What Is a Teaching Practicum?

Teaching practice refers to a practical teaching form that combines the teaching of professional courses with engineering, agricultural, medical, and other specialized schools and secondary professional schools of engineering and agricultural sciences before production practice. Usually starting from the lower grades, it is carried out on campus internship workshops or farms to enable students to gain perceptual knowledge of production, to initially master some production operation skills, and to receive education on labor discipline, safety protection, and civilized production. Different from the comprehensive production internship, the content is limited to the course requirements and the internship time is short. The emphasis is on basic skills training, as well as consolidating and deepening the knowledge of the courses learned. It does not emphasize the completion of production tasks. It is not appropriate to arrange students to work in a fixed position of a certain type of work too early or too much, so as not to lead to a failure to fully grasp the subject Requires knowledge and skills. ^[1]

It is not appropriate to arrange students to work in a fixed position of a certain type of work too early or too much, so as not to lead to a failure to fully grasp the subject. Requires knowledge and skills. ^[1]

The types of teaching practice are generally as follows: Visit and recognize the practice. It is usually carried out at the beginning of the internship and combined with related theoretical courses. Combined with teaching practice of single subject. Generally combined with professional courses, it is at the beginning stage of learning professional skills. Teaching practice of professional basic work. Generally, the main types of work for one or two majors are determined, and certain skill levels are required. After the internship, the corresponding technical level certificate can be issued after the assessment. This kind of teaching practice can be appropriately combined with actual production after students have mastered basic skills. Teaching practice of rotating jobs. This includes several common types of work in the professional field. Arranging certain operating hours for each type of work requires students to have a certain understanding of the equipment and operating procedures through internships. Comprehensive teaching practice. Such internships are usually carried out under production conditions. Students must have knowledge of multiple subjects while completing this internship. For example, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of equipment. ^[2]

Specifically, the purposes and tasks of teaching practice are: To enable students to master the basic operation skills of a major job in this specialty, to be able to correctly adjust and use the general equipment and accessories of the job (or process), etc. The drawings and process files are independently processed with moderate complexity; at the same time, they also understand the basic operating methods of several types of work (or procedures) related to the specialty. To enable students to acquire basic knowledge of the major and prepare for the study of professional theoretical knowledge. Organize students to strictly implement the production plan, ensure the quality and quantity, pay attention to safety, civilized production, complete the prescribed tasks, and create wealth for the country. Training students

The basic steps of teaching practice generally consist of the following five procedures. ^[3]

(1) Preparation for internship. The first is the preparation of teachers 'teaching: compile project teaching plans, subject teaching plans and teaching plans; do internship preparation and proficiency in related skills; understand students' levels, characteristics and personality differences, in order to teach students according to their aptitude, arrange positions, focus on guidance. The second is to prepare students for internship: to prepare, prepare, and prepare ideologically, intellectually, and materially. The third is the preparation of physical conditions: design and arrange the internship site and internship environment, and prepare equipment, tools, materials and teaching aids.

(2) Explain the demonstration. The first is to clarify the meaning, tasks and requirements of internship topics, as well as the use of equipment, tools, materials, operating points, and precautions. The second is to demonstrate well. Including normal demonstrations, slow demonstrations, decomposition demonstrations, key repetitive demonstrations, error correction demonstrations, demonstrations while explaining, and single process demonstrations, etc., and can grasp the essentials, accurate movements, operating standards, and skilled.

(3) Operation training. Students 'hands-on exercises are the central part of internship teaching and a key stage in developing students' skills and skills. In order to do basic training well, the spirit of "bitterness, strictness, and hardness" should be advocated, that is, emphasize the word "bitterness" during the training process, adhere to the word "strictness", and reach a "hardness" in order to enable students to develop A strong operation skills.

(4) Tour guidance. Teachers should conduct a comprehensive inspection and guidance of students on a tour. Focus on checking operation posture and operation essentials, pay attention to check product quality and work quality. Pay attention to the fact that the typical model drives the whole, and adopt a variety of flexible guidance methods such as individual correction, collective guidance, and typical performances.

(5) Concluding remarks. At the end of the internship, teachers should organize students to comprehensively summarize and comment on the mastery of operational skills in the internship, the quality of internship products and work, the maintenance of internship equipment, the observance of internship discipline, and civilized production, etc., and put forward problems and suggestions for improvement.
