In reality, teachers are faced with too many unavoidable puzzles in their career: a lot of tedious affairs make teachers physically and mentally exhausted and become painful transactionalists; Step-by-step work makes teachers gradually lose themselves and become teachers who lack innovative consciousness; Repeated teaching leads to teachers becoming less and less sensitive to their careers and losing their vitality and passion; The great pressure of the senior high school entrance examination, parents' earnest hope and students' quiet rebellion, and the strong social dissatisfaction with exam-oriented education make teachers become "embarrassed people" living in the cracks.
Man, Living Poetically is a poem by Holdrin, a German romantic poet in the 9th century. After the elaboration of Heidegger's philosophy, "living poetically on the earth" has become the common aspiration of almost everyone. With a poet's intuition and sensitivity, Holderlin realized that with the development of science and technology, industrial civilization will increasingly alienate people. In order to avoid being alienated, he appealed to people to find their way home.
This is as described by Holderlin in Vision: "When a person's living life leads to a distant place, there, in that distant place, the grapes are shining. Summer is also an empty field, and the forest appears in a profound image. Nature is full of images of time. Nature stands still, and time flies. It all comes from perfection. As a result, the light in the sky shines on people, just like flowers beside trees. " From this, it is not difficult to understand that dwelling is a state of human existence, and living poetically means living poetically, while poetry comes from understanding and grasping life, and living poetically means looking for people's spiritual home.
The idea of "living poetically" advocated by Holderlin and Heidegger aims to resist the disappearance of individuality and the rigidity and fragmentation of life brought about by science and technology through the artistry and poeticization of life. In the words of Wang Fuzhi, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, he worked hard all day. "Counting meters to make a salary, frustrating every day, looking up at the sky and not knowing its height, overlooking the ground and not knowing its thickness, although he felt like a dream, although he was blind, he was diligent in moving his four bodies but his heart was ineffective."
"Man lives poetically on the earth" depicts a real and comfortable life state, reminding and inspiring people to explore "meaningful existence" associated with man's ultimate concern. Let teachers live poetically in education, that is, teachers regard education as a part of their lives, and education enables teachers to improve their lives.
Education is essentially an activity to awaken people's life consciousness, enlighten people's spiritual world, construct people's life style and realize people's life value. Only by stimulating teachers' lives can we realize the life-oriented education reform. But now the existence of teachers is more of an industrial existence, and the specialization of teachers has been shaped into the specialization of workers, losing the essence of teachers' life.
Modern educational reform is based on the integrity, freedom, creativity and uniqueness of life, and is characterized by the educational concept of paying attention to the value of life, the educational content of returning to the life world, the educational implementation based on life experience and the educational evaluation of promoting life development. It lays the foundation for every student's lifelong learning and development and realizes a happy life as the core, trying to show the spiritual essence of caring for the existence of life and enhancing the meaning of life. In reality, teachers' life is squeezed in the sanctified professional role, mandatory institutional norms and excessive social expectations. Awakening teachers' life consciousness, enhancing teachers' vitality, improving teachers' life realm and realizing teachers' life value are the realistic and ultimate concerns for teachers' life.
The poetic dwelling of teachers is the dwelling of spiritual meeting. It is the sharing and expression of experience between teachers and students, and the opening and dialogue between teachers and students, so the educational process presents two-way communication, dynamic construction, joy of growth and happiness of development; It is teachers who enter the text, understand the text, explain the text, and explore the consensus and coexistence in the spiritual field; It is the teacher's thinking and questioning about the existence of life, the experience and reflection on daily practice, the pursuit and confirmation of educational beliefs, and the sensitivity and grasp of the changes of the times. It enables teachers to face life and meaning, situation and challenge, dialogue and generation, perfection and development.
Teachers are born and exist for education, and the whole meaning of teachers' existence points to the development of students and the progress of society. This is a way of life for teachers. Caring for teachers' survival means not only caring for their class survival, but also caring for their individual survival. Human life exists and develops in concrete individuals and in the interaction with the environment. The life value of a specific individual can only be realized through subjective efforts, reflection, learning and continuous transcendence in his own life experience. Without the care and promotion of specific personal life, it is difficult to achieve individual development.
In order to pursue the achievement and enrollment rate, teachers have to give up their own emotional projection and self-processing of teaching, play the role of "mechanical workers", repeat simple teaching procedures, and implement "technology-oriented" science teaching. At this time, the teacher as a human being is regarded as an available resource and tool, and the teacher as a talent has become a "material" of human beings, and its own value and essence are seriously obscured. As Fromm said in For Yourself,' I' is no longer' what am I', but' what do you need'. Teachers' "poetic life" is not only the inevitable requirement of teachers' life development, but also reflects the true existence of life education.
Gui Youguang's "Ling Xuan Zhi" has a cloud: "Borrowing books is full of shelves, singing songs and sitting, and everything is noisy; And the footsteps are silent, birds peck, and people don't go. On the fifth night of March, half of the month, the laurel shadow is mottled, windy and lovely. " This is the life after teaching that I admire very much. (18.9.9 "Education")
