初中部
简介
海归学校初中部融合课程专为12至15岁(6至9年级)的学生而设。在这个年龄段,学生需要培养良好的学习习惯和自信心,并对各个学科产生更全面和深入的了解。初中部融合课程全面采用中国国家课程体系(CNC),并采用国际文凭中学项目(MYP)评估框架,旨在让我们的学生在国内外的学习都能够取得成功。在这个项目中,我们在MYP的教学和评估框架下采用了CNC的知识内容。该课程遵循以探究为基础、以概念为导向的教学理念,在全球背景下进行教学。 社会主义核心价值观与核心竞争力也被嵌入到我们的课程中,渗透进所有学科领域。

Curriculum Settings
Middle school students have the following 8 subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Mathematics, Science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry), Individuals and Societies (History, Geography, Ethics, and Law), Design (Digital Design, Product Design), Arts (Visual Arts, Performing Arts), and Physical Health Education(PHE). Students are encouraged to make connections between classroom learning and the real world and to think creatively and critically through eight subject groups.
Besides the subject learning, students will also experience one mandatory interdisciplinary unit of learning in each academic year. Interdisciplinary learning is oriented towards bringing together concepts, methods, or modes of communication from two or more established areas of expertise to develop new perspectives. It connects disciplines to develop new understanding, create products, or address real-world issues in ways that would have been unlikely through a single approach. Teachers will put into practice curriculum integration through specific interdisciplinary unit planning and implementation. This interdisciplinary learning empowers students to integrate disciplines in novel and creative ways. As knowledge and information multiply, critical thinkers must successfully integrate disciplinary perspectives to understand real-world issues, ideas, and challenges, and to take action to promote positive changes in societies.
As required by IB, in the 3rd year of the MYP programme, each student is required to participate in a community project to test the student’s knowledge and skills throughout the MYP phase. The 社区 Project can be done independently by a student or in collaboration with a group of up to 3 students. Community Project focuses on communities and services, encourages students to explore their rights and responsibilities, and implements service actions in the community. This initiative encourages students to generate creative new insights through research, demonstrate responsible action, and become responsible citizens of the world.
Through the middle school programme learning approach, students develop skills related to all courses that help them “learn how to learn”, including research skills, communication skills, self-management skills, thinking skills, and social skills. These skills can be taught and learned, and continuously improved through practice, providing a solid foundation for independent and cooperative learning and helping students become lifelong learners.
The CCA program is an important part of the school curriculum system. To better develop the potential of students’ creativity, innovation, and artistic creation, OCAC creatively interpreted the ancient Chinese “Six Arts” in accordance with IB’s learning methods, thus establishing its own extended Co-Curricular Activities framework. Each semester, we offer a variety of CCAs that are a unique combination of Chinese and Western features and take in the best elements of other curriculums. Our CCAs range from academics, cultures, and arts to sports, all the while offering a wide variety of high-quality choices to students.
我觉得这学期开展的主题教育课程是一个很好的实践,每一次的主题都是老师们精心选择,抓住各个阶段的重要问题,不仅孩子们,连我们家长都受益匪浅。比如周一开展的“如何有效学习”的课程,孩子们在老师们的带领下学习梳理自己每天的学习任务,如何追踪记录作业和考试时间,如何制定计划、管理时间,以便能按时按质完成任务。这些关于自我管理、有效学习的内容会让孩子们终身受益。在OCAC,我深刻体会到学校不仅仅是在传授孩子们知识,更是在培养孩子们的能力,激发孩子们的主观能动性,为以后的独立生活做准备,感谢用心做教育的老师们。
金秋九月是孩子进入海归的第二个年头,8年级是初中生活承上启下的阶段。孩子的身心正在发生突飞猛进的变化。毫无经验的妈妈真有一点无所适从。幸运的是学校开设了护航关顾项目,孩子回家愉悦地告诉我们第一讲是“新环境,新开始”,老师们教导他们如何适应新的校园生活,如何有效地处理身边的关系,如何保护自己,怎么尊重老师,怎样和谐与同伴相处等。孩子觉得受益非浅。我们也很欣慰,非常感谢学校能在开学之初给孩子们上这么一堂及时有效的情商课。
我们学校的孩子,将来大部分要出国学习和生活。孩子们的安全意识、安全技能、安全习惯都需要在国内慢慢地养成。这个课程可以帮助孩子在跨文化的生活中更好的规范自己的行为,锻炼出更强的抗压承受能力,快速适应国外的学习生活。学校现在开展的这项课程是未雨绸缪,这种潜移默化的德育才是最有实效的教育。学校的教授远比我们在家里唠唠叨叨来得有效。
我们听孩子讲学校强调了学术诚信和时间管理的重要性。这些列入学校常规要求的内容必将使孩子受益终身。
