There is a test. Choose one of the following three candidates that can benefit mankind. Who would you choose? The first one, Thaksin, a witch doctor and Zhan, has a mistress, has many years of smoking history and is addicted to alcohol. The second one was kicked out of the office twice and refused to get up every day until noon. He used to take drugs when he was in college and drank a lot of brandy every night. The third, a former national war hero, kept vegetarian habits, did not smoke or drink, and did nothing illegal when he was young. Most people will choose the third option without hesitation, but this is wrong. According to historical records, the first one was franklin roosevelt, the second one was Churchill, and the third one was Hitler. This can't help but cause people to think. I didn't expect great men like Roosevelt and Churchill to have such shortcomings; And Hitler, the murderer, has so many bright spots. From this, we think of children. If we believe that every child is a successful person in the future, such as Roosevelt and Churchill later, their so-called shortcomings are not as good as Luo Qiu earlier. Therefore, the child's momentary mistake does not mean anything. We should increase our trust and expectation for children. The whole secret of educating children lies in trusting them.
The second story of education: Education begins with respect.
A woman who came back from Germany told a personal experience, which is quite enlightening for us to educate our children. One Sunday, she took her five-year-old son to the park to play. The son surprised his mother by trading a "paper plane" for an electric "car" of a German child. Because that paper plane is only worth 5 cents at best, and this car is worth at least 20 yuan. At first, she thought her son was lying. When she found the owner and the mother of a German child, the German mother said, "The car belongs to the child and it is up to the child." She also said, "If your son likes it, he can have this car. In the future, I will take my child to a toy store and let him know how much this car is worth and how many paper planes he can buy, so that he won't do such stupid things again. "
Respect children's choices, don't interfere, don't stop, and don't simply criticize children's practices, but take effective measures to educate children in time. This respect for children is lacking in our education. Respecting children's right to choose does not guarantee that every choice of children is correct, but they are still young! In this process, the child will certainly fall down several times and take detours, but the child's choice ability is improved through repeated attempts. Let's be less blind and rude in education, more rational and scientific, and make love more profound and artistic.
The third story of education gives education more choices and wisdom.
When dealing with four "scamps" who like to catch shrimp after school, the famous special-grade teacher used the following methods: Teacher Yuan knew in advance where they caught shrimp and found that "shallow stream" was not dangerous. So when the four "scamps" stood in the office with their heads down waiting to be criticized, Mr. Yuan just smiled and said to them, "You like shrimp, that's good! Aren't the great scientists Darwin and Fabres fans of insects since childhood? Can any of you tell me where shrimp likes to rest? How did you get it? What is the best way to catch shrimp? What is the shrimp like? What color is it? What's on its head? How many feet are there? Tail ... "The rogues are blindsided and just hold on tight. Who will pay attention to what it looks like? Seeing that the children were all blindsided, Mr. Yuan patted them on the shoulder and said, "I wanted you to introduce them to the whole class tomorrow, but you ... well, when you catch them again, look carefully and think about it, and then come back and tell me, okay?" The children looked at each other and ran away.
The children are busy catching shrimp when they come home from school. If it falls into our hands, it may infect their parents! On the left, "undisciplined" and on the right, "not paying attention to safety" generally make children cry! Because all we care about and think about is the nature of "not going home to catch shrimp after school", as for the danger of children catching shrimp, we seldom care about whether bad things can become good things. At this point, Mr. Yuan got his wish. He guided children to observe, think and explore through their special "complex" with prawns, and taught them how to play more meaningfully. Education is like this. Sometimes, as long as we know more and think more, we may have more choices and wisdom.
The fourth educational story: the collision of two kinds of thinking
One day, a rich father took his son on a trip from the city to the countryside to show him how the poor live. They spent a day and a night in the poorest family on the farm. After the trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "Great!" "You should know what the poor are like this time?" The son replied, "Yes, I know". "Can you describe the difference between the rich and the poor?" The son thought for a moment and said, "There is only one dog in our family, and there are four dogs in their family;" Our family only has a pool leading to the center of the flower bed, but they have an endless river; At night, we can only see a few lights in our garden, but there are thousands of stars in their garden. Moreover, our yard can only park a few cars, but their yard can raise hundreds of cows. " When the son finished speaking, the father was speechless. Then the son said, "when I grow up, I want to live as rich as them." "The wealth in children's hearts is different from that in adults' hearts, just as the happiness in children's hearts is different from that in adults' hearts.
