Modern education, it is not easy to say I love you! What society, schools and families lack most now is humanistic education. It seems that this era is only driven by economic interests, which makes people have no time to take care of the improvement of humanistic spirit brought by education in the fast pace. What people see is only the consumption of money and material, and it is difficult to appreciate the development charm of humanities.
Then, what is the current education situation, where are the misunderstandings in education, how to adjust it, what should be dedicated to children, and how to provide suitable education for every student? Let me talk about my personal opinion and discuss it with you.
First, the status quo of education
At present, education in China pays too much attention to theoretical knowledge, and seldom cultivates students' practical ability, especially before university. Moreover, education in China is not humanized enough. All students have to learn a lot of subjects, only pay attention to exam results, not to practical applications, and it is easy to bury talents.
The present situation of education is that exam-oriented education is impacting quality education. Quality education is still the theme of education conference.
No, just shout. You didn't even enter the classroom! If it weren't for the influence of exam-oriented education, how could there be the phenomenon of "green scarf", "IQ test" and "red, yellow and green exercise books" and the evaluation of educators, not only how many college students he has educated, but more importantly, whether the comprehensive quality of his students has followed suit. For example, a primary school head teacher, from one year to six years, should not only look at the performance of the head teacher in each exam, but also look at what kind of people he has trained in these six years, whether he can only learn, know nothing else, or be completely sensible and so on. For example, I can do housework, understand filial piety, take responsibility and obligation, and so on.
Because for many students, the senior high school entrance examination is their only way out, so many parents only pay attention to their children's learning, rather than cultivating their comprehensive quality. In the final analysis, it is still a problem of the education system. As a result, many students cannot do housework and live independently. What's more, a person can't even make instant noodles at home ... and because they pay attention to exams, many parents and schools don't pay attention to moral education, mainly because they don't pay attention to educating students' moral thoughts in details, which leads to the low quality of some students. Some students look at good grades, and their words, deeds and achievements in society are great in Gao Fancha.
Second, how to change the status quo.
1, correctly understand the meaning of education
Judging from our current education situation, the voice against the exam is getting louder and louder. I think this is self-deception. As far as the current social form is concerned, it is impossible to cancel the college entrance examination, and the examination is what students must finally face. Canceling the exam can only leave the difficulties for tomorrow, which is an evasive behavior. In my opinion, we educators and our parents should understand the exam from a height, pay attention to cultivating students' imagination, creativity, operational ability and practical ability, and completely abandon the traditional mode of partiality, difficulty, complexity and emphasis.
We should take exams, but we should also pay attention to quality education. We should teach students how to make a tree, how to give it soil, sunshine and rain, and how to understand this process with gratitude and reflection.
We should also fully grasp the basic spirit of China's educational policy in the new period, which can be summarized as: education serves socialist modernization, education serves the people, and modern citizens with harmonious development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty are cultivated, with a sense of social responsibility, creative personality and practical character.
Education should adhere to the guiding ideology of educating people and putting moral education first, effectively improve students' political and ideological quality, cultivate students' good conduct and morality, encourage students' all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, continuously improve their comprehensive quality, and cultivate more and better innovative talents with high quality and high skills.
China has a saying: It takes ten years to plant trees, but it takes a hundred years to cultivate people. It reveals the fundamental value of education, that is, to provide the country with talents with lofty beliefs, noble morality, honesty and law-abiding, exquisite skills and extensive knowledge, to create scientific knowledge and material wealth for the country, family and society, and to promote economic growth, national prosperity, world peace and human development.
2. Improve the education mechanism.
As an education department, the main responsibility is to ensure the implementation of compulsory education, and the focus of work should be on ensuring teachers' salaries, selecting school leaders, supervising school management, stopping arbitrary charges in education, and strictly controlling teachers' access. Because this is the foundation and difficulty of education. When these points are done, other problems will be solved. At present, there are more or less forms and formality in these aspects. As far as the balance of our current educational resources is concerned, the focus should be on how to strengthen the construction of weak schools, so that backward rural schools can catch up with schools with high level of urban development, rural areas and cities, and the same areas in the central and western regions and advanced regions, instead of deliberately hindering their development in exchange for the so-called balance.
