Passion for education is the most basic prerequisite for doing a good job in education, but passion and enthusiasm alone are not enough. We must seek truth and be pragmatic, reform and innovate, and realize the unity of science and art. How to understand the relationship between scientific and artistic education is the key to running education well.
What is educational science? Science is the law, and the law of education is the internal, essential and inevitable connection between educational elements in the process of education. What is the art of education? Educational art is a unique set of creative education and teaching activities in which teachers flexibly use language, expressions, movements, psychological activities, image organization, laws and other means to give full play to the role of educational emotion and achieve the best teaching effect.
So, what is the relationship between science and art? Educational science is the foundation of educational art, that is to say, people who don't master educational science can't talk about using educational art at all. Anything that can be called the art of education conforms to the law of education. Only by mastering the laws of education can teachers realize their unique creative teaching activities. Teaching art is the expression form of higher realm of educational science. Educational science pays attention to seeking truth, which is universal and reproducible. However, the art of education pays attention to innovation, has individuality and particularity, and cannot be copied. Judging from the relationship between educational science and educational art, teaching should be divided into three levels and realms, namely, experience teaching-science teaching-art teaching.
At present, there are two tendencies in China's education and teaching research. One is to ignore the research of educational science and emphasize the role of educational teaching art, that is, to ignore the research and discussion of the general laws of education and teaching and overemphasize the individualized teaching art; The other is to describe the nonstandard teaching method of personality education as the art of education. In fact, many teachers' teaching is still in the stage of experience teaching and has not yet reached the stage of scientific teaching. At this stage, the scientific and artistic nature of teaching is very low. However, we euphemistically say that teaching is an art and we can't pursue sameness.
We are not against the artistry of education and teaching, but the premise of artistry is science. The efficient life classroom we promote is a regular teaching model for all teachers and students. It aims at the all-round development of students and teachers, follows the laws of people's physical and mental development, students' cognitive laws and logical laws of knowledge development, emphasizes that teaching serves learning, and constructs a classroom model and management model centered on autonomous learning and democratic management, emphasizing the scientific and universality of education and teaching, rather than the universality of education and teaching. Scientific education and teaching mode is to make ordinary teachers take extraordinary classes and ordinary students become the best themselves. However, some principals and teachers oppose the scientific teaching mode on the grounds that education and teaching are art, emphasize the individualization of education and teaching, and even describe individualization as artistry, which is extremely wrong.
We advocate artistic innovation on the basis of science. It should be said that when the scientific level of teaching is improved to a certain extent, it will inevitably move towards artistic teaching. There is no art education and teaching that is divorced from science, and there is no pure science education and teaching that does not contain artistic factors at all. The truly high-level education and teaching is the unity of science and art, therefore, the artistic innovation of education and teaching is advocated on the basis of scientific framework.
Without science education, we will leave the truth, without art education, there will be no life. To overcome the wrong tendency of attaching importance to one and neglecting two, especially the practice of attaching importance to art and neglecting science, personality will be regarded as art, which will affect the improvement of the scientific level of education. At present, there are many educational and teaching activities that do not focus on educational science, either on how to contribute or how to improve teaching art. These are not unimportant. There is no love without dedication, and there is no education without love. This is the most fundamental prerequisite for running a good education. Without artistic innovation, there would be no educational life, because the teachers themselves are very different and the students they face are very different. How can you emphasize the same? Therefore, the current work should focus on the exploration and application of the laws of education and teaching.
