| With the Ministry of Education’s promulgation of the "Ten-year Development Plan for Education Informatization(2011-2020)" and the "revitalization of rural education" constantly emphasized in recent years,the state,the local government and the society have gradually increased the investment and payed more attention to rural education.Taking Youxian District in Mianyang City as an example,every school in this area is equipped with multimedia teaching all-in-one machine and students’ computer room,thus it can be seen that the teaching hardware facilities and equipment in rural schools have been greatly and effectively improved.With the steady implementation of the new curriculum reform,the deep integration between "Internet + education" means and teaching has promoted the reform of the traditional teaching model."Flipped classroom",as the new teaching model created by the Internet,has been highly praised by the education researchers and the front-line teachers with many advantages since it has been introduced into China.Through literature review,it is found that the role transition between teachers and students in this model makes the traditional classroom more democratic,rational and effectively promotes the improvement of students’ classroom participation and learning ability.However,flipped classroom is more concentrated in urban schools with relatively developed educational resources and strong teaching forces.Few rural schools try flipped classroom,and even it is empty in English flipped classroom which is carried out in rural primary schools.In addition,language learning includes not only the language knowledge,but also more should attach great importance to the training of language skills and development of cultural vision.However,the rural students’ interests in learning English,audio-visual and oral English abilities are very weak.According to the requirements from the balanced development of education and the sharing of the educational resources,the traditional classroom mode cannot satisfy the students’ needs today,so rural schools should change their own teaching modes initiatively.At present,rural schools have the most fundamental teaching technology support,so it is feasible to carry out a certain flipped classroom.This study is based on English teaching in rural primary schools.Through early searching the literature,sorting data and analyzing carefully,it adopts literature research,questionnaire,interview,classroom observation and case study method.Taking B rural primary school in Youxian District,Mianyang City as the key research object,this paper tries to study the operability of implementing English flipped classroom in rural primary schools,analyze the effects of students’ English learning and the problems presented in this mode.This paper is divided into the following five parts in all.The first part is the introduction,which mainly describes the research background and significance,research purpose and design,research methods and ideas.Through literature review,the research status of flipped classroom at home and abroad is analyzed in detail,and the core concepts such as flipped classroom,micro-class,online learning platform,and 17 zuoye network are defined.Based on the current teaching situation,the research objects and ideas of flipped classroom in rural primary schools are established.The second part is focused on the analysis of flipped classroom teaching mode,which mainly involves the innovative values,constituent elements and practical characteristics,main modes and operational processes of flipped classroom.English Flipped classroom consists of six basic elements: teachers,students,teaching methods,teaching contents,teaching means and teaching evaluations.It can be flipped before,during and after class.Along with the student-centered teaching principle,students can experience the cultural differences between China and the west,broaden their horizons,and make their English learning more vivid and efficient through abundant digital course resources.The third part is an online questionnaire and feasibility analysis report on the status quo of English flipped classroom teaching in rural primary schools in Youxian District,Mianyang City.The questionnaire covers teachers,teaching facilities,teaching forms and teaching contents.SPSS software is used to make a comprehensive analysis of the questionnaire.It is found that all the rural schools in this area are equipped with multimedia teaching equipment,and the teachers there are mainly young undergraduate teachers,who are willing to try a new model of teaching.Therefore,flipped English classroom teaching in rural primary schools can be carried out in this area.The fourth part is the process and phenomenon analysis of flipped classroom experiment.According to the research design,the students in the middle grades and high grades of the research object are subjected to three teaching section flipped experiments: before class,during class and after class.The research objects are divided into two groups,A and B.Each teaching section is composed of two controlled experiments.The focus is to observe and collect data from students’ classroom behaviors and English learning effects.Through analysis,it is found that students’ initiative,participation and concentration in class and English learning are significantly improved by adopting the flipped classroom model.There is also a positive correlation with the cooperation of parents and the quality of teachers’ teaching resources.The fifth part is the conclusion and suggestions of the study.Qualitative analysis of English learning results is conducted mainly through students’ interviews,students’ evaluation scales,classroom observation tables and big data formed by "17zuoye network".According to the conclusion,teaching strategies and suggestions from the following four dimensions are proposed: first of all,at the school level,the school should have teaching resources and multimedia technical supports.Secondly,teachers should have the necessary professional qualities under the new curriculum,design high-quality teaching resources and improve the management ability of flipped classroom.Thirdly,at the student level,middle and high level students from primary schools have more IT capabilities and autonomy.We should strengthen the cultivation and guidance of students in related fields.Fourthly,parents should provide off-campus terminal equipment support,timely pay attention to and supervise children’s online learning.In this way,that will form a nice family-school cooperation among left-behind families. |
