The teaching plan will appear in different disciplines at each stage. Many students have doubts about the definition of the teaching plan in the art study abroad teaching, and even have some extreme remarks: they think that the institutions and teachers with teaching plans are "routine" and template teaching, and teachers without teaching plans are difficult to prove their teaching standards in words, This has led to the emergence of polarized views in the market - there are teaching plans=sets of templates; No lesson plan=no responsibility. But is the definition of teaching plan really black or white? For everyone who is both a student and a consumer, how do you view the teaching plan of art training institutions? As the core department of natural light leading teaching, how does the teaching research center define the teaching plan and use it in daily teaching?

In short, the definition of teaching plan is to take the course results as the goal, and the teaching team will plan the teaching content, through a unified design and arrangement, throughout the teaching of all students. However, due to the requirement of individualization of art education, it seems to run counter to the definition of teaching plan, which also leads many students or parents to judge whether the teachers of the institution are professional and have the ability of customized teaching based on whether there is a teaching template. Now, we will analyze in detail from different dimensions!

　　 Functions of teaching plans of art training institutions

Like traditional disciplines, teaching plans also have an indispensable significance in art education. It can help teachers carry out teaching activities smoothly and efficiently, and can also ensure that the teaching experience and advantageous resources accumulated by educational institutions are shared with each student.

The reason why we misunderstand that the teaching plan is the "pronoun" of template teaching is that we "overestimate" the role of the teaching plan and "underestimate" the ability of teachers. Just like different classes in a grade, different teachers get the same textbook, and the students' achievements are also uneven; The same script, the same program form, different people will participate in different levels of excellence.

Therefore, the use of teaching plans is one of the art teaching methods, and it is not objective to judge regardless of quality and form. As a "customized" teaching plan form that can be applied to art education, its focus should be on the arrangement of teaching steps, the guidance of teaching results, the selection of teaching methods, the output of teaching advantages and the training of teachers' teams.

Instead of strictly regulating the teaching content of each topic and class hour, the setting and output of the whole link need to be determined through careful consideration and design. As students and consumers, when choosing institutions, we can take the design, use and presentation of teaching plans as a reference condition to help us understand the teaching model clearly and intuitively and judge the teaching quality.

How to view the teaching plan of art training institutions?

After an objective understanding of the function of the teaching plan, we take the natural light curriculum system as an example to analyze in detail the design and use of the teaching plan in the specific teaching process under the leadership of the National Teaching and Research Center, as well as which courses are suitable for the form of the teaching plan, which are not suitable, and how to ensure a unified teaching standard.

01. Applicable to teaching plans with strong planning

The teaching and research center combines domestic and foreign art education concepts to create a "teaching plan" suitable for students

The art study abroad application training is a long-term learning plan. In the process, we will also have many phased courses. In the first stage, basic skills are usually supplemented. The contents of such courses generally include humanistic thinking, aesthetic foundation, art history, software skills, and so on.

The purpose of these courses is to help students establish basic aesthetic literacy and plan the correct work design process, so as to lay a good foundation for subsequent projects. Generally speaking, the teaching plan of this kind of course will be highly planned, because most of the course content is based on stable historical facts and objective operating processes, there is almost no room for adjustment, and the teaching plan will be relatively fixed.

For the design and development of the teaching plan, it is relatively more dependent on the accumulation of teacher experience and the ability of the curriculum development team to connect with the teaching mode of overseas institutions.

The National Teaching and Research Center of Natural Light, as the coordinator of course teaching and research construction and training, has all core members covering all professional senior teaching instructors of 6 major departments, with an average of more than 5 years of art teaching experience per person, outstanding personal ability, and rich overseas art practice teaching experience.

In the process of developing the first stage of teaching plan, the Teaching and Research Center, based on the foundation building model of overseas colleges and universities, integrates the focus of different disciplines, reasonably organizes teaching materials, directly hits students' pain points, strengthens key points, and solves difficulties, so that students can understand and effectively master the systematic knowledge system.

Under the impact of the epidemic, such R&D courses have also been included in the online recording and broadcasting courses of ONE school after polishing and upgrading, which is convenient for students to watch repeatedly, supplement at any time, digest many times, and deepen and consolidate knowledge points.

