The book "Details of Education" believes that behind the details are big stories, containing profound educational secrets, and tells vivid cases in education. The following is my review of this book for you. You are welcome to read it! Thoughts after reading "Details of Education" (1)

I read the book "Details of Education" by Zhu Yongtong. This book is described in five parts: "Living in Concepts" and "Keeping the Focus of Education" , "A change of one centimeter", "Taking things for granted in education" and "Living a thoughtful teaching life", the words are simple and sincere. As online comments say, "it can penetrate the soul and embody the wisdom of educating people." It is a valuable and good book about education that is worth reading. The bits and pieces of life examples in it have won a lot of appeal for this educational monograph, which made me feel all kinds of excitement while working on the front line of education. The author has an in-depth interpretation of seemingly ordinary phenomena in our education front line. It is admirable, and even more inspired by it, I am willing to be the changer of 1 centimeter.

When I saw the chapter "One Centimeter Change", these sentences in the previous quote felt particularly good: Persisting in one centimeter change means starting from the place that can be changed. Work hard to change centimeter by centimeter. A change as small as one centimeter can lead to more and greater changes if it challenges the "habitual unconsciousness" of anti-education in accustomed educational behaviors.

Take this time to prepare for the Zhenjiang physical fitness test, for example, the beginning was to increase the amount of exercise and persevere in practice for every student and every quality in order to improve the overall performance. Originally, students' physical improvement relied on a few physical education classes at school, which could not change the situation much. But after more than a month of practice, most of the students' physical qualities have improved significantly. And students see their progress and are willing to exercise and change themselves. As a physical education teacher, I also strive to start from where I can change and work hard to change centimeter by centimeter.

Educational reform is long and difficult. If you think about it carefully, it is not that the "top-level design" is not beautiful enough, nor that the promotion efforts cannot keep up, but that no matter how vigorous the pace of reform, with few exceptions, it must stop at conceptual "habits." unconscious". People often say that if we cannot change the world, we must change ourselves. In fact, changing yourself will indirectly change the world, because each of us is a part of this world. But changing yourself is easier said than done! Everyone lives in the conceptual "habitual unconsciousness" and has a natural fear of too many and too fast changes. Resistance is an inevitable reaction out of self-protection.

Therefore, the ancients lamented: The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Fortunately, it is "difficult to move" rather than impossible to move. The "difficulty" that the ancients lamented is that firstly, it is difficult to see what needs to be changed in oneself, which requires self-awareness and reflection; secondly, it is difficult to find the appropriate way to change oneself, which requires wisdom and persistence. As an educator who is busy all day long, especially a front-line teacher, I can realize that seemingly small educational behaviors can accumulate bit by bit and gradually become a big problem that is difficult to solve in my work. I just try hard to change myself and look forward to taking a small step today and reaping a blue sky tomorrow.

"Moist Seat" made me know that preventing any student from becoming a "marginal" or "outsider" outside our eyes should become the basic quality of every teacher. The most difficult thing for a teacher is What we achieve is not how high a professional title or how much honor we get, but how to fully pay attention to, understand and care for human nature, and work hard for the future of every child in the "trivial" work for decades. Accumulate a good attitude. Although physical education advocates treating every student equally, it is difficult to achieve this in reality.

I was deeply touched by reading this book. In the formation in physical education class, I tried to have tall people in front in one class and short people in front in the next class. Let them feel that the teacher pays attention to both of them. Although it is this simple formation change, the students feel very happy. This may be the power of details.

In the future education and teaching, I will continue to explore and learn, and not ignore the details of education. Thoughts after reading "Details of Education" (2)

I have read a few chapters of Zhu Yongtong's "Details of Education" in various issues of "Teachers' Monthly". I found his writing to be very restrained, not only in length but also in emotion. The article is written calmly, even a little coldly.

Yongtong is a thoughtful person. A seemingly rough boy used his careful observation of education, teachers and students, and self-examination to write a delicate and meticulous "Details of Education". These details are all small things, but Yongtong's sharp eyes can see them clearly, thoroughly and penetratingly.

In the article "Where is the Concept of Equality", a student greets the teacher, and the teacher looks indifferent or at most nods condescendingly. Is this a small matter? It’s so small that it’s unlikely to affect the school’s ranking in the district or city, but it may leave a lifelong psychological shadow on the students who ask for it—because it’s a detail that students can’t forget; a certain math teacher favors a certain student (unfortunately) , who happens to be a child of a wealthy family) is also a trivial matter, but it makes other students hate her class. She is the lowest grade in math in the class - this teacher may not think of such a reason even after racking her brains.

