Education must focus on the inherent development requirements of "people" and regard "people" as the purpose of education itself, which is the educational essence that people should pursue under the slogan of "quality education". Promoting human nature is an important mission entrusted to us in the 21st century.
Education should start from "humanity" and every living person. Education based on "human nature" meets the needs of human development in many aspects; Education from every living person can fully develop everyone's personality. < P > Everyone has his own potential, but the development direction of each person's potential may be different. Then, in school and class, every student has the right to actively develop according to his own potential characteristics. Every student not only has his own potential, but also the development of these potentials will be very different due to the differences of personal acquired conditions. In particular, some students are in an unfavorable environment, and their potential development will be suppressed. As one of the most important environments for students' life, class may become an obstacle to students' development, and it is more likely to solve this obstacle in the social environment of class. As the core figure in the class society, the head teacher should naturally take more responsibility for the development of students' personality!
the head teacher should not only pay attention to the general development needs of students, but also pay attention to the development characteristics of each student, and give students effective help according to their development needs. To meet the needs of every student's development, the class teacher needs to play a unique role.
Starting from "humanity", we put forward "humanized education", which is the need of the times and our wise choice. "Humanized education" includes many educational arts such as tolerance, democracy, equality, encouragement and appreciation. Only in the atmosphere of "humanized education" can individuals with rich personalities be born. Allowing diversification is an important embodiment of modern people's modern consciousness, and the class teacher, as the guide of students, should first have this consciousness. According to the newspaper, the head teacher of a middle school in Shanxi Province guided students to carry out the "I am the best" activity in their work practice, which was well received by teachers, students and parents. The enthusiasm of students was unprecedentedly high, and every student had something shining. The art of educators lies in guiding students to discover their own advantages and thus develop their own potential. Under the guidance of the head teacher, the subjective consciousness of every student in the class has been improved unprecedentedly. Students have told the secrets in their hearts from the angles of favorite, hate, ability, fear and desire, and encouraged each other to cultivate students' personality and virtue and publicize their subjectivity.
It is the fundamental characteristic of traditional class teachers to keep to the old rules and conform to the rules. Only when the class teachers in the new era have innovative consciousness can they be worthy of the title of student guide. Traditional education follows the "shaping mode", and its disadvantages lie in ignoring, suppressing and even killing people's innovative spirit. To cultivate students with rich personality and innovative spirit, we must have teachers with rich personality and innovative spirit. As the basic organization of the whole school's education work, classes have special significance in setting up the wind of innovation, forming innovative consciousness, carrying out innovative activities and cultivating innovative talents. As the leader of class organization, management, education and guidance, the head teacher should first have the sense of innovation.
1. Reflection on previous educational behavior.
A middle school student wrote angrily on the Internet:
I have been running around the line between school and home all day, and I am numb!
Learning should be a happy thing, but why am I so miserable? The school system! A system that destroys humanity! I was brainwashed by the school system all day and became expressionless and heartless; Like machines, is the essence of education to turn us into machines? ! No! We have to resist!
we must resist. what are the consequences of not resisting? Accept the persecution of a system that is more destructive to human nature!
Students, let's unite and fight to overthrow the unreasonable and inhuman system! And fight!
There is such a letter to the class teacher:
Dear old class:
Hello!
please forgive the students' unintentional offense! I have been forbearing for a long time and want to say to you, I sincerely hope that you will be angry, let alone angry!
I know that you love us deeply, and have done a lot for us, and arranged everything for us ... but I hate you for it. You have paid a heavy price for our study and life. We understand, but we can't forgive you, because you sacrificed our family, yourself and us at the same time. Under your education of forgetting to eat and sleep, we have lost a lot of extracurricular activities. We usually have no time to watch TV, movies and enjoy music. What's more frightening is that under your tireless education, we can't think. Under your education of "obedient education", we have learned to be obedient, and at the same time, we have no feelings, personalities and thoughts. We have become robots manipulated and used.