Today, if we really want to enter the new curriculum, teachers must go into students' hearts and grasp their way of thinking. Know that students' understanding and imagination are different from those of teachers, and understand students' inner world. Only by studying students' existing experience, cognitive ability and psychological characteristics, and understanding students' thinking, can students walk into teachers with textbooks, the collision of two kinds of thinking in classroom teaching can be like "water" and "tide", and the dialogue between hearts can hit the waves of life. Grow up happily, healthily and harmoniously in the classroom where life is full of relaxation and vitality.
Five potentials of educational stories
Legend has it that northern Scotland and sudden ancient castles are often haunted. A man didn't go home until midnight because of business, and he had to pass by suddenly. Suddenly, there was a creepy howl from time to time in the room. Bat ghosts fly around silently, and dead branches stretch out into the dark sky like ghost claws. Walking, he accidentally fell into a newly dug grave. The pit is too deep and too big. He is too big to climb out after several attempts. He just sat there until dawn. At this moment, another person passed by and fell down carelessly. The man couldn't climb out with all his strength. The person who fell first really couldn't stand it and said, "Don't bother, you can't climb out." The man suddenly heard a voice and thought he had met a ghost. He was terrified out of his wits and used his hands and feet. He didn't expect to get up after three or two times, and then ran away screaming.
Everyone's potential is unfathomable, and we have no reason to jump to conclusions about anyone-"You are a mediocrity, you are a genius". Who knows when a person's potential will explode? It is worth thinking that in ordinary life, "mediocre" people rarely burst out their potential, so they look mediocre, while "smart" people will let their potential flow like a mountain spring, so they are extraordinary. In fact, we can all do extraordinary things, because our potential, like buried oil, has never been developed. As teachers, we should become the digger and motivator of this "potential", so that every student's potential can be fully exerted, and every teacher can do this, that is, the success of the whole education.
You can't give me wings
In the world of moths, there is a kind of moth called "king moth". The larval stage of the queen moth is spent in a cocoon with a very narrow hole. When his life is about to take a qualitative leap, the narrow passage set on this day will undoubtedly become a gate of hell for him. Its delicate body must do its best to break out of the cocoon. Too many larvae died of fatigue when they rushed out to kill, which unfortunately became the tragic sacrifice of the word "fly". Some people are full of compassion and compassion, trying to make the life channel of larvae wider. They brought scissors to cut the hole in the cocoon. In this way, the larvae in the cocoon can be easily released without much effort. However, all the hungry people who have been rescued and seen the light of day are not really "king moths"-they can't fly anyway, but they can only fly clumsily on the ground with their heavy wings that have lost their flying function! It turns out that a cocoon hole as narrow as "the gate of hell" is the key to help the queen moth grow its wings. At the moment of crossing, squeeze hard, and blood can be smoothly sent to the tissue of moth wings. Only when the wings are bloodshot can the queen moth fly with her wings. When the cocoon hole is artificially cut, the moth's wings will lose the chance of congestion, and the queen bee born will never fly again.
Teenagers nowadays need this kind of training. They are afraid of dark tunnels and are always eager for a helping hand to escort them all the way. Parents nowadays are mostly "concerned" parents. They are always afraid that their children will suffer hardships, so they make their children's "life channel" particularly worry-free and let them grow up "freely and happily". Nowadays, teachers are also full of "compassion". They are afraid that students can't make "standard answers" and that their answers are too far from their own requirements, so they read word for word! If this continues, how many "queen moths" will be able to spread their wings and fly in the future society? Mencius said, "If heaven wants to be the great task of Sri Lankan people, it is necessary to first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skin, and do their best ..." Nowadays, it is nothing for teenagers to suffer a little. "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" Parents and teachers must think about their children's future, give them opportunities and space to exercise, let them occupy a place in the future society by virtue of their own abilities, and let them hold up the splendid sunrise of China in the future with strong arms.
The Educational Story of Qitiao Fish
This is a very small fish, very thin and lonely.