In the article "Moisturizing Seats", when the number of students in a class is an odd number, Yongtong asked many principals how to arrange a separate seat, but he couldn't find the answer - how could the principal have the thought to consider such a thing? Little things...

Yongtong calmly and truly recorded what he had seen and heard in the education sector over the years. He said coldly, I cried while reading this. Laughing, especially the article "School Culture in Three Words", the story copied from Cui Yongyuan about the children in poor areas who have never seen football and how to clean it, made me laugh to tears. After laughing, the tears still linger. The place where you live flows downwards - In the current Chinese education field that is full of "absurdity", there are too many things that make people laugh or cry.

I often see and hear things like this. When many parents who came for consultation complained to me, I found that they were talking about trivial matters, and I was powerless to do anything about these trivial matters. For example, there is a new teacher in the child's class, and he still can't call the children by their names after ten days. On Teacher's Day, the child who is not familiar with the world tells the new teacher without any secret that he will go to the next class to give gifts to the teacher. The former teacher's face sank when he heard this, and he actually disagreed with the child giving gifts. At night, the child told his mother what had happened. The mother stayed up all night, not because the gift was not delivered, but because she was worried about how the child would study and live under this teacher in the future.

Education is made up of many small things, and there are not so many big things, big words, big words, big slogans and big ideas.

If there is a big thing in education, it is what children care about. What do children care about? It’s whether the class is fun and interesting, whether there are good stories in the newly issued Chinese language books, whether we can run and fight on the playground during recess, whether the school allows us to go on outings, and whether we have physical education classes. It will not be occupied by the main subject, it is a teacher's smile, it is a red leaf on the campus... These things can make children either cheer or "sad". These small things in the eyes of adults are precisely the big things for children. It is a major matter of education, and it is also a detail of education. It is a pity that our educators often ignore these details, but like to do big things - give the school a big idea, write big slogans on the walls, and let the children shout big slogans.

In fact, all the little things and details that Yongtong wrote are nothing more than calling for education, calling for schools, and calling for teachers to give children equality, respect and love.

Putting small things into the hearts of each child and using details to consider each student's delicate thoughts - this may be the major event of our education. In "Details of Education", I was moved by the head teacher's insistence on "sleep first" rather than "homework first"; Principal Song said, "Drive slowly, it's better to be late than in a hurry"; I was moved by Yang Yong, the principal of Qinglin Primary School, for The students enjoyed the beauty of falling red flowers on the ground and specifically asked the school staff not to sweep away the fallen redbud flowers. I was moved; Longgang Foreign Languages ??School and Jinjiang Experimental Primary School carefully designed desks for children to easily put their schoolbags. I was moved - they care about their children. They take the children's little things as big things, and they make the details about the children into high-quality products, which are full of human touch.

"Details of Education" seems to be a book that I have been calling for deep in my heart. It seems to be something I want to say to teachers and parents. It seems to be something I see, hear and feel every day. Every story comes to me, so it is very kind and soft.

At this point, I would also like to answer a question raised by Yongtong in the postscript "The Weight of a Book": How much weight does a book really have? As an educator and book writer, I know very well that the power of words is really limited, especially in this "spiritual dark night of education." I even once doubted whether anyone still reads books nowadays? Before the publication of my new book, I hesitated: I would just entertain myself, but would anyone read it if I wrote it? Is it meaningful?

However, when my readers write in and say that they read my book until midnight and burst into tears; after reading my book, they reflect on how little they spend with their children; after reading my book, they make up their minds to reduce the amount of money they give to their children. Class...I feel great comfort: my book is of little use, maybe it changes a mother a little bit, maybe it warms a family a little bit, maybe it makes a child a little bit happy - this little bit, maybe it will last forever. As the saying goes, "a change of one centimeter", I am willing to keep writing for this tiny change of one centimeter. As teacher Zhang Wenzhi said in the preface "The Fire of Self-Evidence" to "Details of Education": "We often use the method of recording stroke by stroke to hide some precious fire that helps our spirit to gain self-clarification."

I am reminded of the famous saying of former Czech President and playwright Vaclav Havel: "We insist on something, not because it will be effective, but because we firmly believe that it is right." Hope more People pay attention to the details of education and every individual being educated. Thoughts after reading "The Details of Education" (3)

Lao Tzu once said: "The difficult things in the world must be done in the easy way; the great things in the world must be done in the small way." This sentence means that all the difficult things in the world are done in the easy way. Start from the easy, and all the great things in the world are formed step by step from the details. It can be seen that if a person wants to achieve a career, he must start from simple things and start with the subtleties. The same is true for being a qualified people's teacher.

I recently read the book "Details of Education" by Mr. Zhu Yongtong. This book is a collection of many years of observation and thinking in the field of education.