Wang Shanmai, a member of the National Education Advisory Committee and a professor at Beijing Normal University, put forward in the article "Perfecting the education investment mechanism and improving the level of education security": it is necessary to formulate the basic standards for running schools at all levels and types, and on this basis, determine the basic standards for per capita funding and per capita financial allocation for schools at all levels and types; Continue to transform government functions, optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, and increase the proportion of fiscal expenditure used for education; Efforts should be made to increase the investment of non-financial society in education. Social education investment is an important part of national education investment and has growth potential. The "Outline" proposes to encourage the development of private education and social and individual investment in education by improving preferential policies such as finance, taxation, finance and land. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of education funds; From the perspective of fiscal development and reform, increasing fiscal expenditure on education depends on gradually increasing the proportion of fiscal revenue to GDP on the basis of sustained and stable economic growth.
It seems that in order to improve the education investment mechanism and improve the level of education security, it is necessary to urge the county and district governments to scientifically formulate the local preschool education construction plan according to the special plan of the city's preschool education facilities, and earnestly implement it. We should also give play to the leading role of the government and expand educational resources.
In addition, we should attach importance to the cultivation of teachers, strive to build a high-quality team of teachers, and cultivate senior talents to adapt to socialist modernization. Cultivating talents with pioneering and innovative spirit requires teachers to have reform consciousness and enterprising spirit. In order to achieve this goal, we must build a team of teachers who are politically firm and professionally competent, that is, strengthen teachers' political quality, improve their professional knowledge, humanistic quality and professional ability, strengthen daily management, do a good job in legal construction, and strengthen standardized law enforcement teaching.
3. Change the assessment system for teachers and students, and assess the comprehensive results.
In 2003, China began to comprehensively promote the new curriculum teaching reform of compulsory education, and a series of changes have taken place from teaching materials to teaching methods, from the role orientation of teachers to the role orientation of students. Judging from the current implementation, the changes in teacher-student relationship and teaching mode caused by it are concrete, real and emotional. So what standards should we use to measure teachers' academic qualifications? Then, we should change the assessment system for teachers and students, and assess the comprehensive results; Change the existing teacher-student evaluation mechanism and use the incentive mechanism flexibly.
We should know that educational evaluation, as an important part in the process of educational activities, plays the functions of regulation, guidance and decision-making. In order to strengthen the construction of teachers' team, school spirit and study style, further improve the incentive and competition mechanism, improve the level of education management, encourage teachers to continuously strengthen their study, continuously improve their professional level and teaching and scientific research level, fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of teachers' work, and give full play to the guiding and encouraging role of assessment. It is necessary to promote the reform of education and teaching, improve the quality of education and teaching in an all-round way, and formulate an assessment system that meets the needs of teachers in light of the actual situation. For example, two assessment items, education and teaching, teaching and research achievements and democratic appraisal, involve teachers' political thoughts, law-abiding, class teacher's work and teaching and educating people, teaching and research work, professionalism, discipline, attendance, parents' appraisal, students' appraisal and colleagues' appraisal. , and should be based on perfect comprehensive evaluation.
Education without institutional constraints is incomplete education. The growth of students needs necessary institutional constraints. The school gradually formulates and improves the rules of students' study, practice and life to ensure the institutionalization and standardization of student management. It is advocated that the management evaluation of students should not only pay attention to the examination results, but also implement dynamic management that pays attention to the process and comprehensive quality. The evaluation of students' comprehensive quality should be carried out from the aspects of political and ideological performance, law and discipline and collective concept, moral cultivation, labor concept and social practice, learning attitude and enterprising spirit (usually class discipline, attendance rate, homework completion, recess discipline, off-campus discipline, hygiene, courtesy and violation of discipline).
