The platform is three feet wide, and you cultivate peaches and plums in the garden.

-Remember Professor Zhang Binxian of Beijing Normal University, the winner of Baosteel's Special Award for Excellent Teachers in 2009?

Above the three-foot platform, do your duty and teach people tirelessly; In the season when peaches and plums are fragrant, he is open-minded and enjoys it; When writing a book, he is willing to be lonely and diligent in exploration.

Treating students, he seems to be painting meticulous paintings, carving carefully and loving life as much as his son. He is one of the most popular teachers because of his profound knowledge and rigorous scholarship.

He seems to be painting freehand brushwork when dealing with academics. He is the leader of the teaching team and the leader who guides the development direction of the discipline.

He is our hero-Professor Zhang Binxian of Beijing Normal University, the winner of the 2009 Baosteel Excellent Teacher Special Award.

Being a teacher is more important than loving.

As a leader in the research field of foreign educational history, Zhang Binxian always thinks that he is a teacher first, and his first duty should be teaching. 1July 1986, he was only 25 years old. After graduating from master's degree, he has started his teaching career on the podium. Although the title of "teacher" is simple, it is one of his most cherished titles. He thinks he is a teacher first, then a scholar and a manager. Since teaching, he has taught undergraduate courses such as the history of foreign education, western educational thoughts, modern western educational schools, the history of foreign educational management, and educational politics. Postgraduate courses include special research on educational history and research methods of educational history. There are countless people who listen to his lectures, and his lessons are always full of wisdom. Therefore, it has also won a series of honors, such as the National Teaching Achievement Award, the National Excellent Curriculum, the Famous Teacher Award in Colleges and Universities, and the "Four Groups" of talents. In his view, these honors are more about giving him greater responsibility and mission.

"Teaching is the bounden duty of teachers, and I love teaching very much." This is a sentence that impressed the reporter the most in the interview. In the present form, there are always various external factors, which make many teachers pay more attention to the proportion of scientific research in teaching and research. In teacher Zhang's mind, "teaching comes first". Talking about teachers' responsibilities, Zhang Binxian believes that students are growing individuals, and the development needs of students are the premise of teachers' professional existence and the fundamental purpose of teachers' work. Under the guidance of this concept, he has gone further and further on the road of teaching, which may be one of the reasons why he is respected by many students.

In the communication with Mr. Zhang's students, we learned that Mr. Zhang has always emphasized "far-reaching" and asked to keep his leading position in the discipline at all times. He said that the education discipline of Beijing Normal University is a model in the whole country, and his research team of foreign education history is also the largest team in universities across the country. However, he never stood still and was confined to the academic circle of Beijing Normal University and even China. He actively participated in the communication at home and abroad, experienced the frontier dynamics of academic information, and kept his academic in a "constant new" state. He believes that only by standing at the highest end of the field can we look at the whole development and change, bring the fastest and most accurate information to students, and lead students to higher and further. Zhang Binxian is such a teacher and scholar. He likes to be with students, loves teaching and the history of western education, which constructs his understanding of all the meanings of teachers and scholars, and this persistent love is the fundamental source of his teaching methods.

Division of labor and cooperation, interaction between teaching and research

In 2008, the course History of Foreign Education taught by Professor Zhang Binxian was rated as a national excellent course. In the same year, the History of Foreign Educational Thoughts edited by him was rated as a national excellent textbook.

"It is absolutely impossible for this course to become a national quality course by one person. It depends on the efforts of our entire team. " Professor Zhang Binxian particularly emphasized the importance of teamwork in the construction of this course. After years of hard work, the course has formed a teaching team that can adapt to the development of the subject, consisting of six people led by Professor Zhang Binxian. In daily teaching, Professor Zhang Binxian is responsible for teaching coordination and giving full play to the expertise of teachers in different professional fields. As Professor Zhang Binxian said: "Team teaching not only ensures the breadth of knowledge, but also makes up for the lack of a single teacher's knowledge structure, so that students can learn knowledge in various fields."

When it comes to the relationship between teaching and scientific research, Professor Zhang Binxian has his own opinions. He said that the improvement of teaching level and the progress of scientific research are mutually causal and promote each other. Through scientific research practice, teachers deeply explore new scientific research problems and gain new theories and insights, which are helpful to enrich classroom teaching content. Through teaching practice, active young students keep asking new questions, which provides new clues and new ideas for teachers to explore research directions and topics. Therefore, in Mr. Zhang's view, the combination of high-quality teaching practice and high-level scientific research is the guarantee of creating excellent courses and the only way to enhance the overall strength of the discipline. He sincerely believes that "the growth of students is an inexhaustible motive force for the development of teachers".

