Comments on the Theory of Happy Education; The Theory of Happy Education was written by Dr. Liu. This is Liu's doctoral thesis. In the year of his graduation, it was published by Nanjing Normal University Press, which had a certain influence in theoretical circles and primary and secondary schools, indicating people's recognition and interest in the basic idea of this paper. On Happiness Education creatively defines the concept of happiness from the perspective of pedagogy, and holds that education and happiness have a natural connection, but contemporary educational practice has destroyed this natural connection. The theory of happiness education put forward in On Happiness Education applies the dialectical thinking of the unity of subject and object, and carries out a profound educational revolution from the aspects of intellectual education, physical education, moral education and teacher work.
Happiness is an old topic with different opinions. In different historical periods, from academic research to secular life, there are very rich and different views. As far as discipline research is concerned, ethics is discussed more than pedagogy. Liu chose the topic of "happiness" and connected it with education. In addition to his special sensitivity and enthusiasm for humanitarian issues in thought and reality, it is not unrelated to his independent, introverted and persistent personality. He regards sound education as a human right, and thinks that school education should teach people a sound and reasonable view of happiness and make people feel happy. His basic idea and the purport of value pursuit make this paper pay attention to the hot issues discussed in contemporary international education.
This paper makes a historical review of the concept of happiness, makes a comprehensive and systematic thinking on the issue of happiness by materialist dialectics, and puts forward the concept of happiness in the sense of philosophical epistemology, which should be more suitable for education than grasping the concept of happiness in the sense of social ethics for a long time. Because education is a cause facing and entering into all-round humanity, it not only acts on people's social ethics. The article holds that happy emotion comes from the internal unification process of subject and object, and it is also a process in which subject expands and surpasses itself through the mutual transformation between subject and object. Through this view of internal unity, the author reinterprets and explains the relationship between knowledge, body and mind and the relationship between man and himself in the process of education, thus constructing the theoretical framework of happiness education. There are some desirable educational viewpoints, ideas, educational positions and ways of thinking in innovating the original educational concepts and criticizing the current educational situation. In my opinion, they are enlightening and warning to educational theorists and practitioners.
The rise of contemporary emotional education has its reasonable philosophical foundation and deep roots in educational life, which inevitably indicates its development prospects. Over the years, the situation and trend of education reform at home and abroad have increasingly shown the outstanding position of emotional dimension. In the ongoing curriculum reform in China, all courses without exception clearly emphasize the cultivation of students' emotional attitude, which is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The development of emotion is closely related to the growth of moral personality, the cultivation of aesthetic quality and the emergence of creativity. An education that does not pay attention to or even ignore people's emotional level and does not infiltrate positive emotions in educational activities is not suitable for people's growth and runs counter to our school purpose. It is an education that needs to be reformed. We can't let this imperfect education exist!
Of course, over the years, we have put forward the concept and proposition of emotional education, advocated emotional education experiments, and never gave up the importance of human cognition. On the contrary, we always believe that although emotions and emotions have their relatively independent physiological operation mechanism and their particularity in the way of cultural action, human emotions can only become "human" emotions if they constantly absorb the fruits of cognitive processing. As a unique positive emotion, the happiness emotion studied and defined by Liu is not only emotional, but also has profound rational connotation, not only psychological feelings, but also ethical significance. Without this kind of happy mood in the individual's spiritual world, the individual's life will be unfortunate; Without this kind of happy emotion appearing and persisting in the process of education, its education is not perfect, and it is the education that will inevitably bring up morbid deformed people.
Through the investigation and analysis of educational happiness, Liu expressed his understanding of education and entrusted his educational ideal, which I agree with and support. I hope that Liu can make solid research, work hard and pursue all his life along the developed fields and roads, and contribute the intellectual achievements that the contemporary China Doctor of Education should create to the research of emotional education and moral education in China. I sincerely hope that more scholars and young students will be interested in emotional education and moral education and join our harmonious and pleasant research.
