Some concrete suggestions are put forward, and it is considered that it is best to use the method of "1+X" to distinguish between teaching and self-taught courses. Expand reading. Put forward to teach them to fish and teach students various useful reading methods; It is necessary to advocate "massive reading", encourage "rolling crawling" and cultivate reading interests and habits;
We should also let students read "leisure books", respect their "life in China" and incorporate extracurricular reading into the teaching plan; Reading status should be included in the assessment. However, it is not easy to realize "reading first", because there must be a premise that Chinese teachers should first like reading, regard reading as a benign lifestyle and become "reading seeds".
Many Chinese teachers also read books, but mainly read practical books related to professional needs, which belongs to "professional reading". Except for a few books for preparing lessons, I seldom read them all year round. Read some best-selling magazines at most, and spend most of the time "fragmented reading" on the Internet. The media on the mobile phone has a kind of "magic", which binds many teachers, and their little time after busy work is also occupied by public reading. As the ancients said, if our Chinese teachers don't read, they read a lot, and most of them are full of so-called jokes, cultural fast food, second-hand goods, chicken soup, or many revelations, jokes and secrets, how can that spirit be "flashy" and how can it be improved?
We can't expect all teachers to be "reading seeds" of "enjoying themselves", but at least a considerable number of Chinese teachers like reading and drive students to like reading, then our Chinese teaching will have hope.
Nowadays, the social mentality is impetuous, money worship is prevalent, and everyone is endlessly busy, so it is difficult to calm down and learn to do things. However, teaching Chinese requires a state of mind, and Chinese lessons are very humanistic, so it is particularly important for teachers to learn and cultivate and have a good personality. Teaching is not only the need of teaching, but also the need of teachers' spiritual growth. Therefore, no matter how busy you are, it is best to have your own spiritual home, even if it is a small "private territory". Don't rush to meet the real needs, ratings, teaching checks, endless things. Of course, we have to deal with all this, and no one can completely surpass it, but we must keep a clear head and a little distance so as not to be passively involved. I like reading books, have my own professional hobbies, can enter related fields, have some research and have some say, which is too important. In this state, you will feel a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, you can keep your mind active, which helps to resist occupational fatigue.
I mentioned in Reading Life in the Information Age, why are people generally anxious now? There are many different interpretations, such as cultural conflict, social transformation, marketization and polarization. But there are some deeper reasons for anxiety, that is, information overload.
How to solve the problem that too much information may lead to anxiety? Facing the phenomenon of information surplus, we should be conscious, let ourselves have a little information media literacy and know the laws of modern information dissemination. The information age has brought about some major changes in the way of reading (such as the way of communication channels). We should not only accept it, but also "see through" it instead of passively facing it and being trapped in it.
For network information, we should have a certain understanding of the communication characteristics of self-media including Weibo and WeChat. Try to choose relatively benign information channels and reduce the amount of information appropriately; For the overwhelming information, you should have some filtering analysis. To cultivate your own "determination", the "determination" mentioned here includes the ability to process and filter complex and excessive information, an attitude of seeking truth from facts and respecting the law, a constant vision and a normal heart. Specifically, read less WeChat and read more books.
There is a good way to make yourself as calm as possible in the irritable "climate", that is, spend more time studying in the traditional way and pick up paper books again. Reading can help you transcend the overly impetuous and messy information environment, and have determination and vision.
I also used a special word-"reading for sexual cultivation". Whether online reading or paper reading, in short, we should build a "own garden", develop the habit of reading and thinking, and regard reading as a way of life. Reading can cultivate temperament and train the brain, which is not only ability, but also cultivation, quality and an elegant lifestyle. Reading can broaden our horizons, get in touch with human wisdom, constantly improve our own quality, and make people surpass the ordinary environment in spiritual temperament.
"Reading for nourishment" and the actual purpose of reading are not contradictory. It is necessary, reasonable and practical to study for exams and make a living, but we should also set a higher "training" goal, so that this goal integrates the actual goals of exams and job hunting.
"Reading and nourishing" is actually a "big pattern", which can also be seen from the perspective of cultivating outlook on life and world. The outlook on life and world determines people's basic views on the whole meaning of life and world value, including the meaning of life, truth, goodness and beauty, the essence of life and death, man and nature, humanity and sociality, the norms of social justice, the bottom line of ethics and so on. These questions are original, and some of them are full of philosophical meaning and belong to the ultimate concern.
