校内教师培训:DP中文A评估(1)

2016年10月19日,王府IB中心吕昆铮老师围绕“DP中文A评估”的校内培训,让老师们对DP中文课程有了初步的了解。

首先,吕老师讲授了中文课程的学科性质与课程种类。中文A属于DP第一学科组,共有文学、语言与文学、文学与表演艺术三门课程。其中文学、语言与文学两门课,有高级课程(HL)和普通课程(SL)之分。DP学校综合考虑学校、授课教师和学生等情况,开设相应类型和水平适当的课程。

接着,吕老师重点介绍了中文A的4部分授课内容:翻译作品、精读作品、同体裁作品与自选作品。学生需要学习并分析不同时代、不同地区和不同体裁的文学作品(高水平课程需学习13部文学作品,普通水平课程需学习10部文学作品),并完成相应评估作业。至于学生学习哪些文学作品,DP中文老师可以根据IB大纲要求自行选择,并将书单提交给IB组织。这与使用固定教材的传统的语文教学完全不同。

此外,吕老师还介绍了DP中文A课程的5种评估方式:书面作业(WA)、个人口头评论(IOC)、个人口头报告(IOP)、试卷一、试卷二。由于不同评估方式进行的时间不同,吕老师对教学流程的安排给出了合理建议。

培训结束后,许多教师就教材选取、评估标准等内容进行了提问,与吕老师进行了热烈的交流、讨论。
