zhang and teachers stood in front of the school watched us. I look back at them, look at this as a green field surrounded by schools, remember those studying here, the children of farmers, hearts filled with a trace of complex emotions, feeling some guilt, we feel a sacred responsibility.

wish early compensation

2006 年 4 月 5 日

research at the City Board of Education today held a research conference.

conference to announce the Access to the roster, I focus on points with the Baiyun District, to the subject of the proposed project number, the original estimates that 6-7 subject to the project, who knows as much as 10 subjects under that list, excited at the time like a childlike, and immediately sent a text message to the relevant comrades, so that they share with me the joy of harvest.

to know that this is education, Baiyun District, a major breakthrough in scientific research, submitted to 15, adopted 10, and there are three or municipal governments (the city a total of 13) were obtained city funding 16 million funding. This is not only with their own past than a Great Leap Forward (Prior to this, the region above the municipal level is only 6 subjects), and brothers area than that this project of our key projects through rate and the ratio is also ranked in the leading position . This is unthinkable in the past, we would like, How could I not be excited call it?

my mind constantly emerge in the last five years, Baiyun District, I work in education, research management experience hardships, and the principals and teachers into the research and development and many touching stories.

these schools to obtain project is Really on my own, a work of a harvest ah! This also illustrates the regional project on

years, I have repeatedly stressed that such a goal: to teachers with the educational research methods, with the capacity of educational research.

Now, I wish the beginning of compensation.
