Reading a good book can enrich people's thoughts and broaden their horizons. Exquisite Professor Guo's "Education Inspires Life" calls for education to return to its origin!
Education stimulates life--a second discussion on student-oriented education as a companion piece of student-oriented education. Five years ago, "education is going to be student-oriented" emphasized breaking through the student-oriented theory in theory. Since then, Mr. Guo's research group has begun a deeper and arduous exploration. Through practice, they not only verified the theory, but also developed it initially, which resulted in a new book, Education Inspires Life.
Professor Guo said in the book: "Students are not only the objects of education, but also the resources of education." Yes, for a long time, in the minds of educators, students are only the objects of our education, and few people can realize that students are still rich and vivid teaching resources. Guo's brand-new educational proposition makes us know students again and rethink the relationship between teaching and learning.
The book tells such a story: an expert from Hong Kong told a story in his speech. Once in class, the teacher was ill and didn't come to class. The students are very happy, because the substitute teacher doesn't attend classes, as long as he cares that the students don't make noise, he can play anything. The students began to be very quiet and gradually their voices began to rise. At this time, the substitute teacher knocked on the table: Hey, you are so noisy, I'm going to give a lecture. "As a result, the students were scared, and the whole class immediately quieted down. The story told by Professor Guo tells us that playing is children's nature, while teaching and children's playing are opposites. Whether teaching can be transformed into "play" is difficult, and whether learning can be transformed into play has three advantages: first, the subject of learning and playing is the same, both of which are children themselves. Second, learning is learning truth, goodness and beauty. Third, children's nature of loving activities is essentially the nature of learning. Teaching must be transformed into learning. A teacher put it well, the school is a school, not a "church".
In the student-based education experiment, we will feel that even if we can teach a lot of things in the scope of basic education, learning is often much smoother and easier than teaching. Laozi said that "the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the ground is flat", but what he deduced to us is "things are smooth". If we find the true essence of things, things will become smooth. We find that learning is the noumenon of teaching, and teaching is originally used to help learning.
In the book, I made an imagination similar to a thought experiment. If you want to drink water, pick up mineral water and drink it without thinking, because you have a life need and instinct for drinking water. Now suppose that the teacher next to you has no need or instinct to drink water, so you need to teach, so you compile it into a textbook, teach it, and finally check it. The first section of the first chapter of the textbook must be "clockwise and counterclockwise" (the necessary knowledge of screwing the lid), and chapter N must be about how high the water bottle should be lifted ... Then, the neighbor is very tired, and he may only get 60 points. Besides, when he tried to drink water the way you taught him, he didn't drink it.
This story has a keen insight into the complicated basic education problems at present. It means that there are many things in our education that don't need to be taught, especially things that can be realized by instinct. We often teach instinct!
Associated with our actual teaching, for a long time, we have been teaching what instinct can achieve very seriously, and have done a lot of useless or harmful work. For example, in our physics teaching, guide students to learn the connection method of making small light bulbs shine. Before, we will teach students to connect one end of the light bulb with the positive electrode of the battery and the other end with the negative electrode of the battery. Step by step, students have little room for self-development.
Under the guidance of the student-oriented educational concept, teachers provide structured materials for students. Under the condition of ensuring safety, students can explore and practice by themselves, and students will find that two small light bulbs can emit light at the same time. Two batteries can be connected at the same time, which can increase the brightness of small bulbs. ...
You give students a chance to learn, don't think that they can't learn or refuse to learn. They will study with great interest, which is much more direct and convenient than teaching. To this end, we can further liberate children, and our work must be completed by students' own thinking and activities. We haven't paid attention to such simple and natural thinking for a long time. As teachers, we are often too subjective, so we waste a lot of time and energy.
In our traditional teaching, in fact, many aspects have seriously suppressed children's life nature, which has also led to a considerable number of sharp contradictions in education and teaching, so that many traditional teaching problems have basically reached the point where it is difficult to break through today. Looking back now, the essence of the education and teaching problem is still that the subject has not returned to the most critical object-"students".
The student-oriented education of "student-oriented, inspiring life" has been advocated as early as more than ten years ago, and it has always been clear and firm to take "all for students, highly respect students and rely on students in an all-round way" as its teaching purpose and goal, so as to truly return education to the education subject of "students", "children" and "children".
