Education is subtle and silent, and the fundamental purpose of education is to educate people. "As we all know, the goal of any education includes two levels: one is the goal of knowledge and skills, and the other is the goal of human development. The realization of knowledge and skills goals marks a person's level of knowledge and skills in the corresponding disciplines, while the realization of human development goals is the basic quality and ability of people who "leap forward" through education in various disciplines. " Traditional education pays more attention to students' knowledge and skills in corresponding disciplines, but lacks the cultivation and development of people's overall quality and ability. In order to make people's comprehensive quality and ability (that is, Deng Xiaoping's basic quality) be valued and even cultivated and developed in education in the new century, it is first or more important to change the educational concept of educators and make them become scholars, researchers and experts.
One of changing educational concepts: one's own education must be supported by one's own ideas.
We just lack such courage and spirit now. No matter our teaching or our answers and comments on students' homework, we all take our own experience as the starting point and only express our views or comments on superficial phenomena. What is even more frightening is that no one else will think about the teaching philosophy and basis of this evaluation.
As long as there is thought, wisdom, personality and enterprising spirit, education has the possibility and conditions for healthy and sustainable development!
The concept of classroom teaching is divided into three levels: "true self", which does not need outstanding appearance, elegant manners, fashionable hairstyles or fashionable clothes, but only an independent personality like your name. (keen insight, profound knowledge, unique insights, rich feelings, optimistic nature, humorous language ...) "Non-ego" is different from your daily state, and you are in a more substantial, accurate and confident state than usual; It is not an ordinary natural person, but a carrier of education and culture ... "No self", truth is like the bright moon in the sky, and scripture is my finger. Fingers can tell where the moon is, but fingers are not the moon. In class, you regard your body, words and actions as "fingers" in teaching, and you ask students to appreciate the bright moon according to your meaning, instead of treating themselves as the bright moon.

Second, change the concept of education: give students enough space for learning autonomy.
In recent years, there seems to be a lot of discussion in the education circle about how to let students learn actively or how to reflect their dominant position in learning, but the question is: Have we given students enough autonomy in learning? Some scholars ask: Why do our students often dominate the Olympic Games for middle school students? However, in the Nobel Prize, the highest achievement award recognized in the world, the names of Chinese scientists have never appeared. However, China's fake and shoddy products are world-class; First-class "many", first-class "truth". Why is this happening? The key point is that we all grew up in the gradual teaching of teachers, and we have never been "qualified" or "incapable" to learn independently, selectively and exploringly. This can be clearly seen from the comparison between Chinese and American art education classroom teaching. First of all, in the introduction of teaching content, Chinese teachers lead students to observe pictures and other materials step by step and show them for analysis step by step (it seems that this introduction reflects students' autonomy); American teachers, on the other hand, give all the materials to students, and students choose to process them themselves, tell the truth and analyze them. In the teaching process, the Chinese teacher has made full preparation and careful design before class, and the organization level in class is clear, drawing on the blackboard is clear and accurate, and the teaching procedure is strong; American teachers prepare materials and ideas before class, and teachers follow students' thinking activities wherever they go in class; Teachers don't do blackboard writing, blackboard drawing demonstration and other teaching activities according to the pre-designed arrangement, so the teaching is more casual, but it fully and truly reflects the students' dominant position and gives them enough learning autonomy space.
Third, change the concept of education: educators must be clear about the big goal of education.
When our embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed, we were extremely shocked. At the same time, we also thought of revitalizing our national defense strength and economic strength. This is a very good idea. But we must clearly understand: what does revitalization depend on? Relying on talents and improving the overall quality of our people will enable our people to gain universal understanding, respect, trust and appreciation around the world! We can clearly see that when the manned spaceship Shenzhou 5 was successfully launched, the whole world paid attention to it, and Yang Liwei became the pride of the Chinese nation overnight. We also know that education is the key to improve China's comprehensive strength. But unfortunately, our teachers often lack the overall concept and the concept of improving the quality of the whole nation in order to revitalize China. Often only pay attention to the knowledge and skills of the subjects they teach, but lack a horizontal and vertical connection.
Professor Ye Lan of East China Normal University pointed out in the article "Let the Classroom Rejuvenate": "We must re-understand classroom teaching from a higher level-the life level, and build a new concept of classroom teaching with the concept of dynamic generation". She believes that "first of all, classroom teaching should be regarded as an important life experience for teachers and students and a meaningful part of their lives"; Secondly, the goal of classroom teaching should fully reflect the training goal and promote the all-round development of students, not just the cognitive development.
Education should better cultivate people's development goals. Educators should not be limited to what education they receive, but more importantly, our education and teaching are all aimed at cultivating people! Don't "waste" your efforts and energy for the so-called "scores" and "grades", and waste students' precious years.
Change the fourth educational concept: learning is the foundation of education.
"No educator can leave the educational wealth of the previous generation. In fact, many educators just apply other people's wealth to their own educational practice and put forward many theoretical resonances. You have to explore for yourself, find theoretical support and resonance. Now many teachers can't find the feeling and "North". As a teacher, unlike other experts, you need all kinds of knowledge. It is difficult for a teacher with limited knowledge to really give students personality charm. The younger children are, the higher their expectations of teachers are, and the more they regard teachers as encyclopedias. In their eyes, teachers know everything. If the teacher is ignorant, he will be very disappointed. "
2 1 century is a fast-paced society and an information society, with great social changes. Any work requires staff to keep learning, enrich their minds and enrich their knowledge in order to adapt to many backward situations brought about by great social changes.
As an educator, we must renew our knowledge and new ideas through continuous learning. Nowadays, students accept knowledge in various ways. Internet and TV ... are another window for them to learn, which also aroused their thirst for knowledge. As a teacher in the new century, if the "difficult problems" given to students in class are limited to "after-class discussion" and "You are so smart, but we will talk about this problem next time, ok?" ..... Is there any hope to revitalize education and improve the quality of education? We must realize soberly and urgently that we must constantly learn and enrich our thoughts. From learning, cultivate academic research consciousness, have new educational ideas, and dare to be the first in the world!
