Since every child is a life, there is no doubt that education should be life education. Then, the attribute of education is also the attribute of life education. Happy Camp puts forward five attributes of education: quality education, experience education, happiness education, wisdom education and self-education. The three core tasks of education are: to help children develop their life wisdom, cultivate six life abilities and lay three life patterns.
The content of education is quality education.
Education should first cultivate children's comprehensive ability and quality. The object of education is children, and children are a life, not a point or a surface, but three-dimensional. Therefore, this determines that life education must follow the law of life and comprehensively improve the comprehensive quality and ability, that is, quality education.
But is the education children receive quality education? The reality is just the opposite. Under the model of exam-oriented education, children's education is often based on success or failure, which is divorced from the needs of social development and violates the law of human development. Only to cope with the entrance examination, ignoring the cultivation of comprehensive ability. How can people trained by this educational model become talents? How can we look forward to the future of our country?
Fortunately, many people of insight have realized this problem, and quality education has been paid more and more attention by the whole society. But what is quality education? Few educational institutions can give a clear answer. However, as long as we talk about education, we can't get around this issue.
Happy Camp began to explore the "six-force education model" in 2008, and then boldly proposed that quality education is to cultivate children's six life abilities, namely, survival ability, learning ability, creativity, practical ability, social ability and spirit. Fortunately, the Six Forces Education in Happy Camp coincides with the National Outline of Children's Development in China in the Next Ten Years.
20 10 "China children's development program for the next ten years" clearly points out in article 11; "comprehensively promote quality education ... improve students' learning ability, practical ability, innovation ability, social adaptability, ideological and moral quality, scientific and cultural quality and health quality. "Therefore, cultivating six life abilities is one of the three core tasks of education, and it is also the landing of quality education. With these six abilities, children's vitality will be strong enough, and flower of life will fully bloom.
The form of education is experiential education.
The best way to cultivate children's comprehensive quality is experiential education. In the core idea of family education put forward by Happy Camp, there is also a saying: "Achievement is the best teacher", and "experience" is used instead of "preaching". Why is "experience" so important?
Because life is an experience. The child began the journey of life experience when he was still in his mother's belly. After birth, experience everything with eyes, ears, nose, mouth and body. So life is an experience.
Life is for experience, and life education must also rely on experience.
In a child's life, every experience is an experience, leaving a deep or shallow mark in the child's life for the child to feel and grow.
Contrary to experiential education, a lot of education is indoctrination education now. Instilling this action is relatively easy, but how is the child's acceptance? Some children have a strong ability to connect with things, and it is easy to master what the teacher says; However, some children have weak connection ability and it is not easy to absorb what the teacher says. This is why the students taught by the same teacher have high or low grades. Often in this case, parents will accuse their children: "The same teacher, why do you get poor grades and others get good grades?" Doubt that your child is not working hard enough. However, how many people have thought that it is not that children don't work hard, but that this teaching method is not suitable for children and does not connect children with knowledge? How to connect children with what they have learned more easily? That is to let him take the initiative to experience, feel and think.
In the experience, we should complete one of the three core tasks of education-to establish three life patterns, namely, thinking mode, behavior mode and emotional mode. The three interact, restrict and work together in our life.
Everyone has his own life track, different past and experiences, which bring one kind or another influence to people's hearts. When these past and experiences are reinforced repeatedly, a person's unique habits and ways of doing things are formed. This is the "model". Thinking mode determines behavior mode, and behavior mode and emotion mode influence each other.
When the mode of thinking changes, everything changes. Therefore, it is particularly important to give children a good thinking mode. Under the influence of thinking mode, both behavior mode and emotional mode will be mobilized. Many parents spend a lot of time and energy to change some behaviors, habits and even temper, which will be solved with the establishment of a sense of thinking. This is why the youth training camp in Happy Camp does not adopt indoctrination, but allows children to establish a thinking consciousness system through experience, solidify good behavior patterns in constant activities, and learn to adjust their emotional patterns. These three models are the basis for children to do anything.
