Practice And Exploration Of "Research-Oriented Study" In Biology Learning In Non-Key Senior Middle School

Research-Oriented Study" is a way of learning usually completed by the students themselves under the teacher's guidance and monitor .The study focuses on the following: The students make a choice of the research programmer and then devise it; The students collect the information and analyze the data; The students solve the problem using the knowledge they have learnt.But how to carry out the "Research-Oriented study" in poor condition in Non-key Middle School is an area rarely touched. There fore. From Feb. 2002 to July 2002, the writer took four classes in Senior Grade II as subjects, made a sense of exploration on the study. The prowess of implementation is as follows: Instructions and mobilization before the operation; The teacher's lectures on basic knowledge and skills to help students get basic skills in their performance; The teacher's lectures on the choice of the research programmer; The research design put forward by the students; The teacher's individual assistance; Students the opening repots; Students operations on the research design under the teacher's guidance and monitor; The students' completion of the research programmer is under the teachers' guidance and monitor; The evaluation of the report on the research programmer.The "Research-Oriented study" arouses the students learning motivation, cultivates their ability of problem awareness, develops their imagination and creativity and provides them a free and harmonious learning atmosphere.The test on students' creativity indicates the improvement of the students' creativity in the experimental class .The study also provides students a chance to learn from each other. In order to complete the task, the students have to work together, discuss the problem, and share out the work and cooperate with one another there fore their cooperative ability has been improved. Since all the tasks are completed by the students themselves. Gradually they come into a new, active way of learning from the traditional, passive way of learning. The result of the study demonstrates the change of students' way of learning: from "mostly dependent on the teacher " to "gradually dependent on themselves ". The change in their way of learning facilitates their interest in learning .The Result also demonstrates more and more interested in biology learning and that there's a change hi the relationship between the students and the teacher. The teacher works as a guide, a fascinator, a friend etc.In all, this study proved that in Non-Key senior Middle School, the establishment of "Research-Oriented Study " plays an important part in the development of the students and teachers. It helps improve the students creativity and cooperatively. It helps students become an independent learner. It also improves the relationshipbetween the teacher and the students. But there's something we must pay attention to in the actuarial manipulation of the study: first, we must make sure of the availability of the research programmer.Second, the teacher should reinforce the guidance on the basic knowledge and skillsThird, the teacher should pay attention to the students' psychological qualities in the study.Fourth, The teacher should help the students make thorough plans and monitor their process effectively.Firth, The teacher should give students a good example.Besides, how to make the criterion of evaluation more objective is something we need to explore.