Dr. Liu's On Happiness Education first defines the concept of happiness in philosophy and pedagogy with a comprehensive view of human nature, and then puts forward that there is a natural internal relationship between happiness and education, and "happiness is the ultimate goal of education". Then the author exposes and criticizes the phenomenon of forgetting, infringing and hurting students' happy life in contemporary education with rich practical materials, and puts forward a series of new viewpoints.
Everyone pursues happiness and loves it. So, what is happiness? Because of different values and life experiences, everyone has different views. Some people think that money is happiness. Isn't there a song that says "the rich are the boss"? Some people think that freedom is happiness, and this person inside the high wall is deeply touched; Some people think that enjoying family ties is the happiest. Don't believe it. Look at the lonely figure wandering in the street. Their melancholy eyes are full of fear. Some people are nostalgic for the prestige of the officialdom, and they are willing to bow their heads; Then the athletes holding the five-star red flag will taste the joy of success in the solemn national anthem ... but there are also many people who have been living in happiness without realizing it. My innocent student is one of them.
Every time they deal with their parents, they always clap their chests and say, "teacher, we don't ask much of our children, as long as they get good grades." At home, clothes come to reach out, food comes to mouth, and there are several pocket money every day. In short, as long as it is helpful for learning, we all fully support it. " What are the good conditions? Compared with our time, how much better are their conditions? Supposedly, they should feel extremely happy, cherish all this and strive for progress. On the contrary, isn't such nursery rhymes very popular on campus? "It is better to participate when you are tired of learning." This makes the parents who are "suffering" angry and makes the teachers who are "looking forward to it" even more uncomfortable. What blinded the innocent eyes of children? What makes children talk about books?
The experience of making students happy is actually very simple. As a grass-roots educator, we can easily find that in the process of education, a little red hook, an affirmative smile, a loud applause and a bright red flower are enough to cheer up children. There was once a shy little boy who always sat timidly in the chair in the classroom as if everything had nothing to do with him, and everyone felt sorry for him. I gave this little guy a sincere smile and walked away as if nothing had happened. Later, I often wrote a few words in his exercise book intentionally or unintentionally: You have made great progress than before. Come on! You did a good job. You can do it! In class, I slowly gave him more opportunities to show. I was surprised to find that children's long-lost laughter occasionally appeared in the classroom! There are too many such stories, and our children are too easy to satisfy! The happy smiles on their faces intoxicated me! Appreciate your students and warm their hearts with love. Countless miracles can be created. Why don't we be generous and give our children more confidence, support and encouragement? Occasionally put down the dry chalk, use the pointer seriously, touch the students' heads, a silent action, and the sunshine will spill into the students' hearts. Warm sunshine sprinkled on students' hearts is often more instructive than emotionless chalk, pointer, textbooks and teaching AIDS.
Happiness is not far away from us, it is all around us. Smart people, as long as you use your smart mind and your enthusiasm, you can live a happy life! Dear colleagues, don't you pray for happiness every day? Let's act, let's be a happy teacher, let our children grow up in happiness, and let's create a happy education with Mr. Liu!
What is happiness after reading The Theory of Happiness Education? Because of different values and life experiences, everyone has different views. Some people think that material sufficiency is happiness; Some people think that having freedom is happiness; Some people think that enjoying family is the happiest; Some people think that when we taste the joy of success, we are happiest ... happiness is what we long for. However, there are also many people who live in happiness without realizing it, especially our students.
I was fortunate enough to read Mr. Liu's book on moral education, On Happiness Education. I have benefited a lot and felt a lot. First of all, Mr. Liu defined the concept of happiness in philosophy and pedagogy with a comprehensive view of human nature, and then proposed that happiness and education have a natural internal relationship, "happiness is the ultimate goal of education." Then the author exposes and criticizes the phenomenon of forgetting, violating and hurting students' happy life in contemporary education with rich practical materials, and puts forward a series of new viewpoints with many feelings.
I am an educator, what I should grasp is the meaning of happy education, and under the guidance of scientific education concept, let students get happy feelings. Make them form a correct view of happiness, self-confidence and the ability to pursue happiness independently, and make them gradually develop into subjects with happiness ability.
