Traditional education is basically school classroom education, which can be called "education" in a narrow sense. Has been unable to keep up with the pace of society and the times.
Adapt. We must establish the concept of big education, so as to establish the corresponding big education system. Great education can be summarized as "four going out" at four levels:
First, get rid of perfusion. The teacher said that this kind of perfusion teaching is conducive to the accumulation of knowledge, which is of course necessary, but it is not conducive to the development of intelligence and creativity. There should be more lively teaching forms such as classroom discussion, speech and debate. The same composition topic "My Father", China Education was submitted by the class, forcing some children to make up temporarily; Schools in the United States allow children to submit their manuscripts within a week, and let them interview their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and even uncles, uncles, neighbors, and dad's colleagues, so that children can get to know their fathers better. As a result, a vivid and profound investigation report or documentary literature came out. Even in the classroom, we should get out of the old box of simple perfusion and be more inspired. A teacher told me that he taught physics not by the book, but by giving students a complete and dynamic picture of the material world and its evolution as comprehensively as possible. Doing so, the effect is very good, and the students are very welcome. But it was criticized by the headmaster. To give full play to teachers' creativity, how can a teacher without innovative spirit cultivate creative students?
Second, get out of the classroom. The biggest advantage of classroom education is that teachers systematically and intensively impart the fruits of human civilization knowledge to students; The biggest weakness of classroom education is that it cannot keep up with the ever-changing contemporary and future social progress in time. Obviously, the eyes of truth should look forward. Therefore, it is more important to increase elective courses, lectures and reports of all kinds of knowledge, and watch more scientific and educational movies, videos and extracurricular reading materials. It is also very important for children to learn the latest knowledge more flexibly and carry out various extracurricular activities, which can not only learn knowledge, but also cultivate children's learning ability and organizational ability. For example, let children organize various interest research groups, reading clubs, seminars, young pioneers, and independent and colorful youth league activities. These activities are more or less available in schools now, but they are weighed down by heavy classroom teaching, and the quality is not high, just as an ornament. Out of the classroom, we should not only take the activities outside the classroom education as an indispensable part of the big education, but also gradually occupy the main part.
Third, get out of school. Non-recreational cultural activities outside school should be included in the education system. A systematic visit to the history museum can help you learn more profound and vivid historical knowledge than in class. A systematic visit to natural museums and science and technology museums can help you learn more and richer scientific and technological knowledge than in class. Various art galleries, professional museums, celebrities' former residences, elegant concerts, exhibitions and libraries are all big classrooms for big education. Therefore, we must carry out activities in a planned way according to the goal of big education. In addition, going to factories, rural areas, military camps, social activities, military training and visits are also education. It is also education to read thousands of books, take a trip to Wan Li Road and visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The national education law should stipulate that the cultural knowledge content of the above-mentioned off-campus facilities should be strengthened, and sufficient investment and support should be given.
Fourth, get out of age. Education is not limited to age, and every moment of life is the starting point of education. Education should start from the first moment of life, and we should vigorously strengthen research and implement effective prenatal education and infant education. "Genius" can enter school in advance and skip classes again and again; On the contrary, at the age of 30 or 50, you can also go to college and study for a doctorate. Of course, it's never too old to learn.
