The end of old teaching methods

The physics reference test has a total of 40 questions focusing on the 12th grade physics program and textbook. The fundamental change from the test drafting committee is to not cause overload and pressure in the high school graduation exam. This is the right and accurate direction.

Over the years, we have talked a lot about preventing overload and now this has been shown in the reference questions for the 2025 high school graduation physics exam. Of course, knowledge is a logical chain, but in the reference questions, there is no specific sentence or idea for the 10th and 11th grade programs that will help teachers focus on the lesson, each chapter when teaching, reviewing, testing, and practicing for the 12th grade exam.

In reality, although there are calls for innovation in teaching, teachers still mainly teach theory, with little practice. This contradicts the program and has a negative effect on the implementation of the new program. It is time for the school board and professional teams to strengthen the management of professional activities, thoroughly understand the program, and make appropriate educational plans based on the school situation. Each teacher in the classroom needs to change, understand the program, closely monitor students, and practically help them to be confident, studious, passionate about learning, and have self-study methods.

The most difficult thing about teaching 12th graders this year is to "absorb" the program and make good use of materials from textbooks to complete quality lessons. The Ministry of Education and Training's reference exam for high school graduation from 2025 "orders" teachers when preparing lessons, lessons should not require students to memorize, but the important thing is the connection through expressions to apply and develop new things on the basis of knowledge just learned. Importantly, teachers should put an end to the old teaching style, the heavy "theory-calculation-score" testing style.

Each teacher needs to explain the reference questions in detail. Then, let the professional group (team) conduct activities (study the lesson), focus on evaluating the teaching and learning situation in the past few years, use the reference questions as a reference system, point out the existing problems and take remedial measures.