Education should be the cause of happiness. Let the students' wisdom and personality develop simultaneously, and let all the educated students have the ability to understand happiness, create happiness, contribute happiness style and experience happiness, and all of them have high quality to improve the quality of life. So as to achieve high-grade talents and promote the harmonious development of individuals and society. Is education to improve people's living conditions and quality of life, or to make students live happier? In the final analysis, education is to lay the foundation for every student's lifelong happiness.
Of course, as a teacher, it is not so easy to give children happiness at work. We must know what the happiness of children is. Although children's happiness is different, there are always some things about them. In order to find out these things, teachers need to love, respect and feel their children. Constantly think about what kind of education is closer to children's lives, so that children can learn more happily and efficiently. "Children are feet, education is shoes", and educators are shoemakers. Only by making suitable shoes can children be happy; Only by making suitable shoes can a shoemaker experience the happiness of success. In other words, only education based on understanding children will be suitable for them. Only according to the age characteristics of children, education that meets their interests is the right education. To do this, teachers must regard education as a happy career and actively create and enjoy happiness in this process.
Finally, I want to end my speech by quoting two sentences: "I am convinced that the purpose of our education is not only to cultivate creative citizens who can participate in the country's construction most effectively, but also to turn educated people into happy people." "For teachers of happiness education, education is not sacrifice, but enjoyment, not repetition, but creation, not a means of making a living, but life itself!" Let's act, let's be a happy teacher, let our children grow up in happiness, and let's create a happy education with Mr. Liu!
As a front-line teacher, I think different happiness depends on different people's attitudes and moods. Just as many people envy the purity and stability of teachers' profession, many teachers also envy the wealth outside the wall and feel bored, painful and even terrible about their work year after year. How can teachers' professional happiness not decline? As a result, there is a terrible job burnout, and the enthusiasm for work is lost to the point where teachers' happiness is completely annihilated. Therefore, the reality is that our spirit is always spinning in the complexity and noise of life, always busy with the petty profits of life, only exhausted for the work of life, and getting farther and farther away from the happiness of education. But when we feel a pair of ignorant eyes shining with wisdom because of your guidance, we are happy! We are shaping students. When we trust each other, promise each other and pay each other, we sprout from the deep heart: children need our love, and their young and innocent hearts only know how to persist and overcome difficulties, but never complain. So sensible and strong children, let us see, how can we not feel happy? What do we see when we work hard, when we take pains to educate students, when we care about students carefully, and when we help them solve problems in their study and life? We see gratitude, respect and love in the eyes of students. We are praised by leaders, affirmed by teachers and recognized by parents. Isn't it a kind of happiness? Day after day, year after year, as time goes by, students come and go, and we are always repeating yesterday's story. Maybe the occasional burnout confuses us. When they go out, my heart is full of joy! Mencius said that it should be a kind of happiness to "get the talents in the world and have three pleasures in education". If we regard the process of teaching and educating people as a journey, encounter different scenery and treat it with appreciation, we can firmly grasp the happiness of education.
In the eyes of ordinary people, primary school students are carefree and stress-free, so they are really happy. From the survey, the reality is not what we expected. 33% of the respondents "often feel stressed" and 53% of the respondents "sometimes feel stressed". In other words, more than 80% of primary school students are suffering from "growth pressure" to varying degrees. Where do these pressures come from? 38% respondents believe that the growth pressure mainly comes from learning competition; 49% respondents believe that the growth pressure mainly comes from parents' high expectations; . In the final analysis, these pressures of students are also caused by the heartfelt concern of the adults around them. Parents and teachers should constantly educate their children to study hard and learn more knowledge. Not only that, but also learn well. In order to let children learn well, some parents take pains to send their children to and from school every day. I was forced to study so-called interest classes on weekends, and even the time for playing and entertainment was wasted. In order to make children learn well, some teachers give them a lot of homework every day or during holidays to prevent students from neglecting their studies. Will you feel happy when your innocent and carefree childhood becomes so gloomy?
Due to the limited time, I just glanced at the article and couldn't express any profound opinions, so I will taste and study it slowly in the future.
