Reflections on the Education of "Trial and Error"
1. Trial and error education needs to control the cost of trial and error.
"Trial and error" education should first reserve the space and cost for students to make mistakes. Too high cost is easy to cause accidents. Although we often say that youth has not failed, too big a mistake will cause unnecessary losses. For teaching, the price of this kind of mistake is paper and time, which is the most basic educational investment and acceptable relative to students' income.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten, twice shy" is a typical case of "trial and error" education, but the cost is too high.
2. Only what students cherish will be willing to take the initiative to correct after "trial and error".
"Trial and error" education is not a magic weapon, and its premise is that students need to care about the content of "trial and error". If there are not so many favorable conditions to attract students' interest, it is difficult to make them willing to correct their mistakes and think. Only what you care about and are interested in will you really put yourself into it and try your best to improve your work.
In fact, when we implement this kind of classroom teaching, there are indeed some students who just do nothing and participate in nothing. Obviously, such a setting did not successfully attract them. He doesn't care, he is absent-minded, he doesn't care, he will be outside the course. Your own work? As long as there is, what else to change. Yes, that's the perfunctory way.
Therefore, to implement "trial and error" education, we should first consider how to make students care about what you want to arrange, which is more difficult than arranging courses or activities. As the saying goes, "before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass come first", so do we. If students want to participate, all the factors that can arouse their enthusiasm must be set in advance. That's settled, and the rest will be fine naturally.
3. "Trial and error" education needs dialogue with "products".
To carry out "trial and error" education, we need patience to let him make all the mistakes, just as mistakes have "products". At this time, directly facing the problem will give him a more intuitive understanding and a more direct handling method.
Traditional education is used to informing the consequences of problems in advance, or giving hints in the process of implementation to correct students' learning ideas. In fact, if the cost of trial and error is not big, let him patiently try all the mistakes he can experience, let him face his "work" directly, and then tell him what is wrong and what is the problem? At this time, he is more acceptable. Through such education, it will be more effective to gradually let him learn to think about the causes of problems and analyze the solutions. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Cultivating students' learning operation skills is far less than teaching them the ability to think and solve problems independently. This is the highest level of education.
4. Perceptual "trial and error" education+rational problem analysis is suitable for the study habits of secondary vocational school students.
The biggest feature of technical secondary school students is their poor abstract thinking and lack of ability to analyze problems, so they don't learn well except language and numbers. In view of this situation, many contents of secondary school learning are the most direct skill operation and hands-on teaching. This kind of education is easy for students to get started when they first enter the enterprise, but it lacks the ability of subsequent development and promotion. The root of the problem is that students lack the ability to think and analyze problems independently. Facing a problem, he only has the most direct way to deal with it, but he lacks the ability to think deeply behind the problem, extend the problem and find the internal law.
Therefore, while teaching students skills, it is particularly important to cultivate students' problem analysis ability and independent thinking ability. "Trial and error" education has successfully made up for their lack of education in this area. It is more instructive and effective to improve their thinking consciousness through perceptual and directly felt problem "works"
"Trial and error" education has its advantages, but it should also be used with caution. Of course, if used properly, it will get twice the result with half the effort. In fact, the same is true in life. Everyone lives by touching stones. Sometimes the gap between ideal and reality really needs to be hit by the "trial and error" of reality in order to constantly correct the direction of progress.