It can't catch when the owner feeds it. It can only eat the leftovers of other fish at most. Usually it often wanders outside the fish alone, and it seems that anyone can bully it. Fortunately, one day the owner finally found it pitiful, and then he scattered some bait around it when feeding. I don't want these trivial actions to change the fate of small fish and create miracles. Because the clever fish gradually found that as long as they were around the small fish, they could get food. So a week later, a spectacular scene appeared: an inconspicuous small fish, leading a large group of fish to swim around in the water. This little fish turned out to be a "head fish". From then on, it no longer wandered around the pool and corner with an expression of inferiority, but shook its head and wagged its tail, swaggering as the "leading fish" and suddenly began to command the whole school of fish.
A master is not an educator. He can use this method to train any fish into a "head fish" and a "commander in chief". By the same token, if we pay more attention to students, even if they are "poor students", they are likely to get out of trouble and embarrassment. Whether we can create a greater miracle lies in the children themselves and our concern.
The eighth educational story: the power of habit
There are two brothers, one is surprisingly optimistic and the other is very pessimistic. Their parents want to change their personalities, so they lock optimistic children in a room full of horse manure and pessimistic children in a room full of beautiful toys. An hour later, when they opened the door of the pessimistic child's house, they found him sitting in a corner, crying sadly. It turned out that he was afraid of accidentally breaking the toy and being scolded by his parents.
When they opened the room full of horse manure, they found that the optimistic child was excitedly digging horse manure with a small shovel and constantly shoveling off the horse manure scattered at the door. Seeing the parents come in, the optimistic child shouted like a miracle: "Dad, look! There is so much horse manure here, there must be a beautiful pony nearby. I'll clean it up! " This optimistic child is the later American President Ronald Reagan. He went from newsboy to Hollywood star, to governor, and finally to president. Optimism has always accompanied him.
The research of the famous psychologist Venadi shows that people's stable feelings and attitudes towards external things are mostly determined by their habitual emotional attribution patterns since childhood. Habit is a tenacious and great force in people's psychology. Bacon believes that "all nature and promises are not as powerful as habits". Students' habits are repeated many times intentionally or unintentionally, and many beneficial good habits are often more difficult to form than bad habits. Our teacher should pay attention to cultivating students' good habits, because forming good habits will benefit people for life.
The ninth educational story? Sentence-making and "Creating Man"
This is a speech practice class for the first grade of primary school. Practice speaking and making sentences with the word "yes". "Animals are friends of human beings." Dad is a teacher. "Elephants are the largest animals on land." ..... The children expressed their opinions in succession. Just then, a child named Tamia Liu stood up. He is a notorious troublemaker, and all the girls in the class ran away when they saw him. "I'm fine …" I could hear that he wanted to say "I'm a good boy", but before he finished, the students burst into laughter. Many students are whispering: "Hum, can he be a good boy, too?" "He has the cheek to say!" ..... Looking at Tamia Liu's embarrassment, Teacher Zhang motioned him to sit down. But Tamia Liu stood there unwilling to sit down. Therefore, Teacher Zhang encouraged him to think of a more "appropriate" sentence. Sure enough, Tamia Liu said, "I am a bad boy ..." Just as everyone was waiting for him to say that he was a "bad boy", he suddenly stopped and blushed. Obviously, he is unwilling to admit that he is a "bad boy". At this point, Teacher Zhang tenderly encouraged him to come again. Little Tamia Liu got motivation from the teacher's eyes, and a loud voice from the heart said, "I am not a bad boy!" " "At this time, teacher Zhang couldn't help but take the lead in clapping. Tamia Liu's eyes were full of tears. After class, Teacher Zhang called little Tamia Liu to the office to talk with him. Before Teacher Zhang could speak, Tamia Liu volunteered, "Teacher, I will be a good boy in the future. "
We can imagine the development and changes after George W. Tamia Liu. The most important thing for people is self-esteem, which is the respect and trust of others. Even underachievers value their position in the eyes of others. To cultivate students' independent and complete personality, the first thing is to create an equal, friendly and peaceful living environment. Here, the sentence-making process of Tamia Liu Jr.' s "flexible" use of the word "yes" is essentially a process of self-realization and gradual improvement. In the negation of negation, he affirmed himself, which showed both his courage and his alertness. Teacher Zhang has a unique vision. Through enthusiastic encouragement and kind guidance, Tamia Liu Jr. finally changed from a "bad boy" to a good boy.
