This is the fourteenth book since punching in, but reading this book is more difficult than all the books I have read before combined. Although I have just finished reading the first chapter (of course, I have read these two versions more than five times). ), but feel powerless. In fact, incompetence is not to read the past, but to continue reading.
Because to finish the new network teacher's homework, you must annotate it after reading it. After a comment, you find that what you think you know is actually just a little knowledge, and you don't understand the profound meaning of the article at all. After reading it, add comments and send it to the official WeChat account, and you will understand what I mean.
Recently, I will start typing several books at the same time, and the content will be very incoherent.

It took about four days, six years later than the first three chapters of Whitehead's The Purpose of Education.
The first feeling is that reading books written by foreigners is too brain-burning, especially the first chapter. I have read it for more than five times, and in order to understand it easily, I also refer to the article that Teacher Hao Xiaodong interprets this book.
The second feeling is that no matter how good the translation is, there are also some unsatisfactory places, and the ability to read the original is the most powerful reading ability. It is unnecessary to learn a foreign language for exams, but there are really many ways to learn another language in order to better understand the world.
The third feeling is that after reading the translated works, if you can't understand them, you can't understand them after reading them several times. It is often not your understanding, but translation. . In fact, I'm not so eager to learn, so I have to compare the two versions, mainly because I don't understand and am in a hurry. I only have two versions in my hand. Look at things you don't understand again and again. After reading it, I found: "Isn't this easier to understand?" "There are no notes here, so I can't read them." "This translation is unclear, which is much better." What is the specific feeling, there is a picture and the truth:

Today, I read the fourth chapter of The Purpose of Education published by Shanghai People's Publishing House: technical education and its relationship with science and literature.
I read the version of Wen Hui yesterday, but I didn't read it very much. I'll read another version today to see if I can find a breakthrough.
In this version, general education (Wen Hui version) is translated into free education, which I personally think is better understood. ) is divided into: literature education, science education and art education. The author thinks that the relationship between technical education and general education is that it is wrong to oppose technical education and general education. Qualified technical education must include general education, and general education must also involve technical content; In other words, any education should impart knowledge and technology. To put it more bluntly, education should make students become people who are not only proficient in something, but also can accomplish something well. This close combination of practice and theory can be said to complement each other.

I read the fifth chapter of this book these two days: the position of classical culture in education.
I read it through, but I didn't get much. This book is really not a book that you can read once or twice.
Reading the first few pages of this chapter again, I understand that the author agrees that "education based on classical literature and philosophy can make the educated happy and temper their quality". However, the classical culture, which had an absolute advantage in higher education in the past, must focus on middle schools at the moment when the author speaks.

Progress 84–107
Today, I reread the fifth chapter.
The author thinks that classical culture should enter the middle school curriculum, and it should enrich students' intellectual character faster than other subjects. Only in this way can classical culture and education be fundamentally protected.
In the study of classical culture, we develop our thinking in logic, philosophy, history and literary aesthetics through comprehensive and thorough language learning. As far as Europe is concerned, Latin and Greek are the most suitable languages to learn. Not because these languages are excellent, nor because the works written in this language are outstanding, but because these languages can reflect the source of European civilization, European history and European thinking habits most directly, comprehensively and truly. Therefore, language learning, fundamentally speaking, is to understand history, relevant culture and a nation's way of thinking. Therefore, it is simply wrong to learn a language through translation.
Whitehead believes that the significance of classical culture in education lies in that through the study of classical language, contemporary people can fully and deeply understand the past history and understand the culture and thinking habits of their own nation and country. Those classic languages and cultures that seem to be no longer used are actually the deep roots of a nation and a country.
I can't help asking, what is the classical culture of our country? How does our school inherit these cultures? Classical Chinese and ancient poetry, in the eyes of most people in China today, are just some questions and scores on the test paper.

Today I read the sixth chapter of this book: Mathematics Course.
As a mathematician, Whitehead has a unique and profound view on the significance of mathematics curriculum in education and the misunderstandings existing in current mathematics education.
As far as mathematics curriculum is concerned, Whitehead still emphasizes its practicality and opposes "mechanical training".

It took me nearly two hours to finish reading the last chapter of this book, University and Its Role, as well as readers' evaluation report, postscript and postscript.
In the last chapter, the author said: "University exists because it unites young people and old people to explore academically with imagination, thus bridging the gap between knowledge and passion for life." The reason for the existence of this university is as unique, profound and significant as his explanation of the purpose of education. In the article, the author repeatedly emphasizes that "the responsibility of a university is to combine imagination with experience perfectly", "in education, the whole meaning of a university lies in putting young people under the intellectual influence of a group of imaginative scholars", "the whole art of university organization lies in supplying a team of teachers who ignite knowledge with imagination", "Education is the training of life adventure, and research is intellectual adventure; Universities should be an ideal place for young people and old people to share their adventures. For a successful education, the knowledge taught must be updated, either the knowledge itself or the novel application of knowledge in the new era and new world. "
Unfortunately, no matter in Britain and the United States a hundred years ago or in China today, universities have not carried such responsibility and significance.
The text of this book is only 14 1 page, about 1 1 ten thousand words. It can be said to be a thin booklet. Just like the opinions in the reader's evaluation report, postscript and postscript, I got such fresh, profound and thought-provoking ideas about education from this little book, which is unprecedented in any previous education book. Indeed, this is not only a book about education, but also a book about the growth of individual life and the future direction of the nation and the world.
