Cultivating Life Ability with Life Education —— Introduction of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's representative work Life Education
"Now I want to talk about why we should talk about living education. Because life education can make us have the ability to live. Our life is noble and humble; There are temporary and permanent; There are complete and one-sided. We should make our short life permanent; One-sided life makes him complete; Humble makes him noble. " This passage was made by Mr. Tao Xingzhi at Jinling University Summer School 192 1. In this speech, Mr. Wang spoke in English and defined life education for the first time: life education, education by life and education for life.

In Mr. Wang's speech, education is first divided into three parts: death education, neither death nor living education, and living education. With the mentality of a doctor, he hopes that the education that is neither dead nor alive will "tend to live" and the education that is alive will "live". So, how can it be achieved? Teacher Wang explained in detail the connotation, educational resources and implementation methods of living education.

"The first step in educating our children is to admit that they are alive." Starting from children's nature, Mr. Wang suggested that education should be transferred according to the strength of children's needs, and individual differences should be respected, just like eating. There is no need to force everyone to eat the same amount. It is most appropriate to meet the needs of different people. Similarly, in teaching, we should see the differences of children's abilities, follow their abilities and nourish them according to their natural characteristics. We should not be bound or hindered, nor should we be blind. "We must conform to the trend of this world trend and move towards the latest and most lively aspects."

What information does Mr. Wang need for life education? One is to teach the living with the living; The second is to teach living students with living things; The third is to teach children with living books. All people, things and things that children can come into contact with are "alive" with the breath of life. All cognition comes from life and is applied to life. The growth of life is watered by living water, which naturally has lasting growth motivation.

There must be a way for such a vibrant education to really land. Teacher Wang put forward two points: first, planned teaching method; The second is to find the implementation method through planning. This is not so much two methods as two steps to achieve the goal-setting goals and breaking them down. This method is not only used in education, but also in other things. The so-called "pre-establishment, not pre-abolition" is precisely this truth.

Mr. Wang has his own vision and expectation for life education-to realize a permanent, comprehensive and noble life through education. In the summer of one hundred years ago, through education with many drawbacks, Mr. Wang saw the hope of the country and the nation, and this hope lies in everyone who cares about his home country and education. Maybe there are you, me and him in this group of people. ...

"I always feel that the word alive is better than all words." Yes, cultivating living ability with living education and planting hopes and dreams in the soil of life may be what education should look like.
