In fact, what I want to express in my heart is that as teachers, our narrow vision, especially our proud narrow vision, paranoid attitude and behavior, is destroying our education step by step.
Do you think what I want to say is the perfect score composition of Zhejiang candidates? No, I'm just introspection.
I am ashamed to say that a few days ago, I actually started to look at the general history of the world because of embarrassment.
At the end of last semester, when arranging the summer reading challenge, Ben and another classmate in the class resolutely chose the summer challenge "Global History". At the beginning of the summer vacation, he first watched a set of Children's World History that had been put on hold for a long time, and then began to read General History of the World. In fact, this summer vacation, he unexpectedly began to fall into the physical world. He has read three or four physics books, and the general history of the world advances about ten pages every day according to the task. I have to say, for an eleven-year-old child, "global history" is really a bit difficult. Therefore, as a person with little knowledge, I decided to study with my children.
To tell the truth, I have hardly skipped this aspect since I studied world history in high school. And my impression of world history is limited to what the junior high school history teacher said. In high school, I got almost nothing. My only memory is that I keep marking key points and reciting knowledge points repeatedly, and I get low marks in every exam.
However, after watching the global history this time, I feel ashamed of my ignorance. It turns out that my view of history still stays in the past twenty years, and my understanding of history still stays in "concept" and "knowledge". I know nothing about human development, the reasons behind historical phenomena and the pattern of world development. Even I lack a comprehensive understanding of the history of China. Only then did we begin to understand the background of some topics that brothers often argue about, and began to understand the important secular significance of "news" to us, and how much a person needs to have the ability of critical thinking in a world destined to be closed forever.
However, I don't think I have learned anything from this reading. I'm just deeply glad that I have a little more common sense of modern people. Yes, standing in the rich history of mankind, we use the stagnant and narrow vision of primitive people, which is a waste of thousands of years of human civilization experience. If we don't understand this, what's the difference between us and closed primitive people? If we don't even have such common sense, if we don't even have such a historical framework thinking, how can I stand on the podium as a teacher and influence students day by day with my understanding of the world?
Come to think of it carefully, it is only an opportunity to read the General History of the World with "stupid * * *". What really ignited my interest in history was the training at Zhengzhou No.1 Airport Experimental School last month. Sister Shanshan had a class about the Opium War, and Teacher Yang Chao shared a class design about An Shi Rebellion. Teacher Gan gave the definition and direction of "new comprehensive literature". I suddenly understand the essence of new comprehensive literature and Chinese, and suddenly feel that learning history is necessary for teachers of any subject. Without an understanding of history, we can't better understand our present world. Every "we" misunderstanding of the "modern world" will be in the depths of time, which will inevitably lead to blindness and weakness of our country.
In this era of global integration, this is not an alarmist.
I remember last winter vacation, Xue Qi, a former graduate student, came back to chat with me because she wanted to write a graduation thesis on "Teachers' Morality". I'm always bad at interacting with people. Even the students who were close to me suddenly came back to me, which often made me feel scared and at a loss. But Xue Qi gave me more introspection with her understanding of education, and I am very grateful.
Xue Qi asked me, is it possible for teachers to do things that violate teachers' ethics because of their "power"? To tell the truth, this is the first time that I have positively considered the matter of "teachers' power". All along, I have never associated "teacher" with "power". However, since there is this understanding, it has to be thought-provoking.
I told Xue Qi that teachers' professional ethics is first and foremost human morality. As long as there are morally corrupt people in the crowd, any group is inevitable, and teachers and doctors will have such morally corrupt people. This is a question of probability, but the probability of the teacher group should be smaller, but it must not be zero. These small probabilities cannot represent the whole group of teachers. Secondly, my understanding of teachers' "professional ethics" is actually closely related to the professional level. For example, when a student made a mistake, or faced with an offense from a student, when I just graduated, I might understand that there was something wrong with his moral character, and he deliberately offended my self-esteem. Because of this understanding, I may deal with this matter in a punitive or even more extreme way, even if such a thing does not happen. Now, I may think about the background and reason of his doing this from another angle, and handle this matter gently with the understanding that "all children who make mistakes are the children who need help most", and even try to heal and help him in a professional way.
