First of all, quality education re-examines the functions of schools.
School is a widespread social organization. Fundamentally speaking, school education is a social activity to cultivate people. It promotes individual's physical and mental development and socialization by transmitting social production and life experience to individuals. On the premise of traditional education, schools have two main functions: one is to promote personal development; The second is the function of social choice. At present, the society overemphasizes the selection function of schools, pursues scores and enrollment rate, but ignores the cultivation of ideals, individuality and innovative spirit. Students' personality is distorted in mechanical memory, passive acceptance and closed management, which greatly hinders people's physical and mental health. We emphasize quality education, so we should re-examine the functions of schools and change the imbalance of school functions. In other words, it is necessary to coordinate the functions of schools and promote the balance between the functions of personal development and social choice. Emphasize the function of personal development, that is, according to the basic quality requirements of society for everyone, the basic laws of personal physical and mental development and different personality characteristics, and gradually hand over the selection function to the society through the influence of education.
Second, the transformation of teachers' functions in quality education.
Traditional education emphasizes that teachers should establish a career, have good conduct and noble moral character, teach students to do things and help them solve difficult problems, which is called "preaching, teaching and solving doubts". However, in today's era of emphasizing personality quality education, it is unrealistic and impossible to still use those functions of the past to restrain teachers in modern society. I think the function of teachers in quality education should be changed from "preaching, teaching and solving doubts" to "organizing, guiding and answering questions".
1, morality. In a society with a single traditional value orientation, it is possible to pass on the mainstream culture and etiquette of Confucianism from generation to generation. However, in the modern information society, traditional morality degenerates and values are diversified. It is useless to demand the educated with a unified value standard in the era of individuality. Because quality education advocates students' reaction ability, innovation ability, adaptability and self-development ability, it is impossible to train talents with these abilities by using a single standard of right and wrong to restrain students. For example, the theory of human origin in American schools can introduce creationism at the same time as evolution theory, which shows that Americans don't understand science, but it is helpful for students to judge right and wrong by themselves, and it is absolutely helpful for students' imagination and innovation ability, which meets the requirements of quality education. When we were young, we all learned the text "The Tortoise and the Rabbit Race". Teachers today, like teachers in the past, are still only teaching students the idea that pride makes people lag behind and modesty makes people progress. If the rabbit doesn't sleep that long and suddenly wakes up, who can run fast? Why? Not many people seem to talk about it. Therefore, in the era of quality education, the function of preaching should be weakened, and teachers should be required to focus on organizing students to learn knowledge, introduce knowledge and organize students to exchange experiences.
