3. Excellent sheep
Author: William Deresiewicz (USA)
Release date: 20 16-5- 1
In 2008, William Deresiewicz, a professor at Yale University, decided to quit his tenure and leave the Ivy League school after 24 years. He did this because he felt that the current American elite education had fallen into a misunderstanding. Most of the students trained under this system are extremely intelligent, talented and high-spirited, but at the same time, they are full of anxiety and timidity, confused about the future and extremely lack of sense of purpose: they are wrapped in a huge privilege bubble, and all of them are honestly moving in the same direction. They are good at solving the problem at hand, but they don't know why.
When he was about to resign from Yale, he published an article "The Disadvantages of Elite Education" to discuss these problems. What he never expected was that within a few weeks, its reading volume exceeded 6,543,800+times (the cumulative reading volume later exceeded 6,543,800+times). Obviously, this article touched many people's nerves.
Since then, he has been invited to give lectures at universities all over the United States, communicate with students, answer their questions, ask them many questions, and listen to and understand their answers. This book is his reflection and summary of this experience.
In this book, the author Deresiewicz details the "several sins" of Ivy League students such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton: being too confident but not losing; Homogenization of friends circle, self-styled; Rigid thinking, disconnection from society, lack of "common sense and intelligence", etc., put forward the view that "going to a rattan school is far less than going to a public university, and the school pays more attention to education and the teaching methods are more flexible and cutting-edge". He further pointed out that although these rattan schools have their own characteristics in appearance, they are all "places where souls are lost" internally. Many students in rattan school have no sense of mission and purpose, are self-expanding, self-centered and self-righteous. In contrast, people without these labels can attack the city and plunder the land on the road of life and achieve themselves in all directions. And some rattan school students' greatest achievement in life may be just attending a rattan school.
Since its listing in May, 20 15, this book has caused widespread controversy in American society, and quickly became a hot topic in The New York Times, New Republic, Los Angeles Times and other major media. It has also been reported by Southern Weekend, Phoenix Satellite TV, The Paper Net, Global Times, Bund Pictorial and other domestic media.
Tribute: Obviously, Deresiewicz criticized the characteristics of ivy sheep, such as being too confident but not losing; Homogenization of friends circle, self-styled; Rigid thinking, out of touch with society, lack of "common sense intelligence" and so on. , let us feel very familiar. Perhaps this is related to the fact that most countries are using or learning the American education system. Therefore, Deresiewicz's reflection on American education is actually of global significance. This makes us think, is this the future citizen we are cultivating? Can there be a new breakthrough in the current educational methods? This book is of great significance, but it has not attracted enough attention.
4. Forty-six lessons of modern enlightenment.
Authors: Wang Shangwen, Guo Chuyang, Yan Lianjun.
Release date: 2016-10-01
We live in an era of pluralistic values. Faced with a huge amount of knowledge and information, as the source of basic humanities education, the confusion of "how to get a scoop alone" is inevitable. Because there is no recognized good way, I am at a loss and even confused. Some people advocate returning to the ancient books of Mongolian studies such as Three Amethyst, Qian Wen Zi and Disciples' Rules, but their contents have been limited by the times. There are also many people exploring new ways, but it is difficult to explore. Faced with such a tangled situation, sincere actions and experiments are needed. Three editors of this book use the knowledge of bottle management to edit this book, providing readers with a choice.
To provide young readers with books on basic humanities, we should "collect immortal prose and adopt a thousand-year charm". However, in the era of globalization, it is obvious that the collection of civilized classics should not be restricted by national and regional, cultural and political barriers, but should be oriented to the "world" civilized classics. Laozi said: "Because of its selflessness, it can be personal." Only by not sticking to one's own traditions can we recreate modern civilization.
Tribute: Mr. Wang Shangwen is a senior Chinese teacher, Guo Chuyang is a new generation Chinese teacher, and Yan Lianjun is a young scholar. The compilation of a diversified textbook by two generations is a kind of "kindling" in itself. This book integrates ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries, draws on the strengths of many families, and provides another perspective for Chinese education, and is also an effective supplement to today's fragmented Chinese reading. We also look forward to the emergence of high-level Chinese readers.
