Basic principles of early education
In fact, the problem of education is not complicated. As long as we understand three points, all educational problems can be solved. These three things are: educational opportunities, educational contents and educational methods. Although these three things seem simple, now, few people can think clearly. First of all, we should think about the timing of education, that is, when children will start education. A child should start his education from the day he begins to study. And a child has been exposed to the world since the day when he has long ears, and even has been influenced by the external environment since the day when cells begin to divide. At this time, the child has begun to learn. Therefore, education should be started from the fetus. Education doesn't start from a 3-year-old kindergarten or a 6-year-old primary school, but from the day the child is alive. Secondly, what is the content of education? Education can be roughly divided into three aspects. The first aspect is the education of common sense knowledge; The second aspect is thinking training; The third aspect is the education of humanistic quality. Common sense knowledge includes life common sense and natural/social common sense. Common sense of life can be gradually learned in life. If you want to know about natural/social knowledge in the future, you can always look it up in the encyclopedia. Therefore, when children are young, they can teach or not. In other words, you don't have to teach it deliberately. Thinking can be trained, but every psychologist knows that the human brain can't stop thinking at any time. In other words, thinking ability can be self-cultivated. As long as there is content in the brain, people can think positively. Therefore, it is better to cultivate children's thinking ability than to store important contents in their minds. Humanistic education includes language education, art education and moral education (EQ). These are the foundations of all life knowledge. The most important education for children aged 0- 13 is the education of humanistic quality. Even the most important education in a person's life is this part of education. However, many educational theories ignore this part of education. Finally, talk about educational methods. Common sense is taught. Thinking training takes the form of asking questions. Humanistic quality education needs to adopt special methods. Since common sense knowledge and logical thinking can be taught or not, the method of humanistic education is particularly important. Children aged 0- 13 are in the period of imitating memory, and their learning ability is to learn from the environment. Therefore, as long as the environment of humanistic education is created, children can learn it easily. Classical music is a world music classic, with the richest notes and the most beautiful melody. Classical painting is the most classic work of art in the world, with the richest colors and the most beautiful lines. These works of art should fill the living space of children and accompany their growth. Childhood is the best time to learn a language. No matter how many languages are around, children can learn them. So children don't have to wait until they grow up to learn a foreign language very hard. As long as there are various languages around, children can learn them easily. If you only speak children's language every day, it is not good for children's intellectual development. Therefore, many educators advise parents to talk to their children in the language of normal adults. But if we go further and expose our children to richer literary languages, they will be smarter. Classic works are literary works with the richest language and connotation. If you show children the recordings of classic works every day, or even let them follow these recordings, then children can have the deepest cultural soul.
