Part I: Reflections on Sukhomlinski's Advice to Teachers
When I read Sukhomlinski's Advice to Teachers again, I benefited a lot. Among the 1 suggestions, reading is the most talked about, which touched me the most.
reading, reading without interruption every day, and forming a lifelong friendship with books is a real lesson preparation. Su believes that reading is not for tomorrow's class, but for inner needs and thirst for knowledge. If you want to have more free time and not turn preparing lessons into boring textbooks, then you should read academic works. In the field of science you teach, you should make the basic knowledge of science contained in the school textbook just common sense for you. In the sea of your scientific knowledge, the basic knowledge in the textbooks you teach students should be a drop in the ocean. Suhomlinski suggested that teachers should set up their own books, make them their own teachers, and consult them every day. Then, "every year, your scientific knowledge becomes richer." After working for several years, "textbooks are as easy as literacy textbooks in your eyes." It is in this sense that we say that every class of a teacher is prepared in a lifetime.
as a teacher, it is our duty to impart knowledge. No matter in daily life or teaching process, we should set an example and be a teacher. Without rich knowledge, it is impossible to have a detailed and profound explanation; Without rich knowledge, it is impossible to teach and educate people; Without rich knowledge, it is impossible to continue the knowledge of national culture; Without rich knowledge, it is impossible to "fill the world with peaches and plums". We will feel ashamed to shoulder the mission of gardener. Therefore, the sense of professional responsibility urges us to read more books and become a model that people support. "and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die, and every night the candles will weep their wicks away." This famous saying is a true portrayal of teachers, and it is also our lifelong pursuit and belief.
Suhomlinski said, "Schools should become the kingdom of books." "Read books every day and be friends with books all your life. This is a gurgling stream that keeps flowing all day, and it enriches the river of thoughts." Love reading should be a teacher's professional quality and habit. Just as soldiers like weapons and children like toys, teachers' first love should be books. Teachers' reading atmosphere can influence and drive students' hobbies and social customs. "If your students feel that your thoughts are constantly enriching, if they are convinced that what you said today is not a repetition of what you said yesterday, then reading will become your students' spiritual need." (Suhomlinski) When books become teachers' first love, loving reading will become students' first love.
In his great works, Suhomlinski also brilliantly revealed the truth of reading: the development of students' intelligence depends on their reading ability. "3 years of experience has convinced me that students' intellectual development depends on good reading ability." "If reading becomes the most important window to the knowledge world for students, there is no need to spend a lot of time making up lessons for students." He believes that one of the important reasons for the difficulties in learning and the formation of poor students is that he chews textbooks all day long and "desperately uses his memory machine." Just because "a student reads nothing but textbooks, he can't even read textbooks well". If we really want to reduce students' mental work, we should "let them go to the bookshelves in the school library and turn books from sleeping giants into best friends in youth"!
Reading excellent books is the best self-education and self-improvement, which is another important teaching provided by Suhomlinski. He said: "I firmly believe that the self-education of teenagers begins with reading a good book." "Talking to yourself and appealing to your conscience is the real self-education. Only those who find an example for themselves from the moral wealth of human beings, and those who hope to learn the most precious things for their hearts from these wealth, can reach the lofty realm of thought and life. I think that only when every young man finds a book that leaves a deep mark in his life can he achieve the educational goal. " In his view, what books a person has read in his youth and adolescence will affect or even determine his life.
Students, the flowers of the motherland, the new force in the 21st century and the successors of national construction, must first have the spirit of enterprising, and the strength of this spirit comes from books. Let "study hard and make progress every day" become the trajectory of their lives; Being brave in exploration and innovation has become their pursuit goal; "Learning from the sea is endless, and learning from the sea is endless" has become the direction of their life, which is also the responsibility of our educators.
Please look at the students around us. Those who are backward in study and hate going to school, those who are unwilling to make progress and study hard, and those who have bad character and behavior, although their life backgrounds, personalities and shortcomings are different, have one thing in common, that is, they have no hobbies and habits of reading.
