A Study Of Using Open Teaching Model In Biology In Normal School

One of the disadvantages of the traditional teaching is its closeness, It is separated from the outside world. Generally speaking. It can be made learn by the following points: 1.The teaching space is confined in classrooms and schools; 2. The teaching material is far more abstract and narrow, far from students' real life; 3. The teaching material is lack of either directness or interest; 4. The study mode is dull and passive. Open teaching is developed just for the above disadvantages. It stresses the building of an open teaching system, and enlarging teaching space, thus making classes stretch, puts class into the society, the nature and our life. It takes the nature as the class itself, it takes the nature as the teacher, as the teaching material. The selection of the teaching material stresses its integrity and practice. Take the open questions as the key points, make the teaching much closer to our life and make students develop continuously by means of self-research and self-realization. Nowadays, many teachers have done much on he teaching material and teaching organization. But, shill there are much more to do. This thesis attempts to begin with the open teaching theories. Characteristics of the open teaching. Open teaching strategies and teaching modes, etc. for some preliminary study and research to put forward the theoretical and experimental data support for the open teaching.This research is guided by the practicality. Constructivism and humanism, puts forward the main characteristics of open teaching:1. Openness: It mainly with the teaching material, organization, teaching time and space teaching evaluation, etc, and stretches our class to the nature, society and life; 2. practice: It requires students acquire direct experiences out of practice. 3. Subjectivity: The subject of study is students the teacher is a consultant, one who helps to discover problems, but not to give answers. Students manipulate their actions actively, fully develop theirIVstudy potential and them-selves; 4. Development: We should aim to the development of the students; not only to from and improve their knowledge on the real world, but also to develop their abilities of theoretical thinking and advocating thinking.Open teaching model is different from closed, monotonous traditional ones. It emphasizes on the openness of teaching and the students' development, practice ability and subjectivity. In this paper, the author tries to discuss the open teaching methods in biology education in normal schools based on the fundamental theories of open education.This paper is divided into three parts.1. IntrductionIn this part, the author gives the meaning, theoretical basis, historical development and basic characteristics of open education. This paper also discusses the background and meaning of using open teaching model.2. Study Method and Operational ProcedureThe author uses experimental methods to conduct the research. The researchers have carried out open teaching model in experimental class 288 and traditional teaching method in contrast class 287 in The First Normal School in Yueyang. Questionnaires and group tests are used to collect statistics, which are analyzed through software SPSS5.0. The result shows that the students in experimental class have made great progress in grades and practical skills, and they have more interest in biology.3. ConclusionOpen teaching can put knowledge in textbooks in a wide social background. Thus students become closely connected with nature and society. It can create a relaxed atmosphere and free the students' brains, eyes and hands. Therefore, it improves the class structure.Therefore, we can draw the following conclusions from the experiment:1. Open teaching can upgrade the scores of students.2. Open teaching can arouse the interests of students.3. Open teaching can improve biological skills of students. Here are the innovations of this experiment:1. The fundamental model of biology open teaching in normal school has...
