In this book, I deeply feel what a "teacher of the new era" should do. As a kindergarten teacher, this is exactly what I need, not a flashy long speech, but an example close to our educational life, which is a problem I encountered in my work. With such guidance, it is like having a bright light to illuminate the road ahead in the dark. It is mentioned in the book that "education should explore appropriate methods to guide children to learn naturally without knowing it." Although we are also studying the real teaching method, it is always one-sided and superficial. It is impossible to use theory completely, but it is really impossible without theory. Many teachers ask, is it enough to present teaching AIDS to children in a gentle and encouraging way? His school is not like this. In Montessori school, it is the environment itself that educates children. The teacher just let the children interact with the environment directly and demonstrate how to guide them to use props. If this learning method is only used in other teaching methods, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. We will only hear the teacher shout "Quiet" and "Don't move". Are these our teaching terms? How effective these imperative teaching can be.
Of course, we should believe that education should seek appropriate methods. I always complain that children are too difficult to discipline nowadays. In fact, we haven't found an educational method suitable for contemporary children. The success of Montessori teaching method lies in that it enables children to operate and learn spontaneously, and is affirmed by their earnest and diligent attitude in learning new skills. Obeying orders must be based on a complete personality. "Teachers who lack teaching experience will define the responsibility of education as" teaching ". In fact, this idea is quite different from the fact, because the responsibility of every teacher is far more important than this. Because teachers have the responsibility to guide children's spiritual development, we can't just understand them when observing children. The teacher's observation ultimately helps the child's presentation ability, which is the only purpose of observation. " I think it is not easy to be a teacher in the new era. First of all, I think teachers must know how to distinguish children's attention. "Interest is the best teacher" is absolutely correct. The second is to respect students. For teachers, the most important thing is that teachers should always pay attention to children and carefully arrange the learning environment. Love and insight are undoubtedly the magic weapon for teachers to win.
The chapter "Let children be their own masters" in this book also deeply touched me. The article says that children's activity process can be represented by a graph. Draw a parallel line on the paper to indicate that the child is resting. Above the parallel line, it means disciplined activities. The lower part of the parallel line represents random and irregular activities, and the direction of the curve represents the length of time. Children's Home did this experiment. When a child enters the classroom, he usually stays quiet for a while and then starts looking for something to do. Therefore, first draw a curve to represent regular activities. Then the children got tired of playing and the activities began to be a little chaotic. At this time, the curve will be drawn below the parallel lines until it falls on the irregular part of their activities. Then the child will change to a new activity, and the curve will rise to a place with regular activities again, and then fall below the parallel line when he doesn't want to play.
Therefore, if teachers can respect children's freedom in activities and have confidence in children; If the teacher can put aside what he has learned; If the teacher can be modest, don't take his guidance as a necessity; If teachers know how to wait patiently, they will surely see a brand-new change in children. Only when the teacher discovers the undiscovered potential in the child's mind can the child's restless mood be calmed down.
This reminds me of the children in the big class I am taking now. They are interested in independent games, but they often lose interest after a long time of enthusiasm. When they are no longer interested in their chosen activities, they will bicker with their peers or tease the peers sitting next to them, thinking about changing activities. When they lose interest in every activity, they will wander around or come to the teacher impatiently. Some children will be lonely and stop taking part in activities. In the past, I always let my child play other games as a commander or let him stick to it. But through studying this book, I know that if the teacher can observe and analyze the children carefully in the above way, instead of rushing to guide them and impose some rules on them, then the children will definitely find something suitable for his activities after a period of activities. Therefore, our teacher must try his best to make the child develop according to his nature and let the child grow sturdily.
The road to education is endless. Only by constantly enriching ourselves can we go further and make our education go further and better.
