? Rousseau's life is full of twists and turns. His mother died when he was born. His father, a watchmaker, attached great importance to Rousseau's early education and gave him many books, which laid the foundation for his future educational research. However, when Rousseau was a teenager, his father argued with others and broke the law. Cang was busy running away. After that, he never came back. Probably died unfortunately outside. Rousseau was sent to live with his uncle, who sent him to a Calvinist school, so he had the opportunity to receive more education. However, Rousseau was sensitive by nature and was dissatisfied with being accused by his uncle, so he left his uncle's house. Outside, he did a lot of hard work. At work, he found that his favorite thing was reading and studying. He is naturally flexible in thinking and gifted in reading, but any book he has read can generate a lot of inspiration. Because of his pioneering work in educational research, he was appreciated by many upper-class people, such as Diderot and Dilthey, who funded Rousseau to do educational research. However, Rousseau was so suspicious that he always suspected that others had ulterior motives and gradually parted ways with them. Finally, he lived a poor life. He was so depressed that he was worried that he couldn't afford to raise children, and gradually sent all five children to welfare homes.
? Although he lived in poverty, he established a perfect theoretical system of natural education and put forward the principle of education adapting to nature, civic education thought and women's education thought, which made him shine in the field of education.
? Rousseau's naturalistic education theory system is rich. He expounded the theoretical basis, significance, educational purpose, educational principles and methods, educational implementation and other aspects, and created a new situation of educational theory. Its theoretical basis is the theory of good nature, that is, people are born with self-love, compassion and conscience. There is also sensory theory, which is to help children carry out sensory training.
I think naturalism education makes sense, and I try to apply it to my own children in my life. I pay attention to protecting children's curiosity. On the premise of safety, I allow and help children to get in touch with the soil, water, leaves and flowers of nature, develop his perceptual knowledge and enrich his emotional cognition. In short, let education return to nature, follow one's own heart, obey one's own nature and express kindness. I believe everyone is kind.
? Rousseau advocated three aspects of education for children, namely, natural education, human education and material education, of which the most important one is natural education. In order to make children grow up more freely, happily and better, Rousseau believes that children's growth should be free and automatic. I quite agree with his educational methods. He put forward the negative education and natural consequences law, which is how I educate my daughter in my daily life. Negative education, that is, in the process of education, adults do not interfere, indoctrinate or suppress, so that children can adapt to natural development and fully reflect their subjectivity. My children always want to play with mud and don't want to go home. I'll let her play as long as she wants. When she is tired, I will take her home. Naturally, he also had a good time! The method of negative education is the natural consequence method, that is, let children experience the natural consequences of their own choices, and replace preaching or punishment with direct experience, thus prompting children to learn lessons. Preaching is sometimes powerless. She said it a thousand times, so let the children do it again. Even if she is wrong, she can learn from her mistakes and avoid making them again. My child is learning to cook recently. The child didn't remember carefully how much water we taught her to mix with how much rice. After cooking once, she will clearly remember how much water to put next time. For another example, when teaching children the way home from school, let her lead the way. She can remember landmarks carefully. After making one or two mistakes, her ability to find her way has also improved. On the contrary, some parents do everything for their children. They always think that children will not grow up and help them do everything well. They always teach their children what to do and what not to do by preaching. In fact, children don't like listening to you. They like to do it themselves. If parents always put an end to their children's mistakes and always guide them to make "correct" choices, children will lose the opportunity to think. They are less and less fond of thinking and more afraid of making choices, which actually deprives them of the opportunity to explore for themselves. Therefore, negative education does not mean negative education, but non-interference in education, which plays a great role in developing children's autonomy.
? The principle of naturalistic education is to treat children correctly, fully respect their freedom and nature, conform to their age characteristics, respect individual differences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Rousseau's educational thought still applies to today's education.
