Zhou Education Thought Reading 1 In the first section of this book, Mr. Zhou took out seven proverbs about education that have been recognized throughout the ages. Since it is an educational proverb, it should have great vitality and learning value. Repeated thinking does give people a feeling of touching the heart. They are:
1, education is growth, growth is the purpose, and there is no other purpose except growth;
This argument was put forward by Rousseau and further elaborated by Dewey. Education is growth, which embodies the original meaning of education, that is, to make everyone's nature and innate ability grow healthily, rather than instilling external things into a container. Even it has great value in itself. Everyone who grows up naturally and healthily is an excellent person in itself. The real purpose of our education should be to promote a person's healthy growth, not to make a large number of musical instruments with a mold. The quick success and instant benefit of education is actually a bad habit, which eventually leads to the opposite of education.
As an excellent teacher, we should slow down, lower our expectations and let our children grow up slowly. You will find that children will give you many surprises!
2. Children are not immature adults, and childhood has its intrinsic value;
What we often say is: "What should I do when I grow up, and what should I do in order not to regret it in the future" and so on. It seems that the purpose of education is for some achievements of children when they grow up, completely ignoring the process of children's growth and the present significance.
The book says: every stage of life has its own irreplaceable value, and no stage is prepared for another stage. Childhood, in particular, is an important stage of physical and mental development, and it should also be the happiest time in life. The greatest merit that education can give is to give children a happy and meaningful childhood, thus laying a good foundation for their lives. Today, adults have imposed their small utilitarian goals on their children, driving them to fight in vanity fair. I'm worried that in their future life, after a few years, the evil consequences of being brutally deprived in those years will show up in some way.
It is our bounden duty to give children a happy childhood and leave them some unexpected memories outside of study. Giving children a chance to grow up slowly will play a great role in building a healthy life for everyone.
3. The purpose of education is to liberate students from the slavery of reality, not to adapt to reality;
This sentence is Cicero's famous saying. Montaigne also said: learning is not to adapt to the outside world, but to enrich yourself. The same is true of Confucius' saying that "the ancient scholars are themselves, and today's scholars are human beings". Education is to promote inner freedom, produce excellent soul and mind, and create conditions.
I feel ashamed after reading it, because what I often say is "study hard to better adapt to society" It seems that my educational concept will be improved.
4. The most important educational principle is not to cherish time, but to waste it;
This sentence comes from Rousseau's mouth, which sounds ridiculous. If education means growth, then the mission of education is to provide the best environment for growth. What is the best environment? Nothing more than free time and good teachers. In Greek, school means leisure. The Greeks believed that students must have enough time to experience and meditate in order to develop their mental abilities freely.
In the final analysis, all education is self-education and all learning is self-learning. This is especially true in the growth of mental ability. No matter how good the teacher speaks, no matter how much he talks, if he studies but doesn't study, everything will be in vain. Therefore, the teacher's task is not to lecture well, but to guide students to learn to learn and learn to be a man.
5. Forget everything you have learned in class, and the rest is education;
This sentence seems to have been heard at ordinary times, and it first appeared in Einstein's article today. In fact, when you think about it, sometimes it is true. Most of what we learned at school seems to have lost our impression. Even the knowledge we have learned in college is of little use to our work and life. What is useful to us is internalized as a part of our body. It seems that it is not learned, but it is ours. Perhaps, as the book says, "forget everything you learn in class, and the rest is education." Everything you learn in class must be internalized as a part of yourself to have practical significance, otherwise everything will be returned to the school, which has no practical significance.
6. Universities should be places where masters gather, so that young people can grow up under the influence of masters;
I don't want to say more about the significance of university, but I feel the same way. Isn't that what famous schools do? Every famous school is supported by a large number of famous teachers. Without famous teachers, there would be no famous schools.
Zhou's reading experience on education II. I read the book Zhou Lun Education, which benefited me a lot. Teacher Zhou is a philosopher, and the words in the book are simple and sincere, which makes people feel unspeakable intimacy. I was deeply attracted by his thoughts. What Mr. Zhou does in philosophy is a lot of thinking about life problems. The problems of life and education are interrelated. Being a man and teaching people are basically the same. The most worthwhile thing in life is what students should get in education. This belief constitutes the basic standpoint of Mr. Zhou's educational thought. He said in the Seven Proverbs of Education: "The most pertinent and wonderful words about education often come from philosophers. Specialized educators and educators, if they don't have the wisdom of insight into human nature at the same time, tend to limit their words to experience or stick to psychological details, which will appear superficial, trivial and mediocre. " I quite agree with this view. "Man" is the origin of education, and "all-round development of man" is the foundation of education. If a teacher sticks to the "technology" of education without overall insight and thinking about people and humanity, education will have limitations and deviations. So, as a philosopher, how does Mr. Zhou view education?
Teacher Zhou believes that the real soul of education lies in "protecting human nature". Protecting human nature, so as to win happiness and Excellence in life, is the core of Zhou's educational philosophy, and it is also the main thread running through every chapter of this book. The word "protecting human nature", like a shining river, calmly and forcefully crosses Yuanye. Those life-filled wisdom splashes stirred my chest. What is education? What is education? What is the most important principle in education? Excellent minds at all times and all over the world have thought a lot about this and made many comments. Zhou found that the most pertinent and wonderful words about education often come from philosophers. Specialized educators and educators, if they don't have the wisdom of insight into human nature at the same time, tend to confine their words to experience or stick to psychological details, which will appear superficial, trivial and mediocre. Now he has listed his favorite educational thoughts, which really have the characteristics of proverbs: pointing to the essence of things, as concise as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, as simple as common sense. Unfortunately, people are lost in the fantasy of things, preferring to believe all kinds of difficult and complicated fallacies and forget simple common sense. However, the simple mind will feel how these proverbs hit the key point of today's education and how much our education needs to return to common sense and the most basic truth of education.
