The two-day space camp instructor training is over. After two days of study, many ideas came to mind. I had a chat with Teacher Tianshan during the break. She wants me to settle down and "imagine" my experience. I didn't know the depth of the chat at that time, but I thought about it later. I really want to implement it. It's really brain-burning. However, no matter what you promise, you must fulfill it anyway, not to mention a beneficial promotion for yourself. So there is the following passage, which is the origin.
65438+February 65438+March, at the invitation of teacher Tianshan, I rushed to the training class of primary school camp and enjoyed a good time for half a day. I had to leave at noon because of a temporary task, but the half-day team building and cooperation interaction left a deep impression on me.
The name of our team is "The Wizard of Oz", which was put forward by Ma Xiao. We hit it off, so we hit the road together. Naming, in fact, seems to be an omen behavior, which can inadvertently reveal the current state of life. Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz is not satisfied with her present life. The grasslands in Kansas are all gray. A hurricane sent her on the journey to dream of emerald city, and a story of learning from the West began. Looking back at the partners gathered around us, who is not eager to challenge themselves now? Or eager to collide, or looking forward to polishing and upgrading, or hoping to enlighten and lead the future career development, in short, we set out with a desire, which is also the frontier of our gathering!
Sure enough, the expected beauty came as scheduled. At the beginning of the intermediate training camp, we were lucky enough to welcome President Xiaoyue. She revealed the essence of camp education with a trip to Zhang Yingxiong, and deserves to be an expert in camp education!
Joseph campbell, the founder of Hero's Journey, is a mythological master in the 20th century. He is famous in the west for his unique interpretation of myths. The theory he put forward in "Heroes with a Thousand Faces" has promoted the development of western popular culture and made him the soul mentor of many artists, scholars and politicians. Campbell spent his whole life thinking about the origin and function of myth, the responsibility of artists and the ritualization of love and romance. In his eyes, myths and legends are "the greatest story of mankind", and the development of all stories related to people can be summarized by this model.
The reason why I pay attention to this is because this theory is also one of the basic theories in my previous team discussion on education and teaching. In fact, we are all repeating the story of "human". We are all pioneers of our own lives and writers of our own life legends. It is conceivable that the great charm of a camp curriculum can be imagined if this theory is properly embedded in the educational objectives and curriculum design. Just as some students at the scene were shocked and amazed after hearing this theory, this is the education that goes straight to the soul.
Camp education, which seems to be "playing", is actually full of educational mysteries everywhere, and what realm it can play ultimately comes down to the height of life growth. Escape from the ordinary world to the camp is a psychological response to the call of some adventure, and I am eager to achieve a breakthrough in real life through a series of special "games". If our camp curriculum is designed in the right direction, enrollment will no longer be a problem. When campers go on the road with the desire to break through, they will challenge with their mentors and allies on the way. When the peak frequency of camp activities is the same as that of campers' own peak experience, this crossing is more than half successful! As for meeting new friends and forming alliances, they are all attached rewards. When the campers returned to their daily life after this heroic journey, it seemed calm on the surface, but in fact something always began to change. This is the secret that many people join the same camp again and again.
A crossing, an adventure, a transcendence, and a return may only take a few days, but a good camp course can achieve a reincarnation of the wheel of heroes. This is not only the magic of activities, but also the accurate setting of educational goals behind activity courses. Behind the educational goal orientation is the idea of insight into human nature and the essence of life, which is far ahead of peers at this level.
Good educational ideas are all connected, but what really separates us is the practice of curriculum and the professionalism of executors. From teacher Li Zhuo's sharing, I saw a team of space tutors' strong execution and high-level professionalism during the course landing.
Whether it's TET, pet theory or empirical discipline theory, Mr. Li Zhuo is one of the best treasures. A camp leader and teacher, whether his professional background is profound or not, determines his vision and educational wisdom level. In the course of relatively short camp education, how to quickly establish good contact with campers, how to deeply understand campers' needs and psychological state, where to break through and create a harmonious and safe exchange and interaction atmosphere, Li Zhuo's sharing gave us a good demonstration and guidance, which can be described as full of dry goods.
