? "Language is a visible flower of the soul" was once seen in another book by Dou Guimei, which impressed me deeply. When she opened this essay about her overseas study and visit, some words during the period became flowers of the soul, showing what she saw and thought in her eyes. Since you can't measure it with your feet, it's a rare so-called shortcut to learn something from her point of view.
British article:
In the article "In such a missionary school", she felt the Christian feelings of the teachers there. Some of them wrote that because they like to educate teachers who like the teaching profession: "Every teacher is full of expectations for every child. In a class, there are different abilities, but the most important thing for teachers is to inspire them, affirm them, help them, and let all children grow up with love and appreciation. " Yes, "encourage, affirm and help" instead of "blow, deny and even ridicule, and solidify and label students at will. These are the two extremes of work, but imagine whether we have made such and such mistakes invisibly in our busy and trivial work, in fact, there will be. Consciousness can be really scary sometimes. If we reflect from time to time, we will become people we don't like carelessly. As teachers, we should be more vigilant.
? Talking about the content of self-evaluation in British schools (they only have one core-students), she said: "Everyone is unique and has his own growth experience. We should take care of the personality of special students and make every effort to help students with difficulties, including students with disabilities and special needs and students who need scholarships. " Undoubtedly, everyone is a unique individual, just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, the same teaching methods are influenced by individual differences of students, family education and other factors, and their acceptance of knowledge is not the same. Sometimes we are too impatient and feel that we have done our best and paid attention to the whole class, but why are our grades still so uneven? Sometimes we put too much emphasis on consistency and try to simplify the problem. When can teachers give full play to the role of teaching and solving doubts? It is in these special students that you can show your patience, your education and your role as a teacher. Only by recognizing this clearly can you meet such a special student to accept him, help him, inspire him and even appreciate him slowly. He also has some bright spots that you don't know need to be discovered. Just like Cai in my class, although there is some gap with others in learning, she is actually very helpful and willing to do something for the class, which deserves recognition and encouragement.
? When talking about the school's self-evaluation, Dou Guimei quoted Augustine's words in Confessions: "People praise the lofty mountains, the waves of the sea, the twists and turns of the coast, and the operation of the stars, but they put themselves behind." She believes that "our own existence is very important for happiness." To affirm the significance of school self-evaluation to the development of a school. In fact, self-evaluation is very important not only for schools and administrators, but also for countless individuals engaged in education. It's hard to know yourself. Because of passion and dreams, young people can't tell how much energy and strength they have, or they are arrogant or arrogant. When you are old, it is very easy to be content with the status quo, dare not break the routine and go forward bravely. Everyone has his own limitations, and his own existence and clear understanding of himself will often affect your happiness index.
American article:
? What are our students doing in spring? Thinking of Washington in April, she felt the implementation of open education in the United States and wrote: "The classroom is very small and the world is very big. Everything in Washington is a classroom for American students to learn and explore, and students constitute an important landscape of Washington. Therefore, during these days in Washington, I have always felt that there are all students here! Students are the life of Washington! This is the future of Washington! " Yes, from Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Washington Monument, National Air and Space Museum ... Washington in spring and half a month's spring break, there are students visiting and studying everywhere. They learn knowledge from the world of society, sublimate their thoughts and go deep into life. Unlike us, there are really few external activities that can really broaden students' horizons except studying textbooks and occasionally leading students to read. It is understandable that suburban schools often fail to do this, but how many activities can urban schools actually carry out effectively?
? When talking about Americans' smiles, she cited the crowded phenomenon when boarding in China and quoted a strange question from a foreigner: "Doesn't everyone have a seat on the plane?" Oh, China people came to earth with a mission, and they are all in such a hurry … "After reading this passage, I shook my head with a wry smile: Yes, in China, it is often not a smile that infects a smile, but a hurry that drives a hurry, and even anger arouses anger … Why are they all in such a hurry? Sometimes I am in a hurry for no reason, I have done nothing, I have brought my age, and I haven't done anything yet ... I queue up invisibly, adding unnecessary trouble unconsciously, which is really worth pondering and reflecting; When it comes to praise, the article quotes an American student, affirming the characteristics of his words and giving people inspiration. The girl said, "I love school because every teacher is pushing you forward and overcoming difficulties." I'm not afraid to develop slowly. Teachers will constantly inspire you and give you confidence and inspiration at any time. "It seems that the appreciation education in the United States is really in place, reaching the hearts of students. Reflecting on the school education I received, the education I gave my students is far from it. As Dou Guimei felt: Push you forward-this push is powerful and warmer. Warmth and love, we really should learn to give more to our children. To do this, we must first have true love, so as not to be perfunctory and superficial.
