Announcing the 10 best teachers of the Provincial Excellent Primary School Teacher Competition

This year's primary school competition was implemented with three outstanding innovations: creating conditions for teachers of specialized subjects to take part in the competition; testing their abilities in the form of objective multiple-choice tests; taking a teaching practice test at the district level and recording teaching videos.

Besides, he also pointed out some shortcomings and limitations. That is, a few teachers do not have a deep knowledge; time allocation is not really reasonable; teaching organization skills are still lacking flexibility; the application of information technology in teaching still shows signs of technology abuse, not fully exploiting the designed ideas.

In some lessons, teachers do not pay enough attention to weak students and do not delve into students' mistakes...
