Education originated from the needs of human survival and development, and its development has experienced the integration of daily life.
The process from naturalized life education to specialized and institutionalized school education independent of daily life. Since its birth, school education has taken people away from their original life step by step, transcending the reality of present life and moving towards an ideal rather than an ideal future life. It is the most effective way to promote human development and progress, and it has played and will continue to play this unique role in the long history of human development.
My ideal education should not be a tool to maintain real life, but should lead people to.
A better life has become an important force to lead people beyond real life to a rich, civilized and better life. Education should play the role of guiding students' life development and perfection, and guide people to yearn for, pursue and create a better life in the future. This means that education does not return but leads and transcends real life, that is, education should "transcend" real life rather than "return"; For the future life, it is not "returning" but "leading".
How can education lead people beyond life?
At the beginning of the 20th century, Dewey advocated that education is life and school is society, making school a reality of daily life.
Practice, in order to reverse the disadvantages of not paying attention to children's interest and emotional experience and not paying attention to the cultivation of children's practical ability in life in school education. Objectively speaking, in theory, he thinks that school life is different from life in the real natural state. "Spontaneous (realistic and natural) life itself can only become a means and tool for children's development through the transformation and promotion of teaching activities." "Real life is so complicated that children can't touch it without getting confused." The solution is to let schools create conscious lives. "As a system, schools should simplify the real social life." But in practice, because school education is too routine, children are caught in the present, accidental and trivial life, which makes his theory and experiment deviate from the original intention and fail.
Education has its special mission. Since its birth, it has been endowed with the functions of knowledge inheritance, value bearing and guidance.
The sacred mission of living and pursuing ideals. Education should guide students to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, so as to promote the continuous growth of life, constantly transcend reality and generate new self. Education originates from life and is higher than life, and in this process, it guides students to abandon the current practical interests to realize the meaning of life and pursue the promotion of life value.
"No matter how widespread the demand for education in human society is, no matter how the specific contents of school teaching and curriculum change with the development of the times, the nature and purpose of the basic task of' learning and growing in the teaching process' will not change. Perhaps this is one of the important reasons why school teaching can't last long in the history of human education. "
Of course, education should face the reality. But for my ideal education, real life only exists in education.
The foundation and premise will eventually be transformed and surpassed under the guidance of education, which is the essential value of education. "Education, as a practical activity to cultivate people, must have the characteristics of transcendence. The focus of education is not to let people' accept' and' adapt' what they have, but to make good use of what they have in order to' transform' and' surpass'. " In other words, education should not only "return" to real life, but also "use" and "transform" real life to serve the purpose of "transcendence". Education is based on inheriting knowledge, carrying value, leading life and pursuing ideals, and guiding students to constantly surpass themselves, transcend reality, realize ideals and create a new and better life. In this process, students constantly open their horizons of knowledge, gradually deepen their understanding of the world, others and themselves, understand real life and their yearning for a better life in the future, constantly improve their life realm in a bright vision, gain the meaning and value of survival, and freely become themselves and real people. He should not be satisfied with real life, but a person who enjoys real life, and should be a person who creates a better life in the future.
My ideal education should be future-oriented. Education is essentially a kind of guidance and transcendence to life.
Yue. Because, a person's life not only means "being alive", but also means that people should be smart, decent and noble "like people". This is the uniqueness of human beings, which is related to the significance and value of human existence. Education is the power to make people richer, smarter, more capable, stronger, nobler and more perfect. The purpose of education is to make people transcend the natural and social existence of animals and constantly expand and enhance the meaning of human life. "Education is to make people become people", "Education helps individuals become themselves freely" and "Make people become themselves through cultural inheritance". Therefore, my ideal education should not only provide proper preparation for solving people's realistic survival problems, but also face people's future problems, and guide people to constantly surpass reality, realize themselves, pursue higher quality survival and pursue a higher realm of life as a person. The reason why people need education or education is because people need external forces to achieve it.
Self-transcendence. Therefore, transcendence is not only the external tradition of education, but also the internal essence of education.
The transcendence of education comes from the essence of human transcendence. Man is the product of transcendence, man is born of transcendence, man is human because of transcendence, and man realizes and creates himself because he is more and more fully aware of his transcendence. The difference between man and other beings is that he is not blindly and randomly dominated by external conditions. His essential feature and the essence of his consciousness are that he always has a directivity based on reality and beyond reality. Everything that exists in reality can never satisfy people, and people will always change it. The basic function of education is to show and fully develop its object-the basic characteristics of people. Education endows people with the knowledge and ability to transcend reality and the need to transcend. As an activity to cultivate people, education is to cultivate the ability to change.
Creating the real world, that is, people with practical consciousness and ability, can transcend the real world and the real society.
The mission of education is to cultivate unknown children for the unknown world.
Although the ideal education in my mind comes from life, it is to transcend life and make people transcend life.
Become more human and become a real person. This transcendence is not to establish an idealized "castle in the air" on the basis of real life, but to guide students to identify with truth, goodness and beauty on the basis of examining, criticizing and reflecting on real life, thus creating a better life.