Especially the information of "I"-as one of the most scarce core concepts of SEL (Social Emotional Skills) in traditional education in China, Teacher Li Zhuo accurately grasped the key points of interpersonal communication-no value judgment, no emotional interference, objective and rational analysis of facts, combing their respective needs. Especially in the face of the weak self-awareness of campers (mostly children) in the game process, how to deal with and realize their true psychology, how to deal with conflicts among campers without prejudice, from calming emotions to solving disputes in four steps according to problems, from speech design to body language assistance, all test teachers' professional sensitivity. The accumulation of many years' experience in camp education has made the sharing of teacher Li Zhuo feel like a spring breeze. From Mr. Li Zhuo, I saw the cultivation and growth path of a professional camp tutor.
What impressed me deeply was the case of bird watching in Yuanmingyuan shared by Li Zhuo, a snow conflict, and the first aid for a girl who was hit in the face by a snowball. It also showed me the senior team leader's keen grasp of details and the educational temperature conveyed in the professional response process, which not only relied on experience accumulation, but also revealed the true feelings of silent love. Such educational wisdom has long gone beyond people's general understanding of camp education, which is also the common direction of all of us who are committed to good education and eager to establish harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Why is the closing ceremony important?
Back to the end of the heroic journey, the return of reality seems normal, but the inner change has just begun. If there is a formal opening ceremony, it will undoubtedly add more encouragement and motivation to this positive behavior! In the form of camp activities, the closed camp award is a farewell and an end, but for a personal journey, a new life has just begun. At such a psychological node, the significance of an appropriate ritual activity is self-evident!
From the educational iceberg theory, the knowledge, skills and methods above the iceberg are superficial, hiding the underlying social emotional personality and self-cognitive ability. They need to be gradually revealed in the process of real challenges, which requires opportunities. Not only is it a good camp design, but all good education will strive to create such courses and opportunities, providing people with a space and platform for growth and reflection. The growth of any life needs positive encouragement and real and sincere seeing. The awarding ceremony in the closing ceremony met the common needs of individual life growth.
At such a special moment, it doesn't really matter what the result is. For friends who cross the line of fire and cooperate together, mutual understanding, mutual achievement and mutual encouragement along the way are the most precious gains! If the peak activity of the camp does not allow an individual to reach his peak experience, then the final experience must be compensated accordingly. The awards at the closing ceremony give every camper the greatest affirmation and empowerment from the perspective of life experience growth. This is in line with Suhomlinski's benign pedagogic cycle principle and the spiral upward cycle mode of the wheel of heroes. Where does the internal motivation of the virtuous growth cycle come from? It is the positive feedback that I get again and again, so my sense of accomplishment and self-confidence can be accumulated continuously, and my inner sense of fulfillment is gradually developed in such a benign interaction process.
Seeing the sincere appreciation from friends in the group, my heart is warm and I am full of gratitude to my friends. Similarly, I also sincerely responded and found the bright spots of my partners. Combined with our interaction, this reward is based on facts, which naturally eliminates the politeness and superficiality in general social occasions. The mutual prevention between people has disappeared, and the mutual connection is our common experience. This is the magic and challenge of the camp curriculum.
One soil space carries the whole-person education concept of one soil education, and through various characteristic curriculum designs, the ideal of educational empowerment permeates every process and detail. Camp activities are not just simple eating, drinking and having fun. Behind its diverse and rich forms of activities, there are actually many beautiful educational demands.
Through this training activity, I also realized more clearly that all activities related to people are related to education. Teaching refers to knowledge, skills and methods, education and nourishment of spirit and soul. I sincerely admire the open-minded vision of the educational concept in one place, the professional attitude of the space teachers who have devoted themselves to research, and the selfless sharing spirit of self-cultivation.
After just two days of training, I collided with my partners and benefited a lot from my teachers. There are also group building activities that make people feel comfortable and can be moved to the teaching process at any time, which makes me really realize that education and games are interrelated-a good education is a game! Love learning, enjoy growth, and be healthy and progressive. Isn't this the common wish of all parents, educators and educated people? Education is never boring preaching and passive training, it is full of vitality, it should be fascinating, it also heals the body and mind and ultimately points to freedom and creativity. A local camp education tutor gave me a good demonstration. This meeting is really the best arrangement for my love by fate!