Student-oriented education is undoubtedly a bright reform road to solve the teaching problems of basic education. I think we can give children a real, vivid and wonderful classroom through student-oriented education. At present, our education needs students, please let our education return to students!
Read the model essay "Education Stimulates Life" (2) Give the class to the students, believe in the students, and you will create wonderful things. -Education Stimulates Life
Some time ago, I read Professor Guo's book "Education Inspires Life" and learned some ideas and forms of student-based teaching, which can be said to have benefited a lot. In the process of learning this concept, as a young teacher, I think more about how to effectively realize such a life-stimulating education and obtain a win-win situation of "teaching" and "learning". Among them, what impressed me the most was giving lessons to students and trusting them to create wonderful things.
When we educate students, we always emphasize the exemplary role invisibly, and demand to act according to the rules, thus formulating many rules and regulations to restrain children. Simply instilling knowledge, knowledge is always "dead" and quantitative. What we should do more is to guide students to divergent thinking, actively absorb knowledge and discover new problems. Therefore, only by putting down the classroom and trusting the students can we stimulate the collision of wisdom sparks and show the wonderful.
For example, in the class "One Hundred Years of Beauty" I taught, some students grasped the expression of Madame Curie's appearance (black dress, white and dignified face) and Madame Curie's indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune (donating bonuses to scientific research and France in the war and giving those medals as toys to her 6-year-old daughter), and saw Madame Curie's attitude of treating fame and fortune like dirt and being indifferent to fame and fortune. Some students grasped the word "possible" to talk about it, from which we can see that the experiment may succeed or fail, but Madame Curie still forgot to work, which shows Madame Curie's scientific spirit of dedication to science. In deep reading, students grasp the key words, taste the language of chewing the text, explore Madame Curie's great scientific spirit and reveal their true feelings. I didn't expect the students to be so eloquent in class.
In a word, returning to nature and putting people first is the fundamental starting point of our study. Trust the students and give them a stage. They are so wonderful that adults can't interpret them. This belief will also accompany my future teaching.
Comments on "Education Inspires Life" (3) As the saying goes, "Reading a good book is like talking to a noble person". Therefore, every time you finish reading a book, you will have more feelings and gains. During this time, I was lucky enough to come into contact with the book "Education Inspires Life". After reading this book, I am deeply touched.
Student-oriented education advocates "turning all activities as educators into the counseling force for students' autonomous learning". From teaching to promoting children's learning, the teacher's job should be "to be the organizer of planning children's study life, to help children learn independently and to organize children's study life smoothly". The core competence of teachers is the ability to organize students' learning. The meaning of teacher's help is only to enlighten and guide. The teacher's role is like lighting a torch, instead of pouring a pot of water as in the past. This determines that teachers can become "shepherds of life".
After reading the book "Education Inspires Life", as a teacher, there is indeed a lot to reflect on when re-examining myself. Even with these ideas, we still have a long way to go to put them into action. For example, how to properly handle the relationship between teachers and students, how to guide students in time and properly, how to let students develop freely and at the same time have trust and dependence on us, so as to make teaching activities carry out healthily and effectively.
"There is still a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will search for it." In the future teaching, as teachers, we will keep thinking and strive to realize the flight of life with our children in our own classroom.
Model essay after reading "Education Inspires Life" (4) Recently, I carefully read the book "Education Inspires Life", which is another masterpiece of Professor Guo's student-oriented educational concept. Professor Guo pointed out in his book that education should rely on life and enlighten life, so as to enjoy the magic of life, make the cause of inheriting and developing civilization present a benign development state, and solve the problems that education has not solved for many years today. As a primary school math teacher, I think we can start from the following aspects:
First, carefully preset before class to guide students to learn.
Professor Guo emphasizes students' subjective consciousness, and teaching should focus on learning, return the initiative of learning to students, and carry out teaching with the brand-new concept of "relying on students in an all-round way, highly respecting students and doing everything for students". Advocate giving students the right to think in the teaching process; Give students the initiative in class; Give students time and space to study and think. Class time is for students, and the teacher is just a guide. Therefore, it is particularly important to assign homework before class.