Your students are worried
Aren't we shocked when we see this post and this letter? ! When we educators (especially class teachers) think of selfless dedication to students, and when our hearts are broken for students, have we ever thought about what students really want? What are the students thinking? Why do students often do some unconventional actions to vent their dissatisfaction with school management?
if our head teacher doesn't know anything about this, then why should we be the head teacher of the students? How can a teacher who is not qualified to be a class teacher educate his students well? This series of problems have to cause our class teacher to make a profound reflection on his work behavior.
reflection 1: "rule by man" is greater than "rule by law".
Many class teachers have become accustomed to the "rule of man" in their work: the class teacher has the final say on all matters, and the quality of class spirit depends not only on the students' self-education and self-management ability, but also on the personal quality of the class teacher. For students, this "paternalism" is not so much management as control! Perhaps on the surface, students are in good order and discipline, but the potential negative effects of education are worrying. Students only have the obligation to obey, but not the right to participate, which restricts their sense of ownership and creativity. Therefore, the work of class teachers should move from "rule by man" to "rule by law". Through the "rule of law" management, the authority of the class teacher will be transformed into the collective authority, the students' self-education and management will be institutionalized, and the students' awareness and ability of democratic management will be enhanced and improved. The change from "rule by man" to "rule by law" in the work of class teachers is not only an improvement of management style, but also an update of work concept.
reflection 2: violating the "control" of humanity.
the unified values and mindset are still affecting some people, and the class teacher is no exception. Many class teachers have formed the habit of managing the day and the land and the head and the tail at work. This "code" and that "norm" are full of words such as "no", "no" and "no". For example, some class teachers regard children's age characteristics, psychological characteristics and the resulting behavior as "violation of discipline" and blame or punish them. This is not only a trouble for the class teacher, but also a misunderstanding and injustice to the students. It's really funny to think that children's nature and personality characteristics are shortcomings and mistakes. Can we regard children's love of sports and fun as "shortcomings"? ? Sometimes some students' bad behaviors are obviously problems of personality psychology and behavior, which need to be understood and treated, but they are regarded as ideological and moral problems, so they are criticized and punished; Obviously, it is the natural expression of students' nature and potential, which should be guided and encouraged, but it is considered to be doing nothing and acting recklessly to stop and suppress it; It is obvious that only one or several courses have poor exam results and should be inspired and helped, but it is considered that the whole person is hopeless and treated with discrimination and cold eyes; Obviously, it is childish mistakes and accidental mistakes, which should be educated and tolerated, but it is considered that bad habits are not changed, and they are on the line and accused ... All these seriously affect the full development of students' personality and the formation of sound personality.
No wonder many children are criticized and punished by teachers, and they don't know where they are wrong. This phenomenon, which violates the laws of education, is the performance of the head teacher's ignorance in psychology and the lack of humanized control. If some children like reading novels, some children like singing, and some children like sports, this is their interest and hobby. Some children are flexible, some children are silent, some children are withdrawn, and some children are blunt, all of which belong to personality problems, and there is no need to force uniformity at all. This has little to do with personal moral quality, and our class teacher simply does not need to pay more attention. Education is a kind of guidance and a real art of love. Therefore, our class teacher should naturally encourage and guide the education of young students who are growing up. Creating a relaxed and free educational environment for children is conducive to their healthy growth. Children's activeness and playfulness are not only shortcomings or mistakes, but the growing points of morality and intelligence. Children's nature is just virgin land to be developed. Ignore these aspects, and quality education will be greatly reduced. .
reflection 3: too much "quantitative" management.
the work of a class teacher is to manage the development of students' behavior norms in addition to instilling theories into students. The object of the class teacher's work is people, not machine parts, not static objects. We expect a lively and growing generation of new people. Krupskaya wrote: "For children, thoughts cannot be separated from specific people. The educational function of the school is to teach and educate people, emphasize people-oriented, people-centered, respect and understand people, and need more spiritual promotion, persuasion and communication, and a relaxed environment that is comfortable and enterprising. For example, system construction is an important measure in class management, but the formulation and implementation of the system need to vary from class to class, conform to the age characteristics of students, and pay attention to cultivation rather than inspection, correction and punishment. It is well known that human nature tells us that no one likes to be forced or obey orders. The change in terms of public facilities in cities now illustrates this point well. In the past, words such as "prohibition" and "fines for offenders" were replaced by words such as "please …" and "protecting flowers and plants will bring everyone a good mood". According to the newspaper, in order to achieve a better reform effect, Nanjing Prison no longer posted slogans like "Just be honest, don't talk nonsense and move around", but all of them were replaced with famous aphorisms like "Fall down and get up, this is success". This is true for reforming criminals, not to mention that we are dealing with naive and romantic students.
