I always thought that Professor Zou was a middle-aged man in his forties, and this idea came from his strong educational passion. Half a year ago, at the request of the network training platform for comprehensive practical activities, I recorded a micro-lesson, but no matter what format it was converted into, it could not be uploaded, and the system always showed the words "over limit". Frightened, I turned to Professor Zou for help-we formed a group and I left him a message alone.
Soon, he wrote back and asked what was going on and whether it was difficult to do micro-courses. Finally, he asked me to send him the video. At 1 1 half past ten in the evening, Professor Zou sent me the processed video and sent two copies in wmv and flv formats respectively. He asked me to try them all and send them in large quantities as much as possible, because the bigger they are, the clearer they are. He also told me that the micro-lesson recording completely meets the requirements, but it is unsightly to wear a sleeve when recording, and it would be better if the projection moved to the left. He suggested that I record it again. Although it was troublesome, I respected his opinion, changed my clothes and recorded it again-I really admire such a serious and dedicated teacher!
Later, Professor Zou gave me an excellent score. He must be a middle-aged man in his forties, otherwise, why did he have such great enthusiasm and such exuberant energy?
At the meeting place, I met a man in his fifties, who was not tall but hale and hearty. He stood up straight, whistling and trotting on the stage, tidying up the venue and debugging the courseware. Is that Professor Zou?
It turns out that he is really Professor Zou. However, he is not forty or fifty years old. He is sixty-four years old this year! Retired, he was rehired by the college last year to implement the national training program of comprehensive practical activities, and 2,400 teachers from 8 provinces conducted it at the same time, which means that he also set up 8 teacher workshops and was the general manager of these 8 workshops! I usually see him often interacting with teachers in the group, answering questions and publishing them in time to remind everyone of some places that need attention. I didn't expect his workload to be so heavy! This makes me even more moved-it's not easy for such a busy person to take time to guide my micro-class!
Professor Zou said that the Ministry of Education only requested training and did not allocate enough funds. Even so, he has the courage to assume this responsibility-training gives money, training does not give money. So our training adopts a combination of online training and offline training. Even offline training is not undertaken by the state like other national training programs, but everyone is responsible for half. He also actively sponsors his students and fans for training. All this is only because of his love for comprehensive practical activities. Professor Zou said that his son has benefited a lot from comprehensive practical activities. Now that he is an adult, he has a good job and has benefited a lot from it. He used to be a chemistry teacher for 22 years, but since 12 came into contact with comprehensive practical activities, he fell in love with it without hesitation. Now, he has been committed to the development of this course, has been committed to the training of backbone teachers of comprehensive practical activities, and has worked hard for the country to fully open the comprehensive practical activities course.
Professor Zou said that after retirement, he began to learn the art of playing konoha. Now, he can not only play a lot of beautiful music, but also walk into CCTV, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in a boat. However, there are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, and art is endless. He will continue to work hard to carry forward the art of playing Konoha and do a better job in training comprehensive practical activities.
Professor Zou also left a deep impression on people. He said that 1000 awards and 10,000 awards are not as good as the awards of students and parents, and 1000 monuments are not as good as the reputation of students and parents. Being recognized by parents is the happiest teacher.
There were lecturers originally, but because of the incongruity between the travelling expenses and the teaching fees, the two-day course was entirely undertaken by Professor Zou, and the actual computer operation on the morning of the 8th was also transferred to the evening of the 6th. Professor Zou, a man in his sixties, told us for two and a half days and stood for two and a half days. From beginning to end, he is kind, easy-going and full of passion. He performed magic tricks for us, and he filled the class with applause and laughter. I had brought a book with me, so I might as well read a few pages when I was bored, but in fact I haven't turned a page for two days.
Professor Zou is not only a courageous person, but also an extremely serious person. There is an interesting thing about roll call. On the morning of the 6th, Professor Zou's assistant distributed the attendance list for everyone to sign each other. Interestingly, I don't know which teacher signed the names of that afternoon and the next day. Later, he did this, and everyone followed suit. Me, too. Professor Zou laughed and cried after seeing it. Later, before and after each class, he asked his assistant to call the roll again. He said that he is a serious person, even if he calls the roll, he can't be careless!
There is another point worth recording. Yesterday morning, after Professor Zou finished the demonstration class, everyone discussed and exchanged in groups, and then the group leader spoke and evaluated the class. Each group should name three advantages and one disadvantage. Our team leader is the host of a famous teacher's studio in Jinshui District, Zhengzhou. The school has carried out comprehensive practical activities for more than ten years, and it is still relatively experienced, and the evaluation of classes is relatively clear. The higher the level, the stronger it is. After talking about the advantages of Professor Zou, she casually said-our group has discovered your six shortcomings one after another. Although only one shortcoming was mentioned in the end, Professor Zou kept it in mind. When other groups finished evaluating classes, he came to our group again and put the microphone directly in front of me. As a member of the three groups, I pointed out six shortcomings one by one and said that only in this way can I be promoted.
I feel shocked and uneasy. How did Professor Zou think of letting me speak? This is really a thorny issue: other groups have already talked about their shortcomings. What else can I say? Besides, let me be an ordinary primary school teacher who has no comprehensive practical experience to evaluate the courses of university professors. How should I organize the language? After a little reflection, I asked Professor Zou if he was deliberately setting up some misunderstandings for us to find flaws (he said that he had deliberately set up a misunderstanding to test us before). When I got a negative answer, I said that because this is a normal class, not an observation class or a competition class, so so many questions that everyone just said are not problems. But Professor Zou insists that I must talk about the shortcomings in the classroom. No way, I have to tell my true feelings: from the perspective of a primary school teacher, this course is for primary school students after all, so every time after answering questions, the teacher should evaluate it in time and must use descriptive language; When communicating before class, Professor Zou should not ask students "Guess who teaches better than your teacher", because in front of famous university teachers, asking such questions will make them feel pressure. If it is only to stimulate interest and reduce the strangeness among students, another way of "guessing whether Mr. Zou teaches well or not" can have the same effect. Therefore, Professor Zou spoke highly of my speech, saying that pointing out the shortcomings and putting forward reasonable improvement measures are the most effective ways to evaluate classes. He also said that he must pay attention to this point in the future and must not cause trouble to others.
Professor Zou is such a person who is strict with himself and strives for perfection!
Professor Zou said that comprehensive practical activities are so attractive. I want to say that not only the comprehensive practical activities are so attractive, but Professor Zou is also so attractive. With his earnest, lively and romantic personality and the courage to take on the personality charm of diligent study, he makes the already attractive comprehensive practical activity course even more attractive!