Ukraine:
? These essays describe Dou Guimei's feelings when he was studying in Pavlis Middle School and other schools. Of course, one person's name has to be mentioned here: Suhomlinski. This name is not strange to me, but it is very general in my mind. It is just a logo. After reading these articles, it is not difficult to see that Dou Guimei, Li Zhenxi and many teachers admire and respect him. Only by following their footsteps to understand and feel can I understand Suhomlinski's life, live up to his reputation and feel my ignorance, which further urges me to read some of his classic works when I have time in the future.
Ukrainian national consciousness, their great respect for education and teachers is regrettable; The teacher museum set up in each of their schools not only pays attention to the teachers who are concrete living people, but also presents the landscape of teachers in different historical periods, showing a series of real and vivid life records, which is not only a record, but also a kind of propaganda and the inheritance of school culture. Their "infinite belief in the power of books" provides vivid evidence for people. Suhomlinski's study contains all kinds of books, covering a wide range. "Reading is not for tomorrow's class, but for inner needs and curiosity." "In the ocean of your scientific knowledge, the basic knowledge you teach students in textbooks should be just a drop in the ocean." ... he not only realized it, but also practiced it with practical actions. This has to be admirable. In recent years, I have also met some people who love reading. From them, I deeply understand and feel that learning is a way of life and reading is a habit. But how much have you achieved? It deserves deep reflection. It's not too late to start. What I am afraid of is staying at the ideological level forever without persistence and practice ... washing my mind in reading and putting my soul in quiet reading. Reading should become a necessity of life and an inevitable habit: when did I realize I wanted to study and how many books did I read? A real teacher must be a person who loves reading, and books should be a deep soil for teachers to cultivate and nourish their souls. How can we rely on it without it? The era of eating old money and not changing it has long passed! "Read every day and be friends with books all your life. This is a gurgling stream that keeps flowing all day, which enriches the river of thought. " In the words of Suhomlinski, should we also study silently, stick to a firm line and cultivate a stream that will gradually become noisy because of the accumulation of countless streams?
"What does it mean to be a good teacher? First of all, it shows that he loves children and thinks it is a pleasure to associate with them. I believe that every child can become a good person, be good at making friends with them, care about their happiness and sadness, understand their hearts, and never forget that he was once a child. " When we grow up, we often forget that we were a child and turn a blind eye to the happiness and sadness of our children. If we don't get to know and approach them, love will always be an abstract word, and the sense of distance will always come from the rigid or even solidified thinking of adults. A good teacher means a lot. Every child has a gift. Love is the teacher's silent language. Teachers' love for children should be three-dimensional and unconditional ... I hope these words can always remind us and inspire us to follow, explore and move forward bravely. ...
South Korea:
? I have not only heard a little about Korean education, but fortunately I have been there, seen it and felt more. If nothing else, I am deeply impressed by Dou Guimei's article that South Korea can appropriately punish students who refuse to mend their ways. In the boys' school where I taught a few years ago, I often saw the imagination of students being punished with their backs against the wall in the corridor. Ministers in charge of arranging our work in the office often take rulers to punish those students who violate discipline. Those students really respect the teacher, and where the teacher is really dignified. And what is the current situation of our education? As Mr. Dou mentioned: We emphasize the love for students again and again, but our students lack the necessary gratitude and return; We want to warn them by punishment, but we dare not punish them. Our education always goes to extremes. ...
Japan:
After reading several essays on studying in Japan, I was most impressed by the promotion and implementation of educational equity in Japanese education: there is no obvious difference between key schools and non-key schools; Fairness of college entrance examination admission; Teachers can move and interact; Another point is that Japanese teachers practice the civil service system. No matter a professor or a primary school teacher, the treatment they enjoy is exactly the same except the bonus for the number of years. It is mentioned in the article that a rural primary school in Japan will set up reading books every year-90 in grade one and 0/00 in grade two ... What about us? It's really amazing and more reflective.
? The world is different, education is different, and people-oriented is the same. It's just that they pay more attention to implementation, and although we do it consciously, it's a little empty. A big system is different, and the national conditions and educational environment are different. Second, many details need to be explored and improved ... My eyes have been broadened by reading. Some people say that the world is as big as the horizon. Broaden your horizons and broaden the world in your eyes, perhaps only by constantly reading, practicing and reflecting. ...