Throughout the world, people who like reading are often excellent people. In the Jewish nation, when a child is a little sensible, the mother will drop a little honey on the Bible and let the child kiss it, so that the child can know in his mind that the book is sweet. In that scholarly society, we know that he at least gave birth to some human geniuses like Marx, Einstein and Freud. Every 2 people in Russia have a set of Complete Works of Pushkin; South Korea replaces wine cabinets with bookcases and strives to build a scholarly society; The enrollment of American universities can reach 8% of the total population during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period in China ... What about us? Look around us, more and more people don't like reading, impetuous wind prevails, and if this continues, how can we get it?
today, when the whole society strongly advocates reading, let's study hard, read more books and read good books from now on, so that reading can become a compulsory course for teachers' professional quality, an "oxygen booster" for students' knowledge sources and a knowledge window for children to become talents. In this way, our nation will be more prosperous, our country will be more prosperous and our life will be more colorful.
reading enlightens wisdom, stimulates vitality, enriches and makes people happy, and makes people full of strength to open up a glorious future. I remember a famous person once said, "If you don't study for a day, your language will be tasteless and your face will be disgusting." Let's remember this sentence, read, read and read again!
chapter 2: suhomlinski's advice to teachers
every teacher is trying to create a relaxed, happy and harmonious teaching atmosphere, and hopes that students will be interested in learning in their own classroom. How can we make the class interesting? How can we stimulate students' interest in learning? What is the secret of interest? For this series of problems, I spent more than ten years but failed to study it thoroughly. However, when I read Sukhomlinski's Advice to Teachers, I felt suddenly enlightened.
There are 1 suggestions in the book, which are substantial and fully reflect the author's educational thoughts and practice. Each of the 1 suggestions in the book talks about a problem, with vivid practical examples and incisive theoretical analysis. The text is easy to understand, fluent and easy to read. Every suggestion, like a rain, dispelled my distress and confusion in teaching and gave me many new gains and experiences. What impressed me most was the 21st suggestion "What's the secret of interest".
"Interest is the best teacher". Among his many suggestions, he mentioned the ways to stimulate students' interest more than once, and he put it in a very important position. What is the secret of interest? He said that cognition itself is the most amazing and amazing process to stimulate vivid and indelible interest. Everything in nature, their relationships and interrelations, movements and changes, people's thoughts and everything created by people are inexhaustible sources of interest. At the same time, you should try to make students discover the source of interest by themselves, and let them experience their own labor and achievements in the process of discovery, which itself is one of the ultimate sources of interest. Therefore, Suhomlinski attaches great importance to the process of students' brain exploration in learning knowledge. He believes that without mental work, students' interest and attention will be out of the question.
Tolstoy, a great master of Russian literature, once said, "What successful teaching needs is not coercion, but stimulating students' interest." For students, interest is like a gurgling stream, which can stimulate their thirst for knowledge and make them want to learn, be willing to learn and be happy to learn. Suhomlinski believes that the first source of interest in knowledge lies in teachers' attitude towards the teaching materials and facts to be analyzed in class. Therefore, when preparing lessons, he always tries to think and understand the combination points and lines in the textbook. He believes that only by grasping the intersection of these ideas can we explain something novel and unexpected in understanding the truth and regularity of the world around us and stimulate students' interest in learning. Suhomlinski believes that the interest in knowledge lies in the application of knowledge, so that students can experience a "sense of rights" in which reason is higher than facts and phenomena. Let students experience that knowledge is a kind of power that ennobles people in the process of applying knowledge, which is more powerful than anything else and a stimulus that stimulates their interest in knowledge. These viewpoints of Suhomlinski have a direct guiding effect on the curriculum reform of basic education that we are actively promoting, and on students' interest in learning, creation and practice.
As a teacher, I have made many attempts to stimulate students' interest: wonderful courseware design, beautiful incentive language, various classroom games, competitive incentives and so on. I thought I had done a good job, but after reading the book "Advice to Teachers" by Suhomlinski-what is the secret of interest, my previous efforts seem to be eclipsed. In the book, Suhomlinski believes that if you pursue the superficial and obvious stimulation of knowledge to arouse students' interest in learning and attending classes, then you will never cultivate students' real love for mental work. It can be seen that all my previous efforts have stayed in stimulating students' superficial interest.
