Three Rhythms of Romance-Precision-Synthesis
Whitehead put forward the theory of educational rhythm in the book The Purpose of Education, which includes three stages: romance, accuracy and synthesis. This theory of educational rhythm has profound practical guiding significance for China's current education. The theory of educational rhythm originated from Whitehead's process philosophy. Whitehead believes that the purpose of education is to enlighten wisdom, and there is a prerequisite for reaching wisdom from knowledge, and that is freedom. Freedom before knowledge is the only way to wisdom. However, freedom is not arbitrary, and relevant disciplines must be observed. The main feature of the beginning and end stages of education is freedom, and at one stage, discipline is dominant. This is the law of romance, accuracy and comprehensiveness.

The romantic stage is the stage of beginning to understand, which is described by several key words: "interest, curiosity and excitement." "The precise stage is the addition and supplement of knowledge, and the comprehensive stage is the free stage for the system to actively use knowledge after mastering knowledge and principles. These three stages do not exist alone, but are constantly overlapping and overlapping, which is a repeated cycle. This is a spiral and ladder-like climb, and any stage may contain several small cycles.

Let me talk about myself first. According to the theory of educational rhythm, reading in childhood is a romantic period. At that time, I often read comic books, and illustrated books let me walk through the classics and open my tender heart. Especially in the biography of Yue Fei, his mother-in-law tattooed her son to serve the country, which was particularly touching. Later, after reading Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", I really realized the heroic spirit of a generation of talents who are loyal to the country. Every time I borrow a story book from a friend, I am always excited. I read with full ecstasy, and my curiosity about reading started at that time. The stage of reading middle school should be my precise stage! If the story laid the reading background for my childhood, then the martial arts novels in middle school laid the "survival direction" for my reading, because many prototypes in martial arts novels are similar to many things in life. Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and Gu Long may be the common "password" for the post-70s adolescence! Among them, it is still the kind that is more inclined to literary aesthetics. Martial arts novels, in an overall romantic way, subtly influence "culture" on my heart and make my interest in history sprout. When I was in normal school, the courses were very tight and the teachers were very strict. I have to take time to read in the library. There are so many books in the library that I can really get a glimpse of the world of books. At this time, I read more professional books, that is, ontology books. Psychology, pedagogy, curriculum theory, etc. Abstract theory has changed my original rambling reading method. Because it involves exams, I read it carefully. In some places, I recite, circle and outline, and make some comments. This way of reading is actually called intellectual reading. So I think reading during that time has entered a comprehensive period in my reading life.

The above is my reading history, which can be analyzed in three stages: "romance-precision-synthesis". Then, in our educational life, many things can be explained by the theory of three rhythms of education. For example, the last lesson we had can be explained by this theory. Reading guidance review is a romantic period of knowledge. How to stimulate students' interest and curiosity in the introduction is worthy of our teacher's study. The process of new teaching is the precise stage of knowledge. At this time, when the teacher guides the students to accept knowledge, through the freedom of communication and discussion, it reaches the subject stage when the teacher teaches. After students know the knowledge, they rise to the stage of chewing feedback and enter the stage of freedom. This is a comprehensive stage. Each stage of a class is intertwined and promotes each other. The precise stage is romantic, the comprehensive stage is precise, and any big stage contains small cycles.

Looking at our education and life with the three-stage theory of education, you can clearly realize your own shortcomings and omissions. Teacher Hao said: the theory of educational rhythm has a lot of inspiration for education and even all aspects of real life, from a person's life to a class.