Teacher Zhou also told us that as an intellectual, we should strive to be a real reader. What is a real reader? The book tells that a real scholar has the following characteristics: First, he has high reading taste. You should have a belief that you don't read the best books. You should set yourself a standard. Every time you read a book, you should gain something spiritually, which can further enlighten your mind. At that time, you won't read those superficial books. In this regard, the humanities classic bibliography is a good choice; Second, form your own reading interest. Books in the world are like the sea of Wang Yang. You and I can only taste one spoonful in our life. Don't follow the crowd, it will waste our precious time and make us miss good books. Only by finding a bosom friend in the book can we stop and persevere. Because she eats people. The same is true of reading. What kind of books you read determines what your spiritual field becomes. Third, cultivate the hobby of reading. In other words, reading has become a necessity and an indispensable part of life, just as the author said in his book: only when we reach the peak of nature can we overlook the universe, and other mountains are dwarfed under the sky ... The effect of reading a good book is similar to this. The great soul leads us to the peak of spirit, the life of paramore, and appreciates the vastness of life.
Many educators and thinkers attach great importance to reading. Teacher Zhou wrote, "We should lead the educated into the treasure house of classic works, let them know, be familiar with and understand the traditions existing in them, be influenced by them, and devote themselves to the great process of human spiritual exploration. In my opinion, there is no more valuable and effective quality education. " Television and internet are full of our vision, which seems to be one of the reasons why people become impetuous. Without thinking and imagination, people are like robots that are purely entertaining themselves. Reading is a good medicine, but it is also mixed with useless and even toxic things. Zhou's advice to us is: "Never follow the media propaganda, just read some best-selling books and fashion books. In that case, you will never be a real reader, and you will always be just a consumer in the cultural market. "
There are also wonderful expositions about "life education" and "soul education" in the book, as well as some educational lectures, which deeply inspired me and made me aftertaste for a long time. Zhou's On Education is not a reference book, nor is it a professional book on education in a strict sense. It doesn't analyze specific educational problems on the spot, and it doesn't tell you what to do in the face of specific educational problems. It may not be very operational and practical, but it is indeed a good book worth reading by educators. It is precisely because he is not an educator that the author talks about education with less rules and more freedom. Because of the birth of a philosopher, there is less superficiality and more profound speculation in the article, and sparks of thought shine everywhere.
In a word, this book has given me great inspiration.
Zhou's reading experience on education III. I haven't read for a long time. When I opened Zhou's On Education, my mood suddenly calmed down. Personally, I think reading is happy, fulfilling and necessary. No matter how busy you are, you shouldn't keep reading.
The first series of the book is about educational thoughts and puts forward seven educational proverbs.
This book points out that all education can be attributed to self-education Education and classroom knowledge are temporary, but the ability of self-education is a lifetime wealth. What is education? What is education? What is the most important principle in education? Excellent minds at all times and all over the world have thought a lot about this and made many comments. I found that the most pertinent and wonderful words about education often come from philosophers. Specialized educators and educators, if they don't have the wisdom to understand human nature at the same time, tend to confine their words to experience or stick to psychological details, which will appear superficial, trivial and mediocre. Now I list my favorite educational ideas, a total of seven. I might as well call it the seven proverbs of education. They do have the characteristics of proverbs: they point to the essence of things, which are as simple as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and as simple as common sense. Unfortunately, people are lost in the fantasy of things, preferring to believe all kinds of difficult and complicated fallacies and forget simple common sense. However, the simple mind will feel how these proverbs hit the key point of today's education and how much our education needs to return to common sense and the most basic truth of education. The seven principles of education are:
1, education is growth, growth is the purpose, and there is no other purpose except growth.
2. Children are not immature adults, and childhood has its intrinsic value.
The purpose of education is to liberate students from the slavery of reality, not to adapt to reality.
The most important educational principle is not to cherish time, but to waste it.
Forget everything you have learned in class, and the rest is education.
6. Universities should be places where masters gather, so that young people can grow up under the influence of masters.
7. Teachers should regard students as an end rather than a means.
Mr. Zhou's thought always guides his own life practice, and the value of his philosophical thought lies in always paying attention to life, life and the reality of life. As the cover of the book says: "Protecting human nature is a father's educational feelings, a philosopher's concern for education and the ultimate mission of education". As an educator, I also realize that the ultimate value and significance of all knowledge and science should be embodied in practice. The core and soul of the book is the thinking and exploration of education. In eight parts, Mr. Zhou started with the concept of education, went directly into the essence of education, and questioned the essence of education and the law of human nature; Then, from the perspective of reading and quality education, this paper discusses the most important issue of education, that is, the excellent development road of life; Then it analyzes the child's mind and parents' responsibility, and discusses the relationship between family environment, children's life situation and education. In the part of philosophy and Chinese teaching, it focuses on the education of humanistic spirit in life; The fifth part of life education and the sixth part of soul education have promoted today's education to a higher level and provided educators with a three-dimensional educational picture; Put forward questions about education, boldly question the current educational problems, and put forward their own distinct views; The education lecture described his own efforts and struggles in the field of education. Throughout the whole paper, I feel that Mr. Zhou's understanding of the essence of education is penetrating, and he is approaching the substantive issues with the eyes of philosophers.
The book also discusses how to read eternal books and classics and how to read them. Reading Mr. Zhou's words makes people feel very quiet, enjoy the process and gain a lot.
