original title: yuan yiqun: educating students wholeheartedly for 20 years on the podium

yuan yiqun communicates with students in class.

red net news reporter chen zonghao and correspondent wang xuan reported from shaoyang

having been teaching for 20 years, yuan yiqun has many labels: member of the hunan province elementary mathematics council, excellent class teacher in shaoyang city, the most beautiful moral education worker in shaoyang city, backbone mathematics teacher in dongkou county...

under the halo, he has a pure heart that loves education and cares about students. he said that every child is a seed, and a "teacher" is a lifelong gardener. so, he walked, sat and studied with his students, watered, accompanied and cared for them for three years.

today, these seeds have spread all over the world, shining brightly in all walks of life.

teachers are kindhearted and gentle

to educate people first and then teach is yuan yiqun's unchanging creed.

in 2004, after graduating from university, yuan yiqun started teaching at dongkou no. 3 middle school. in 2005, he began to serve as a class teacher.

when he was still lacking experience, he faced a very daunting challenge - managing a class composed of students with specialties in music, sports and art. although this class was full of vitality and creativity, it also brought a lot of management difficulties.

how to help these children build confidence in learning was the first problem he had to solve. during a class meeting, yuan yiqun asked, "why do we need to study?"

the students answered enthusiastically: "for a better life, for the expectations of our parents..." he nodded in agreement and gave his own answer: "study for the rise of china, and then help the world, help others, and influence society."

"study for the rise of china", this motto in the book was once familiar to students but seemed far away. however, under his personal practice, the grand ideal quietly penetrated into their hearts and inspired every young heart. from then on, the road of learning became a journey full of strength and passion, and the class ranking was often among the best.

the sports student was lively and active, always wanting to play more basketball. yuan yiqun did not oppose it blindly, but proposed a trade-off: "you can play basketball, but you have to beat me first." after several games, the student was convinced, and his learning attitude and enthusiasm improved significantly.

when faced with conflicts and disputes among students, he is not only an "iron-faced judge" to judge right and wrong, but also a "confidant mentor" to listen to their inner voices. on weekdays, he is not only the "cheerleader" during campus competitions, but also the "chief planner" of student birthday parties...

he loves his students like his own children. xiao li, a student in the class of 2014, lost her father and her mother was in poor health. for three years, yuan yiqun fought for a scholarship for her and exempted her from some of her tuition and miscellaneous fees. during the summer vacation after her senior year of high school, she also started a crowdfunding campaign for her mother who had cancer and donated 1,000 yuan personally.

the teacher's ingenuity is unique

mathematics, due to its complex system and abstract content, has become a "difficult" subject for many students.

but yuan yiqun believed that mathematics was a technical subject and must not be learned mechanically. in order to make mathematics easier to learn, he explored a set of methodologies.

in september 2018, he was transferred to dongkou no. 1 middle school and has been teaching there ever since. the changes in the teaching environment and students' foundation have put forward higher requirements for his teaching, and laying the foundation is still the part he attaches the most importance to.

starting from the textbook is the key. the biggest feature of his class is to explain things in simple terms. no matter how difficult the math problem is, he will restore it layer by layer to the most basic knowledge points in the textbook, just like peeling an onion, so as to obtain the solution method.

after consolidating the foundation, we need to expand our thinking. yuan yiqun also prepared some "killing tricks" for multiple-choice questions for students, such as l'hôpital's rule, square sum inequality, cauchy inequality, etc., which were very popular among students.

in pursuit of a scientific and efficient classroom, he joined the hunan provincial elementary mathematics council and actively participated in teaching research; went to peking university, hengshui middle school and other schools for training and exchanges; and repeatedly achieved good results in various teaching competitions: won the first prize of the school in the 2022 young teachers' proposition competition, and won the second prize of the school in the 2022 same course different structure competition; in 2023, xie yijie, the instructor of the qinglan project reporting class of dongkou no. 1 middle school, won the school's special prize; in 2023, xie yijie, the instructor of the dongkou county young teachers' teaching competition, won the second prize of the county.
