First, "punishment" is a necessary means of education
Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of China Youth Research Center, said: "Education is all about eighteen martial arts, and everything should be praised, criticized, rewarded and punished. Education without punishment is incomplete education, and education without punishment is weak education, fragile education and irresponsible education. Teenagers are like small trees that need our care, but it doesn't mean that we can't prune them, nor does it mean that we will always provide them with greenhouses. Teachers skillfully and artistically use some punishment methods, which will help students face setbacks and failures in life in the future.
From the perspective of education in the world, there are also clear requirements for educational punishment. There is a book called "Father's Handbook" abroad, which specifically expounds seven principles of punishment. The first principle is that "mistakes must be punished". James Dobson, an American educator and pediatrician, advocates that "appropriate punishment of children will get satisfactory results." South Korea's Ministry of Education and Human Resources announced a plan: "Teachers can punish students who violate school discipline to some extent." And clearly defined the degree and manner of punishment. Makarenko, an educator in the former Soviet Union, believes that a reasonable punishment system is not only legal, but also necessary. Timely punishment helps students to form a strong character, promote their healthy growth, and is also a good means to motivate students.
Second, punishment and "corporal punishment" cannot be confused.
Third, punishment should emphasize strategy and art.
1, the purpose of punishment is education.
Rousseau said: "We can't punish children just to punish them. We should make them feel that these punishments are the natural result of their bad behavior. Punishment is not the purpose, but educating talents is the purpose. Students should be educated and guided before and after punishment, so that they can understand the teacher's painstaking efforts and achieve the purpose of punishment. For example, students who don't hand in homework will be punished for making up lessons, students who don't do morning exercises will be punished for making up lessons, and students who damage public property will be punished for financial compensation. These are all necessary punishments. Teachers should explain the reasons to students before punishment, and students should praise and encourage them after correcting their mistakes.
2. Punishment should be fair and moderate, accompanied by care.
As the saying goes, when a bowl of water is flat, teachers should embody the principle of fairness when punishing students, so that students can take it orally, and punishment can play a deterrent role and play a role. I remember once in class, three students were late, and one of them was the monitor. I punished them for copying the text three times. The monitor was not only ignored, but also punished again for not setting a good example. The students were persuaded.
It is human nature to make mistakes. When students make mistakes, teachers should not criticize them like a storm, let alone insult and dig at them and trample on their self-esteem. That will not only disgust students, but also bring disastrous consequences. If a teacher punches and kicks a student who made a mistake, causing the student to be injured and hospitalized, leaving a lifelong psychological trauma and the teacher losing his job, he should regret it. Punishment must be measured, otherwise it will be self-defeating
Love is the best teacher, and the premise of punishment is love, which should be as inspiring as spring breeze and as silent as spring rain. I remember that once a famous student was punished for failing to clean the health area, so I accompanied the classmate to clean it again and taught him working skills while cleaning. The students were punished, and the class teacher was also punished, so that the students could see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. This kind of punishment is shocking and can really enter the hearts of students.
4. The punishment method should vary from person to person.
Punishment should not be limited to thousands of people, but should vary from person to person. When mcleod, an English anatomist, was in primary school, he killed a dog he saw out of a strong curiosity about the dog's internal organs. Unfortunately, this dog happens to be the headmaster's pet. The headmaster decided to punish him when he knew it. The content of punishment is to punish him for drawing two pictures: one is a picture of human skeleton and the other is a picture of blood circulation. These are two paintings in the British Museum. Because of this punishment, mcleod studied harder and later became a famous anatomist.
I remember one time when I was teaching preschool, a student was secretly drawing pictures underneath, and I was caught in public, so I pushed the boat forward and punished him for drawing me the zodiac after class for the school window exhibition. As a result, the paintings he handed in were excellent and won unanimous praise from teachers and classmates. After that, I listened carefully in class and my grades improved rapidly.
Don't forget to praise when you punish.
As the saying goes, good children boast. Punishment and appreciation should go hand in hand and share together in order to achieve better educational results. When Tao Xingzhi, an educator, was the principal of Yucai Primary School, one day, when he saw a student Wang You beating his classmates with mud, he stopped him and told him to go to the principal's office after school. Seeing Wang You at the door after school, Tao Xingzhi took out a piece of candy and gave it to him: "This is for you, because you came on time, but I was late." When Wang You took the candy hesitantly, Tao Xingzhi took out another piece of candy and put it in his hand: "This is for you, too, because when I don't let you hit people again, you immediately stopped, which shows that you respect me very much." After that, Tao Xingzhi took out the third piece of candy and gave it to Wang You: "I investigated that you beat them because they bullied female students. This shows that you are honest and have the courage to fight the bad guys! You deserve a reward! " Wang You cried and said regretfully, "You hit me twice. I was wrong. I didn't hit the bad guy, but my classmate ... "Tao Xingzhi smiled with satisfaction, and then took out the fourth candy and handed it to him:" I'll give you another candy so that you can correctly understand your mistakes ... My candy is finished, and I think our conversation is over. " In the face of fighting students, Tao Xingzhi combined criticism with appreciation and rewarded students with four pieces of candy, which can be described as wisdom and ingenuity. This punishment skill is worth learning by all our teachers.
Punishment is a kind of care, and it is also an art. Under the premise of respecting students, we should punish moderately, appropriately, moderately and sentimentally.
