School is a beautiful word. The birth of the school has made it possible for more people to become more capable, thoughtful and wise. However, the difficulties faced by school education nowadays, such as those seriously quantified educational results and those seriously materialized career ideals, are being criticized more and more. The modern school education system is like an octopus, which seems to make everyone a prisoner and it is difficult to escape its tentacles.
School is first and foremost a place that students like, and a place where happiness keeps growing. Like is an important prerequisite for learning, and happiness is the source of motivation for students to learn. If students can't find happiness in school, then everything is a burden; If students don't like schools and teachers, then for students, our education may mean ending before it starts. No matter how emotional and vivid the teacher speaks, students will automatically block the teacher's information. There is a saying in the Book of Changes: I begged Meng Tong and Meng Tong begged me. This means that I am not asking the ignorant (to learn), but the ignorant asks me (to teach). This sentence tells the essence of teaching and learning. Therefore, the first professional accomplishment of teachers should be to study students and how to make students have interest and desire in learning, rather than studying the subject knowledge itself.
The school should be a place where students feel free, relaxed and happy, and it really should be a place where students are willing to choose.
School environment is a natural textbook. The significance of school existence lies not only in the inheritance of culture and the continuation of education, but also in making learning happen anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the school should build an ecology. Every flower and grass is a landscape, which can not only be viewed, but also be used as a resource for learning and growth. This ecological environment provides natural and readable books for students' learning and growth, which will make students read freely unconsciously and without utility. In such an ecological world, every child can have a life dialogue and link with the scenery and things, flowers, pigeons and rabbits on campus, thus building students' own unique spiritual world.
Schools should establish an open new learning order. Instead of teaching in different classes, the school allows students to choose courses, which breaks the boundaries of traditional classes and allows students to choose their own learning partners and growth mentors in different classes, different teachers and different student groups. Only through this kind of open learning can students get personalized and suitable education. American teacher of the year John, 199 1? Taylor? Gaeto once said that teaching is very important in open learning, but it is not a profession, and anyone who has something to teach can teach it. It is up to the students to choose who is the teacher and who is not. Students are active leaders.
Teachers can't be born with a sense of superiority in educating others, and students can't always be in the position of being educated. There is no teaching and being taught, only learning; Here, learning is a personal event through the cooperation between teachers and partners; Here, the school is to create an atmosphere for children to experience and learn according to their own interests and favorite ways. Everyone's growth needs self-discovery, self-choice and self-design, and school education is to provide conditions for their discovery, choice and design.
The upside-down classroom will lead to a revolution in school education. This kind of class gives students more freedom, that is, it reverses the traditional way that students attend classes at school and do their homework at home, so that students can attend classes at home by video and finish their homework at school. Moreover, the school not only has the guidance of teachers, but also students can communicate with their classmates. In this process, each student can make different learning plans according to his own situation, and the teacher monitors each student's learning progress in the network background and provides targeted counseling.
School is a place where the mind can bloom freely. Krishnamurti, an Indian spiritual teacher, said that education must help students and teachers bloom naturally, otherwise, education will become a mechanical process to adapt to work or a certain occupation. As the current social reality, work and occupation are necessary, but if we emphasize this point too much, the flower of freedom will wither. We put too much emphasis on exams and stereotypes, which is not the main purpose of establishing schools. This does not mean weakening students' learning. On the contrary, with the blooming of students and teachers, work and career will get their proper position. To achieve this state, the premise is to keep students in a safe environment, so that they can always feel safe and free.
Schools are as warm as families. Home is a person's spiritual harbor. Schools and classrooms are not only a material environment, but also a spiritual environment. Therefore, we can design schools and decorate classrooms according to the elements and characteristics of the family, so that schools and classrooms can become the continuation of children's growth in the family. We should strive to create a family culture, so that students can be as free and safe at school as at home. Of course, this family culture not only points to students, but also points to teachers. When teachers find the feeling of home at school and enjoy the warmth of home, this feeling will naturally be passed on to students. If teachers are often suppressed, controlled and disrespected at school, their concerns will be scattered and shifted, and their emotions will fluctuate, thus infecting students with negative emotions. Let principals, teachers and students become members of another family outside the real family, trusting and loving each other. In this way, learning happens naturally and life grows quietly.
School is where students look for partners. Everyone lives in a group, which is often made up of like-minded partners. The existence of schools objectively provides an environment for students to form different partners. Students sometimes get more growth from their partners than from their teachers. People can constantly know themselves, discover themselves and develop themselves in this partnership. One of the purposes of breaking class boundaries mentioned above is to provide students with as many opportunities as possible to make suitable partners and let teachers and students meet in life.
