In 20 13, the "72 1" rainstorm in Beijing claimed the lives of several college students. That night, we have too many memories: for example, we learned to pry open the car door in the water, for example, we learned to recognize all kinds of signs of life that can't swim or climb trees, like fish with degenerated fins in rapids, which are fragile in the life and death of nature. If education is really an awakening, then the first thing that should be awakened is "heaven and earth personnel" and "life consciousness".
UNESCO published a report entitled "Rethinking Education-Changing to the Concept of Global Common Interests", emphasizing that modern education should be based on humanism, pay attention to life, personality, humanity and peace, and be responsible for sustainable development.
It's a bit embarrassing: 40 years later, when China's economy developed "freestyle" such as high-speed rail, Alipay and online car ride, China's education seems to be still wandering among the barren hills. In this unsettled 20 18 year, the "strictest burden reduction order in history" came, the good days of off-campus training institutions came to an end, the policy of adding extra points to the college entrance examination entered a "comprehensive clean-up period", and the wind of doing research in Daxing rose again. However, it seems that educational innovation and quality orientation are still waiting for the "last boot".
The foundation of a strong country lies in raising Mongolia. Looking around the world, the reform and innovation of basic education is in the ascendant.
Since 2000, the World Economic Cooperation Organization has organized a test for students aged 0/5 in various countries every three years, namely PISA, which is called the "World Cup in Education". Finnish students are among the best in almost all aspects, ranking first in the world in 20 10. Even so, starting from the autumn of 20 16, Finland officially launched a brand-new core curriculum outline for basic education to promote a new round of basic education reform. Cancel the teaching mode of subject-based teaching and change it to subject-based teaching. The so-called "phenomenon teaching" means that teachers provide several life and social phenomena or historical scenes, and after selecting a theme with students, teachers and students discuss a specific teaching plan together. This kind of life education with the color of inquiry learning aims to enable children to learn and develop themselves in the process of growth.
The ancients said, "Less is nature, but habit is common." In the education circle of China, a general consensus is becoming clearer and clearer: there are many reasons for the problems in our basic education, but the deepest and most fundamental reason is that children are not the center and students are not the subject. "In China, the historical task of discovering children has not yet been completed." 20 18 college entrance examination enrollment curtain is slowly unfolding. This year, the college entrance examination reform has been comprehensively promoted, and Hunan and other provinces 17 will start the new college entrance examination reform. How to make the basic education in China become a down-to-earth talent with life consciousness in enterprises is the core of "high-quality education in China". When elite education evolves into mass education, whether it is the new curriculum reform or the new college entrance examination, I am afraid that the dream of "strengthening the country by education" will eventually come true, just as the famous philosopher Jaspers wrote in What is education: "Education itself is a tree shaking another tree, a cloud pushing another cloud, and a soul awakening another soul."
There is a saying in the Book of Rites University, "Things have a beginning, things have an end, and knowing the order is a shortcut." The disqualification and anomie of all education is nothing more than a blind man touching an elephant, after his initial heart is lost. For children and parents in China, even if they take the wrong road to quality education, they will win at the "starting line". What should we do?
Where is the road? The road is under your feet.
In the land of Sanxiang, education is surging. The total scale of education in Hunan ranks seventh in China, and the comprehensive reform of college entrance examination was officially launched in 20 18. 654381On October 5th, Hunan Provincial Department of Education and other departments 1 1 issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Study Travel of Primary and Secondary School Students", focusing on "building a number of study travel bases with good demonstration and driving effect". Fortunately, the practice of Huxiang, represented by "Mud Dad", broke through the silent sky with a thunderous attitude: in nature and play, in rooting in the soil and looking up at the starry sky, we realized heaven and earth and called for natural consciousness.
Mud, which contains thousands of knowledge and breeds everything, is the best fertile ground for perceiving nature and understanding life. Children are like seeds. Only by absorbing soil nutrients can they become towering trees. Father loves like rain, silently shouldering the children's future. "Mud Dad" is an educational brand, but also a concept of educating people-deeply rooted in the accumulation of 20 years of education and the cultural precipitation of 15 years. In the open comprehensive practice course and parent-child interaction, individual interest guidance, scene infiltration experience and game interactive growth are systematically realized by stages and subjects. The weather is spectacular, enlightening wisdom, allowing children to play freely in the jungle of the world and banishing their dreams in self-cultivation and governing the country.
If "Mud Dad" is a brand of educational innovation, then Guoxue Town in Shutangshan is a treasure house of educational practice. A group of Xiangjiang ancient towns, half of Hunan cultural history. At the top of calligraphy, in Kaisheng's hometown,1.2000 mu of Shutangshan Guo Xue town vividly reproduces a thousand-year-old countryside with elegant books and vividly shows the elegant life of China. In the highland of China's cultural and educational industry, the ideal of personal life and the ideal of home culture come together and speak together. Poetic and picturesque, rural scenery, Huxiang traditional Chinese studies, these are all new modes of cultural travel life and incubators of educational innovation. Some people say, "Books used to be children's world, but now the world is children's books." Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. Enjoy piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, taste poetry, wine and tea, experience mountains and rivers, and realize spring, summer, autumn and winter. High-quality education is to teach people how to be a man and how to make a living at the beginning and when they are young. On the road, in the distance, in Guoxue Town of Shutangshan, between the scenery of clouds and the moon-the hometown of books is full of knowledge and the birth of everything.
"The elders who seek wood must consolidate their roots." No one can succeed casually, and no one can be happy casually. Although Ren, Zong and Yu's parents are not all great educators, they have consciously or unconsciously laid the foundation for rural education, life education and nature education.
Outside the classroom and books, as advocated by "Mud Dad", we should realize self-cognition, discovery, self-breakthrough and transcendence, combine learning and thinking, integrate knowledge and practice, take heaven and earth as teachers and nature as books, so as to call for a bright future for the development of quality education in China.
