During the visit and exchange in Hefei, the delegation was cordially received by Zhang Xueping, deputy mayor of the municipal government, Liu Zhengya, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and Huang Ying, director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, and was warmly welcomed by the teachers and students of the school.
In order to enable visiting teachers to know the current situation of education and teaching in Hefei from multiple levels and angles, Hefei Education Bureau has selected a number of representative schools for them to visit, communicate and study. They visited Nanmen Primary School, Hefei Foreign Language School (Hefei No.2 Middle School), Hefei No.1 Middle School, Feixi Nongxing Middle School, Hefei 168 Middle School and Hefei Shen Xing Taibao Martial Arts School. In order to let the visiting teachers feel the profound ancient culture of China and the life of ordinary people, during the fat period, they also arranged delegations to visit Baogong Temple, Anhui Celebrity Hall, Lifu and other cultural attractions, and felt the bustling crowds on the pedestrian street of Huaihe Road, witnessing the shocking power of Chinese Wushu and the infinite charm of combining rigidity with flexibility. Studying Bao jiaozi at Wang Juan's home in Nanmen Primary School has added a different kind of fun to this trip.
The delegation went to the school to attend lectures (Chinese, English, history, music, art and other different subjects participated, and the class size reached 15), watched the flag-raising ceremony, held eye exercises and communicated with students and school teachers. Hefei teachers' professionalism, high professional level, flexible classroom teaching organization, students' enthusiasm for learning, and. Ms Elaine Boaz said that today's classroom has changed a lot compared with the classroom she saw during her time-consuming visit two years ago. She is delighted to find that the activities between teachers and students in the classroom have achieved real "interaction" and the number of "interactions" has greatly increased. Mr Stefan Farrenkoft said: "Before coming to China, China was just a piece of land on the other side of the globe on his desk, but by visiting Hefei, he will remember everyone's face he saw, especially the students who are full of enthusiasm for learning and their hard-working colleagues. They made his trip to China unforgettable and he began to fall in love with China and his great people. " Ms. Wu Yaxin said, "Because she has lived in the United States for a long time, she almost forgot that she is from China if she didn't feel the enthusiasm for her, the profound China culture and the active teachers and students through this trip. Thanks to Hefei for making her feel proud and proud as a China person! " Both Ms. Braille Fahrenkopf and Ms. Vicky Kramer couldn't restrain their inner excitement, saying that the warm hospitality of the people of China and this meaningful visit will remain in their memory forever, and they will share this wonderful memory with the people around them.
In this exchange activity, American teachers introduced the life and study of Columbus school students (including students from kindergarten to high school) to Hefei teachers and students in the form of Powerpoint courseware. Students' extracurricular life; American festivals; Popular music that American middle school students like today. Through their graphic and audio-visual demonstrations, Hefei students have a vivid understanding of the study and life of their American peers. It turns out that American students also have to pass exams to decide whether they can enter an ideal university. Although test scores are not the only criterion for admission to American universities, they are also one of the important criteria. American high school students usually have two hours of homework every day, but it is also common for some diligent students to study for four to five hours every night. When answering students' questions about who is superior and who is inferior in the education system, teaching methods and evaluation methods between China and the United States, the five American teachers sincerely conveyed a message to the teachers and students in Hefei, that is, China and the United States are learning from each other and absorbing each other's successes, and flexible classroom teaching methods are being recognized and practiced by teachers in China, while the number of examinations in primary and secondary schools in the United States is increasing and unified examinations at different levels are being implemented. Due to the differences in educational systems and educational status between the two countries, it is difficult to say who is superior or inferior in educational systems, teaching methods and evaluation methods between China and the United States. The key to evaluating the success of education lies in whether teachers are willing to teach, whether students love learning, whether education can achieve the purpose of educating people, and whether students can be cultivated into a person who loves learning, is good at learning, is diligent in thinking and has high literacy. Don't compare your own shortcomings with others' strengths, and don't blindly accept the labels that others give you, especially some bad labels. In fact, students in Hefei, like American students, study hard and are good at thinking. Never think that they lack creativity. When it comes to how to learn a foreign language well, American teachers suggest practicing more, because they believe that "practice makes perfect". American teachers hope that students in Hefei can face their future study and life with more confidence, and warmly welcome more teachers and students from Hefei to visit Columbus School.
This exchange activity has further deepened the understanding between educators in the two places, enhanced friendship, and accumulated successful experience for future educational and teaching exchanges between the two cities. (Office of Teaching and Research Section of Municipal Education Bureau)
