錫城三月，春暖花開，草木萌發(fā)，燕雀啁啾，此時(shí)正是學(xué)習(xí)好時(shí)光。俄國心理學(xué)家維果斯基將學(xué)習(xí)定義為“當(dāng)一個(gè)人在新知識(shí)與舊知識(shí)之間建立聯(lián)系時(shí)所發(fā)生的意義創(chuàng)建”。為了提升教師的綜合能力及專業(yè)素養(yǎng)，2019年3月23、24日，無錫外國語學(xué)校小學(xué)國際課程中心誠邀具有豐富教學(xué)和培訓(xùn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的IB培訓(xùn)官湯匯老師，為全體教師們展開了為期兩天的IB教師培訓(xùn)工作坊的活動(dòng)。
In March , the flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Russian psychologist Vygorsky defined learning as "the creation of meaning when a person establishes a connection between new knowledge and old knowledge". In order to improve teachers’ comprehensive ability and professional quality, on March 23 and 24, 2019, the International Curriculum Center of the Primary School of Wu Xi Foreign Language School invited IB trainer Tang Hui, who has rich teaching and training experience, to launch a two-day IB teacher training workshop for all teachers.
在全體教師們熱情地歡迎下，湯老師開始了第一天的培訓(xùn)活動(dòng)。首先，湯老師通過“Dancing partners”和“Let’s line up”的活動(dòng)方式了解在場(chǎng)教師們IB教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，并針對(duì)各教師目前的情況開展了“Making space for learning”主題培訓(xùn)。湯老師的課堂氣氛輕松活躍，她通過豐富多彩的活動(dòng)向老師們介紹了建立課堂公約的重要性以及學(xué)習(xí)空間的概念，同時(shí)幫助老師們?cè)O(shè)定成功的學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)。
With the warm welcome of all the teachers, Ms. Tang began the first day of training activities. First of all, Ms. Tang learned about IB teaching experience of the present teachers through the activities of "Dancing partners" and "Let's line up", and carried out "Making space for learning" thematic training according to the current situation of the teachers. Teacher Tang's classroom atmosphere was relaxed and lively. She introduced the importance of establishing a classroom convention and the concept of learning space to teachers through a variety of activities. She also helped teachers to set successful learning goals.
接著，在湯老師的引導(dǎo)下，老師們就“安全的學(xué)習(xí)空間”這個(gè)話題展開了熱烈討論，然后以“inside-outside circle”“Lotus template”“bus-station”的活動(dòng)方式進(jìn)行互動(dòng)交流?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)氣氛愈來愈熱烈。隨著湯老師培訓(xùn)的深入，老師們對(duì)“學(xué)習(xí)空間”的理解也越來越深刻。一張張便簽紙上躍動(dòng)著思維的碰撞。當(dāng)為學(xué)習(xí)者提供一個(gè)安全的學(xué)習(xí)空間時(shí)，學(xué)習(xí)的幸福感和責(zé)任感就會(huì)增強(qiáng)，學(xué)生也能更高效地去學(xué)習(xí)探究。
Then, under the guidance of Ms. Tang, the teachers launched a heated discussion on the topic of "safe learning space", and then exchanged with each other in the way of "inside-outside circle", "Lotus template" and "bus-station". The atmosphere on the spot was getting warmer and warmer. With the deepening of teacher Tang's training, teachers’ understanding of "learning space" has become more and more profound. The collision of ideas sprang up on the notes. When providing a safe learning space for learners, the sense of happiness and responsibility in learning will be enhanced, and students can also study and explore more effectively.