This work is a plain narrative by an independent education researcher within the framework of common sense. It tells the essence of education and uses a keen eye to see through the truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood and ugliness in educational behavior. After reading it, you will be able to understand what is a good education, what is a good school, and what is a good teacher. There is no profound theory in the whole book. It abandons trendy terminology and focuses on the small things and details of education. It takes you to the education scene and gives you the most authentic and profound "profile" of education. While I was watching it, I compared it with my usual educational practice, and I couldn't help but feel and feel excited. This book not only teaches us how to be a good teacher in the future, but also teaches us how to behave.

Educating people is an important part of teachers’ work. In order for teachers' educational behavior to achieve the ideal effect, they must get rid of boring and boring single preaching, pay attention to the details of their own behavior, and influence students from the smallest details. Educational clips that leave a deep impression on students often come from an inadvertent detail. An ordinary word or a small action may leave a mark on a student's mind. An unintentional non-verbal behavioral mistake or a hurtful word blurted out may alienate the relationship between teachers and students, causing the real impact of education to run counter to the expected goals.

In the book, Mr. Zhu Yongtong mentioned that in 2009, Xiamen Huli Experimental Primary School was founded and he was hired as an educational consultant. The school attached great importance to students’ habit-forming education and developed “good habits. Good Kids” school-based curriculum. At the beginning, he often saw teachers in the school being indifferent to students' greetings. Strangely, there were many young teachers among these teachers. He first communicated with Principal Chen Rongyi, and then shared his observations and thoughts with teachers at a special study meeting for all teachers. He said that thoughtful teachers will find that every time they meet students on campus, he and the principal will naturally and positively respond to the students' greetings. Why?

Because they believe that the concept of equality is deeply embedded in the greeting etiquette, that is, it is a way for both parties to respect each other emotionally. Behind the behavior of responding and not responding, and how to respond, we can follow the clues and find traces of different concepts. Most teachers subconsciously have such a "deserve view": it is natural for students to respect teachers, so it is natural for teachers to receive respectful greetings from students. This idea that this should be the case only emphasizes the aspect of "respecting the elderly" in our culture and ignores the aspect of "loving the young", that is, the elders should give emotional care and respect to the young. For a long time, our education has had a value guide that emphasizes the authority and status of the elders, which has been passed down from generation to generation. As a result, many new teachers seriously lack the concept of equality, so they are often indifferent to students' greetings.

Responding negatively to students’ greetings can easily lead to unexpected results. On the one hand, as soon as students arrive at school, they are required to be polite people and are repeatedly taught to take the initiative to say hello to foreign guests and teachers. On the other hand, students who take the initiative to greet students need to give their emotions, but students must give their emotions. Greetings, but it is difficult to get emotional respect. Over time, there is a distance between their greeting behavior and their own emotions. Our habitual neglect of students' emotions accumulates over time, causing their personalities to be inevitably covered with the shadow of coldness and indifference.

When our school was first established, students were taught to take the initiative to say hello to their teachers when they saw them. The students also did it, especially the junior high school students did very well. Sometimes when I encounter a large group of students coming towards me, my face almost freezes with laughter because I have to keep responding to them. I am always used to facing each other. I looked at them with a smile and nodded gently and responded "Yes!" I thought I had done a pretty good job, but one time when I was walking on campus with a friend, I still responded to the students' greetings in this way. My friend said: "How do you respond to a student with 'um'? You should say 'hello'!"

I defended: "But I also responded to him with a smile!" But I The confidence is obviously insufficient, because I know that some students need to muster up a lot of courage when they say hello to the teacher. After greeting them, they leave in a hurry. They don’t dare to look at the teacher at all, so how can they see me? What about their smiles in return? Maybe you can only hear the word "um" from me! How cold is the word "um" without a smile?

I remember there was an open class in the junior high school at the beginning of the school. After the class, a teacher from the high school said to me: "Wow! Your junior high school students are so scary!" I asked confusedly what was wrong. She said: "I just met a child who said hello to me and bowed at 90 degrees! It made me so panicked!" In fact, there is no need to panic, just respond softly. Three or four years have passed, and today we no longer see students bending at 90 degrees and bowing to say hello to their teachers on campus. Some students are unwilling to say even a simple greeting. The reason is probably not just the low quality of some students.

In the process of education and teaching, teachers must be role models and pay attention to details in their daily behaviors on campus to avoid sending bad information to students. In many cases, the details of teachers' daily behaviors are "teaching by example" to students again and again, and this kind of education is more influential than "teaching by words."

Details determine success or failure, and the details of education are related to the success or failure of education.

So, can we still ignore those precious details in education?
