With the continuous development of information technology, many foreign educational methods have entered our field of vision. Parents may find that there are great differences between China and foreign countries in educating their children.
Faced with this difference, parents also made different voices. Some parents think that children's living environment is different, so they should receive different education methods. Some parents also think that foreign education methods are more suitable for children, and we should actively follow suit.
In fact, education in every country has its own characteristics and advantages. Why not learn from some advanced foreign educational ideas and enrich our treasure house of parenting?
First, practical education in the United States
The United States attaches great importance to children's practical education. When children are very young, parents will let them do something independently. When a child goes to kindergarten at the age of 3, the teacher will also have requirements for the child's self-care ability, such as dressing, going to the toilet, eating and so on. If children have not mastered these skills, they will be ruthlessly discouraged.
After children enter kindergarten, they learn not elementary school knowledge such as mathematics and Chinese, but things with strong hands-on ability such as assembling chairs and planting plants.
In such an environment, children often master many skills at an early age, have strong hands-on ability, and are willing to solve things by themselves.
Second, Israel's doubts about education
Israel's population is very small, less than our country's 1%, but it has? Education kingdom? Good name. This is because this country attaches great importance to education and has created many unique educational methods, and questioning education is one of them.
Questioning education is to encourage children to ask questions and argue. Children can express their doubts or their thoughts.
In Israel, when parents pick up their children from school, the first question they often ask is? Did you ask the teacher any questions today? . Because in the eyes of parents, children learn to think independently and learn to challenge in the process of asking questions, which is more important than knowing the standard answer.
Third, rigorous education in Germany.
While everyone is pursuing fast, Germany is pursuing slow. German primary schools don't look at how much knowledge children have learned before, but value whether children are interested in learning.
In the primary school classroom in Germany, teachers do not pursue speed, but put rigor first. They think that speed is useless, and it is most useful for children to learn real knowledge.
Fourthly, life education in Japan.
In Japanese kindergartens, teachers not only take children to play, but also show them all kinds of things in life. For example, go to the road to know the traffic lights, go to the trash can to see how the garbage is classified, and go to the kitchen to see how the food is cooked.
In this way, what children learn is not empty talk, but real life skills. Children can get twice the result with half the effort by applying what they have learned to their lives.
We learn foreign educational methods, not because the foreign moon is round, but because every country's education has bright spots. Why don't parents use these bright spots for their own use and learn from each other's strengths?