既然安全的學(xué)習(xí)空間如此重要，那么應(yīng)該如何設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)習(xí)空間呢？老師們帶著這樣的疑問，開始了下午的培訓(xùn)活動(dòng)。湯老師通過具體的實(shí)例來展示如何設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)習(xí)空間。博物館、藝術(shù)展、手工作品展、家具店、地毯店、燈飾店、戶外景觀、大海、湖泊、森林公園……都可供教師在設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)提供靈感。同時(shí)湯老師還提供了PYP教室清單來幫助老師們布置。比如說課表、班級(jí)公約、讀書角、學(xué)生作品等。這些可供布置的資源都應(yīng)該聯(lián)系學(xué)生現(xiàn)有知識(shí)，為他們對(duì)新知識(shí)的探究牽線搭橋。
Since safe learning space was so important, how should we design learning space? Teachers began the afternoon training activities with such questions. Teacher Tang showed how to design learning space through concrete examples. Museum, Art Exhibition, Handicraft Exhibition, Furniture Shop, Carpet Shop, Lighting Shop, Outdoor Landscape, Sea, Lake, Forest Park... All can provide inspiration for teachers . At the same time, Ms. Tang also provided a list of PYP classrooms to help teachers arrange. For example, curriculum, class conventions, reading corners, student works, etc. All of these resources should be connected with students’ existing knowledge and help them to explore new knowledge.
為了幫助老師們更好地通過概念化視野探究主題，湯老師手把手教學(xué)“Pandora’s Box”“ Ferris Wheel Activities”，隨機(jī)抽取一個(gè)物品，針對(duì)這個(gè)神秘物品，老師們小組合作探究如何用七個(gè)概念去解讀。大家在實(shí)際操作中明晰了概念驅(qū)動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)。第一天的培訓(xùn)在大家滿意的笑容中落幕。
In order to help teachers better explore the theme through conceptual vision, Ms.Tang taught Pandora’s Box and Ferris Wheel Activities in person, and randomly extracted an object. In view of this mysterious object, the teachers worked in groups to explore how to interpret it with seven concepts. In practice, we have clarified the concept-driven learning. The first day of training ended with our happy smile.
第二天的培訓(xùn)活動(dòng)又在第一縷陽光中悄然開始。首先，老師們分享了概念驅(qū)動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)的成果，并且反思到“靈活的學(xué)習(xí)空間有利于提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主動(dòng)性，靈活的教室很重要?！睖蠋熗ㄟ^“Chalk talk”來幫助老師們理解如何消除學(xué)習(xí)的障礙。老師們應(yīng)有意識(shí)選擇具有包容性的教學(xué)方法、資源、技術(shù)、學(xué)習(xí)和評(píng)價(jià)活動(dòng)，來支持學(xué)生的多元化發(fā)展。
The next day's training activities began quietly in the first ray of sunshine. First of all, the teachers shared the results of concept-driven learning, and reflected that "flexible learning space is conducive to improving students ‘learning initiative, flexible classroom is very important." Teacher Tang uses "Chalk talk" to help teachers understand how to remove learning barriers. Teachers should consciously choose inclusive teaching methods, resources, and technology, learning and evaluation activities to support students ‘diversified development.
學(xué)生的多樣性包括：出生地、學(xué)習(xí)能力、性格、個(gè)性、學(xué)習(xí)興趣等。在此基礎(chǔ)上，學(xué)習(xí)很重要的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)是評(píng)估，評(píng)估類型可以是形成性的，總結(jié)性的以及同伴評(píng)估。而評(píng)估的形式也是多樣的：演講、演示、采訪、測(cè)驗(yàn)、反思日記、課堂討論、畢業(yè)展、成長手冊(cè)等。培訓(xùn)的最后，老師們圍坐一圈就這兩天的培訓(xùn)活動(dòng)做了每個(gè)人的小結(jié)。大家積極發(fā)言，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)氛圍熱烈友好。
The diversity of students includes: birthplace, learning ability, personality, personality, learning interest and so on. On this basis, an important part of learning is assessment, which can be formative, summative and peer assessment. The forms of assessment are also varied: lectures, presentations, interviews, quizzes, reflective diaries, classroom discussions, graduation exhibitions, growth manuals, etc. At the end of the training, the teachers sat around and made a summary of each person's training activities during the two days. Everyone spoke actively and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
學(xué)習(xí)是一個(gè)不斷總結(jié)、反思、探究的過程。培訓(xùn)的兩天時(shí)間雖然短暫，但是老師們耳目一新、受益匪淺。
Learning is a process of continuous summary, reflection and exploration. Although the two days of training were short, the teachers learned a lot.
