Primary school is an important stage of knowledge and habit enlightenment, and primary education is the foundation. To some extent, primary education can even determine a person's life direction.
At present, the shortcomings of primary education are obvious:
First, pay more attention to the cultivation of knowledge than habit.
Bacon said that habit is really a tenacious and huge force, which can dominate a person's life. Therefore, people should cultivate a good habit through education from an early age.
It can be seen how important good habits are to a person. However, the current primary education pays more attention to the explanation of knowledge, and there are shortcomings in the cultivation of learning habits and learning quality.
In the practice of high school and vocational education, it is found that many students' pen-holding posture and reading posture are incorrect, which is also a habit. But these bad habits are also formed over time, or when problems arise, these students are not corrected in time.
The second is to attach importance to imparting knowledge and ignore the cultivation of interest.
Primary school is the beginning of a person's cognition, and it is also the best time to cultivate a person's hobbies.
Einstein said that interest is the best teacher.
Confucius also said that knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy.
If you are interested, you will have endless motivation to learn. Children in primary schools are curious about many things. If we pay attention to the cultivation of children's hobbies, it will undoubtedly play a vital role in a person's growth and success.
Third, pay attention to mechanical memory and ignore the improvement of ability.
In primary school, children's memory is super strong. I have seen many children skillfully recite the vocabulary at the back. There are hundreds of words, but they can recite from the first word to the last word.
But for the use and application of words, these abilities are much worse.
In view of the above situation, the author believes that we should start from the following aspects:
First, we should pay attention to the cultivation of study habits and learning quality in primary school, and both families and schools should pay attention to it.
The second is to discover children's interests in time, explore the aspects that children are most interested in, and focus on care.
The third is to expand children's cognitive field through various methods and ways, and do everything possible to cultivate children's practical ability.