Is this my professional ethics improved? No, it's just that my understanding of education has increased and my professional ability has been enhanced. Where does this professional ability come from? For example, reading related books. Suhomlinski's pedagogy, children's personality education and educational purposes ... reading educational books and learning related psychology and pedagogy are just common sense that a teacher should master. Of course, I know, some people will say that these things have been learned in college. Have you learned? We have just chosen these subjects. In the first ten years after graduation, my understanding and application of pedagogy and psychology were basically in a state of ignorance. The reason why we know nothing is that we were learning on the basis of being divorced from reality, and at the same time we were only learning concepts, which did not involve real learning in related fields.
I only know a little about pedagogy and psychology these two years, that's all.
Philosophy is also essential.
There is no philosophical common sense in China people's life. In the past six months, the only philosophy that China people can feel may be just a joke about the epidemic: "Every day, the community security guards will ask you three questions about the soul with a temperature gun: Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? "
There was a lot of noise and laughter, not torture.
Perhaps, from the moment we study history, our brains have closed their thinking about philosophy, at least for me. What kind of philosophy is just a series of unforgettable "metaphysics", which is meaningless to our life. The most feared page in the whole history textbook is philosophy. -This is really the sorrow of our education. We were eager to open it through a small textbook, but in the end we got one door after another.
It may also be because we lack such thinking in our tradition. Because from the beginning, China's philosophy has a strong realistic flavor, and rarely points to self-questioning and reflection. A few commendable philosophical figures, such as Wang Yangming, have long been labeled as "idealism" in history textbooks and become the object of ridicule. We lack philosophical common sense, let alone philosophical thinking, so we can't torture our souls, let alone examine our lives.
Because of this, we can't even understand this year's perfect score composition in Zhejiang Province.
We don't need to cover up our true ignorance by not understanding a few obscure words in the text. If only a few words that can't even read hinder us, it is the ability of primary school students to guess and read in context. In fact, what we really don't understand is the background of western philosophy in this article and the reflection on where people come from and where to go.
What Heidegger, Nietzsche, MacIntyre, Wittgenstein? I have never heard of any of them; What is nihilism, Dadaism, the Baron in the book? My life story is embedded in the story of the same body, charming and enchanting, lions, children, camels, pouring on us while we are shaping our own lives? I don't understand a word. I don't understand, it's not the fault of this 18-year-old middle school student. He doesn't talk nonsense, but we don't know it ourselves. This ignorance should not be our pride!
Yes, for the first time, I was also confused. If I hadn't been a teacher with me for more than ten days last summer, I might not have the courage to read it again. However, when I read it for the second time, I expressed my admiration and respect for this 18-year-old high school student, a college entrance examination candidate who wrote the questioner's "life experience" as "life inquiry" in the examination room. At the same time, as an almost puzzled Chinese teacher, I feel ashamed that I only began to understand the light of philosophy last year, and I am still ignorant this year.
Some people say that this student loves "dazzle" too much. I want to say that I also tried to dazzle Stendhal in the composition field of the college entrance examination, trying to please the marking teacher, and actually got a higher score than usual; I want to say that as long as all beings (including thousands of adults) create a field to show off their skills, a student aged 18 is not allowed to get high marks for it? I want to say, given this high score, what should we advocate? We do not advocate the use of uncommon words, but advocate extensive reading, real thinking and rich style. I want to say that when I was in college, my classmates around me still liked to quote classics to prove their views. Now we are all washed away and become "simple and vulgar". This is a writing process and an inevitable experience of life. Why can you stand the years and ask a student who can only sit?
Perhaps, I can only use one sentence in this candidate's article to illustrate: "The arrogance of prejudice is far above the arrogance of intellectuals."
Before I went to Zhengzhou, because of the needs of the salon, I asked the principal to count the teachers' problems, and one of them hit me. I put it at the end of the salon discussion, that is: how can I grow up after ten years of teaching and encountering bottlenecks?
This was my question two years ago. My answer is: if you only teach exams, it is really enough to sharpen a sword for ten years; But education is really as deep as the sea, and the way to go is too far!
