Situational education conforms to children's nature, highlights the four elements of "truth, beauty, emotion and thinking", and builds an educational paradigm with unique advantages with the three dimensions of "children-knowledge-society" as the core. The proposer is Li Jilin, a famous children educator.
1, situational education method, let knowledge "live"
The "truth" and "beauty" in situational education give life to knowledge.
"Truth" means paying attention to reality and integrating educational content into real scenes. There are grass in spring, flowers in summer, leaves in autumn and snow in winter. Let the knowledge content of the book be three-dimensional and tangible. Children's perception is very strong. Learning in this real scene is more interesting than learning in class, and children are more willing to explore actively. When you encounter some scenes with no content, you can draw pictures. Situational education is to make the teaching content as visible and imaginable as possible.
"Beauty" is the pursuit of beauty, which brings aesthetic pleasure to children and really enhances their aesthetics. We often say "discover beauty" and take our children to various beautiful scenes. Beauty is everywhere, and children really feel it and express it. Has the aesthetic ability improved?
I often ask parents, do you know what the standard of a good teacher is? There are various answers, some say that they can improve their grades, and some say that they can control their children ... My answer is a teacher who can "live" the knowledge of learning and let children learn happily.
Parents can actually feel that children are more likely to remember the activities they participated in. For example, children can remember what they saw and felt in the zoo for a long time. Let children remember at any time and speak vividly. The next time you want your child to learn something, try to expose your child to "living" knowledge.
2. Situational education method makes children "spiritual"
"Emotion" and "thinking" in situational education make children smart.
"Emotion" is to let emotion accompany cognitive activities. In the optimized situation, under the control of the teacher's language, children's own emotions will involuntarily move to the relevant objects of the teaching situation. Children express their true feelings, have feelings for learning knowledge, and learning efficiency naturally improves.
Thinking is thinking, which expands children's thinking space. Every child with a sound brain hides wisdom. An ideal education can and should fully develop children's potential and make them smart.
Last time, a friend complained to me: Do you think my baby is particularly stupid? Learning everything is slow. I don't know who it is. I smiled and responded: Isn't it inherited? Then ask him, is the child slow to learn to play games? A thoughtless friend: this aspect is very fast, and a new game can be learned in an instant.
Because they come from different families, children have different personalities, but all children have the same love and curiosity for beautiful things. There are no stupid children, only children whose wisdom needs to be developed.
I hope more parents can make use of situational education to make their children fall in love with learning.