In short, only by letting children feel personally and gain deep feelings in the experience can they finally internalize their own thinking mode, behavior mode and emotional mode. Only when the mind is touched can we stimulate a steady stream of motivation and live a fresh state of life. This is why experiential education is the best form of education.
The purpose of education is happy education.
How many parents and children have felt so tired and bitter? This has deviated from the purpose of life education and the ultimate goal of life. What is the reason? It is our education that has deviated from the direction.
The first lesson of life, as we have discussed, is that the ultimate pursuit of life is happiness. Life education cannot deviate from the purpose of happiness.
It is clear that the purpose of life is to be with happiness, and the purpose of education is also happiness education, so we must give children such thinking. Let children learn to find "happiness" in their study, life and growth, do things happily, get along with others happily, and even turn bitterness into joy.
In fact, the same is true for learning that makes many parents and children entangled. If every parent can understand the principle of "playing with middle school" and adhere to the principle of happy education, I believe that children's learning will not be a laborious task and will not become a burden for children. Therefore, in order to give children a happy education, parents should first look at education, growth and children happily.
The essence of education is wisdom education.
What can make life truly free should be wisdom.
Therefore, the first of the three core tasks of education is to help children open their life wisdom.
What is wisdom?
We discussed the topic of learning knowledge or learning wisdom before, and learned the significance of wisdom, especially oriental wisdom, to children's growth. Children are born perfect. What we have to do is not to give children wisdom, but to help them open their wisdom.
How to help children open their wisdom?
Through experience, help children design experiences and make wonderful use of the essence of oriental wisdom left by their ancestors. Under the guidance of these wisdom, let children have the wisdom to grow wisdom.
In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. We only need to guide children to think deeply when teaching them knowledge, and maybe we can touch the light of wisdom. For example, we all know that the curve of sine function fluctuates up and down around the axis of symmetry, just like ripples. So when we teach children this knowledge, can we guide them to think deeply? Does this curve have anything to do with life? Can you find some laws of life from this curve?
In fact, life is like this curve, with peaks and valleys. When the extremes meet, there must be a sense of crisis when the scenery is infinite; When things don't go well, we should also see that this is the darkness before dawn. In this way, children learn not only a function, a formula, but also a kind of wisdom!
"Thousands of teachers in Qian Qian teach people to seek truth, and thousands of students in Qian Qian learn to be human." Educating people is a process of leading a life from lost to conscious, and it is a process of lighting a beacon of wisdom.
The highest state of wisdom is the wisdom that produces wisdom. When a child has such wisdom, he will go to the highest stage of education-self-education.
The highest stage of education is self-education.
Mother is pregnant for ten months, and finally she will realize the separation of two lives through the pain of childbirth and bring that little life into this world. Therefore, the love between parents and children means separation from the beginning of life. As children grow up day by day, they will eventually be independent of society. However, education and study will accompany him all his life. Even if I can't bear it, I will leave my child one day. Without parents' companionship and guidance, what should children do if they encounter problems? This requires an internal force to guide him, so that he can conduct self-management, self-motivation and self-guidance, that is, self-education, which is also the highest state of education.
From the perspective of cosmic thinking, everyone is an independent small universe, which is related to the outside world and has nothing to do with it, rotating and revolving. People who know how to educate themselves have the ability to make their own small universe run in an orderly way.
We give children wisdom thoughts such as Tao, Yin and Yang, Three Talents, Four Spirits and Five Elements. That is, to guide him into the Tao and help him open the door of wisdom, he can finally sprout the following "6, 7, 8, 9, 10……", from which he can see the root of the problem in complex phenomena, adjust his three modes and help him.
We say that the starting point of family education is the self-education of parents and the end point is the self-education of children. As parents, we should first become happy and intelligent people, give children life education, help them to open their life wisdom, cultivate six life abilities, lay a good foundation for three life modes, and let them eventually become happy and intelligent people!
