See the forest first, then see the trees. This is the teaching method in Finland and the educational model in many western countries. And the education we are used to is a forward-looking tree, goodbye Lin.
Seeing the forest first is to let children know the whole picture of the overall curriculum concept and learning objectives. The educational model of foresight tree is that many students may feel tired in the long and meticulous process and give up halfway before they have a chance to see the forest, thus missing the opportunity to see the beauty of the whole forest through a big tree.
For example, the correct way for us to enlighten our children in English can be situational immersion, so that children can feel the sense of English language through the daily dialogue of children's songs, and then gradually learn words and sentences. Instead of learning from boring letters and phonetic symbols at the beginning.
Using the teaching method of foresight tree, many students feel "no talent" and lose interest because they can't master the content quickly during the process of repeated learning and tempering, which leads to the final abandonment of this course and the difficulty in maintaining their interest in learning.
In Finland, although the salary level of basic education teachers is far less than that of lawyers and doctors, teachers are the first choice for high school students and a highly respected industry. Teachers' professional quality is comparable to that of lawyers and doctors, and they have high social status and influence, and are also endowed with high expectations and social responsibilities.
For teachers, the state cancels the supervision and performance appraisal of teachers, so that the autonomy of local governments and teachers is supreme. Primary and secondary school teachers have master's degrees, and kindergarten teachers have bachelor's degrees.
Teachers in Finland don't correct homework, but students check their answers in class, or after the teacher explains in class, students correct themselves. This kind of behavior may make us feel confused and puzzled, but they think that teachers don't have to correct their homework, they can spend more time preparing lessons, thinking and resting, and students can check their own answer books. Not only do they not correct their homework, but they also spend little time on other "formal" things, such as writing parents' contact books and participating in competitions between teachers.
1994 Finnish education has begun a major innovation, and the central government is only responsible for formulating the curriculum outline, which is really implemented by local governments. Not only educational institutions and schools at all levels have full autonomy, but also expand and deepen the enthusiasm and confidence of teachers to participate in teaching plans. When school teachers feel that they have the ability to change society and a sense of participation, the whole education system will have the motivation to improve.
The Board of Education believes that teachers have a lot of work to do, they need to spend a lot of time on curriculum and teaching planning, and they don't need to go around in details. The teacher's purpose is to lead everyone to find a motivation for thinking and self-learning, not just to help students provide answers.
There are no "poor students" in Finland, or "poor students" are very happy in Finland.
Many countries attach importance to education, because as we all know, the only thing that can build a country's future is human resources, and good education is the only trick to turn human resources into talents. As early as the17th century, Finland set a norm in its laws and regulations: all couples who are about to get married must be literate before they can enter the auditorium, because the church wants young people to read the Bible.
Finland attaches great importance to education in a unique way-equal access to education. That is, the country with the smallest education gap in the world mentioned at the beginning of the article. Finland belongs to the most fundamental humanistic thought when most countries are engaged in fierce educational competition. Really and naturally move towards basic education, without haste, contention, meaningless "competition" and "ranking".
All the examinations in the school are designed to let students know where they should improve, provide a foundation for their future growth and provide room for their learning ability to improve. They are never meant to demoralize students and teachers, and become tools to criticize others for falling behind and not making progress.
They don't encourage or emphasize students to compete since childhood, but inspire and help each child find his own life value, and at the same time establish a positive learning mentality that can be pursued all his life.
From primary school to middle school, we should focus on cultivating students' reading habits, mathematical analysis ability and daily life skills. Focus on understanding and exploring principles. We hope that through education, children will know the origin of most knowledge, learn to ask "why" and understand why things are like this. It is not to cope with the repeated training of teachers, nor to teach the secret of quick success and instant benefit.
Finland, in particular, not only spends a lot of manpower and spirit on basic education, but also gives extra guidance, care and resources to those students who can't keep up with the progress or learn slowly for a while.
For example, mixed-age teaching is not based on Montessori education, but a teaching method that some places have to adopt because of the sparse population. However, the challenge of mixed-age teaching to teachers is very high, which depends on teachers' teaching methods, organization and coordination ability.
In addition, there are tutorial classes. Children in remedial classes may be different from most children, but they will not be called "poor students". Their learning style and progress are different from those of other students. For example, we will specially design a model that we can learn from practice, and we will also plan the course content with our children, starting from the aspects that children are interested in. This is also the hope that they can come to school full of expectations.
It is a time-consuming and laborious thing to continuously strengthen education and counseling for children with low learning ability, which requires huge educational resources. The Finnish government has continuously invested in training in schools all over the country, from grade one to grade nine.
"Let no one fall behind", how great such education is, should be the essence of education. Only by respecting the educational concept of "all beings are equal" can children and the country have a better future.
How many children have been labeled and abandoned by the system since childhood. Since everyone is a member of society, no one can give up, and no one has the right to decide what kind of people can give up, especially the fragile children who are still growing up.
The school only looks at the enrollment rate and only pays attention to the students who meet the standards. However, the winners and high scores are a minority, and the vast majority are abandoned.
Even if you win at the starting point, you will run out of strength and endurance halfway. Children who run in front from the beginning, if the motivation does not come from themselves, but from the pressure and expectation of society and family, will lose their spontaneous enthusiasm at an early age, and finally they will not be able to run the marathon of life brilliantly and completely.
Many people never want to study again after graduating from college. Many people always think that learning is a painful and unavoidable thing.
In Finland, there are no "genius classes" (experimental classes, rocket classes and the like). Children can only enter school at the age of seven, and the school does not flaunt elite training. Adolescent students, from the sixth grade, girls began to fade, apply mascara and highlight their hair. But the teachers let it develop naturally and did not deliberately control it. Instead, they encourage children to be natural and mature.
They have no uniform, fewer classes and long holidays.
Some primary schools divide the first two years into three years for students to study. Usually, we prefer "skip" to "repeat". But in Finland, it is urgent to think that the most important enlightenment in life is based on this foundation and the most important stage of personality cultivation.
Finnish educators believe that children before 10 are the basic stage of all learning attitudes and reading habits. If we can find more children who need help in all aspects as soon as possible and cooperate with them to design courses suitable for their ability development, even if we spend an extra year or two, the resources for extra counseling for these children will be reduced compared with the overall education in the future.
Trust is the core value of Finnish education. They think that giving freedom is the beginning of taking responsibility. Only school education that fully combines life education can realize the foundation of children's sustainable learning.
Under the Finnish education system, students can maintain their independence, manage themselves well, cultivate the ability of lifelong learning, start the motivation of learning and find the essence of things.
There are no children who can't teach well, only teachers, schools and society who are willing to give their children hope and patiently accompany and wait for them.
Every child is the darling of his parents and the builder of the future society, and should receive due attention and education, instead of being "abandoned" because one aspect can't keep up with the "high standards".
Helping children to start learning, guiding children to the society and finding their own value factors are the foundation of education.
