Origin: Be the teacher in your heart.
"The hometown of self-education is in China. Self-education and self-management are the fine traditions of education in China. " Every time I go to school, Professor He, the president of the Education Management Branch of China Education Association and the leader of the research group, always likes to say this sentence.
Professor He told the reporter about the original intention of the project: when talking with the teacher about work, the most common complaint is that the work is too tired and the pressure for further study is too great. Many class teachers feel that the task of managing students is too heavy and there are too many trivial things, so they are unwilling to be class teachers. Many teachers complain that students have a heavy burden and poor initiative. "If so, is there any responsibility for education? When it comes to the task of education, the most talked about is to cultivate innovative talents. " Professor He showed worried eyes. "What is the most important feature of innovative talents? They are people with clear self-awareness, high degree of autonomy and rich imagination. Do we have ideas and strategies for cultivating innovative talents? "
"The situation facing education has changed and the tasks have changed, but the changes in education itself are still too small to meet the needs of social development and the needs of the younger generation to shoulder the heavy responsibility of society." Professor He said. "Education should give people more self-confidence, as well as ideas and abilities that reflect this self-confidence. We must inspire love, wisdom and perseverance in their hearts. "
"We hope that the strongest voice on campus is' I am diligent, I am successful and I am happy', not' you should work hard' or' you should study hard! You must observe discipline. Professor Zhou, head of the expert group of the research group and expert consultant of Beijing Municipal Government, said, "It is the sacred duty of educators to awaken individual self-awareness, stimulate students' self-education and be the masters of their own destiny, whether it is infiltrating into various courses and activities or offering some self-education courses. Let everyone always have a teacher in their heart, and let everyone be their own teacher! "
Ascension: education without starting point and ending point
On September 24, 2006, at the expert demonstration meeting on the topic of "Experimental Research on Self-education and Self-management of Primary and Secondary School Students" held by Shenyang Normal University, three experts who participated in the demonstration agreed that the topic could be started and agreed to start the experimental research.
At present, the project has entered the formal experimental stage. The experimental group visited 38 experimental schools in more than 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, organized and compiled the experimental instruction manual of self-education and self-management, and conducted specific guidance and centralized training according to the actual situation of the school.
Hiltara Central School in Hailar, Inner Mongolia is a nine-year compulsory education school in rural areas, which has kindergartens under its jurisdiction. At the beginning of the experiment, it was in the midst of intense campus environment transformation. Even so, the teachers and students who participated in the research still insisted on the experiment. President Li Guangjiang said with emotion: "Self-education is very important for rural students to change their closed consciousness, rude language and laissez-faire living habits."
"Let children manage themselves and realize that the greatest happiness is to be needed and show the value of life in helping others. Such people can stand on their own feet when they step into society. " Xu Jianping, president of Zhejiang Quzhou No.2 Middle School, quoted Professor Chen Xiaoda of East China Normal University as saying: "This subject is an education with no beginning and no end." In Quzhou No.2 Middle School, each class independently formulates class rules and sets up a display window, which permeates self-education and self-management into all aspects of students' lives.
Results: imperceptibly.
The theory of self-education and self-management has been widely recognized by the leaders, teachers, students and parents of the experimental school in one and a half years of experiments. They all said that teaching students self-education and self-management is a profound change in school education and an inevitable trend of educational development. Self-education and self-management are the necessary consciousness and ability of a new generation of citizens. The project experiment is still going on, and there is still a long way ahead. "We hope that through the research of this topic, we can cultivate a number of schools that carry out self-education and self-management nationwide, form an influence, and promote the transformation of educational concepts, educational behaviors and training models, so that students, teachers and schools can benefit from it and develop." Professor He said to him:
"If we don't do it, we will do our best." The words of President Li of Beijing Yanqing No.11 Middle School also express the common determination of the participating schools.