5. Children are philosophers: rediscover children and rediscover themselves.
Author: Piero ferrucci (Italy)
Release date: 20 16- 10- 1
Children are Philosophers is a book written for parents all over the world.
As the father of two children, Piero ferrucci's parenting experience is no different from that of our ordinary parents. However, the difference is that, as a philosopher and psychologist, his keen eyes have discovered the profound spiritual changes that have taken place as parents behind the complicated parenting routines.
Children grow up and parents get old. This is just a superficial physical fact. In the intertwined life of children and parents, our hearts have undergone more profound changes. So, as parents, besides day-to-day work and a long list of bills, what kind of gifts will children bring us?
Tribute: Although this book is written for parents, we find that it has been pushed to the annual ranking by major educational media, which proves that its influence actually goes far beyond family education, but is a deep thinking on how to raise a child. It fundamentally shows that real education is actually a dialogue between life and life, not an authoritative lecture because of age, status or class. In the book, there is a sincere flame everywhere.
6. Classroom research
Author: Zhong Qiquan
Release date: 20 16- 10- 1
"Classroom research" is a kind of teaching practice research. For front-line teachers, this kind of research is an attempt to solve all kinds of problems faced by classroom teaching through teaching research and construct the field of the possibility of classroom practice tomorrow; For researchers, it is the field of discovery and rediscovery of the connotation of pedagogy concepts. Starting from "classroom and classroom research", this book discusses the meaning of classroom reform and the characteristics of classroom research.
Tribute: The chief expert of the Ministry of Education who directed the "Eight Curriculum Reforms" took the lead in drafting the "Teacher Education Standards", and also pointed out that teacher education and curriculum in China need to "keep pace with the times". For example, in the 1980s, books and speeches were still on the front line. How can you not pay tribute? At that time, he once said a word that caused public outcry: "According to the classroom standards drafted now, the vast majority of teachers are now unqualified." "At present, there are three main problems for primary and secondary school teachers in China: no reading, no research and no cooperation." It was not until many years later that we discovered how sober this judgment was. Today, his remarks are still frank and sharp, and he still faces our real pain points: "There are many topics in the field of basic education in China, and there are also many related public opinions. The media can hype the same thing for years, treating education as news, and there are many shocking remarks. I think one of the main reasons is that the society has not popularized basic education knowledge, and has not regarded education as a major, thinking that everyone can be an expert. If we proceed from reality, we still lack the basic norms of basic education around us, and kneading Wang Yang's educational discourse has reached a very surprising level. What is even more frightening is that it is full of what we call the best primary and secondary school principals, special teachers and other educators. "

10, day shift
Author: Wang Xing
Release date: 20 16- 1 1
Japanese lesson 20 17 is divided into four volumes: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Using the style of one lesson a day, this paper collects illustrated and easy-to-understand texts from textbooks in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and presents the cultural charm of old textbooks in the form of almanac. The content of this compilation is "Zhou", with distinct themes, such as living things, flowers, birds, insects and fish, philosophical common sense and story games, from shallow to deep, from simple to complex. Compared with the 20 16 edition, it not only replaces one sixth of the contents, but also greatly increases the characters in the rare edition. At the same time, the theme has also been optimized, and the selected articles are more classic and closer to daily life, which is not only suitable for children to know the world and record their lives, but also convenient for adults to learn new things and arrange their lives. The selected texts come from hundreds of textbooks such as Chinese, Putonghua, self-cultivation, common sense, music and art, covering all subjects in primary and secondary schools.
Salute: Strictly speaking, this is a calendar. But its content is different from all calendars. It is an old textbook of the Republic of China. Since the age of 8, Wang Xing has collected more than 10,000 texts, and the selected texts are just a drop in the ocean. So on the one hand, we think that there is a lack of such educational craftsmen in this era. On the other hand, the data shows that more than 60,000 sets of Japanese course 20 15 priced in 96 yuan have been sold. This means that a calendar earns nearly160,000/year for reading the library. This makes us seem to see the grand occasion when the old textbooks were popular, and also shows that in this era, good content is still extremely precious.
