This special "homework" can't help but remind people of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's life education theory. Mr. Tao Xingzhi opposes studying hard, advocates linking education with real life, and pays attention to cultivating children's creativity and independent working ability. In his view, "the fundamental meaning of education is the change of life. Life is unchangeable, that is to say, life always contains the meaning of education. Therefore, life is education, society is school, and teaching and learning are integrated. Mr. Tao Xingzhi's view on education has influenced many people.
With the development of the times, under the pressure of scores, the phenomenon that education is divorced from real life has not been fundamentally changed, but there are signs of aggravation. Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational philosophy is still out of date and still has many fans. This primary school in Chongqing trains "little chefs", which reflects such efforts. Applying the popular concept, this is actually an exploration of quality education.
Quality education refers to an educational model aimed at improving the quality of the educated in all aspects. Many times, we all feel that quality education is too high and how difficult it is to implement quality education. Because of its difficulty, we flinched and even bypassed it. During this period, Hengshui, known as the "super middle school", opened a branch school in Pinghu, Zhejiang, and continued to occupy the public opinion field. In the eyes of many people, under the current circumstances, there is no market for quality education at all, and only those who are successful in exam-oriented education can be accepted.
There will be no pie in the sky and there will be no quality education. Quality education has a complex and profound connotation, which is influenced by a series of social conditions, especially the current college entrance examination system, and does not have the fundamental conditions for implementing quality education. It can be said that as long as the existing college entrance examination mode still exists and everyone can only spell scores, it is impossible to completely get rid of the shackles of exam-oriented education and truly enjoy the freedom brought by quality education. However, this is not a reason for laissez-faire examination-oriented education, nor is it an excuse for not exploring quality education.
Mr. Hu Shi once said: "I am afraid of infinite truth, but I am glad to enter an inch." This kind of mild and optimistic remarks also apply to quality education. For the current education, it may not be completely reversed, but the direction can be adjusted appropriately. Reflected in quality education, it may be difficult to implement in junior and senior high schools, but in preschool education and primary schools, the tone can be improved a little; It may not be fully implemented, but it is feasible to properly reflect the content of quality education in current education and increase the exploration of quality education.
The primary schools in Chongqing have arranged "cooking" homework for students, which has not fundamentally subverted the current educational model, but only carried out a little "small innovation" and "small exploration" under the existing conditions. It is this kind of innovation that enhances children's hands-on awareness, improves children's working ability and promotes the growth of children's personality and independence. In this activity, parents also learned to trust and be patient with their children. Some students said, "I feel exhausted after cooking two dishes." My parents think it is not easy for my family to cook for me for so many years. When I eat my own cooking, I feel particularly fragrant. Then when I saw my parents eating my cooking, I felt very worthwhile and fulfilled. " That's what it means.
"Cooking homework" is a good dish for quality education. The exploration of this primary school in Chongqing enlightens us that quality education can start from small things, sometimes from "cooking". Education is an art about people, and it has its own initiative. Under the current educational reality, accepting exam-oriented education is not only passive. If you have the heart to explore, you can still make some changes and give some space for quality education. The key is whether you want to promote quality education and how much you are willing to pay for it.
