Study hard and strive for perfection —— Reflections on Ye Shengtao's Essays on Chinese Education
Mr. Ye Shengtao's Chinese education thought is an important thought and practical basis for Chinese educators to carry out effective teaching research at present. It is an important path for us to study and improve Chinese teaching in junior middle schools. Next, I will read the book "Vigorously study Chinese teaching and improve Chinese teaching as soon as possible" and talk about my own thinking and gains.
Mr. Ye Shengtao first described his study experience in a private school when he was a child. He first read San Zi Jing and Qian Zi Wen, then Four Books, The Book of Songs, The Book of Changes, and then Zuo Zhuan. All these require him to read the article thoroughly before reciting it, so that he can not only know the characters widely, but also let the students speak the ancient written language.
Looking at the teachers from ancient times to the present, teaching Chinese in primary and secondary schools is in the same strain as in ancient times, and most of them are talking about books. We can imagine that in a class, the teacher is chattering in the center of the platform, and the students seem to only need a passive and simple response. It is conceivable that the effect of students' learning will be greatly reduced.
The Chinese curriculum standard of middle school stipulates: the mixed teaching of vernacular Chinese and classical Chinese in junior middle school has different proportions in each grade, with more white characters in junior grades and less white characters in senior grades; Classical Chinese is completely taught in senior high school. At that time, teaching some vernacular Chinese just followed the trend, and the main purpose was still to boil down to ancient Chinese. Junior high school students are generally afraid of classical Chinese, and classical Chinese teaching is one of the four major sectors of Chinese teaching.
Is the teacher really just "talking"? Do students really just "listen"? Can Chinese teaching achieve results between "speaking" and "listening"? What is the purpose of learning classical Chinese? Blending with learning will not hinder each other but complement each other? This series of questions made our teacher deeply reflect, and his heart became bottomless.
Mr. Lv Shuxiang's words in Two Problems to be Solved in Chinese Teaching are alarming and thought-provoking. "Ten years, more than 2,700 class hours were spent on learning Chinese, but most of them failed. Isn't it strange! " He also said, "You should ask several students with good Chinese skills about their experiences and say with one voice that they have benefited a lot from extracurricular reading." As Chinese teachers, we should really study how to improve the efficiency of Chinese teaching.
Every time I read this passage from Mr. Lv Shuxiang, there is always a mission and responsibility on my shoulders. Chinese is a tool, which is used in astronomy, geography, biology, mathematics, scientific culture in natural science, literature, history, philosophy and classics in social science, as well as learning, expression and communication. Only when every student is good at using this tool can Chinese teaching contribute to greatly improving the scientific and cultural level of the whole Chinese nation.
Teacher Ye Shengtao earnestly appeals to Chinese teachers and Chinese workers to work together to study Chinese teaching and improve it as soon as possible!
"Say" is to achieve the purpose of not having to "say". In other words, "teaching" is to achieve the purpose of not "teaching". When our students enter the door and go on the road, they can explore and practice independently and solve problems in complicated things, so naturally they don't need to "teach"? What a high realm this is! Let's move towards "teaching" for the academic realm of "not teaching".
Mr. Ye Shengtao said that Chinese textbooks are nothing more than examples. With this example, students should be able to draw inferences from others and develop their reading and writing skills. Teachers should "talk" about the essence of urging students to "combat the three evils" and must stimulate students' initiative and guide them to explore as much as possible. Teachers need to study how to inspire students.
Regarding the teaching of classical Chinese, we should try our best to break through the difficulties, pay attention to innovation, and gradually break through the traditional teaching methods, so that our students can learn classical Chinese happily and effectively, and the process of learning classical Chinese can become a process of aesthetic appreciation and spiritual growth. Professor Wang Rongsheng's "four aspects"-classical Chinese, articles, literature and culture, constitute four dimensions of classical Chinese teaching, thus creating a way to perceive classical Chinese.
The significance and value of composition teaching lies in that people need composition at any time in their lives and work, and everyone needs composition. For example, writing letters, making reports, writing summaries, writing speeches, writing manuals, writing research papers, etc. All need a solid language foundation and literacy. In composition teaching, there are some phenomena, such as telling lies, saying cliches, talking nonsense, and saying things that are puzzling to you. As a teacher, we should first ask students to seek truth from facts and tell the truth, and never allow duplicity, insincerity or fraud.
It takes a lot of time and energy to "fine-tune" the composition. Can the teacher do it? Students know whether writing in this way is good or not, and it may not be translated into the actual ability of writing. Therefore, regarding the evaluation and correction of composition, we still need to focus on the futile work of correcting composition to make it solid and meaningful.
As far as students' writing ability is concerned, it is really too little; The teacher is too heavy to correct the composition. Despite the painstaking efforts, there is always a common feeling that the effect is not good. In my opinion, composition teaching should pay attention to the close relationship between "correcting" and "writing" and cultivate students' ability of self-correcting. How teachers should guide and guide students to develop this ability is a topic worthy of joint study by every Chinese educator.
Finally, Teacher Ye Shengtao emphasized that the specific and clear steps of writing are to make a brief outline before writing, that is, to conceive, then to write the content, and finally to review and revise it yourself. If we can guide students to form such good habits, they will benefit for life. The teacher's task is to guide students into the water and practice swimming skills in practical and effective ways. The most effective way is to write a water composition with students, so that we can guide students more confidently.
Mr. Ye Shengtao has the ideal of "putting education first in founding the country". He paid attention to and studied education in China all his life, and actively explored education reform. I will follow the footsteps of the master, read the classics carefully, study hard, learn Chinese from Mr. Ye Shengtao, and strive to improve Chinese teaching, so as to finally realize the happy growth of teachers and students in the classroom.