An ordinary sentence, translated into extraordinary "making people", is a teacher's love, an art of educating people, and it is applause.
The tenth educational story: the heaven of God's charity
I once saw a children's painting: a fish tank with six beautiful goldfish with big tails swimming in it; Around the fish tank, there are six kittens with bright eyes. I think: six is better than six, and it saves fighting. But look at the crooked inscription on the bottom of that children's painting, which is actually: too beautiful to eat! I can't help but feel ashamed of my spiritual vulgarity. One day during the break, a naughty but clever boy came up to me and looked up curiously and asked, "Teacher, will the sun give birth to children?" People will have children, cats and dogs will have children, so will the sun have children? "I was speechless and wanted to prevaricate at random. On second thought, I couldn't help thinking, so I said to him, "Will the teacher answer you tomorrow? "The next day, in the style class, I gave them a special lesson to introduce Sun. After class, I asked the child, "Have you solved the mystery in your heart?" He nodded knowingly at me. Walking in the bustling street, a child sitting in the back seat of his mother's bicycle suddenly pointed to a huge billboard and shouted, "Who's looking for you!" " The child couldn't get his mother's response, so he dragged his mother's clothes and continued to point to the billboard and said, "Look, mom, who is looking for you!" " The mother seemed to understand something and jerked back to cover the child's mouth. It turns out that the so-called "who wants to see you" by children is a misunderstanding of "Youngor". Actually, mother really doesn't have to. The child didn't mean to embarrass you. Although he didn't pronounce a word correctly, isn't his enthusiasm and courage to read three and a half words aloud valuable?
In this material world, our spirit sometimes feels in a trance. We watched our innocence and enthusiasm, sensitivity and sympathy being eroded and weathered a little. Today, "precocity" has become a global epidemic, let us carefully guard the precious childlike innocence and childlike interest, and let us know that this childlike innocence and childlike interest is God's last gift to mankind and a beautiful paradise given to us by God through children.
The eleventh educational story cannot have an "answer"
The famous German figure Gauss once dozed off in math class when he was in middle school. When the bell rang, he woke up, looked up and found a math problem on the blackboard, thinking it was the homework of the day, and quickly copied it into his exercise book. After returning home, he immersed himself in calculus and couldn't figure it out, but he was not discouraged, uncompromising and persevering, and finally got the answer. He brought the answer to class, and the teacher was dumbfounded with surprise. It turned out to be a math problem that has always been considered "unsolvable". This is a true story, but also an intriguing story, from which we will realize; If Gauss really knew that the problem was "unsolvable", would he still ask for trouble? I'm afraid the "answer" is still an "eternal mystery". If something is considered "impossible" in people's consciousness, then it will naturally not be done in action, and the "result" will really be "impossible". Theory is a guide to action. What kind of educational idea will naturally lead to what kind of educational behavior will also lead to what kind of educational results.
Primary and secondary school students are in the growth stage. Their behavior habits, moral quality and thinking consciousness are completely plastic and have full potential to be tapped. The key is whether we can discover, excavate, design and carve. We must bear in mind that we must never make the mistake of "the blind touch the elephant" and make the world laugh.
The answers of twelve children in educational stories
This is a question that focuses on the ideological and moral character of third-grade primary school students: "What would you do if your assistant aunt bought you 10 yuan books in a bookstore?" The adult formatted answer to this question is: give it back to the assistant aunt! Otherwise, pupils who answer questions will have ideological and moral problems. However, the child's answer is colorful: I also gave the assistant aunt 3 yuan, leaving 7 yuan to buy another book; I went home to my mother because her mother was laid off; I give it to the police uncle, but what if the police uncle buys candy himself? I give it back to my aunt, but she must buy me an ice cream. I play video games with money ... In fact, 10 yuan can't test a child's morality. But 10 yuan should be very effective in testing an adult's ideology and morality. I think if Li Zhen, the first secretary of Hebei Province, answered, he would definitely say "Give it back to the assistant aunt", and if Hu Changqing, Zhang Erjiang and others answered, he would definitely say "Give it back to the assistant aunt". In front of the weight of 10 yuan, the hypocrite only exposed the shadow of his soul and moral corruption in the "correct" answer; Children also exposed the innocence of childhood, no distractions. Of course, perhaps this comparison is not convincing. But when I saw the child's answer "Because my mother was laid off, I went home and gave it to my mother", my heart was shaken by the child's love for my mother! I think there is nothing wrong with this child's ideology and morality.
