What is the connotation of education?
Education is the abbreviation of teaching and educating people, and its main connotation has two aspects, one is teaching and the other is educating people.

Let's talk about the first aspect, teaching.

Teaching is mainly to teach students knowledge and skills, which mainly refers to the reproduction, reprocessing and transmission of knowledge.

But we can't simply understand teachers as porters of knowledge and skills.

Because even if it is spread, it needs to be integrated into educators' own understanding of knowledge and skills, and educators need to have certain teaching art and means.

We can understand that educators are planners and promoters of knowledge transfer activities. In the process of planning and promotion, it is necessary to give full play to the accumulation of educators' teaching experience, their own quality and personal experience, rather than simply following the book.

On the other hand, educating people has a deeper connotation.

The philosopher Jaspers said that the essence of education is that a tree shakes a tree, a cloud pushes a cloud, and a soul awakens a soul.

Roman Roland said that one can only guide others, but not walk instead of others.

In addition to transmitting knowledge and skills, the more important significance of education lies in guiding and guiding students to think independently, training their thinking ability, expanding their horizons, and allowing students to innovate and create new things while inheriting.

A good education is not just boring preaching and accepting all the wisdom of predecessors. It is to stimulate students' internal motivation to learn and tap their potential. At the same time, it is necessary to exert a subtle positive influence on students through educators' own personality charm and personal practice, so that students' consciousness and behavior can be constantly corrected and developed under this influence.
