魔都教师团成英国数学教育救世主!
英语课
Lilianjie Lu stands in a London classroom, struggling slightly with her English but with a winning smile on her face, as she attempts to teach them all about fractions.
Lilianjie Lu站在伦敦的教室里,说着不熟练的英语,但脸上挂着信心满满的微笑,她试着教大家分数。
Lu has left her five-year-old daughter, her husband and her job as a primary school teacher in Shanghai to come to England to teach children maths – the Chinese way.
Lu离开了她5岁的女儿,她的丈夫和在上海小学教师的工作来到英国教授孩子们数学(且是中式教学)。
She is one of 30 Shanghai teachers currently 1 working in primary schools across England, flown in by the Department for Education in the hope they can work their mathematical magic on a generation of children and raise flagging standards.
她是如今在英国小学工作的30名上海教师中的一员,英国教育部门邀请他们而来,希望他们能用“数学魔法”来教授英国的下一代,使得萎靡不振的数学教育崛起。
魔都教师团成英国数学教育救世主!
“English teachers would have moved on so much more quickly,” whispers Ben McMullen, deputy 2 head at Fox school and senior lead in the local maths hub. “They dwell 3 on it for what seems a long time so every single child understands exactly what’s going on. We move them on too quickly before they’ve properly understood the principle.”
“英国教师本来会迅速的一略而过,”福克斯学校的副校长兼本地数学中心资深主管本·麦克马伦轻声低语,“(但中国数学老师)他们详细地叙述很长时间,这样每个孩子都能够理解。我们讲的太快了,他们都没搞清正确的原理呢。”
Lu is now asking the children what a fraction is. “If the whole is divided in to three equal parts, each part is a third of the whole,” one child explains. The other children follow suit, repeating and adapting their answer to explain the fraction written on the board.
Lu如今正在问孩子们什么是分数。“如果一份分成了三等份,每一小份就是一大份的1/3,”一个小孩解释道。“其他小孩就跟着学样,重复,调整他们的答案来解释黑板上的分数。
“There’s a lot of chanting and recitation which to our English ears seems a bit formulaic,” says McMullen, “but it’s a way of embedding 4 that understanding.”
“听在我们这些说英语的人耳里,这就跟念咒和诵经一样,有那么一点公式化,”麦克马伦说道,“但是这是一种理解植入的方法。”
