In education, we should pay attention to the balance between moral education and technology, and be alert to the tendency of pragmatism and instrumental value to index and instrumentalize the educational effect.
Attention should be paid to overcoming the value orientation of material enjoyment.
We can't completely replace "learning to be an excellent official" with "a scholar is determined by Tao", but we must have the spirit of pursuing ideals and truth.
Problems faced by modern education:
1. One-sided pursuit of grades, ignoring students' quality education
The word-of-mouth of a school depends on the enrollment rate, the word-of-mouth of teachers depends on teaching achievements, and the word-of-mouth of students depends on the ranking of the school. The utility of education is so obvious. In order to pursue students' good grades, the school only pays attention to exam-oriented subjects, and some minor subjects and minor subjects that do not need exams are useless, and even teachers are too lazy to equip them. Take my school as an example, minor subjects such as music, art, common sense and mental health education have never really been offered.
2. One-sided pursuit of standard answers, ignoring students' innovation
Our educational slogan is "student-centered" and "student-centered", but in the process of imparting knowledge, teachers' teaching is still the center and the main body. Even Chinese, a subject with strong divergent thinking, requires students to recite standard answers, not to mention other subjects. Teachers teach standard answers, engage in sea tactics, and pay no attention to what students want to learn.
What's wrong with students' learning methods? I don't care whether students are innovative or not. Most of the students taught in this way of education are bookworms who value theory over practice, lack creativity and dare not fight.
3. One-sided pursuit of classroom teaching, ignoring extracurricular activities.
Many school leaders have problems with their thinking. They believe that in order to improve the enrollment rate, quality must be required in the classroom. Therefore, every class is full from Monday to Friday, and every class requires teachers to talk about knowledge points, leaving no time for students to study by themselves and extracurricular activities. As we all know, extracurricular activities are a good opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge, develop their hobbies and cultivate their personality.
