4、 Problems and solutions in online teaching
（1） Existing problems
01
Lack of flexibility in the teaching process and low participation of students
Limited by time and space factors, teaching platform and network conditions, teachers' teaching content and teaching methods are greatly challenged. The teaching form is relatively monotonous and inflexible. Students' conscious participation is also reduced. The overall satisfaction rate of students' self-assessment online learning effect is not high. If we can't fully understand and use online teaching tools, effectively solve the actual needs of students, and design the whole teaching process reasonably, the enthusiasm, initiative and participation of students' learning can't be well aroused, and the learning effect is also affected to a certain extent.
02
The use of technology platform restricts the effective development of teaching
The teaching platform has not yet fully played a greater role and function. First, the lack of hardware and technical conditions of the platform operation, platform jam, network congestion and other phenomena have been restricting the effective implementation of online teaching. Second, the proficiency of teachers and students in operation and use is not high, "technology and methods" need a certain amount of time to master. Nearly 35% of teachers think that it is necessary to carry out targeted training on the use function of curriculum platform, effective combination of curriculum platform and live broadcast, online and offline hybrid teaching design and other technical links.
03
Online teaching evaluation mechanism is not perfect
The difference of students' learning effect directly affects the assessment form, assessment content and assessment standard of teachers. How to redesign the teaching content and assessment method according to the online teaching rules and characteristics has become an important problem in the process of online teaching. The survey found that 47% of teachers are confused about "how to evaluate students' online learning achievements scientifically", and need relevant departments to carry out training on similar topics.
（2） Solutions
01
Further strengthen the cultivation of students' initiative and consciousness in learning
First, we need to change the teaching concept from "teaching first" to "learning first". Teachers should make clear the learning objectives and pay attention to the guidance of learning methods before class, and take the epidemic prevention and control period as the best period to cultivate students' conscious and active learning habits. Second, the teaching content should be updated in time, so as to select materials, follow the leading edge and build a good course. According to the actual needs of students, the whole process of online teaching should be designed reasonably, so as to enhance the vividness and richness of the teaching content and fully mobilize students' interest in learning and desire for knowledge. Third, schools, colleges and teachers should cooperate with each other, improve the process evaluation system, and design various online teaching assessment links. All staff, the whole process and all-round guidance of students' values, learning and growth.
02
We need to create a smart teaching environment,
Realizing the deep integration of information technology and teaching
Fully excavate and promote the practical application of information technology in education and teaching, teaching evaluation and student management, so as to free teachers from "methods and technologies". Vigorously expand and optimize resources, provide online services and technical support in many aspects, let resources and technology around teachers, and free teachers from the fatigue of technology application. Realize the intelligent teaching platform to accurately collect the whole process of online teaching state data, and conduct personalized analysis and evaluation of teaching elements.
03
Renew the idea of evaluation and innovate the mechanism of teaching evaluation
According to the characteristics of online teaching, such as spatial separation, time asynchrony, fragility of learning, low frequency of interaction between teachers and students, and easy diversion of students' learning attention, grass-roots teaching organizations should redesign the evaluation index system and implementation tools. Fully tap the value of teaching data to analyze the quality of classroom teaching with big data. Organize and carry out a series of communication activities to jointly explore the improvement strategies of online teaching.
