2023年6月29日上午，首都师范大学附属育新学校社会性科学议题学习合作研究项目研讨会在中学部图书馆会议室举行。SSI-L项目学科指导专家组组长、北京师范大学第二附属中学物理学科特级教师彭梦华，项目学科指导专家、北京师范大学《化学教育》专职副主编、编辑部主任朱玉军到校，与首都师范大学附属育新学校初一项目组成员就“中学生为什么不能喝酒——酒的由来、饮用与监管”课程实施和方案完善开展了指导与讨论。
会议首先围绕项目负责人曹学龙主任提出的“‘收尾课’怎样才能高质量实施”展开研讨。朱玉军老师基于项目成员的设计和设想给予建议，他认为：最后一节课一定要起到画龙点睛的作用，课程可以先梳理、回顾之前所学内容，然后回扣题目，让学生思考中学生不能喝酒的原因，再推己及人、及国家、及社会甚至世界，在培养学生“科学思维”的同时，提升学生核心素养所要求的“责任意识”。专家组还建议，课程结束之即，还可以通过绘制海报、国旗下演讲、制作微课、撰写论文等方式外显学生的学习成果，让更多同学受益。
之后，大家进一步讨论了课程方案的修订与完善。在肯定已有基本框架的基础上，专家对课程方案中“学习内容”、“学习目标”、“学习评价”和“具体学习活动”等细节进行指导。专家建议：在课程方案撰写过程中，必须牢牢把握“学生是学习的主体”理念，站在学生的角度思考问题，从学生角度出发设计活动方案。同时，课程的设计以及所准备的课程资源都要有据可依，这就需要学校项目组团队在备课和撰写课程方案的过程，查找专业的资料，做好文献的整理工作。此外，为了能够更好地以文字形式再现整个课程的过程，议程方案中尽可能加入“课程实录”版块，将整个课程过程完整地记录下来，以备后续查看和不断完善。
经过一上午的研讨，项目小组成员对各自的所授课程都有了新的想法和修改思路。大家希望在一次次地研讨过程中，不断完成课程方案，为育新学子提供更加优质的课程内容。

On the morning of June 29, 2023, the SSI-L Cooperation and Research Project Seminar at Yuxin School Attached to Capital Normal University was held in the library conference room of the Middle School Department. Peng Menghua, head of the Disciplinary Guidance Expert Team of the SSI-L Project and a Special-Rank Teacher of the Physics Department of the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, Zhu Yujun, project disciplinary guidance expert, full-time deputy editor-in-chief and director of the editorial department of Chinese Journal of Chemical Education at Beijing Normal University attended the meeting. They discussed and guided how to improve the implementation and plan of the curriculum project on “Why Middle School Students Shouldn’t Drink Alcohol – The Origin, Consumption, and Regulation of Alcohol” with members of the 7th grade project team at Yuxin.
The meeting started with a discussion on “How to implement a ‘final lesson’ with high quality” proposed by Director Cao Xuelong, the project leader. Mr. Zhu Yujun offered suggestions based on the design and ideas from the project members. He believed that the final lesson must serve as a finishing touch, which could start with a review of the previous content, and go back to the issue, asking students to think why middle school students cannot drink alcohol, and then extend themselves to others, to the country, to society and even to the world, in order to develop students’ “scientific thinking” and enhance their “sense of responsibility” required by the core competencies. The panel also suggested that the lesson could be concluded with explicit assignments to show students’ learning achievements, such as drawing posters, conducting speeches under the national flag, recording micro-lessons and writing essays, so that more students could benefit from the curriculum.
Afterwards, participants further discussed the modification and improvement of the curriculum plan. Based on the existing elementary framework, experts gave guidance on the details of the curriculum plan, such as “learning content”, “learning objectives”, “learning evaluations” and “specific learning activities”. The experts suggested that in the process of composing a curriculum plan, it is necessary to firmly hold the concept of “students are the main subject of learning”, to think and design activities from the students’ perspective. At the same time, the curriculum design and prepared resources must be supported by evidence, which requires the school project team to search for professional materials and organize literature when preparing lessons and composing curriculum plans. In addition, aiming to better reproduce the lesson in written form, the agenda should include a “lesson notes” section, so that the entire lesson can be fully documented for subsequent review and continuous improvement.
After a morning of discussion, the project team members generated new thoughts and revision ideas for their respective courses. Everyone hoped to improve the curriculum plan continuously through seminars, providing better curriculum content for Yuxin students.