On the other hand, the rules and regulations of our education management are full of codes of conduct, punishment regulations and detailed rules of rewards and punishments. Every school and every class is a thousand people, one by one, which is not specific and comprehensive, and the effect is unknown. It is often posted on the wall, talked about, and failed to be implemented. Once our education is digitized, it will often bring negative effects. For example, in order to get more points in the evaluation of civilized classes, some class teachers acquiesce in students' fraud, false good deeds and false donations, which actually harms students' young hearts. We put too much emphasis on scientific management, quantitative evaluation, strict system and cold figures to restrain students, which makes students' initiative and enthusiasm frustrated. This kind of management is essentially a kind of inhuman management, which is the performance of seeing things but not people. At present, the popular quantitative management is popular on campus, and the digital appraisal has penetrated into all aspects of routine inspection. There are more and more people with red armbands on campus, and administrative leaders, teachers on duty and patrol students all have one purpose-deducting points. In addition to abusing different levels of punishment, it seems that no suitable method can be found. Some class teachers teach students to behave in a down-to-earth manner, and in class, they ask the class leader to evaluate his classmates' conduct in the form of scores. So-and-so talks in class, and 1 point is deducted at a time. So-and-so shouts loudly during class, and 2 points are deducted. As a result, the class leader has no mind to study, and only cares about deducting your score.
I think that too much and too obvious supervision atmosphere makes people feel disrespected and unhappy, which is not conducive to education and teaching. Moreover, what modern society needs is talents with innovative thinking and creative ability. Only in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere can there be the release of individual potential and the full and free development of human beings. Modern talents cannot be cultivated by "management, clamping and pressure" with a strong smell of gunpowder. In this guarded and supervised environment, students are on the brink of an abyss, walking on thin ice, and everyone is in danger. It is not surprising that the relationship between the class teacher and the students is indifferent. What personality can the students trained in this way have besides obeying?
The urgent task is to completely change this inhuman situation, let the class management system take root in people's hearts, and change heteronomy into self-discipline. Establish a management model full of humanistic care that conforms to the characteristics of our school, and build a new home for the development of teachers and students with those management concepts characterized by spiritual guidance and value orientation.
reflection iv: the education of "pseudo-sanctification".
To respect people's individuality and promote individualized development, we must respect people's way of life. The same is true for students. However, there is a tendency of pseudo-sanctification in the current work of class teachers. What the class teacher instills in the students the most may be to study hard, take an examination of famous universities and key universities, and become the envy of scientists, engineers, writers, teachers and so on in the future. Anyone who is "not ambitious" will be despised by everyone. Teachers and students lack the sense of common people. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why books such as Harvard Girl, Peking University Boy and Oxford Boy sell well. We think: if it is a grass, it must be green; If it is a big tree, it will bear fruit; If it is a rose, it will bloom.
In foreign primary and secondary schools, no one teaches children to compress the space of self-existence. To put it bluntly, the purpose of study is to find a good job. When the middle school reaches the second grade, the teacher asks the students to talk about their future career choices in class. If a student talks about ideals: I want to earn more money, buy a good car, live in a good house and visit the world's scenic spots in the future ... As long as he abides by the law and relies on his own efforts to get all this, no one thinks there is anything wrong. After all, the world is made up of thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian, including teachers who educate them. Therefore, what's wrong with being an upright ordinary person? There is such an interesting thing: when Truman was elected president of the United States, journalists went to interview his mother and said to her, "You must be very proud to have such a son." Truman's mother replied, "Yes. However, I still have a son, which also makes me proud-he is digging potatoes in the field now. " If we say that she looks at the problem from the perspective of a mother; So, if we were a mother in China, or a teacher in China, would we be able to give such an answer? Schools should confidently teach students to understand and develop "personal value", and it should be schools to improve students' "personal value".
