How does Australia educate children?
Hello, the way of educating children in Australia is really different from that in China. They think that people need a lot of knowledge in their life and can't learn it in one step at school. The purpose of school education is to cultivate students' healthy physique and sound personality, and to teach students how to continue learning knowledge in the future. Based on this, they pay special attention to the cultivation of students' ability in music and sports, emphasize teamwork, and are very concerned about whether students have many hobbies.

Secondly, Australian teachers are very patient with their students' education. In view of students' problems, in addition to making demands, it is important for teachers to adopt some educational methods acceptable to students according to their specific conditions, so as to truly teach students in accordance with their aptitude. I have been to a school, and the school said that the proofreader should first understand the students' basic situation and hobbies, and then make corresponding teaching plans according to his reality. For some students who need special help, such as new immigrants, the school holds regular meetings of students, parents, principals, directors, class teachers and behavior teachers on time every Monday morning. Teachers introduce students' performance in school this week, what problems students still have, and discuss what specific measures to take together.

In Australian classes, there are more than twenty students in one class, and the head teacher usually only cares about teaching. In addition, a behavior teacher is equipped to criticize and educate students who are disobedient or misbehave. Those students who have made serious mistakes are sent to the guidance office for guidance by the director, who is a doctor of psychology. They give students psychological evaluation education, punish his mistakes by reading books or finishing the homework assigned by the director, and stipulate that he can't participate in activities with his classmates all day.

It is also very interesting in the way of education. For example, if the teacher gives a reading class, if the students are still typing on the computer, they don't listen carefully. In this case, the teacher implements a clear method of reward and punishment: give him a notebook, let him write down what he did right in the notebook, and indicate how many points he can get for this matter. Teachers put the cartoon pictures of awards on students' notebooks. On weekends, students can exchange the scores recorded in the notebooks for corresponding small prizes, such as toys and candy. The students are all very happy. If you do something wrong, you should not only write down why you did it wrong in the notebook, but also deduct points. In this way, students should be very clear about what they should do and what they shouldn't do, and happily hold a notebook to calculate their scores every day.

In the classrooms of Australian schools, every student's desk is not fixed. In class, the new immigrant students don't know which seat to sit in, and always stand at the back. Most new immigrant students don't know the lessons taught by their teachers, and they don't know who to play with after class. In order to solve the problem that they can't integrate quickly, the teacher writes the student's name on a piece of paper and sticks it on his stool, so that the student knows where he should sit in class. At the same time, two students who have studied well are assigned to sit with him, and two students who are good at sports are assigned to play with him after class, so that those new immigrant students can adapt to the school environment as soon as possible. In addition, the school specially arranged language learning classes twice a week for him, assigned special teachers to teach him one-on-one, and implemented a student who also immigrated from the same country to help him learn the language to solve their language barrier problem.

The diversity of teaching in Australia is really a hundred flowers blossom. Australia is an immigrant country, and most people living in Australia are immigrants from all over the world. Teachers who immigrate to Australia from different countries integrate their traditional habits, teaching methods and different ideas into their own teaching, and at the same time absorb new ideas, new ideas and new methods from other teachers in the school. The whole teaching environment in Australia is more relaxed than that in China. What I'm talking about here is the general environment of education. For example, there are no textbooks in primary schools in Australia, and teachers organize their own textbooks according to teaching strategies. Students go home every day without homework and textbooks. The advantage of this is that teachers have enough flexibility to give full play to their talents, and they can make teaching plans and choose teaching materials according to the situation of different students in different regions. The tradition in China is unified, such as the national unified teaching materials, and schools and teachers should organize teaching in strict accordance with the syllabus stipulated by the Ministry of Education.

There are many kinds of teachers in Australia, and positive motivation education is the main one. If you teach some hard-working students, you will be relaxed and don't need to spend too much time thinking about how to teach these students; If your students are not so diligent, you should use your brains and think about how to make these students learn well more easily, how to make them interested and motivated in learning, and how to make them diligent. In other words, how to teach becomes very important.

Generally speaking, Australian students are not as obedient as China students and do not study as hard as China students. However, Australian teachers always give priority to encouraging students, and give them great encouragement if they make a little progress. For the final evaluation of students, the school stipulates that only positive evaluation can be used, not negative evaluation. The list of comments can't say "the student didn't do his homework", and can't say "the student didn't study hard this semester, I hope parents will supervise him" and so on. You should write "This student has great potential. If you spend more time studying, he will become the best student.

Another point worth mentioning is Australia's family education concept, which pays special attention to the development of people's personality. Australian families respect their children's wishes, or parents and children are more equal. Once we visited a white family. One of the children in the host family is very artistic. The host wants his children to show us, but the children don't want to. The host had to say sorry to us and didn't blame the child for any expression. Australian parents are more tolerant of their children, not as strict as their parents in China. Parents always give their children a lot of encouragement and praise. Even criticism is persuasive, and children are encouraged to make a little progress. It can be said that the children there grew up in praise. In learning, Australian parents don't care much about their children's academic performance. They allow children to choose their own learning progress according to their own abilities and will not force them to catch up with others. This attitude enables some children from poor families or who have no time to study hard to persist in their studies.

Many parents in China like to compare their children with others. If their children make slow progress, they will be very unhappy and even beat and scold. Australian children take their time and have a weak sense of competition. A certain degree of competition is good for children, but it is harmful to overemphasize competition or ignore reality, because every child's situation is different. Education is to pay attention to people's personality and promote their all-round development.