The discussion and exploration of these primitive problems will also lead to the establishment of outlook on life and world outlook, which may fundamentally determine people's lifelong pursuit and determine people's thinking and behavior patterns. The cultivation of this outlook on life and world outlook is even more important than the acquisition of knowledge. Reading, especially in the impetuous information age, is very important for establishing a sound outlook on life and world. These suggestions are not only for students, but also for teachers. I also mentioned some suggestions on how to study in that article, and I think primary and secondary school teachers can also refer to them. The first thing is to make a reading plan and a book list.
Reading can never grasp what is what. Online reading is generally easy to be unplanned and follow the trend. If you want to "charge", you should not only have a certain plan, but also pay attention to classics, and choose more works that are suitable for "reading" and enlighten your mind, instead of adopting the attitude of reading online, just following the trend or reading completely by temper.
I suggest that every teacher should have his own book list and set which books to read in a few years. There must be a plan and overall consideration, so that reading can be systematic. It is feasible to consider the arrangement of time in the book list. Generally speaking, it can include three parts, which are three circles that can be nested together and staggered with each other. The outermost "circle" is the part of general education. These books should be the most basic, and people who have gone to college and received a good education should have read them. Mainly Chinese and foreign cultural classics, is the most basic book. The purpose of reading is to contact Chinese and foreign cultural classics and feel the crystallization of human wisdom. This is part of a big reading circle outside, not necessarily very big. For example, it would be nice to read more than a dozen famous Chinese and foreign books in three or four years.
The second "circle" is the part related to your major or occupation. For example, if you study physics, you can arrange for yourself to read some books on chemistry, mathematics, biology and information science, as well as books on adjacent disciplines related to physics, and you can also read books on the history of science and technology, philosophy of science and technology and pedagogy. Students of liberal arts should also read some books on science. Chinese teachers should read more widely than other subjects. The purpose of doing this is to lay a foundation, expand professional horizons, learn from others and activate thinking.
The third "circle" is the core. This part of the bibliography is mainly aimed at their own majors, or the majors they are particularly interested in and want to study. People who have the right to speak should have a clear direction. On the other hand, the core part is professional and professional needs. Of course, it is best not to sell books now, but to have a subject or field that keeps you interested.
Of course, in addition to these three parts of the bibliography, there can be some entertaining and recreational books, but they should not be the main body and do not need too strong planning. There is no need to set up a special "circle", just look around and adjust it.
The above suggestions for teachers to set up three circles of their own books should be understood as three parts, which can be staggered from each other. In short, there must be some systems and plans to urge yourself to finish reading some basic books in a certain period of time. Don't set too many books, mainly basic books and classic books. Nowadays, the society is impetuous, except for graduate students, it is difficult for college students to study with peace of mind. After four years in college, there may be few complete books, most of which are scrawled in order to cope with the exam. Now that I am a teacher, I should reread the basic books that I should have read in college but didn't read well. I think this is more useful than many trainings.
To encourage and require Chinese teachers to be "reading seeds", there must be some policy guarantees and concrete and feasible measures. Let me make some suggestions. First, the education authorities, as well as school principals, must attach importance to this matter and give schools, teaching and research groups and teachers room to study. Don't take care of everything, don't interfere too much, and don't engage in endless appraisal and inspection. It can be stipulated to arrange necessary reading time for teachers, and support and encourage schools to carry out teachers' reading activities.
Second, teachers in China, especially young teachers, are encouraged to make their own reading and further education plans, including books lists suitable for them, respect teachers' reading autonomy, and ensure the feasibility of reading plans.
The third is to update the way and content of teacher training. All kinds of teacher training focus on stimulating reading interest and guiding reading thinking. Measures should be taken to encourage and support the establishment of reading training groups and create a good reading atmosphere.
Fourthly, higher normal education should adjust and improve the curriculum system, and have practical requirements in reading, especially basic books, so as to change the pale situation that Chinese teachers do not read, read less and lack "literary spirit" from the source.
There are too many schools, too many experiences and too many reforms in the field of education in China. The teacher is confused, tired and anxious. Now they need to be quiet and study. This is more practical and important than any reform model. Don't sit and talk, don't argue endlessly, I hope everyone can turn some good ideas into practical measures, improve inch by inch, and gradually make more Chinese teachers become "reading seeds", fundamentally improve the level of Chinese teaching, and may even help to change the poor situation that people don't read and study less.
