Experience of reading educational books 1 During the summer vacation, I carefully read the book Happiness and Education written by Nell Noddings and translated by Long Baoxin, which was deeply inspired and filled with emotion. The sentence "Because education is a profession that makes educators and educatees more perfect, educators can only be more conducive to the perfection and development of students if they consciously improve themselves" is rich in connotation and worth recalling. This sentence tells us that when teachers are happy, they will subtly infect students and students will feel happy. Without the happiness of teachers, it is difficult to have the happiness of students. Therefore, education needs happy teachers!
How to be a happy teacher?
I think, first of all, we should have the concept of "having fun in pain". The attitude towards work and life determines a happy attitude. Teachers work hard, live in poverty, bear heavy teaching tasks and bear great pressure from teaching, parents and society. We must realize the heavy pressure and overload of teachers' profession. At the same time, we should realize that although our material life is not in the upper class of society, we have no worries about food and clothing, and each of us has our own hobbies. We can usually listen to music, appreciate works and exchange ideas, which is a supplement and decoration of the spiritual world. More importantly, each of our teachers is a free and unique person. "The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and birds fly." Everyone has their own ideas and ideals, and they can give full play to their intelligence on the three-foot platform. Therefore, we should constantly adjust our mentality, carry forward the spirit of revolutionary optimism, take pleasure in suffering, take pleasure in suffering, and give ourselves a short leisure time every day, no matter how stressful it is, so that happiness will not be far away from us.
Secondly, we should have a normal heart and a tolerant heart. Happiness is a feeling. Plain is true. If teachers lack normality, they will set too high and strict demands on students, and may lose patience, carefulness, calmness and reason. There is a saying: "The process of education is a process in which an imperfect person leads another imperfect person to pursue perfection. Enter our students to find their own happiness. Although the children are naughty and playful, they don't listen to repeated exhortations and correct their mistakes several times. The desks and chairs were crooked, and I forgot my homework ... But I know this is a child. How can a child not make mistakes? Children are different, how can they be unified? Knowing this, I will quietly tell myself: less picky and more understanding; Less criticism and more smiles-let students grow up in our understanding and let us be happy in tolerance.
Third, we should have a grateful heart. The sun is new every day. All the disappointments in life actually have a positive side. In life, there are many people or things that deserve our respect and gratitude. Gratitude is an optimistic attitude towards life and a contented mind. As a teacher, if you can treat children with gratitude, you will be encouraged by their desire and innocence; Feel happy because of their respect and recognition; Deeply moved by the cards and small gifts in the festival ... At this moment, we can easily find that children are so lovely and life is so beautiful. A happy teacher will have a group of happy students.
In fact, no matter you are normal, tolerant and grateful, as long as you have a sunny attitude, you will have less troubles and more happiness. If you take education as an art, you can embrace happiness! I think this is the beginning of happiness, and I believe that each of our teachers is continuing this happiness.
Experience of reading educational books 2. Recently, I was lucky enough to read the book Happiness Education. What is "happiness education"? The book defines the concept of happiness in philosophy and pedagogy from the perspective of human nature, and holds that happiness is the dialectical unity of human physical happiness, psychological happiness and ethical happiness, and it is the subjective feeling when human nature is affirmed. Happiness is the ultimate goal of education and the healthy and unified value standard of "individual-oriented theory" and "social-oriented theory". Quite insightful and worth pondering.
The book wrote: "The main purpose of education is to make students happy, and this happiness cannot be sacrificed for any insignificant interests. Of course, there is no doubt about it. The purpose of education is happiness, which is not only a realistic existence, but also a proper value pursuit. Happiness education is for the happiness of "people", and the ability of happiness is the ability to find happiness, create happiness and enjoy happiness. Only when this ability becomes a student's intrinsic quality can his happiness be free and lifelong, and education can be successful. " Our education is to cultivate students' ability to perceive happiness and let them learn to feel and enjoy happiness.
In fact, it is very simple to make students feel happy. In the usual process of education and teaching, we can easily find that a little red hook, an affirmative smile, a loud applause, a bright red flower and a lovely smiling face are enough to cheer up children and make their faces show a happy smile. How easy it is to satisfy our children! Happy smiles on their faces will make us intoxicated with happiness, appreciate our students and warm their hearts with love. We might as well be generous and give our children more confidence, support and encouragement. Sunshine will spill into students' hearts, and children's psychology will be happy.
