Good attitude
First, the connotation of harmonious education
We can understand the connotation of harmonious education from three levels.
From a macro perspective, harmonious education should refer to the harmony of regional education development and the harmony of urban and rural education development. The reality of China's education development is that the education in the eastern coastal areas is relatively developed, while the education in the western areas is relatively backward; Education in cities is relatively developed, while education in rural areas is relatively backward. The gap and imbalance of these educations are not only reflected in the educational investment and running conditions, but also in the scale of educational development, as well as the quality level of teachers and education quality. How to speed up the development of education in the western region and rural areas and narrow the gap with developed regions and cities is the primary task for us to build a harmonious education.
From the middle level, the construction of harmonious education means trying to narrow the gap between high-quality schools and weak schools in the city and realize the harmony of inter-school development; According to the specific situation, all localities provide appropriate space for the development of private education and realize the harmony between private schools and public schools; While attaching importance to the development of higher education, the state should also increase investment in basic education, attach importance to the construction and development of basic education, and realize the harmony between basic education and higher education development; The state should also pay more attention to vocational education, increase investment in vocational education, accelerate the development of vocational education, and realize the harmony between vocational education and general education.
From the micro level, the harmonious education we want to build is an education for all students, and we should pay attention to the harmonious development of each student. To this end, it is necessary not only to appropriately reduce the class size, so that teachers can understand the characteristics and needs of each student, so that students at both ends of the development level can be specially trained by teachers; We should also pay attention to the healthy and sustainable development of each student's body and mind. Overcome the educational problems such as only paying attention to selecting and training some promising students for further study and only paying attention to the cultivation of students' exam-oriented quality. One of the goals of harmonious education is to let every student get the most suitable growth opportunities and achieve the best development results.
Second, the value orientation of harmonious education construction
What kind of harmonious education to build and how to build it will inevitably involve the value orientation of harmonious education construction, that is, whether the construction of harmonious education is based on social needs or individual needs. The relationship among society, education and people is the basic problem of education. Education is the process of people's socialization, and it is the process of turning personal needs into social needs. Education always realizes the social value of education by cultivating people. Therefore, the harmonious education we want to build is not based on education itself, nor is it only based on people themselves. It must be based on whether it meets the needs of social development and human development. The harmonious education we build must be able to help the society realize fairness and justice and promote the harmonious development of the society; We must be able to cultivate people with all-round and harmonious development. The unity of the needs of social harmonious development and people's own harmonious development is bound to be the intrinsic value demand of building a harmonious education.
From the social orientation of harmonious education construction, it is the common pursuit of mankind for thousands of years to realize social harmony and pursue a better life. In ancient times, China had the ideal of a harmonious society, and the West had conceived beautiful societies such as Utopia and Sun City. The social ideal put forward by Marx and Engels is the highest goal for human beings to pursue a better future. The goal of building a harmonious society that we put forward today is actually an important step and stage to realize the ideal of socialist society advocated by Marx and Engels. From this point of view, the harmonious education we want to build should be an important position to build a harmonious society and a powerful means to realize social ideals in the future.
From the individual orientation of harmonious education construction, education is always a social practice activity to cultivate people and the most effective tool to help individuals realize socialization. Social relations determine education, and education is the most fundamental means by which social relations affect people. The purpose of our education is to cultivate people with harmonious development at all levels for the society, and at the same time meet the needs of each individual's own harmonious development and meet everyone's diversified personality development needs and interest needs. Cultivating people with all-round and harmonious development is also an important value orientation of building harmonious education. The task of harmonious education is to make our educational practice truly adhere to the guidance of educational policy, truly implement quality education and truly cultivate harmonious people.
Thirdly, the way to realize harmonious education.
Building a harmonious education is the common task of the whole society. First of all, the government and society should provide various safeguard measures for the construction of harmonious education, such as increasing investment in education, supporting the development of education in the western region and rural areas, supporting the development of vocational and technical education, improving the quality and treatment of teachers in an all-round way, and helping schools at all levels to improve their consciousness and execution ability of fully implementing the educational policy. Education itself should consciously adjust its own development scale and speed according to the needs of social development, and adjust the unreasonable educational structure such as general education and vocational education.
Secondly, the school should pay attention to the harmony of interpersonal relationship, curriculum setting and training objectives. School interpersonal harmony mainly refers to the interpersonal harmony between school administrators and teachers. Education is the cause of cultivating people, and creating a good and harmonious interpersonal environment is an important condition for the success of education. Curriculum is the blueprint for cultivating people. In order to ensure the all-round and harmonious development of the training objectives, the curriculum of cultivating morality, intelligence and physical education should be harmonious. Basic courses, applied courses and technical courses in some colleges and universities should also be harmonious. The harmonious development of training objectives mainly means that our education should pay attention to the all-round and harmonious development of students' body and mind in the cultivation of people. Our school should start with cultivating citizens with all-round and harmonious development in morality, intelligence and physique, and reform all problems and aspects that are not conducive to the cultivation of people.
Finally, school education cannot bear the full responsibility of students' growth alone, and environmental factors such as family and society have a subtle influence on students' development. In a sense, it is the adult society that constructs a complex social environment, which inevitably affects and shapes the students in this society. Therefore, the scope of harmonious education can not be limited to classroom teaching or campus life, but must be extended to a broader field under the background of students' growth. There are complex interactions among school, family, society and other environmental factors, thus forming a complete ecosystem. Harmonious education should consider the growth of students from the perspective of ecological system theory and devote itself to optimizing various factors in the above-mentioned ecological system. For example, raising the level of parenting, improving the community education environment, guiding and standardizing the media content, developing and utilizing cultural facilities, and establishing a good social atmosphere. One of the goals of harmonious education is to create a harmonious background suitable for the healthy growth of students and make them grow into harmonious people.