Another old brain teaser: there are three birds in the tree, 1 was killed by one shot. How many birds are left in the tree? All adults and all children misled by adults will laugh: silly, of course, there are none left! ""There are two birds left in the tree. "This is a second-grade girl's answer. Facing the laughter of the whole class, the little girl said, "The three birds in the tree are father bird, mother bird and baby bird. Father bird was shot and killed by bad guys, and mother bird was scared away; Baby bird didn't know he was afraid yet, so he didn't fly. After flying away, the mother bird saw that the bird didn't follow, so she flew back to save the bird. So, there are two birds left in the tree, mother bird and baby bird. "Fortunately, the little girl met a thoughtful and moral teacher. In the laughter of the whole class, the teacher seriously encouraged the little girl: "You are a caring child, and your answer is really good! "。
Facing the stylized answer, we are gradually adapting to the habit of machines, but we forget ourselves and that we are a real thinking person. In this terrible cycle, groups of adults are copying groups of the same children. When individual children use their remaining imagination to break through the ideological limitations of adults, they often get sarcasm and ridicule, not recognition and encouragement! Therefore, children's imagination is gradually degenerating and disappearing, and with sympathy and love, they eventually become numb and ignorant, leaving only a rigid body of ideology and morality.
The thirteenth criticism of educational stories can be so humorous.
This is a self-study class. The students are absorbed in reading and writing in their seats. I stood in front of the lecture desk and corrected their homework. I can't help but frown when I switch to well-off homework: the words are wide and big, and the grids are full. So, he casually said, "Xiaokang, it's time for you to lose weight." Things just passed. Unexpectedly, after class, several children who usually speak quickly surrounded me: "Teacher, it's interesting that you criticized Xiaokang today. We like you to talk like this. " Shuai Shuai, a sports committee member, said, "Teacher, when we make mistakes, if you can criticize the well-off society as you do today, we will definitely like you. Really, we like such criticism.
Humor creates a harmonious educational situation and makes the original embarrassing criticism friendly. More importantly, humor conveys the tutor's respect and trust to the students, as Mr. Lao She said: "The humorous person is warm-hearted." Humorous teachers not only don't think that students' wrong behavior comes from bad motives, but sometimes assume that their motives are good. This assumption of "whitewashing mistakes" protects students' self-esteem and can stimulate students' strong desire to turn over a new leaf.
Criticism and encouragement of educational stories
In primary school, I was naughty and active, and my grades were not good. I remember when I was in the second grade, my teacher once assigned a lot of math homework. After school, my sister, who is two years older than me, helped me finish all my homework in order to play with me for a while. After handing in my homework the next day, I have been waiting for the result in fear and trembling. After math class, the teacher distributed the exercise books to everyone except me and another classmate with good grades. I only remember that my face was red at that time. I think the teacher must have found out. So, I lowered my head and waited nervously for the teacher's "judgment". Unexpectedly, the teacher took out the exercise books of me and that classmate in front of the whole class and said, "Students, these are the most neat and accurate two assignments that the teacher encountered when correcting homework. I hope you can learn more from these two students in the future! " Then he said the names of me and that classmate. I really don't know what to do under the envious and suspicious eyes of my classmates. After class, the teacher handed me the exercise book alone and said to me meaningfully, "You are a clever boy. The teacher hopes that you can finish your homework as you did today. " After that day, every time I wrote my homework, I was especially careful, even surpassing my sister's notes, my grades continued to improve, and even other subjects made progress.
In middle school, an English teacher once asked me to read a text by name. I spent a lot of time previewing that text. After reading it, when I waited for the teacher's affirmation and praise with anticipation, I got this sentence: "What are you looking at? No matter English or chanting, your spoken English is too poor, so you should exercise more in the future ... "Sadly, I stopped liking English from then on, and English is still my weakest item until now.
Ten years later, I am still grateful to my math teacher who encouraged me, and I still remember clearly what my English teacher said. Now, I have also become a glorious educator. Looking back, I really didn't mean to blame anyone. I just want to tell my colleagues that your affirmation and encouragement, your casual criticism, have a great effect on your students.