The classroom should be student-centered and give students the initiative in the classroom. Student-oriented education should be "doing before learning, meeting before learning;" Learn before teaching, teach without teaching ",so that you can understand the students' learning foundation through homework before class, and let students do it before learning and meet them before learning through the process of completing homework." In class, we can show students' homework and learn about each student's study. If students learn, it goes without saying. When students do something wrong, guide them to think and teach, and get twice the result with half the effort. However, teachers must carry out appropriate and effective regulation to arouse students' "thinking collision", provide students with a platform for mutual exchange and information sharing, guide students to carry out free and intense group discussions, and broaden students' thinking mode of solving problems.
For example, in the lesson of "Understanding RMB" in primary school mathematics, teachers can arrange some homework in advance, so that students can go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities accompanied by their parents, get a general understanding of the overall price of the purchased goods, and let students pay the bill, so that students can have an intuitive understanding of the role and usage of RMB. In class, the teacher asked the students to talk about the shopping process and the checkout process, and complete the knowledge learning through discussion.
Second, courses should be linked with life to help students learn.
Student-oriented education advocates trusting and relying on students, and thinks that students' nature is fun and is a way of learning. They are naturally interested in learning. In the usual teaching, we often find that primary school students think that mathematics is just some boring mathematics and formulas, which are difficult to understand. In fact, mathematics sometimes gives people a deep feeling, but it is the subject closest to our life and work. As long as you calm down and study math seriously, you will be able to learn math well and enjoy it. Teachers should pay attention to the fact that mathematics comes from life and is applied to life, so that students can experience the fun and importance of learning mathematics.
For example, in the process of understanding the angle, students' understanding of the angle is mostly limited to desks, workbooks, triangular rulers and so on. Without intuitive understanding, it is difficult to understand the degrees of angles, acute angles and right angles. In the classroom, the author will contact with real life, let students look for corners in the classroom and campus, then talk about the corners they have met and seen in their lives, and then discuss the characteristics and functions of various corners, so that students can know corners and have an understanding of the stability of triangles, which is also impressive.
Third, the classroom encourages evaluation and builds learning confidence.
Evaluating students' learning situation is an important part of classroom teaching. However, in our daily work, we will find that most teachers' evaluation of students does not play an encouraging role. In the evaluation, there are fewer words to encourage praise and more criticisms. Sometimes it even hurts children's self-esteem. Even if they praise, it is the same, and there is no novelty. Students will not think it is a kind of praise if they listen to it too much.
1, pay more attention and praise to students. A study of children's psychological institutions has proved that in the growth stage of children, 80% are words of praise and encouragement, and 20% are words of reminder, which is the most suitable proportion for children's psychological healthy growth. However, our teacher's praise for students is sometimes precious, because we still lack care for our children. I see many parents are full of love for their children, and their children can walk. Parents will feel really amazing and praise their children in the most beautiful language. Teachers should pay more attention to students and treat them as their own children, so as to praise them more.
2. Praise should be diversified and fresh. Most of our usual compliments are "you are really good" and "you are great", which is true for every student. In class, we often hear the teacher say "Come on, let's praise you", and then all the students applaud three times, mostly. China is rich in language and culture. There are many ways to praise a person. For example, you can use various languages and try not to repeat them. For example, you can say, "You are great!" Students will feel very trendy and give them a subtitle or a little star. For example, our school adopted the evaluation method of "five-star music" for students, and this scientific evaluation method inspired students.
From the scientific world to the life world education, from the main scientific methods to lifestyle education, from teacher-student education to student-oriented education, we still have many problems to learn and solve. I hope that under the guidance of student-oriented education theory, our classroom teaching will be more exciting, and children's personality growth and study life will be more exciting.
After reading "Education Inspires Life" (5) I read Professor Guo's book "Education Inspires Life" during the holiday, and I firmly believe that children have unlimited potential. As long as we trust them and give them enough time, space and atmosphere, they will give us a surprise. No one can teach anyone anything. In other words, students must internalize everything they learn. So this last process was not completed by the teacher. In this sense, human acquisition ultimately depends not on teaching, but on active learning.
