Experience Education: A Good Garden for Off-campus Quality Education
In Fatou Community, located in the southeast of Chaoyang District, Beijing, the reporter saw young pioneers active in supermarkets, lonely old people, greenhouses and nurseries. Li, a primary school student in Shantou, told reporters that his post was a cashier assistant in a supermarket. Practice has changed my idea that it is easy to collect money in air-conditioned shopping malls. My legs are sore after standing here for a while, but my aunts still can't get the wrong change after standing for a day. How hard it is. The "Love Team" of Shantou No.2 Primary School experienced the happiness of respecting and helping the elderly in the activities of helping grandma Hu, a lonely old man in the community. A classmate who transplanted flowers into flowerpots with the nursery staff said, I learned some common sense of planting flowers here, and I also realized the truth that I must understand to do a job.
Members of the "Happy" holiday team of Shanghai Chongming Experimental Primary School seized the opportunity of the APEC meeting in Shanghai some time ago and chose to teach their grandparents English. They started the remedial class of "Welcome APEC meeting and help grandparents learn 100 sentences of English" in the community and became English teachers. Every Saturday afternoon, they attend classes on time. They prepare carefully, and the old man studies very hard. After a few weeks, the old people learned how to say hello, say goodbye, thank you, introduce themselves and talk about the weather. Teenagers experience the teacher's hard work and the joy of success.
Dalian's "Little Ghost in Charge" activity made the team members realize that it is not easy for their parents to work at home. Activities such as "environmental protection guards", "young volunteers" and "happy pigeons" also made the team members feel the joy brought by their labor to others. Nine young pioneers also went to the countryside to experience the life of fruit farmers. They went up the mountain to pick peaches with fruit farmers. Before dawn, they pushed their carts to the town to wholesale peaches. They experienced the hard-won fruit.
Experience is the spiritual feeling of self-education, self-management, self-adjustment and self-transcendence in practical activities. This experience is direct and profound. In the experience activities, the seedlings are growing sturdily.
Experiential education: injecting vitality into quality education
Experiential education activities have changed many parents' views on their children, and they have also been well received by residents. Everyone says that many children nowadays are spoiled, lacking the ability of self-reliance, inconsiderate of their parents and ignorant of the basic principles of being a man and doing things.
Let children participate in experience activities from an early age, which will not only help children to develop morally, intellectually and physically in an all-round way, but also play a positive role in children entering the society, understanding the society and serving the society in the future. Wang Yuge's mother said that she always thought the child was young, but took care of her in every possible way and never let her do housework. It is natural to take care of her in the eyes of children, but she has no idea what to do for her parents. With the development of "I help my mother do something" experience, children have changed a lot and become more sensible. One day, her father was on a business trip. I came home from a busy day and was surprised to see the cooked food on the table, which deeply touched me.
"Experiencing activities let me learn a lot of knowledge that I can't learn in class", "I feel the glory and happiness of serving others from experiencing activities", "The happiness gained through personal experience is the real happiness, and the success gained through personal experience of setbacks and overcoming difficulties is the real success." This is what the young pioneers said in an interview with reporters during the summer vacation.
Practice has proved that rich and colorful experience activities enable teenagers to increase their knowledge and master certain life skills in personal practice, subtly transform the truth of being a man and doing things into good behavior habits, and bring vitality to quality education. As a parent of Beijing Road Primary School in Nanjing said, "Ordinary education methods can only let us know that children will grow up unconsciously, while experiential education activities let us hear the footsteps of children's growth."
Experiential Education: Need the understanding and support from all walks of life.
Society is a big stage, which provides teenagers with the widest field of experience and gives them the richest understanding of life. Nature is also a good place for teenagers to experience the beauty of their homes, protect rare animals and plants and protect the ecological environment. Experience activities focus on letting teenagers use their hands and brains to experience for themselves, so they are not limited by time, place and form. Winter and summer vacations are a good time to carry out experience activities.
Young Pioneers in Shanghai have carried out various experience activities in the community. They learn cooking in small restaurants, self-care in small hospitals, financial management in small banks and traffic safety knowledge in small roads. They also carry out activities such as cleaning corridors, publicizing laws, respecting the elderly and helping the disabled in communities. Young Pioneers of Luwan He Yi Neighborhood Committee feel the hardship of the neighborhood Committee through the experience of patrolling every Tuesday night, and realize that social stability needs everyone's love and social responsibility. During the Young Pioneers' "I can do it" experience in Jinsong Community, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the children formed a team and chose to do something meaningful: go to the community dry cleaners to learn ironing, learn to mow the lawn in front of residential buildings, operate computers in the computer training center, learn medical care, and experience teaching children in community kindergartens. All parts of the community have become good places for children to experience life and improve their quality.
Facts show that teenagers' experience activities will come into contact with all walks of life and all aspects of society, so they need the understanding, support and help from all walks of life in the process of activities. The whole society should create a broad experience space for children, create a good social environment and let them grow up healthily.
