Nanming Education, formerly known as the New Education Research Center, presided over the theoretical discussion and curriculum development of new education experiments from 2006 to 20 14, initiated by Gan Guoxiang, Wang Zhijiang, Wei Zhiyuan and Ma Ling.
After leaving the new education experiment, the team registered "Nanming Education" and called this curriculum system, which lasted for eight years, "the beauty of the whole person", to distinguish it from the children's curriculum of the new education and the whole person curriculum it created.
The name "Nanming" is taken from Zhuang Zhou's "Happy Travel". The original word is "Nanming", but it actually means "Nanming". The team believes that Beiming symbolizes infinite possibilities, but the spirit has not yet awakened, life has not yet begun, and possibilities have not yet been realized; Nanming is the highest realization of spirit and life, but because its breadth and depth are infinite, even if it is clear and bright, it is still a bottomless "Tianchi".
Nanming education is the highest freedom to hope that life will sprout and transform from infinite possibilities, soar freely between heaven and earth, and embody and realize the spirit.
Nanming Education has drawn up the following general outline of "the beauty of the whole person":
Here, "stretching their body and mind" to "elegant their appearance" is the program of physical education curriculum; "Elegant appearance" to "rich feelings" are the guiding principles of art courses; "Enriching their feelings" to "Emancipating their minds" is the program of the wisdom course; From "spiritual independence" to "self-realization" is the procedure of moral personality course.
The whole course takes "maintaining one's dignity" as the minimum principle and "realizing oneself" as the highest goal. The hidden course is not to humiliate and intimidate, not to rank in exams, and students and teachers encourage each other and do not hurt each other.
There are four secondary courses, namely, physique course, art course, wisdom course and moral personality course, which are composed of several tertiary courses and dozens of four-level course systems. These sub-courses come from the research and development of the team for more than ten years, and keep moving forward and creating in educational life.
Beauty of the Whole Person Course 1.0 Edition (2006~20 10): The New Education Research Center, the predecessor of the team, once proposed "lead a happy and complete educational life", "* * * read and live together", "triple realm of ideal classroom" and "professional identity and professional development-writing. In order to establish the soul of the campus, live out the fundamental spirit of Chinese culture and create a perfect classroom, he has presided over the development of universal courses such as reading and writing, triple realm of ideal classroom, morning reading, afternoon reading, sunset province, pantomime and final celebration.
The beauty of the whole person course version 2.0 (20 10~20 15): By hosting schools such as Hantai New Education Experimental Primary School in Inner Mongolia, the team organically unified all the courses in the 1.0 version into the "beauty of the whole person" course system, creating a complete and unified course system, covering the whole campus life and education process, and forming a refined classic and self. The achievements of these schools have been highly affirmed by witnesses, and the school has been praised by many experts as "Pavlis Middle School in China". The first case of the book Remodeling Lifelong Education, which reflects the local education innovation in China in recent ten years, is based on this.
The Beauty of Whole-person Curriculum Version 3.0 (20 16~): In order to break through the management and cultural bottleneck of public schools, the team set up private schools in various places, trying to use the beauty of whole-person curriculum to realize "a happy and complete educational life" and ensure that the ultimate goal of "being a self-fulfilling free man" can become an educational reality. With the re-opening of middle school curriculum, the whole curriculum system has also been fine-tuned: the weight of "critical thinking" has been added throughout, and the weight of "research learning" has been added in senior primary schools and middle schools.