4, change the concept of education, don't shout slogans, but put moral education before intellectual education with practical actions.
Liang Qichao once said that "education is indispensable, moral education, intellectual education and physical education". 1957 In February, Mao Zedong delivered a speech on "Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People" at the enlarged meeting in the State Council, and pointed out conspicuously: "Our educational policy should enable the educated to develop morally, intellectually and physically, and become educated laborers with socialist consciousness." Only students who are excellent in moral, intellectual and physical aspects can get "three good students"
The Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020) also puts forward that "care for every student, promote every student's active and vivid development, respect the law of education and the law of students' physical and mental development, and provide every student with a suitable education".
It is understandable that parents attach importance to their children's knowledge education and intellectual education. As parents, who doesn't want their children to have more knowledge and who doesn't want their children to be smart. However, many parents neglect moral education and personality education for their children.
At present, our family's politeness education for children is very poor. Children talk to their elders, even contradict their parents, and lack proper manners in dealing with people. We can never cultivate children with high intelligence but low moral level; We can't cultivate children with good academic performance but abnormal personality development.
The 265,438+0th century is the era of knowledge economy, which requires Qian Qian to train thousands of workers who are highly innovative, highly creative, rich in scientific knowledge, and have strong self-learning ability. At the same time, they need to be responsible for society and highly adapt to social development. Those who only have Nuo Nuo in personality, shrink from difficulties, have poor psychological endurance and have great mood swings, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the requirements of social development in 2 1 century.
Knowledge economy puts forward higher requirements for people's moral quality, and knowledge economy is definitely not a requirement to reduce people's moral quality. Knowledge-based economy requires workers' behavior to conform to the progress of human society, the moral norms and living standards of human society. Get out of the misunderstanding that family education pays more attention to intellectual education than moral education, and cultivate children to become people with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.
Moral education is an important part of school education and teaching, and also an indispensable part of teachers' education and teaching activities. It is very important for students to form a healthy personality and good ideology and morality. As a teacher, teachers should not only have noble moral quality, but also exert a positive influence on students from time to time in their words and deeds, and also infiltrate moral education in their teaching activities. There are many ways and methods to infiltrate moral education in teaching, such as infiltration in homework training, infiltration in creating scenes, infiltration in visiting activities, etc. This requires teachers to discover and seize all available opportunities in time to inspire and guide students and promote them to form good moral quality and correct outlook on life.
I think education should combine the four words of learning, thinking, knowing and doing, and put forward the requirements of teaching, that is to say, it is necessary to achieve the connection between learning and thinking and the unity of knowing and doing, so that students can not only learn knowledge, but also learn to practice, use their brains, do things, think, survive and be a person.
In short, teaching and educating people at the same time, moral education and intellectual education are the eternal goals of every teacher and the eternal theme in the exploration of education and teaching. Therefore, infiltrating moral education into teaching activities should attract enough attention and active participation of every educator.
To sum up, we should understand that education should meet the people-oriented requirements. Schools should adhere to the "people-oriented" school philosophy, take "relying on people and serving people" as the basic starting point, respect students, care for students and serve them, discover and cultivate their interests and specialties, and shape their loving and harmonious hearts. Mr. Ji Xianlin once said, "Harmony should also talk about people's self-harmony. Only by making people's understanding of themselves conform to the objective reality, adapt to the requirements of society, treat money and fame correctly, treat advance and retreat correctly, and treat honor and disgrace correctly can harmony be achieved. " We often say that education should face the future, the world and modernization. In the final analysis, it is to keep pace with the times and run a modern education with China characteristics, China style and China style. This requires us to look at the world, firmly grasp the trend of social development and scientific and technological progress, and learn from the outstanding achievements of human civilization. At the same time, we should have a deep understanding of China, promote education reform, optimize teaching structure, update teaching content and improve teaching methods in combination with the actual situation and national conditions of China.