The book also wrote: "Happy people have four major personality characteristics: first, happy people have self-esteem and are more positive about themselves; Secondly, happy people have high self-control and great ability to overcome difficulties; Thirdly, happy people are optimistic and have low requirements for life, so they often have unexpected surprises; Finally, happy people are extroverted, easy to get along with others, and have good interpersonal relationships. Good interpersonal relationships are a sign of happiness in life. Age, sex, income (as long as the necessities of life can be guaranteed) are not necessarily related to happiness. Therefore, to judge whether a person is happy or not, it is best to judge from his personality characteristics, good interpersonal relationships and beliefs, goals and hopes that can get social support. There is an inherent positive correlation between cultivating good personality characteristics and improving students' happiness ability. "Knowing these characteristics of happiness, as a teacher, we should take students' happiness as happiness, strive to shape students' character, walk into the road of happiness with students and enjoy a happy life!
Experience of reading educational books 3 "On Happiness Education" is Mr. Liu's doctoral thesis, which is very theoretical and difficult for me to understand. I have enough courage to read it. Although there are many places in the book that I can't understand, I still feel that I have benefited a lot. In his book, Dr. Liu defined the concept of happiness in philosophy and pedagogy with a comprehensive view of human nature; It is pointed out that there is a natural internal relationship between happiness and education, and "happiness is the ultimate goal of education"; The author exposes and criticizes the phenomenon of forgetting, violating and hurting students' happy life in contemporary education with rich practical materials, and puts forward a series of new viewpoints.
I think that as a teacher in the new era, it is necessary to read The Theory of Happy Education. Because this book is very beneficial to our education.
First of all, it helps teachers to establish a correct view of happiness.
Everyone pursues happiness and loves it. So, what is happiness? Because of different values and life experiences, everyone has different views. Some people think that money is happiness. Isn't there a song that says "the rich are the boss"? Some people think that freedom is happiness, and this person inside the high wall is deeply touched; Some people think that enjoying family ties is the happiest. Don't believe it. Look at the lonely figure wandering in the street. Their melancholy eyes are full of fear. Some people are nostalgic for the prestige of the officialdom, and they are willing to bow their heads; Then the athletes holding the five-star red flag will taste the joy of success in the solemn national anthem. Dr. Liu believes that "happiness is a happy state in which people's basic comprehensive needs are met." He pointed out that happiness is the dialectical unity of physical happiness, psychological happiness and ethical happiness. It is the balance of all elements of human nature and the unity of advantages; It is the unity of all important qualities and quantities of human nature. Teachers are a special group, and their occupation is different from others. The particularity of teachers' profession determines that teachers can't fight for power and profit, and their lives are doomed to be dull, but it doesn't mean that we don't have happiness. When the students stand up and salute you, they sincerely say, "Hello, teacher!" " "Don't you feel happy? Don't you feel happy looking at graduation photo and remembering the students' dribs and drabs one by one? Don't you feel happy that the students you taught came to visit you during the holiday?
Secondly, it helps teachers know how to cherish and create happiness.
Happiness lies in experience and taste. Everyone's happiness satisfaction is different, and everyone's attitude towards happiness is different. Naturally, it seems too difficult to satisfy everyone's happiness. There is a saying: contented people are always happy, and I think we should do the same for happiness. First of all, teachers should know and cherish happiness. Although I am a little tired at work, I am also happy. Only when we teachers have a happy heart can we convey happiness to students, give them a feeling of happiness and teach them to seize happiness. While cherishing the existing happiness, I think we can lead students to create happiness together, such as carrying out emotional activities, so that students can feel happiness in practice. Only by constantly creating happiness can we enjoy happiness forever!
The Theory of Happiness Education is a high-level and deep-seated educational theory work. Really understanding and reading thoroughly is really not achieved overnight. We should constantly browse, practice, integrate and explore in education and teaching. I believe that one day we can truly understand its essence, our education will open a new world and reach a new peak, and we and our students can truly walk with happiness.
Experience in reading educational books. In the summer reading activities organized by the school, I was lucky enough to read the book Happiness and Education. The reason why I chose to read this book stems from our school philosophy of Nanyuan School: to create a green educational ecology and convey educational happiness.
