This sentence comes from ushinski, a famous Russian classical educator. He is the founder of Russian ethnic schools and educational science, and is called "the teacher of Russian teachers".
Ushinski pays attention to educators' educational beliefs. In his view, "we entrust our children's innocent and susceptible hearts to education, and let education portray the initial and deepest outline on them." Therefore, we have every reason to ask educators what they want to pursue in their own work and demand a clear and decisive answer to this question. " Therefore, teachers' educational enthusiasm and scientific belief are their necessary educational qualifications.
This is also because ushinski believed in the power of faith in the process of education. He believes that educators can achieve real educational goals through the power of faith. "The most important way of human education is faith, and only faith can affect faith." In his view, any syllabus, any educational method, no matter how perfect, has not been transformed into the belief of educators, and it is still a dead letter. In education, the most complete supervision system is also useless. Educators should never be blind executors of certain instructions. If this instruction is not heated by the educator's personal belief, it will not produce any power.
In discussing the role of teachers, he defined education as a kind of spiritual edification, personality transformation and belief infection. Therefore, as long as teachers can set an example, education has great power. "For the spiritual growth of teenagers, the teacher's example is the most beneficial sunshine, and nothing can replace it."
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the cultivation of teachers' morality, which is the key for the educated to obtain high-quality education and a positive force affecting their character. He encouraged colleagues in the education field to actively exchange educational experience and help educators pursue perfection themselves.