People habitually regard children as "a blank sheet of paper". The book emphasizes that children are not a "zero starting point" and that every life has advanced instincts. If we can create and provide an open and diversified development environment for students, our students' chances of obtaining a development model suitable for them will be greatly improved.
Approaching the student-oriented education and entering the student-oriented classroom, I deeply feel that the student-oriented education advocates a high degree of respect for students, allowing students to learn first, teachers to teach later, teaching with learning, group and class exchanges and discussions, and teachers' timely guidance, all of which reflect the students' dominant position. Student-oriented education advocates "turning all activities as educators into the counseling force for students' autonomous learning". From teaching to promoting children's learning, the teacher's job should be to be the organizer of planning children's study life, to help children learn independently, to organize their study life and to cultivate their good study habits. It is also the teacher who has been liberated in the liberation of students. Lead students to improve themselves while studying. Student-oriented classroom makes me realize that education depends on students, and children's life is brilliant and their mental outlook is brand-new. For another example, students can always prepare for the next class before each class. As soon as the bell rings, they shout out the loud slogan of their class, and then everyone shares it for two minutes (classic reading or reciting, etc. Seeing the lovely faces and attentive expressions of the children, our teacher will be more passionate-do well in every class. ...
Professor Guo once said: "Teachers' guidance should focus on designing the process of" doing before learning ",which is an important link in student-oriented education. The habit of "learning first" is of great help to students. Self-study and preview once, twice or three or four times can't form a habit, so we should persevere. The more times you act, the stronger your habit will be, and the more you can stand all kinds of tests. I believe that using our patience and perseverance to help children form a good habit will benefit them for life.
We take teaching materials as the carrier, make use of the interest of teaching materials and students' common emotional learning, cultivate students' good habits of autonomous learning, and then learn to survive and develop. In classroom teaching, we should give full play to students' main role and stimulate students' memory motivation and learning enthusiasm. Guide students to discover in cooperative inquiry, induce students to question in discussion and exchange, and encourage students to feel in reading. Let students feel through experience, develop through innovation and grow through development.
Teachers should be "shepherds" relative to students' lives. The meaning of teachers is only to inspire and guide, and the role of teachers is like lighting a torch, rather than "filling a pot of water" as used to think. Our classroom is no longer full of teachers, but teachers ignite passion and make the classroom a stage for students to burn their enthusiasm for learning.
One of the most famous examples of "student-oriented education" is "seedling throwing enlightenment" What is "seedling throwing enlightenment"? Transplanting is a big farm work to grow rice. For a long time, farmers have been planting in layers, thinking that the more they work, the more they get. Year after year, people follow this method, but the yield of rice seedlings remains unchanged. I don't know who invented the seedling throwing method, but farmers changed transplanting to seedling throwing, but it could bring a bumper harvest. At first glance, hard work can't bring corresponding rewards, but leisure can bring a bumper harvest, which is completely contrary to common sense. Transplanting actually concentrates our desire for a bumper harvest, but it destroys the natural law of free growth of seedlings. For example, in education, teachers are like farmers transplanting rice seedlings, subjectively wanting a good harvest, but they didn't expect that when we planted seedlings densely, the laws of nature had been destroyed. Students are also our seedlings. When we turn knowledge and behavior into some detailed goals, we will put forward detailed requirements for students. As everyone knows, students are ungrateful for this kind of "nanny", "indoctrination" and "spoon-feeding" education. Because students are generally unwilling to directly accept the norms stipulated by external forces. Because these are not part of their thinking, but whether these norms are in line with children's nature and how to make students agree. In short, we should respect human's natural laws, develop students' nature and give full play to their learning potential. Maybe we can achieve what we have tried before. The core of the concept of "student-oriented education" is "everything is for students, students are highly respected, and students are the purpose of education".
Is a flower, there is always a time to bloom, even if the flower season has passed, it will bloom the most beautiful life at the right time. By the same token, as long as they are normal people, they will be enlightened one day. So, don't rush to pull out the seedlings, just provide enough nutrients and wait quietly, just like waiting for a flower to open quietly ... Waiting patiently for the flower to bloom, you can realize the true harmony of teaching and learning, and you can really feel the happiness of a simple "shepherd" under the student-oriented concept.
