What are the reasons for the crisis of educational trust? I think the fundamental reason is the lack of educational function in China.
This problem has existed since ancient times. Everyone thinks that there are many educational conflicts and the crisis of trust is declining, which is actually an illusion. Strictly speaking, the problem of educational trust in China is improving. Let's be specific.
0 1 The core function of school education is missing in China. As we all know, the core task of education is to educate people. However, this function has been in short supply in our education.
First, the education in ancient China was a typical utilitarian education.
Official schools in the slave era were all aristocratic education, and ordinary people had no right to education. In the feudal era, there were both government schools and private schools, but few children of farmers really studied, and most of them were rich and powerful families for future generations to study. But no matter what period, no matter what school, almost all students are educated to get ahead and become officials. That's true. Learn written martial arts, goods and royalty? . Therefore, education in our country is utilitarian from the beginning.
Of course, there are also moral etiquette education, but many of them are dross and formal. Such as three cardinal guides and five permanent members, monarch, minister, father and son. In essence, it is for the convenience of the management of the ruling class. In this educational environment, most people are people who compete for fame and gain, obsess over their superiors and bully their subordinates, and go with the flow. Now this is the source of officialdom departmentalism, which leads to the so-called wine table culture, officialdom culture and other garbage forms, and is also advertised as? Culture? . This is not a real moral etiquette education, which should be based on equality and mutual respect.
Second, China's current education is generally utilitarian.
The Republic of China is a special period, and the education in this period is relatively closer to the essence of education. On the one hand, all Chinese people feel humiliated because of the invasion of foreign powers. At that time, ambitious people were looking for ways to save the country and the people, often regardless of personal gains and losses. On the other hand, the invasion of foreign powers also brought advanced ideas of freedom and equality.
With the reform and opening up and the rise of China's economy, the country is in urgent need of a large number of production and technical personnel. Industrialization education happened to meet the official education of imperial examination. As a result, the goal of education has changed from being an official to making direct profits, but the utilitarian nature of education is in the same strain.
Thirdly, the educational function of education in China is lacking.
Strictly speaking, it is wrong to say that the educational function of education in China is lacking, and the educational function has always existed. The purpose of our education is to cultivate people who meet the needs of industrial production, mainly to cultivate people's awareness of obedience, rules and competition. However, it lacks the most essential education of freedom, independence and openness that people should have as an independent life.
Many of the noblest qualities of human beings, such as the ability to study deeply, the ability to think about nature, life and society, and the quality of honesty and respect, are based on human freedom and independence. Without free and independent education as the most basic human being, it is difficult to form these basic qualities as human beings. People will lose the atmosphere of equality of all things, and will only be selfish and stingy.
This is the root of the current crisis of educational trust.
The overall education level in China is improving. First, the education penetration rate in China is getting higher and higher.
From 65438 to 0949, more than 80% of China was illiterate, and more than 95% was illiterate in rural areas. The enrollment rate of school-age children is 20%, and the enrollment rate of junior high school is 6%. There are only 205 colleges and universities, 1 17 1 middle schools, 4,045 ordinary middle schools and 346,800 primary schools. The total number of students is 25.7653 million.
1986 in April, the compulsory education law was passed and nine-year compulsory education began.
1989, there were 1075 institutions of higher learning, 3,984 technical secondary schools, 89,600 ordinary middle schools and 777,200 primary schools in China. The total number of students is 173530800. At the same time, 3,955,500 people in rural areas participated in literacy learning.
In 20 18, China's primary school enrollment rate reached 99.95%, junior high school enrollment rate reached 100.9%, senior high school enrollment rate reached 88.8%, and higher education enrollment rate reached 48. 10%.
Judging from the above data, the education popularization rate in China is gradually increasing. This means that the educational awareness of China citizens is expanding.
Second, the education level of China citizens is improving.
The proportion of China citizens receiving higher education is gradually increasing, which means that the educational awareness of China citizens is increasing.
Third, the civilized quality of China citizens is improving.
The urbanization rate of China is increasing year by year, reaching 59.58% in 20 18. The city is changing with each passing day, and the buildings, environment, transportation and living standards of residents are all improving. It shows that the overall civilized quality of China citizens is also improving year by year.
The most obvious change for me is urban sanitation. I remember going to Wuhan in 2000, and there was rubbish everywhere. When I went to Wuhan in 2008, the streets were fine, but the small streets were still dirty. 20 17 went to Wuhan again and found it completely changed, giving people a very neat feeling.
The unbalanced development of education level between teachers and parents is another reason for the current crisis of educational trust.
From the resumption of the college entrance examination to the present, the teachers in primary and secondary schools in China are basically normal universities. From the former normal school to the present higher normal school, the educational level of teachers has not changed much.
But the change of parents' education level is enormous. Many parents who have just resumed the college entrance examination may have just graduated from primary school, and some may even be illiterate. Teachers are generally more educated than parents, so parents trust teachers more.
Now many parents are college graduates, and some parents are even graduate students. Their educational level exceeds that of teachers, and their understanding of teachers' level is becoming clearer and clearer. Therefore, parents also have more say in education.
Simply put, the development of teachers' cognition of education lags behind that of parents.
Why do you feel that the crisis of educational trust is more serious now than before? This is an illusion.
On the one hand, the rapid development of information media provides the possibility of information interaction between everyone and society. Resulting in an exponential increase in event exposure. As a result, the events that lead us to hallucinate have increased. But it's actually less than before.
For example, in schools in the 1990s, it was common for teachers to beat and scold students. Although there is still corporal punishment, there are few acts of beating and scolding students. Teachers have generally become more civilized. First, citizens' legal awareness is increasing, and second, the educational environment of new teachers is different from before.
On the other hand, parents' educational level has improved, their educational awareness has increased, and their requirements for teachers have become higher and higher.
In the past, teachers beat and scold students, which most parents may think is normal education. But not now. With the improvement of parents' education level, parents are also thinking about education, and they are seeking a more scientific, civilized and emotional education method. Therefore, parents' doubts about teachers' education methods have increased. Tolerance for unreasonable behaviors such as teachers' beating and cursing has declined. The number of incidents leading to educational conflicts has increased, but the proportion of such incidents in education should decrease.
How to solve the crisis of educational trust First of all, to solve educational problems, the first thing is to improve teachers' educational literacy. Of course, the educational accomplishment here refers more to the professional ethics accomplishment as a teacher. The improvement of knowledge quality is second.
At present, many teachers' understanding of education still stays in a decade or two ago. This can't keep up with the development of education. It is conceivable that in a few years, many parents will be graduate students. If teachers still educate students in backward ways such as beating, scolding and punishment, parents will certainly be dissatisfied. So many scientific methods of pedagogy, psychology and behavior are not used, and the choice is simple and rude?
Second, improve the current educational environment through the reform of the state's educational model.
At present, China is undergoing economic transformation, and the demand for talents is different from before. In the first 40 years, China's economy was mainly based on production and processing, and it needed practical technical talents. In the future, China's economy will turn to science and technology research industry and basic innovation industry, which needs research and innovation talents. Therefore, the form of education in China must be reformed. Change the education based on knowledge mastery into the education based on expanding ideas. In other words, it is the general trend to change the training mode from cultivating technology-applied talents to cultivating innovative research-oriented talents.
