Whitehead: The Purpose of Education —— Reading Notes
School education is second-hand, even third-hand. All knowledge comes from life and is summarized from the observation of nature and society.

The first goal of learning is not knowledge itself, but the way to acquire knowledge.

We must remember that self-development is the most valuable intellectual development. This development usually occurs between 16-38 0 years old. The most important thing to cultivate this kind of self-development is to get it from my mother before 12 years old.

The concept of inertia is knowledge that is only accepted by the brain but has not been practiced or verified, and it is not universal.

If we avoid ideological rigidity,

Don't teach too many subjects at once.

Second, if you teach, you must teach thoroughly.

For a course that is obviously designed for a wide range of cultural literacy, it is a bit contradictory to allow differentiation. But if there is no contradiction in this world, it will become empty and tasteless. In my opinion, if division is excluded in education, it is destroying life.

The most rare thing is to cultivate all spiritual qualities-appreciation of style, which is a perception of style, a sense of beauty, and an unconscious heartfelt praise for a foreseeable result.

The power of style-avoid omitting irrelevant things and go straight to the goal.

Style is the privilege of experts.

Napoleon's famous saying

I only have one suggestion for you-be your own master.

Shakespeare

The best good people are those who have experienced and made mistakes. A person often shows his cuteness because of a little shortcoming.

Listen more and talk less, accept everyone's criticism, but keep your final decision.

The failure of millions of people lies in their incompleteness, and they often stop when they are only one step away from success.

Nothing is good or bad, but thoughts will have an impact.

Education is the art of teaching people how to use knowledge. This is a difficult art to master.

We should not make knowledge rigid, but make it alive-this is the core problem of all education. demonstrate

Stimulate students' thirst for knowledge, improve students' judgment, forge students' ability to control the environment, and enable students to use theoretical knowledge to predict special situations-these abilities can not be reflected only by a few test sheets.

All teachers with practical experience know that education is a process that requires patience and patience in details. Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, there is no shortcut to learning. The problem of education is how to make students know the forest with the help of trees. Some people can't see the forest for the trees.

chapter two

The rhythm of education

In different stages of students' psychological development, different courses and different learning methods should be adopted.

Romantic stage, accurate stage, comprehensive utilization stage of factory, and cycle stage.

chapter three

Freedom and the rhythm of training

The most natural way to stimulate life to develop in a direction that suits you is to be happy. Happiness is a normal and healthy way to stimulate vitality. We should seek a model that conforms to the law of natural development, which is pleasant in itself, allowing people to seek and arrange personality development in their own happiness. Strict training in a secondary position must be to ensure some long-term interests. To maintain the necessary interest, we must have a suitable goal, not too low.

The importance of knowledge lies in its application.

Romantic stage (thirteen or fourteen years old)

Freedom must be emphasized and children should be allowed to observe and act on their own.

Precise stage (14- 18)

The only important training is self-training, which can only be obtained by fully enjoying freedom.

It is the stage of understanding the principle by mastering accurate knowledge details.

Comprehensive application stage (18-22)

The mind is trained and is an effective individual.

It is the stage of abandoning details and actively applying principles, when the details of knowledge retreat into subconscious habits.

Essence: Get rid of the state of passive training and enter the free state of active application of knowledge. (such as seventh grade)

The whole purpose of education is to make people have positive wisdom.