Looking at this book, I recall the school-based training in my mind and the seven words full of mission on the title page of the 60th anniversary album: Be the bearer of happiness! I can't help asking myself: Are my students happy? How to make students happy? What is the essence of education? What is the purpose of education? What is the explanation in the book?
With questions, I can't wait to open the book. The author of this book, Dr. Nell Noddings, is an emeritus professor at Stanford University in the United States. He was the president of American Educational Philosophy Association and john dewey Research Association.
The theme of this book is how to make children learn in happiness and happiness. How to get happiness through study? After asking the question, the author expounds his own methods to solve the problem from three aspects.
Seeing these titles, it seems that there are many concepts and definitions, and even endless discussions. However, when I saw the question raised by the author, I felt like a bosom friend. This seemingly boring book makes me interested. With her unique vision of combining tenderness and keenness, the author let us see the truth that is not obvious intuitively and deeply touched me!
Experience of reading educational books 5. In my spare time, I was lucky enough to read the book "Being an Excellent and Happy Educator" written by Mr. Tang Yong, and I was deeply touched. The gripping, lively educational speeches and inspiring and thought-provoking spiritual stories in the book take us to the road of happy education. Tell us a simple truth: to succeed, we must grow up; Excellence is happiness. Being an excellent and happy educator is divided into nine chapters, from "turning yourself into a pearl" to "walking on the road of happy education", from "being the best self" to "pursuing effective classroom", from "making the classroom full of vitality" to "moving towards a bright distance", from "the source of principal's strength" to "how to do education today". Every chapter is vivid and vivid. For example, at the beginning, the author told a story about a self-righteous young man who couldn't find a job at first after graduating from college. He was always depressed because he didn't meet Bole, because the society was full of hatred for his injustice. Finally, he found a job, but he thought it was ordinary, unsatisfactory and overqualified, so he muddled along in his work, so that he hit a wall many times and his leading colleagues looked down on him. He is desperate for it. One day, he came to the seaside and planned to end his life. When he was about to commit suicide, an old man walked by and saved him. The old man asked him why he committed suicide, and he told him why. The old man said nothing. He just picked up a grain of sand from the beach under his feet and showed it to the young people. Then he threw it on the beach and asked the young people to pick it up. The young man said it was impossible to find it. The old man took another pearl out of his pocket and threw it on the ground, then asked the young man if he could pick it up. The young man picked it up effortlessly. The old man went on to say meaningfully, "You have to understand that you are not a pearl yet, and you can't ask others to recognize you at once. If you want to be recognized by others, then you must find a way to turn yourself into a pearl. " This story tells us that as a young teacher who is about to go to work, the starting point is the same and the impression left on everyone is the same. After that, who is recognized by everyone first and who can make himself stand out, the only way is to make himself eye-catching and excellent enough. Being incompetent and complaining all day is the sorrow of the weak.
Teachers' work is a kind of mental work that requires great efforts. In this labor process, whether we use the concept of "teacher" or the concept of happy labor to carry out education, the results of education will be very different. I remember teacher Wei Shusheng said that there are two things for people to live on the earth: first, to be a man, and second, to do things. Being a man, keeping a normal mind seriously and doing things are the real happiness for others and yourself. Calm down and do the things in front of you. If you can't do great things, do small things quickly; Marshal can't be a soldier, so be a soldier. If you can't reach the sky, land below; If you can't succeed at the top, you must be willing at the bottom. This is something that all of us can do. The work each of our teachers does is not necessarily perfect, not necessarily what we like, not necessarily what we are familiar with and good at. It is easy for us to do what we like and are familiar with; Being able to do unfamiliar jobs that you don't like very much requires people to have higher literacy. Education work will certainly encounter "students are difficult to teach, under great pressure and difficult to teach", and there will indeed be a feeling of "dislike". However, we must understand that we can't choose our students, but we can change our mentality. In fact, no matter whether it is normal, tolerant or grateful, as long as there is a sunny attitude, there will be less troubles and more happiness. Take education as an art, enjoy it, although bitterness is sweet, then you can embrace happiness! As the book says, "If you have a stage, you have to play a role well. If there is no stage, you can be an audience quietly. Now we have a big stage of education, a special role of teaching and educating people, and a special career like soul engineer, so we should play our part in life. Instead of waiting for rain, it is better to water the flowers yourself; Instead of looking around, it is better to face the present; Instead of being depressed in wandering, it is better to walk firmly on the road of education with ideals.