Therefore, he regards the organic combination of teaching and scientific research as the working goal that he has been insisting on and working hard in his talent training and scientific research career for more than 20 years. He firmly believes that only by transforming scientific research achievements into teaching contents in time, constantly transmitting the latest knowledge to students, constantly reforming teaching methods and updating teaching means can knowledge transmission be more effective and students be interested in learning and curious.

Spring breeze, rain, fun, education and love.

"Teacher Zhang always takes his students to heart and cares about their affairs as his own," said his student Sabrina, a 2008 doctoral student in the history of foreign education. She is now a teacher in Yunnan Normal University. It was a word from teacher Zhang that inspired her to embark on the road of teaching and educating people. At that time, Mr. Zhang was the instructor of Sabrina's undergraduate thesis. After carefully reviewing Sebrina's paper, Teacher Zhang gave her many pertinent opinions and suggestions for revision. He said to Sabrina, "As long as you make up your mind, you can still go further on the road of academic research." It is this sentence that makes Sabrina full of confidence in herself and has always adhered to the road of academic research on foreign history and made remarkable achievements. She said frankly, "I wouldn't be here today without teacher Zhang's affirmation and constant concern."

Teacher Zhang Binxian's teaching is famous for its rigor. So many of his students have suffered. His doctoral student told reporters that Mr. Zhang once arranged for him to read a book report on the history of western education in English. As a result, because he was lazy, he borrowed a Chinese translation directly from the library, wrote a book report and handed it in. As a result, it was suddenly seen through and severely criticized by the "eye-catching" teacher Zhang. Professor Zhang Binxian told him earnestly, "The first element of academic research is scientific rigor. Without rigorous scholarship, it is impossible to achieve results. Historical research should be based on first-hand research materials and need to be rigorous and rigorous. "

Teach them to fish, not fish. Professor Zhang Binxian pays attention to the organic combination of knowledge imparting and ability training. He used various means and different links to broaden students' horizons and cultivate students' ability to understand, judge and use knowledge. He believes that the purpose of teaching is not only to make students become talents, but also to make students become adults. Learn to be a man first, then learn.

His students say that Mr. Zhang always brings many surprises to the students in class. In class, he not only teaches us knowledge, but also teaches us learning methods and shares his thoughts. We like to listen to teacher Zhang's class, and we like the good methods and ideas that teacher Zhang shared with us.

Professor Zhang Binxian encouraged his students to say, "The university campus is an experimental place for life. In college, we should dare to try and explore; " University is a temple of knowledge, but it is not an ATM. It takes unremitting efforts to acquire knowledge and everything you want. "With his encouragement and guidance, his students expanded their branches in all directions and developed the discipline of western educational history in universities across the country. He felt very gratified.

For more than 20 years, Zhang Binxian has educated countless people. He has coached dozens of graduate students, and countless undergraduates have been directly or indirectly coached by him. Students who have been educated and guided by Mr. Zhang, whether they are masters, doctors or undergraduates, are obsessed with Mr. Zhang's rigor, seriousness, carefulness and love. Every Teacher's Day, he receives congratulatory letters from students all over the world. The students expressed their gratitude and love for Mr. Zhang in sincere language, and said that they would continue the educational spirit inherited by Mr. Zhang in their posts.

The pursuit of a new starting point is endless.

From June 5438 to October 2009/kloc-0, Professor Zhang Binxian retired from the management position of the dean of the School of Education of Beijing Normal University. In his opinion, the biggest change is that he has more time to teach and do research wholeheartedly. Over the past year, Professor Zhang Binxian feels that he has returned to a familiar environment, and all aspects of teaching and scientific research have been handled with ease.

In 2009, he won many awards, such as the Beijing and national famous teacher award, the first prize of excellent teaching achievement in Beijing higher education, and the second prize of national higher education teaching achievement. At the same time, the western education history teaching team he presided over was rated as an excellent teaching team of Beijing Normal University. In addition, he also organized team members to co-write a variety of books, such as The President Series of Famous American Universities. Talking about the work plan for the new year, Professor Zhang Binxian talked about the plan to open a public elective course "American Education History" in the whole school, so that more students who like the history of western education have the opportunity to get in touch with the knowledge and cutting-edge information in related fields.

In this ever-changing modern society, the subject of educational history has been marginalized to some extent, and many people have such prejudice against history. In this regard, Zhang Binxian said: "The history of education is not a subject of quick success and instant benefit, but a knowledge full of wisdom and fun." Professor Zhang Binxian's words show us a scholar's love for the subject. For him, teaching and educating people and studying the history of western education is not so much a knowledge and a career as an attitude towards life, a height and a realm that can be pursued all his life.