After reading the section "Advice for Teachers" by Suhomlinski, I was greatly touched. I asked myself: How can I stimulate students' interest in learning now? How can Suhomlinski's suggestion be implemented in my actual teaching?
First of all, teachers should be familiar with textbooks and prepare lessons adequately. The knowledge of truth is produced in students' consciousness, which comes from students' understanding of the combination points between various facts and phenomena and the clues that connect various facts and phenomena in series. Then when we are preparing lessons, we should try our best to grasp, think and understand those junctions and lines. For example, when preparing for the teaching of the three letters of jqx, considering that most students have learned these three letters in kindergarten, to arouse students' interest in learning, we can guide students' attention to another combination point: the three initials of jqx are too lonely, can you find him some vowel friends to accompany them? From the teaching of initials to the teaching of jqx and V, we can find the right combination point, focus students' attention on the new teaching and stimulate their curiosity.
Secondly, let students experience the joy of success. For children, every child wants to be a discoverer, researcher and explorer, and they are all eager to succeed. In teaching, teachers should create suitable opportunities to encourage students to apply what they have learned, so that students can feel the power of learning knowledge and experience the joy of success from it. For example, after teaching the article "osmanthus rain" in the first volume of the fifth grade, students can go outside and observe osmanthus in person. This is a real discovery for them. This discovery inspires children, and they will become curious and active.
Thirdly, colorful extracurricular activities are full of interest. To stimulate students' interest in learning, we should not just stay in the classroom. Colorful extracurricular activities are also an effective way to cultivate students' interest in learning, that is, the organic combination of in-class and extracurricular activities. For example, hold a handwritten board exhibition to let students experience the joy of learning knowledge; Poetry recitation, let students experience the charm of ancient poetry learning; Two-part allegorical saying contest, let students feel the charm of China traditional culture.
Every time I hold Sukhomlinski's Advice for Teachers, I always get a lot of new enlightenment. When we feel that the internal force is not enough and need to be recharged, immediately open this educational masterpiece and go back to Sukhomlinski's words, and you will certainly gain something, glad you came. The road of education has a long way to go. I will continue to learn, enrich myself and care for my children's happy childhood in my ordinary job accompanied by Sukhomlinski's Suggestions for Teachers.
Part III: Reflections on Suhomlinski's Advice to Teachers
Suhomlinski's book Advice to Teachers gave me a great shock. Indeed, these suggestions have given me a clearer direction as a teacher and helped me greatly. It is like a guiding light.
Although today's education situation has changed a lot compared with the time when Suhomlinski wrote the book, his shining thoughts and concise language are not out of date for today's educators. It is still like a timely rain, nourishing thirsty souls. Like face to face with teachers, it talks about teachers' distress and confusion. When I read the paragraph "Where does the teacher's time come from?", it really made me have a big buzz. As a young teacher, I really find that time is always not enough. I always prepare lessons, make teaching AIDS, attend classes, write reflections, etc. Every day, looking up at the clock, one day passes, but I can gain little.
The book "Advice to Teachers" gave me a good advice: reading, reading nonstop every day, and forming a lifelong friendship with books. He also cited an example in the book: one day, an old teacher gave a very wonderful public class, and her style attracted all the teachers present. When someone asked her, "How much time did you spend preparing for this class?" The old teacher said, "I have been preparing for this class all my life, and I have spent my whole life preparing for every class!" I was moved, and I was suddenly enlightened. We always complain that time passes like an arrow, but God is the fairest. It gives each of us 24 hours a day. The problem is that we are tired of coping, and things chase after us all day without taking the initiative to do things.
This is especially true when you think about yourself. You are eager to "cram for Buddha's feet". Sometimes for an open class, I spend a lot of time searching for relevant pictures and knowledge on the internet and magazines; Sometimes in order to write a paper, I also rack my brains and waste my time lying in front of the computer. It's sad to think of it! I think this is the result of not studying at ordinary times and rushing to "cram for Buddha's feet". The book mentioned: "Reading is one of the effective ways to save teachers' time. Reading is not for coping, but from the heart.