02. How to prepare the changing teaching plan

In the view of the Natural Light Teaching and Research Center, teachers need to learn new knowledge more than students

In addition to the first stage, the next is the professional courses around the portfolio project. The portfolio course actually emphasizes "change", which changes due to the characteristics of students and the theme of the portfolio. Therefore, our teaching plan should also be prepared in the process of change.

In order to ensure that students can adapt to the circumstances when creating portfolios, we must first ensure that the teaching team has strong professional ability, understanding ability, and the ability to establish the most direct communication with the target university.

In order to achieve the teaching ability of the teaching team to "keep pace with the times", the National Teaching and Research Center of Natural Light closely focuses on learning achievements as the result orientation. In addition to putting the teaching policy into the establishment and development of the curriculum system, it also regularly organizes, trains, supervises, and reviews teachers on a department by department basis.

The National Teaching and Research Center is like a "director of the educational administration office" in a class. It is responsible for empowering every professional teacher, and also needs to control teachers' teaching achievements at any time. The training mode of teachers is the same as that of students. In addition to the "big class" of regular monthly national training, phased teaching and research outputs are output.

In addition, each department and each campus conducts group discussion on problems every week, and teaching research answers departmental questions from a professional perspective to help teachers further supplement their learning. The teaching and research center will also review the training content from time to time through the offline 1V1 communication mode, find problems in time, and constantly improve the teaching team under certain pressure.

The teaching and research center's training for teachers is not limited to teaching. It also provides all-round guarantee for each link of application, consultation and back-end services. It collects first-hand application materials and transmits them to each professional teacher by virtue of the good resources accumulated by natural light over the years with various colleges and universities, so as to better assist students to do periodic Art study abroad planning And control the final learning achievements.

03. Design and use of teaching plan

Only when all departments are linked in an orderly manner can students' abilities be liberated to the greatest extent

In a mature art organization, the fundamental purpose of the teaching plan is to standardize teaching experience, maximize teaching advantages, and ensure teaching results to the greatest extent. Compared with the teaching plan design of traditional colleges and universities, most of them are dominated by a single teacher's individual subjectivity, and students' gains depend more on the teacher's play and professional ability, which will also lead to many uncertainties in students' teaching achievements.

However, in order to avoid such adverse factors, this is also one of the tasks of the National Teaching and Research Center of Natural Light. Art education is a team work, while "teaching and research" is a comprehensive framework covering all departments and disciplines. The task of the teaching and research center is not only to improve the teaching quality and research and development courses, but also to comprehensively monitor the teaching quality and create a multi-dimensional teaching atmosphere.

The design process of the teaching plan integrates the collective wisdom of each teaching team from concept research and development to the construction of the curriculum system, replicates the successful experience and advantages, makes up for the teacher's teaching shortcomings, and ensures the all-round improvement of the teacher's teaching level with accurate curriculum content and stable curriculum institutions.

In the teaching process, the teaching and research center also undertakes the task of two-way review of teachers and students. With students' learning achievements as the final review standard, the center conducts a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of creativity, professionalism, integrity, and expressiveness, constantly polishing and upgrading the content and accuracy of teaching plans in practice, and promoting a closed-loop implementation framework, Lead the process of sustainable development of art education!

Above all, we objectively evaluated the significance of teaching plans in art overseas education through different dimensions, and analyzed the whole process of teaching plans from research and development to implementation, as well as the audit focus of different links through the experience of natural light practice teaching.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of the art study abroad market, there have also been some "fish's eyes mingle with pearls" training institutions, which implement template teaching with the gimmick of "customized teaching plans of famous schools", which fundamentally violates the original intention of art education, and also brings great risks to students' final learning achievements. This also led many parents and students to distrust the definition of "teaching plan" and "template". But in fact, "teaching plan" itself is only one of many teaching methods. It is a set of teaching methodology summarized by institutions based on historical experience, not a fixed code of conduct. As advocated by the National Teaching and Research Center of Natural Light, we are both producers and practitioners. What we hope to bring to students is not only the promotion of a single dimension of art study abroad, but also the pilot and forward-looking awareness of advanced concepts for art education!
