This book makes me understand that my education is to inspire and guide every student who comes to me, so that they can have a road of self-development and self-growth.

Before reading him, I have an expectation. I can understand how I can guide every child who comes to me to a normal, acceptable and consciously normal road.

Translator Wang Lizhong said-

After reading the first chapter of this book, the title is "The Purpose of Education", which is actually the name of this book. What is it?

Summarize the main contents of this chapter with several subheadings!

1) Self-development is the most valuable intellectual development;

2) How to avoid ideological rigidity (cognition);

3) application of knowledge;

4) the most ideal education;

5) Problems of professional education (logic, style, aesthetics);

Before reading this book, the composition language teacher, the purpose of my own education, is to make every child who comes to me fall in love with reading and make efforts for it. For many years, I bought books for my children in the classroom every semester, which almost guaranteed that I could read one book every month.

Now, this understanding of education can also be said to be the purpose of my education, which has almost become my educational belief. I read to my children every day, which is a constant state of life. Not only the past, but also the present and the future, standing on the podium in the classroom every day.

Whitehead said that the purpose of education is to cultivate talents with extensive cultural literacy and professional knowledge in a special field.

Whitehead's educational purpose belongs to the category of ideal education, which requires that education can train children into extensive and specialized talents.

Some people disagree with this understanding and the purpose of education.

I remember a story about the future of the 23rd child.

A person who has neither extensive cultural accomplishment nor professional expertise, but does not deny that there will be happiness in the future.

Among the students I have taught, some children are not ideal in learning knowledge, but they have strong living ability.

To this end, I think children around us can strive to master a wide range of cultural literacy, but we can't take special professional knowledge as an essential educational purpose.

In order to avoid rigid thinking, Whitehead put forward two commandments: First, don't teach too many subjects at the same time. Second, to teach, we must teach thoroughly.

I think this commandment is very good!

In our current textbooks, especially in the study of mathematics knowledge, there is a piece of knowledge that has not been completely learned from the first grade of primary school to the sixth grade, that is, when I graduated from primary school.

In other words, it is necessary to master a knowledge within a period of time.

It is best to make reasonable and scientific arrangements and teach regularly according to the age and cultural knowledge that students need to master.

White also believes that the application of knowledge refers to the connection between knowledge and people's perception, emotion, desire, hope and spiritual activities that can adjust their thoughts, that is, life.

In science, the first step in learning a concept is to prove it.

You shouldn't try to use various propositions in isolation.

The interrelated knowledge should be used as a whole, and various propositions can be used repeatedly in different orders.

In short, everything that has been proved can be used, and everything that has been used must be proved.

Utilization and proof are not the same thing.

However, there is no clear boundary between utilization and proof.

After everyone is born into this world, when he can contact and face this world, he must master all kinds of skills to contact and face this world.

Such skills must be presented to him at every age, and this presentation will never be transferred by his wishes.

In other words, each of our children doesn't want to grow up, but growing up is inevitable. Every adult of us doesn't want to get old, but getting old is inevitable.

This is not only a golden rule of education, but also a law of life, which is difficult to follow and grasp, but it must exist, rely on and stand on.

Education is a process that requires patience and patience to master the details. Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, over and over again, there is no shortcut to learning.

This process is actually the process of cultivating a tree. But many of these processes come and become forests.

Understanding the forest with the help of trees is an ideal educational state, which can only be completed through colorful life, because only colorful life can reflect vividness in the curriculum, cultivate every student in magic, develop their full personality and form the forest.

Whitehead believes that the most ideal education depends on several indispensable factors: teachers' talent, students' intelligence types, students' expectations of life, opportunities given by the external environment of the school and other related factors.

The achievement of education, a factor related to this ideal education, depends on the subtle adjustment of many variable factors, because the object is people, not material.

Whitehead believes that style is an appreciation, an aesthetic, and an unconscious heartfelt praise for a foreseeable result.

This style is artistic, literary, scientific, logical, practical, aesthetic and so on.

In fact, this style is the function of education, and the beautiful meaning is to finally get an educated mind-style is the most useful thing, it is everywhere, and it is the last moral destination of the human spiritual world. It is the product of specialized learning and the special contribution of specialization to culture.

Whitehead said that the religious nature of education means that we should have a sense of responsibility and awe in education.

When the knowledge we gain can change the result, ignorance becomes a sin, and the basis of awe lies in such a feeling, which contains all existence: forward, all the past; Backward, all the future-forever.

That is: there is no end to learning and no end to teaching.
