Innovative teaching methods to breathe new life into education system

Wang Ziyu, a mathematics teacher at Qingdao No 61 Middle School, has put into place a new student-centered teaching method encouraging his kids get more engaged in their education through discussions and group work, and so far the new way of teaching has achieved good results.

In his classes, Wang spends 20 minutes teaching and then gives the rest of the time over to the students for them to ask questions and to apply what they have just learned individually and in group work. This is quite different from the traditional teaching method of learning by rote.

Hou Shanjie, a class supervisor of Qingdao No 49 Middle School, said love is the foundation of education and cultivating talent should be the primary responsibility of a class supervisor.
